So the actor who played the former commie spy is going to be the very American Perry Mason. Somehow, I can't see him being Perry, but I'll give it a shot.

I've been watching that Epstein series Filthy Rich but fell asleep during it last night. I'll have to replay some of that episode from last night.

I'm binging Boardwalk Empire and I don't remember enjoying Soprano's as much as this. Great moments, great subtle humor, great deaths, great twists.
I was literally yelling "**** you! **** you! **** you!" when he killed Jimmy's wife and lover. I liked her a lot. ****! |

Edit: Finished it. The end was a surprise, but cliche. Last edited by eDave; 06-05-2020 at 12:37 PM.. |

I keep waiting for Steven VanZant's wig to fall off. It has to be a wig, right? |

Gotham is really good. Redhead guy from Shameless is a great Joker. Other characters are great too.
Erin Richards is drop dead gorgeous. Yikes. No spoilers please. |

Gotham started to drag so I moved to The 100 (Netflix). It's got it all. Walking Dead, Lord of the Flies, Elyseum, BSG. Loving it so far (S1,E10)

I watched the 100 (it's actually from CW, not netflix) for maybe the first five seasons. It was really good, just stopped watching for some random reason.

One show that just ended that I lean towards a recommend, and one just starting that is very promising.
Never been so conflicted as with 'I Know This Much is True,' it is a very well acted and nuanced mini-series that is almost preternaturally ill-suited to the times. At times it verges on torture porn, and can leave you a little hollowed out. But overall it is so well acted and so well crafted that, if you think you have the constitution to do so, it is worth a close watch. It's basically a story of how family, history, fate, etc. can trap us in our own self-destruction, and the things one has to come to terms with in order to continue on. That probably doesn't make it sound appealing, but perhaps better is to characterize it as a contemporary riff on the parable of Job. The trailer below is decent, but it frames it as some wacky hijinks drama just about twin brothers, but it's wider and more expansive, and if you had to encapsulate it, it makes a realistic picture of the things that coalesce over a lifetime to foment resentment and despair, and how hard they can be to let go, and how important it is to let them go anyway. Less heavy in some ways, but looking to be more heavy in others, 'I May Destroy You' looks very promising. It looks to be a very different look at dealing with sexual assault, where the conclusions become clear but the roadway there is messy and confusing. I've only seen the first ep, but it's a different approach from anything I've seen before. Very subtle and nuanced, almost so you don't even register. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out, could fall apart, could triumph, we'll see. And the lead is very compelling in her own right. |

I just binged through the 6th season of Alone. It was added to Netflix recently. Just awesome for anyone that is an outdoors and/or survival enthusiast. Can't believe I had not heard to this series. They put 10 people in the Canadian arctic, 75 miles south of the tree line. You can tap out at any time, also have no idea how many people are remaining. Last person wins $500k. Man, every single one of the people on that show have legit survival skills. I have been a hiker/backpacker/mountaineering kind of guy for years and I wouldn't hold a candle to pretty much anyone that I watched on that show. |
