A nice, relaxing comedy.

Yes. Not "too deep" and the episodes are just short enough.

This might be pretty good. Starts Jan 9.

Plowing through "The Old Man" season two.
I didn't realize that Joel Grey was in it - he's 92 years old.

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

Totally satisfying. With the likes of Bridges, Lithgow et al, how could it not be?
Sure, there are some slow spots and some plot sidetracks. Nevertheless season two ends with a sense of completion - the story's been told and we're done...
...other than this one thing. Whatever happened to....?
If renewed, a third season will answer that question.
When I grow up, I wanna be Jeff Bridges (other than the lymphoma part, of course).

Caught the first two of this while waiting for the Comcast repair guy...
Link to videoGetting great reviews. So far, I'm at about 3 stars (out of 5). Stretches credulity a bit too much (one of the reasons I didn't love "Lioness").

Just wasted two hours of my life watching Blitz. I watched it largely for the subject matter and that Steve McQueen seems to be a hot new director. No real arc, no character development, minimal dialogue. Blech.

I was going to look at it. Thanks for the heads up.
By the way, I read, somewhere, that The Day of The Jackal is coming to broadcast TV at the end of this month.

NBC is set to broadcast the pilot on US television on 30 December 2024.[22]

Jackal was great.
Odessa file was ok, but not great. -
Lots of spoilers:
Why did The Day of the Jackal end differently from the book?

We are enjoying Silo. Good production values and so far, an engaging storyline.
Next month:

Link to videoIn anticipation of season 2, i binged (again) season 1. Much better on the 2nd watch. Having read the books, I'm REALLY looking forward to a binge of season two. Gonna hold off until all episodes are available.
It's neat when "sci-fi" doesn't involve spaceships, etc.
Side note: In one of the episodes (#4?), one of the police yell to a citizen by name: "Howey."
The Silo books were written by Hugh Howey.
Read the books - they're great.

A really good British crime drama covering solving cold cases. The stories are pretty harrowing, but the whole thing is well acted, with plenty of well known and high quality character actors taking part.
I was only joking

@Doctor-Phibes yes!
I'd forgotten (heh) this series. Very well done. Understated, quiet and respectful.
