What I'm Watching - September 2017

I haven't had a lot of time lately to watch many shows or movies, but here's what I've had a chance to absorb this month:

THE DEUCE - Caught the first two eps this new HBO series from THE WIRE's David Simon and I gotta say, I absolutely love it.  I'm not a huge fan of James Franco usually, but he absolutely kills it here as does Maggie Gyllenhaal.  Definitely into it for the long haul.

RICK AND MORTY Season 3 - Because duh.

BABY DRIVER - Finally got a chance to see this and as promised, Edgar Wright delivers a really fun ride.  Also, chuffed to see one of their warehouse locations was the same place I shot a music video back in 2013.

PHILIP K. DICK'S ELECTRIC DREAMS - I caught first episode and...I dunno yet.  Perfectly dreary in its visuals, but nothing really stuck with me.  Seemed to be the less impressive cousin of BLACK MIRROR.  Will give it a few more eps to decide.

THE VOID - Re-watched this Lovecraftian horror indie again while prepping for my own film.  Definitely enjoyed it more the second time around, esp the ending.

THE BAD BATCH - I want to like this, I really do.  So far, though, I've had to turn it off twice and just can't seem to finish it.

68 KILL - Turned this off part way through.  May try to finish it at some point.

IT - I dug it, but it wasn't nearly creepy enough.  Jump scares are lazy.  That said, the casting was perfect and the non-horror scenes were wonderfully done.

Still to watch:

THE ORVILLE - Seth MacFarlane's Star Trek spoof. The reviews haven't been kind, but I wanted to give it a shot.

THE DARK TOWER - another critical disaster but I want to see it regardless.

PREACHER Season 2 - For some reason I just can't bring myself to watch the final 3 eps. As much as I loved the first season, this second season has been underwhelming.

LET ME MAKE YOU A MARTYR - Checking this one out because Manson's in it, but haven't found time to watch it yet.

What's everyone else watching this month?
