Joe Sexton was the best part of this documentary. Everything else was frustrating as hell.

I just finished hbo’s “a killer story”, and holy fuck. This whole situation was completely off the rails. Left me baffled with the (lack of/untruthful) testimonies of the detectives. Absolutely ZERO evidence to convict Dana.

It truly makes me question the jurors in this too. Maybe if they had tried her in another state, somewhere where there wasn’t so much publicity, it would have ended differently.

I think Dana Chandler was tired of being silent for so long, so she wanted to represent herself to have her voice finally heard. Ultimately this was led to her guilty conviction.

Anyway, Joe Sexton did an amazing job interviewing, reporting, and making the show easy eyes on my eyes 😍

Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness

This one has been flying under my radar somehow. Had HBO on in the background and caught about 10 minutes of the Susan B. Anthony episode. Seemed absolutely hilarious.

I'll be watching this very soon. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts about it.

7 episodes, 30 minutes each, 1st Season

Just watched two episodes of the Wire, it's... not that good ?

EDIT : Judging by the answers, I should absolutely stick with it, so I'll keep going and see how it turns out

I got HBO Max to watch True Detective S1 in high quality for the 18th time, obviously it was awesome, and today I decided to give a try to the Wire, as I found many people praising it, saying that it's superior to giants such as Breaking Bad etc...

Frankly, I am very disappointed. Some tropes and characters have really poorly aged (the two funny guys, the main protagonist just being a typical charismatic rough-looking guy), the dialogues are so edgy and fake, I just cannot get into a show where everyone's got a fucking line every second, nothing feels natural, and it's just people cursing and poking at each other 24/7.

The cinematography/photography also seems very forgettable, sometimes it looks like it's one of these episodic-shows like NCIS with very little substance and just a new story to follow.

I don't know man, maybe I should keep going but I really lack the motivation right now. Watching True Detective S1 right before it may also impact my perspective as this is imo an undisputable 10/10.

Is it worth watching Peacemaker since season 2 ended on a cliffhanger?

This question is for those who have seen it.

I’ve also read that there is no planned season 3 and now that WB is merging with Paramount, what are your thoughts on this ever getting finished?
