We've been trying to watch it for over a week. Inevitably, either of us falls asleep after 20'. A lot of dejavú from the many Italo-american movies. Bo-oh-ring.
And Deniro, imho, lost his his acting with all those crappy movies he had to make in-between classics.
Yup, similar for me.
It doesn't help for me that I am generally cold on the gangster genre and Scorcese's gangster movies are the movies from him I value the least.
That said, everything about the Irishman was fine but certainly not the grand masterpiece it had been sold as. I was not bored by it but was largely uninterested. I also hated the CGI although tolerated because it was clearly neccesary for the story.

Wild Wild Country was a good six-part documentary about Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho).
I have been watching Mindhunter season 2 this weekend. Not as good as the first but still probably the best visual media about serial killers I have seen. I liked John E. Douglas books for all their self congratulatory back slapping. The series is more measured and as you might expect given the subject matter, fairly dark.
Speaking of dark, my kids recently requested I bing the German show Dark with them. I went in cold and completely underwhelmed by the general information they gave me about it. Still, it proved to be excellent and one of the richest plotted shows I remember in recent memory. Also, contrary to the consensus on Dark, I found the plot easy to follow.
