    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.

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

      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.

                I wasn't about 3 years (?) later that I learned that Damien Lewis was not an American.

                David schwimmer spoke to the real Major Winters during an event and asked him if Captain Sobel was that bad and Winters replied, “no. He was worse.”

                    Excellent

                    Morning Show

                    Got a bit too soapy, but fun.

                    Masters of the Air

                    It's out?!?!?!?

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

                      Masters begins this weekend.

                      Morning Show = MFR. Too soapy for me.

                        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."

                            Just finished Reply 1988, a Korean "slice of life" drama about a close knit group of families in a lower middle class/middle class neighborhood in Seoul during 1988 and 1989. Main focus is on 5 friends navigating life and relationships during their last year of high school, though it does focus on their families as well.

                            Brings back a lot of memories, as Korea, like Taiwan, was still developing in the late 1980's and 1990's. (I too can remember the excitement of having meat with a meal rather than just tofu and rice. LOL)

                            I think it does a very good job of capturing the atmosphere and style of life during that time. I recommend you watch it. It is 20 episodes, each one about 90-120 minutes in long.

                              Just watched Nefarious on Prime. Free and no commercials for some reason. I was surprised that it was a Christian morality play with high production values, good script, good acting, not cringey. Overt with some of the culture stuff, no more so than your typical mainstream moralizing in the opposite direction though. It has 33% in the tomato meter, with a 96% audience rating.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                Spanish paranormal drama about a Catholic priest exiled in a small village. Okay, so that sounds boring, but it really isn't. The first episode packs in a lot. Beware though; the show can be graphic and gory at times. There is a second season, but I haven't watched it yet.

                                          I watched three S Craig Zahler movies, and like all of them a lot. Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cellblock 99, Dragged Across Concrete. Heavy Tarantino vibes. They won't be to everybody's taste, but the actors are excellent and the stories are excellent. I mistook these movies for B level action movie cash grabs like Bruce Willis did towards the end of his career, but they are not. They are real pieces of art.

                                          Education is extremely important.
