      Based on the recommendation from @Aqua-Letifer , I started to watch the Monty Python Flying Circus show. Lots of funny bits, but also lots of bits I don't understand due to British humor or British political figures/current events. But worth a watch. A lot of the stuff probably would not be allowed today. LOL About 1/2 through season 1

      Below is an example of a funny sketch (funny song begins at 4:00 minutes)

        Killer on Netflix, directed by David Fincher, was riveting. One of the most fun watches in years for me.

        Education is extremely important.

              Is "All the Light?" any good?

              What is "Lessons in Chemistry?"

              "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

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

                  Yes to both. Finished Lessons last night.

                    On Netflix:

                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godless_(miniseries)

                    In the series, set in 1884, a young outlaw on the run from his vengeful mentor winds up in a small New Mexico town populated almost entirely by women.

                    Only about an episode and a half in, but it's quite good, if you like Westerns, that is.

                      Just finished justified city primeval. Meh.

                      But the ending was interesting.

                      Fool Me Once was a pretty well done thriller.

                      Lessons in Chemistry was pretty good.

                        Godless: Two episodes to go.

                        Just outstanding. Great story, wonderful scenery, and the acting is good.

                        Some trope-ey stuff, but I can get over it.

                              I’m late. But I just finished Band of Brothers (2001). Wow if that production quality isn’t 100/100 I don’t know what is. Amazing.

                              Watching Pacific now and then later Maters of the Air.

                                      Bass? Yep. It of course examines him through his blackness, still good.

                                      Masters begins this weekend.

                                      Morning Show = MFR. Too soapy for me.

                                        My favorite scene: "We salute the rank, not the man."

                                        Haha yes I had to rewind and watch it again after that line. Love it. Also the dialogue was good. Little facial expressions instead of words... or one scene, I can't recall the exact words, but it's near the end where Nixon and Winters are by the lake and instead of stating the obvious line such as "you can have a job" he instead implies it such as "You know, I have a business in New Jersey". Little things like that make it better for the viewer so that words aren't spoon-fed but the ideas still come across.

                                          The fact that Sobel looks AWAY from Winters as he walks past tells you so much about the character. In the book, the story is told exactly the same way (but I believe Winters was not in a Jeep).

                                          Sobel walks past, trying to not make eye contact. Winters calls him out.

                                          After being saluted by Sobel, Winters returned the salute "smartly."

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