Speaker 1 (00:00):
Two Variety writers chose their favorite TV shows of the year,
and I wanted to just go They say, these are
the best.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Shows, and I just want to say, are we watching
any of these?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I'll tell you right off the bat what I've heard
of and then what I don't know. Okay, we'll start
with at number five. It Welcome to Darry. I see
tons of stories on Instagram, and my.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Brother in law's watching that show and he keeps asking
me if I'm going to watch it.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
I'm like, do you know me? I know I'm watching that.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
I got to episode three. Emma loves it. Emma told
me to watch it. Oh really, and I would have.
And I don't have a problem with the creepy, yeah,
scary stuff. It was the nineteen sixties racism that I
was like, all right, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yeah, And it was tough to watch. It's not overt,
but I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
And I saw where something was going and I'm like,
that is the thing, not this creepy flying baby, right.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
That was what it took me out.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, and number four is my favorite show of the year,
and that's Paradise with Sterling K.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Brown On.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I'm so happy that that made the list, although can
I February. I feel like we watched Paradise for every
eight years ago, Like I can't.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
It was really earlier this year. What okay? Because that
was my only concern.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I was like, was that this year Paradise was great,
so good if you haven't watched it.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I got away and the new trailer's good too. At
number three Forever on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Never even heard of that, never heard of it forever.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Number two The Pit on HBO Max.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Okay, So I tried watching the first episode, and I
do think I'm going to go back because I like
the main guy.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
He was no.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yes, it felt really really slow to me, though, I bailed,
and I don't know, like, at what point is this
going to pick up and start being like a medical
show that I am used to liking. I gave it
fifteen minutes and it did not do anything for me.
But I will say this, maybe I needed to force
past it because I started Landman when you first brought
(01:52):
it up, and I bailed because I could not get
past the first five minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And I can't tell you how much I love that show.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
You know who loves lamb Man's doctor Mark across the
street from.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Me, Doctor Mark is right, but Mark loves lamb. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Can I just give honorable mention? Though Chelsea already knows
because she wound up watching it. But if you like Landman,
there's a show and it's ten years old now, it
came out in twenty fifteen, but it was brand new
to me.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
And it's called Goliath.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
There's four seasons with Billy Bob and Chelsea just started it. Yes,
it's honestly, really it's lastly a little bit better than Landman. Wow,
it is so good. Billy Bob Thornton is just the
he's our thing right now. We're into it and who
would have ever thought that?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, you and the Billy Bob Adolescens, by the way,
is what they say is the best show on television
on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I did not watch that, but I've only heard good
things about it. I just don't really want to watch kids,
is that what it is?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I mean, well, I thought it was a kid in agers.
I don't want I don't really care anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I thought it was a kid who might have murdered someone.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
No, you're right, no, Yeah, Ridley's world turns upside down
when thirteen year old was arrested for murdering a schoolmate. Yes,
the charges against their son forced them to confront every
parent's worst nightmare.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Oh my god, maybe I will give.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
It a shot.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
God sounds so heavy, though, watch anything heavy?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I know that's kind of all. I don't get that.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Those RV shows, Yeah, that's listening. It's kind of hard
to go back when you tiny house live.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I don't know what your problem is with me watching
k and e r v TV.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
We don't have a problem.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
But Kim and Aaron make me happy. And I will
tell you that they made it to the smoke.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
He's just fine.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
They took their road trip from Maine and all is well, well.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The stop in DC, I might add.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
We love it and you being happy he makes us happy.
But the fact that you can't get caught up on landman, no,
because you're over at K and E's RV. It's just
it's perplexity.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know that you and your TV watching was actually
the main topic of conversation on our uber ride home.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Why in Disney?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Why?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Because our driver had a problem.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well, he also had bad TV watching.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
His was like yours.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, you guys could have been friends, did you tell
him that Rich and Jen just started that this new
farm breakfast farm place that is fantastic they just went
to We.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Told him about Rich and Jen or did he tell us?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I'm really confused because he was all about all that stuff.
And we would say shows that people know, like Landman,
and he'd be like, hm, never heard of it.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
So we're getting out of the uber. He drops us
off in front of the resort. Yeah, and he's going
to pick up his next spear and.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
It's these two girls and we're getting out of.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
The uber and we're like, he loves talking about TV.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
With your shows and Christy.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Don't We didn't have to. I'm sure about all of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Also also i'm off their Chelsea gives me grief. First
of all, why are you so nosy?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I love being and I know you know that I'm not.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I'm not observant, but stop, but she what.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Ten years thirteen?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah, you just now that's what that's her thing?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Rational and yellow seat belts. She's in everyone's business.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
She is in everyone's business. But like we're on the
plane coming back from Jay Juniors. Who even knew that
you two seats? So I was next to Luanne who
I love sitting next to Lannie Wald. Why because she
does her thing and I do my thing, and every
once in a while I think is something funny or
see something funny and I lean over and we laugh hysterically.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And go back to our things.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Me poking my.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Head, noh, And she's like that that beam with the
little head that.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Pokes out.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Homer Simpson coming out.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Of the bush. It right?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
But like, who knew you were watching what I was watching?
And why do you care?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Because I think it's it's just weird for you to
not watch a show or a movie on a plane. Instead,
you were listening to R and B music and come
flipping between different artists.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And not like unless you're editing.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
No, he was.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
That would be the only reason for you to not
watch is if you were editing.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I just don't know what's going on with you lately.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Nothing's going on with me.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But there's going on.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
It's weird.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You have some weird habits lately that are just so
out of character for you.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
I don't want to bring it up to what I
don't want to bring it up. Two days in a row.
But I mean, you bought yourself a great track suit.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Like the tracksuit has changed everything.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I'm just saying things are different, that's all. That's a
big deal. All the love still but.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Changing.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Sometimes sometimes you can only do something. You gotta make
some changes. You got to try new things.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Did you buy that?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Did you buy did you buy the burgundy track suit too?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yesterday?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
To get my beard?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Are you gonna buy like an Olive green next? Maybe
me and Allison will get you one for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Please don't buy me any clothes all.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
The rainbows of the track suit. Oh my god. No,
we will send you something. You're you're you're not getting
crazy about it. You're staying in your color pack.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You're the dark Ruins, dark color.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
