This is totally random, but I really enjoyed watching Turn (AMC, from 2014-217, I think). Terrific acting by all, great sets, great drama... it's about the Washington spy ring during the revolutionary war.

Yes. Interesting series, and a lot of interesting actors - Burn Gorman comes to mind.

Funny. I didn't know the actor's name but when I searched Burn Gorman I was hoping it was that guy (who played Hewlett). His character arch is probably the thing I remember most from the series.

Watched Kaos E2 last night. Great stuff. SO original.

What can I do? With some many of you peeps watching, I had to too. Kaos..

Saw episode one. Different. I liked the music tracks. Enough to keep going.

I really enjoyed Kaos too.

I’m also currently watching a Korean series called The Good Bad Mother on Netflix . Mrs Phibes is addicted to these things and I’m watching it with her, and actually really enjoyed the silliness. The humour is rather like something the Brits would do- who knew?

Just re-watched A Few Good Men. Man, Tom cruise in the early 90s…add in The Firm, and both soundtracks, so good.

Ancient Aliens & the other assortment of ridiculous pseudo-science “reality” shows on the History Channel.

Can’t wait (not) for this year’s premier of The Curse of Oak Island in November. Can’t believe that it has made it to season 12.

Somehow, Slow Horses just didn't get me the first time around, so I thought I'd give it another shot. In the last week I binged through the 1st two seasons.

Season 1 was a mess with the poorly-defined false flag operation. Tavener comes off as a thoroughly unlikeable apparatchik. Love Lamb's insults, however. The story is just weird, and hard to follow.

Season 2 was, IMO, better. Several bad guys, with a surprise baddie at the end. Much stronger.

I'll probably do season 3 tomorrow and Monday.

She asked me to ask you what your top 4 recommendations would be....

[taiwan_girl]

Okay. The four I list below are all a bit different in their style, but all good.

Crash Landing On You - romcom
Memories of Alhambra - "sci-fi" -ish
Reply 1988 - Slice of Life story of ordinary people
Itaewon Class - Underdog story set in Seoul

Crash Landing on You (probably the most famous K Drama)

Okay.

Thank you! I will pass this on.

What this latest interest has shown is that simply listening to a lot of Korean language does not enable us to understand any of it whatsoever. Osmosis is apparently a myth, at least for the British.

The Money Game.

Currently on Prime. It focuses on NIL and LSU. What happens when a college kid makes $9M?

For Reply 1988, the first time I started to watch, I stopped before the end of the first episode. But, I was glad I went back to it. As mention above, it is just a "slice of life" show. No special effects, no CGI, etc. But really quite good.

[George K]

Just kidding.

Currently on Prime... Field of Valor

Tried to watch Wolfs last night. Don't bother. I'm sure Clooney and Pitt had a ball doing it, but it's pretty boring and predictable. Started back on Foundation. Hard to get used to Seldon being alive.

Slow Horses 4 is great as usual, but more of the same. Great characters.

Watching Fall Guy. Outstanding entertainment for a Saturday night.
