        I tried to watch the third season of Westworld, and I realized I had no clue of what the HELL was going on.

        So, I binged through season 2 this week.

        Hopefully, it'll all make sense now.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Has anyone read any of the "Longmire" books? They get great reviews on Amazon.

                  I've read a few. They're fun mysteries and they have a fun, slow, dry pace to them.

                    Thanks, Aqua!

                    I loved the TV series. It's sort of what you describe, slow and dry, but ultimately ingratiating. You really get to love Walt (and Starbuck, of course).

                    I'll seek out the first one.

                              As I mentioned, The History Channel has a 3 part miniseries about US Grant. Each episode is about 90 minutes.

                              Overall, well done - I haven't watched the 3rd episode yet.

                              My criticisms are that they spent far too little time on Grant's life before the Civil War in the first episode. His relationships with his in-laws and parents are touched upon, but not enough. Also, his time at West Point and the time spent between his two military careers is given to little attention.

                              The second episode deals with his military campaigns in the Civil War up to 1864. Though interesting to see his strategies for taking Vicksburg, etc, perhaps a bit too much attention is devoted to those details at the expense of not having enough time to deal with his presidency. We shall see. I remember reading that Grant was considered, at the time, the second most popular president of all. That being because he brought the nation together. That reputation, of course, didn't last, so it'll be interesting to see how this series deals with it.

                              I think it's available on demand. Worth a watch.

                                I wasted spent an hour this afternoon watching the first two episodes of Netflix's "Space Force." It's a "comedy" about the new commander of the newly-established "Space Force."

                                It was mildly funny, in a "Avenue 5" kind of way. Steve Carrell, whom I like as an actor, tends to overdo it (is this what he did in "The Office?") and John Malkovich does his best John Malkovich impression.

                                It was poignant seeing Fred Willard as Carrell's dad.

                                But...two episodes are enough for me to decide not to explore it any more. Taking it off my "watch list."

                                  Oh, "Grant" was good. As expected, it gave not enough time to Grant's presidency and his descent into poverty after he left the White House.

                                  One of the supposedly big issues with Grant was his alleged alcoholism. This was barely touched upon, even though it was the lynchpin of many of the criticisms leveled against him.

                                  I loved Chernow's biography of him and this was a good refresher. Perhaps I'll wade into Isaacson's biography as well.

                                  If nothing else, it gave me a sense of how this remarkable man is under-appreciated.

                                      HBO series called The Outsider based on Steven King novel. Like all of his movies, they don’t capture the eeriness or do good justice to the novels. But it’s a good time waster. 10 part series which I appreciate over a condensed two hour movie

                                        You're right, most all of King's books fail when transferred to video/movie ("Salem's Lot," "The Shining").

                                        At 10 episodes, it might be a nice way to waste spend an afternoon week.

                                          Like all of his movies, they don’t capture the eeriness or do good justice to the novels

                                          You're right, most all of King's books fail when transferred to video/movie ("Salem's Lot," "The Shining").

                                          At 10 episodes, it might be a nice way to waste spend an afternoon week.

                                          I probably find the series more interesting since I read the novel. I’m on episode 7 and would rate it a 7 On a 10 scale. The premise is a man, upstanding citizen, family man, little league coach, arrested for brutal slaying of little boy. And I mean brutal. His dna is all over the scene along with eye witnesses to his coming and goings at the time of the murder but the fact is that he was out of town at a conference at the time of the murder. Complete with video evidence that he was away. It’s a doppelgänger type of movie.
