Started Dalgliesh yesterday. Based on the crime novels of P.D. James, and is set during the 1970's in the UK.
 
Peacemaker is okay, but Eagly (not sure how to spell it) is awesome. I want more Eagly.

The Expanse was kind of a let down. I kept looking to see if there was another episode or something I'm missing.

It ends after the 6th season. The books carry on though.
 
I watched the Last Duel the other night. Loved the look of the movie. It was just more drawn out than it needed to be. Telling a story from 3 different perspectives is interesting, but there really was not much difference between 2 of them. The movie could have been 30 minutes shorter.
 
Just finished HBO's Succession. I now want my waystar / royco hat. You can't make a tomlette without breaking some greggs.
 
Tread, on Netflix, is the story of the Colorado dude that bulldozed his town in a grudge with the town board, planning commission, and the alleged local good ol’ boys Network. It starts slow, but finishes strong.

I think we had a thread about this around when it happened in 2004, but I’m too lazy this frigid Saturday afternoon to hunt it down or look for it in a RTDNTOTO thread. :cold:
 
My wife and I started the second season of Never Have I Ever on Netflix a couple days ago. Neither of us are teenage Indian girls living in SoCal so we were surprised at how much we liked season 1 when we watched it on a whim a while back. Season 2 seems just as good.

So a lot like a bulldozer?
 
Finished The Good Fight - I hope they do one more season to button things up

Saw the last episode of Yellowjackets and they better do another season because too many unanswered questions

starting last season of Ozark later
 
Finished off Ozark Season 4, Part 1 last night. With it mostly filmed in and around Atlanta, it's fun for me to pick out filming locations. Aside from Lake Lanier masquerading as the Lake of the Ozarks, Season 4 has the Scott Antique Market, Northside Tavern, the 191 Peachtree Building and the Ritz Carlton pretending to be in downtown Chicago, Piedmont Park with a superimposed false skyline in the background, and my local dirt track where I go watch the late models and sprint cars race a few times a year.

I am on episode 3 of this season - what an amazing show, honestly
 
Where is Hit Monkey streaming? I saw something about it once and it looked interesting.

we cut the cord on cable so we have Hulu plus so we can get live news and stuff, and we have Netflix and Amazon Prime plus - Hulu and Amazon give us a lot of other channels like showtime

our daughter pays for disney plus and HBO plus so we have that too

the only one I would like to get that I don't have is Britbox

Hulu's decent and worth it in my opinion.

We have Netflix, Disney and PrimeTV and we have a streaming service provided as part of our ISP, otherwise we like to have over-the-air reception too.

Over-the-air provides us about 40 channels for free in my Metro.
 
My wife won't cut the cord and I'm not going to force it. She's distracted and happy and has no idea what my left hand is doing in the background (far side joke you sick minded people). I would think over the air would get me plenty of channels here. It's a valley, but all the antennas surround us so everyone in the valley gets everything.
 
Finished Ozark this morning and wow, what a ride that show is - I don't want to spoil it but if you haven't watched it, you really should
 
On a whim my wife and I watched The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window on Netflix. All we really knew about it was that it had good reviews and was a "dark comedy" staring Kristen Bell. We both really like her and usually enjoy dark comedies. The trailer on Netflix didn't give us much to go on, but we decided to watch anyway.

We loved it.

Once you get about two and a half episodes in and you realize that it is 100% parody and I think once you get that it just gets funnier and funnier.
 
This is my last year with Amazon. I dont really use the shipping anymore. I use E-bay now for online ordering. It has some good stuff, but the price is going up again and it just doesn't have value for me that much anymore. Staying with Youtube TV/HBO Max package for now mainly because all my kids can use it via Youtube TV. When I get near retirement/downsizing mode I am going to punt all of it and live off antenna and Pluto TV lol.
 
Watched Harlen Corben's Stay Close on Netflix and it was good - the reviews said it didn't stick with the book but I hadn't read it so it was fine

good one to watch while folding laundry - not too complicated, a couple of surprises, but enough character development where you want to see how it all pans out and things get buttoned up at the end

Watched the latest season of Cobra Kai with my son, and the show is getting boring and too over the top. The first season was a lot of fun, but the show has quickly transformed into an amorphous blob of a teenybopper soap opera.

That's why I couldn't get through all of Season 2.

My only pet peeve with Hulu is its pure failure in placement of commercials. I'm only watching one show but the commercials are never lined up to where they should be; you either get a sliver of the next scene, then a commercial or a commercial followed by a sliver of the last scene. In our digital age, shouldn't the commercials pretty much insert themselves correctly?

I know -- first world problems but I'm very aware of it whenever I watch hulu.

An inflatable hot tub you say?! How much noise does it make? And does it have to be on all the time?

Saw this on Amazon, where do you think their legs are?

This is basically what we have. We don't run the air bubbles, just plain water. You sit on the floor of the tub, there are no seats, it is about 30 inches deep. I don't think we could put 4 adults in our tub, nor would we want to, as part of the enjoyment is being sans swimsuits. We don't run chemicals or leave it on all the time. It's cheaper for me to drain most of the water and refill with fresh (Tankless Water Heater FTW) than to keep the water hot as our 3 season porch is enclosed, but not insulated. The recirculating pump is quiet, the blower for bubbles is a little loud.
 
Currently spinning down the rabbit hole that is BritBox - knocked out S1 of Bloodlands (S2 not available yet) and S1 of Traces (S2 also not available yet), started S1 of Shetland last night - initial impression of Shetland is that it is similar to Death in Paradise (lots of murders in a very small geographic area), just colder and without any humor.

Shetland is way better than Death in Paradise - lol - but I loved both series but different reasons

I am thinking about watching the new Reacher series - one of my favorite authors, Lisa Gardner, reviewed it on her Facebook page and said it was more true to Lee Child's description of him - I do love those books and was so disappointed when previously they casted Tom Cruise as Reacher as that is not at all what I pictured for his character - anyway, I might give it a whirl next

He was funnin' you! comparing a dark noir police procedural with what's essentially a 'feel-good' cozy mystery whodunnit because they both take place on islands, is like comparing Murder She Wrote with some gruesome police procedural that happens to have a female lead and saying yeah, they're pretty much the same thing: you know, women solving crimes singlehanded.:rofl:
 
Started Good Omens and I like it.

Hubby and I started Suspicion on Apple TV. One episode in and we are definitely going to finish this one!

Still working through Mayor of Kingston. It's dark, parts are disturbing, and you really can't binge it. We break it up with Daily Show and other lighter fare.

I had to take a break on The Boys in Season 2. I can deal with dark shows, but it got a little too dark for a bit. I think I'm ready to finish out the season.

I started watching Reacher last night. Not bad, its a good way to kill an hour. And definitely closer to the books than 5'6" Tom Cruise playing the character.

The comics the show is based on are written by Garth Ennis, a writer that features extreme violence and over-the-top situations in his comics ("The Pro" is about a sex worker that gains superpowers). I would imagine the upcoming season will be even more violent and bizarre.

I did specify the one general similarity between the two shows. Regardless, I won't be visiting the Shetland Islands or the fictitious Saint Marie due to the very high odds of being murdered. :ha:
