Well there's a ringing endorsement if ever I heard one before.

It's about the best I can do. I have long thought the industry is a little overboard on violent scenes.

or something like that
 
Finished Castle last night. Time to pick a new show. I'm thinking Dalgleish?

On a related note. My kids have finally outgrown Curious George: A Halloween Boofest. We used to watch it continuously for a month and a half around Halloween. My wife and I really miss it. Such a great cartoon.

Ditto.

I really liked the Curious George series in general and enjoyed watching it with my kids and the Halloween special was a great one. Last year I tried watching it again with our youngest and was saddened that she was getting a little bored with it.
 
My wife and I re-watched (for the third time maybe?) A.P. Bio. That was definitely a fun show. I would have loved to see another season or two with a new group of students but at least it ended on an upbeat note.

Been watching Six Feet Under - the first 2 episodes are pretty good

This is a show I started watching when it first came out, then stopped probably because my oldest was born and just didn't have time. I really liked the first few seasons and have always wanted to go back and watch it from the beginning but haven't yet.
 
So this isn't a show, but rather a couple of podcasts. We travel from Northern IL to Tulsa for the BMX Grands over Thanksgiving and we drove down today. The kids had their iPads and headphones, so my wife and I listened to a few podcasts. First up was Who Killed JFK with Rob Reiner. The other one is from 8 years ago or so. We have already binged it once, but decided to listen to it again. It is sooooo good. S-Town.
 
I'm going back and watching all the old Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. Hard to believe that show started like 35 years ago. Many of the special effects still manage to hold their own. I'm not the first to make this observation, but that show was light years better than its predecessor that ran in the late 60's: had better SFX, better acting, better writing, better sets and production quality.

Working my way through Series 1 of Bron/Broen (The Bridge). This one is the Scandi original, which I've never seen, although I've watched the two remakes - the two seasons of the FX series The Bridge, and the first series of the British/French version The Tunnel.

I'm currently watching Der Pass on Prime/Acorn (the German/Austrian remake of Bron/Broen, which for some reason was renamed "Pagan Peak" by Prime). Like the other remakes, Der Pass follows the same basic plot for S1, and then goes in a completely different direction for subsequent seasons; S3 has a very Black Spot vibe to it through the first six episodes...

It's on Prime/Topic, not Acorn...
 
Found ~23 seasons of the May/Hammond/Clarkson Top Gear on Freevee.

Excellent. 🤙

The Curse is amazingly cringy on Showtime. It's only 3 episodes in so far. Dark comedy and HGTV-ish community makeover satire based in Espanola, NM.

I've heard this elsewhere. You're apparently not the only one to feel this way as one other person told me essentially the same thing. Fortunately, I don't have Showtime, so I'm not tempted to watch it.
 
We've got one final episode of Brokenwood to watch probably tonight or tomorrow night, and then move on to a new show. What should that show be and why?

We're going to watch the final episode tonight. So last chance to get your recommendations in.
 
Season 8 episode 1 of Shetland just dropped into Britbox - weird without the lead dude who I love but it was still a good first episode
 
We've been watching Numbers for the second time and I still agree that I like the show. But this time around, I'm really annoyed with the Judd Hersh character who can't decide what he actually did for a living (he's retired now). The shows writers are obviously confused as to what a City Planner actually does (the career they repeatedly say he retired from) -- he claimed to be an architect at one point, be capable of doing full on engineering analyses, but doesn't understand what CAD is. It's close ... and also far away from reality if he was truly working in the City office and, while I love Judd Hersh in general, I'm really annoyed with his character popping up randomly in FBI cases where he has no business.

Also, based on this show, the FBI really has no idea what they are doing and uses the mathematician brother, his Cal Tech colleagues, and "planner" father for every single case they have.

I'm in the last season ... I've truly enjoyed the show but I think I'm about done.

I enjoyed the series when it was on TV. Most people have no clue what we do for a living.
 
Season 3 of Slow Horses has begun on AppleTV+. Seasons 1 and 2 were fantastic but I made the mistake of starting season 3 before there were too many episodes out. I'm only 3 episodes in and it's the best so far but now I've got to wait for new episodes each Wednesday. Each season is only about 6 episodes long so I'm thinking of re-watching the first two seasons so I can take up a little bit of time and give time for a few more episodes of season 3 to drop.

If you like espionage with a little bit of dry, dark humor (and have access to AppleTV+) this is a great show.
 
Fourth season of For All Mankind is dropping episodes every week. I think this'll be the last season, based on the way it's heading so far, and the story arc. We've really liked it so far, except one portion of one episode that wasn't so great to see while eating dinner.
 
I just finished Marvel's Secret War. I don't know if I binged it, but it took up my lunch hours a half hour at a time through all six episodes.
 
Did anyone else watch the UK version of Ghosts that broadcast on CBS/Paramount last night? I think I prefer the American version to the original British. Thorfin the viking is a much funnier barbarian type than the caveman, for example.
