Back on topic, we are watching Departure, 3 nights on Syfy. Pretty good story.
This?

On the eighth of 24 30-minute lectures.
Really enjoying, and it's simple enough to understand by a moron like me.

Yeah...don't overdo it.
The lecturer is good, and he explains things very clearly. However, if you do more than 4 lectures in a day (about 2 hours) your brain will start to hurt.

Just finished the first season of Katla. A little slow at times, kind of creepy, but the story was interesting, kind of unexpected, and the scenery/cinematography was fascinating. You can watch it in English, they do a good job with the dubbing.
Been watching DCI Banks and I can’t believe they just killed off my favorite character!

Mrs. Phibes loves Bosch. I would do too, if I had more time. I've read quite a few of the books, which are also great.

You know they're doing a spinoff?
Bosch, Honey Chandler, Billetts and Maddie all return.

Clarkson's Farm on Amazon.
Jeremy Clarkson has owned a farm since 2008. Now he's decided to run it. The first episode was interesting, and funny.
He's hopelessly out of his depth, but is getting a fair bit of help from people who aren't.
Incidentally, my paternal Uncle lives about 20 minutes from Clarkson - I haven't seen him since my brother's christening in 1966. Family argument.
Clarkson delivers a lamb.
"C'mon sheep!"
"I did a thing!"
"Look at that, no epidural, no shouting 'ow, ow, ow,' no yelling 'I hate you!'"

Up through the 4th episode, it’s interesting…

I have tried to watch "The Wire" several times. I always got lost in the characters (there are SO MANY bad guys!), the dialog and the slang. Invariably, I'd give up after about 3 episodes.
So, I thought I'd give it another shot, with subtitles.
Very good. Very gritty. Lots of NSFW language, and comments that would get you thrown off the air today.
Started season 2 yesterday, and I think it's better.

Now binging Lilyhammer on Netflix. Hysterical.
With Steven van Zandt ( guitar for Bruce btw) as a New York mafioso living incognito in Norway.
Italian Brooklyn meets countryside Norway.
Lots of LOL. Recommended.

Lilyhammer is a classic. I don't know how you missed it all these years. Paulie Walnuts (from the Sopranos) makes an appearance in later episodes.
The Wire? A masterpiece. So difficult to get into, but it's absolutely brilliant with multiple storylines that intersect. Make the effort.
I've always enjoyed lawyer shoes, going back to LA Law. I (mostly) enjoyed Suits, until Meghan Markle became a major character - didn't like her before Harry, even.
So, I'm binging through "The Good Fight." It's a spinoff of "The Good Wife" which was a lot of fun. If you want to see full-blown TDS, "The Good Fight" has it up to 11. One episode deals with impeaching him, another with the Moscow hookers. They even use the "fine people on both sides" line. If you can get past the horrifying partisanship, it's not too bad - it's popcorn TV, as was "The Good Wife."
"The Wire" is definitely not popcorn. It's steak and a single-malt.
