Springsteen…sort of an attempt at humor. But not really

Pre 95 is really good music

The first 2 albums had some gems.

The stretch from Born to Run through Tunnel of Love has some incredible music.

Big slide thereafter, except for slight bounce back on The Rising...not great, but had some decent tunes

Bruce is not a great singer or crooner of course, but if the standard for R-n-R requires only a classically beautiful singing voice then that negates Dylan, Joe Strummer, Neil Young and countless others who have made some great music.

Of course this is possible but I think it is more likely that this is all fake

If you listen to any podcasts with Elon post election he sounded legit worried about his personal safety, safety of his family and damage to his businesses from the fanatical left. This is planned theater to allow Elon to de-link from Trump for the fanatics to allow him to get back to some sense of normalcy. By being “against” Trump the firebombings should stop and Elon will start to get more favorable media coverage.

Speaking of ancillary characters, you know that you are getting old when Danny Noonan from Caddyshack is playing the dad of the middle-aged main character.

She gave a very nuanced and complex performance being chased by devil worshippers; she was with Warren Oates and Peter Fonda in a sweet 70s motorhome with the back window shot out

Blinded by the Light.

Manfred Mann version much more popular than original from Springsteen’s debut album

Shot clock should be mandatory.

I’m not just being a contrarian and I’m sure this will get a flood of DVs but no shot clock is best. Ball possession is a skill and its use allows a less talented team to compete with a bigger/faster team. If a team doesn’t like it then they should cause turnovers. A clock is more for the spectators’ enjoyment than for the players…who cares about making HS basketball appeal to more spectators at the expense of dramatically changing the rules.

There may be many clues that I missed that would rule this out, but any chance that Harry is the rat? Could explain why he didn't mention finding the rat as a condition of the Fentanyl deal when he was on the phone with the cartel guy. Also maybe why he let Alice/Nicola go? Maybe why he threw the other guy off the roof (because maybe he knew that Harry was a rat). Plus the whole thing with Eddie and his daughter.

That’s pretty mean.

The facts presented in the show directly contradict your version of events. Maybe Netflix is lying about the facts that you claim to know better…it is possible. Panetta for example doesn't agree with what you wrote

Never said that they weren’t working on chasing him for a long time but you can’t deny who was President when they killed OBL

Anyone else watch it and feel the same way?

Sort of...it was very favorable to the CIA, made BO seem extremely wise and presidential, and was very negative toward Rumsfeld and DOD. There was an agenda based on the people that were interviewed (Ben Rhodes, John Brennan, Leon Panetta) and how they went out of their way to discredit enhanced interrogation while only presenting one side of the issue.

But, it cannot be denied that Bush did not get Bin Laden for 2 terms and the Obama security team did finally get him.

Was incredibly interesting to see the details of the immediate response after 9/11 plus all of the intel and planning to finally get him.

...never liked his music...

Bruce had lots of great music through Tunnel of Love. The period from Born to Run through the River was incredible material.

A big part of this is a 75 YO rocker desperately trying to stay in the headlines and get fawned over by the music press.
