    I'm hesitant to go down the Yellowstone universe rabbit hole. I think I might watch 1883 and 1923, but will probably stop after that. My brother in Dallas ran across a TV show being filmed, I think called "Madison", another spin off.

    @Mik I liked Yellowstone, agree with your feeling. Just this morning I was thinking that the main thing I'll miss from the show are the cowboy/scenery moments with montage music. To me, at least, it was really peaceful and enjoyable to watch. The story itself was fun, with some specific episodes that were amazing, but the cowboy scenery is what will last with me.

      It struck me as well. I have a very close friend who actually became a working cowboy in Montana after high school and a couple years of college. Spent a week with him up in summer cattle camp in the mountains. It was great.

        How do you people find time to watch these-multi episode, multi-season shows? I can barely get through, "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" without skipping to just the good parts.

          Quit working. You'll be amazed how much time you have. For a while, anyway. Then everything you do regularly will take three times as long.

          Coffee and morning reading, puzzles, etc. is three hours. I used to go to the gym, get a workout in in 30 minutes. Now it's 90 to 120 minutes, but I do a LOT more exercises.

            Renato practicing some Ravel on my piano.

            More than likely the most complex piece ever played on my piano.

                Nice. Very nice.

                Is your piano in a different room? I don't recognize the curtains.

                    Those are the same curtains that have hung on that window since long before we even moved in here 27 years ago. My best guess is 70s or 80s vintage. 🤣

                        Started it today.

                        Very, very, Taylor Sheridan - that's not a bad thing.

                        Not quite as soapy as Yellowstone, but there's definitely some soap in there.

                        If for no other reason than Jon Hamm...there's Billy Bob Thornton who is just fantastic. Probably as good as he was in Goliath.

                        Also more T & A than Yellowstone, so that might be a good thing.

                        Just a couple of episodes in, but very binge-worthy.

                          Cunk on Life - The movie that follows the series on Netflix.

                          If you liked the series, this is more of the same.

                          It is stupid, but it is funny.

                              Cool, I plan to watch that eventually.

                              Right now I'm watching two shows that were very popular a couple years ago but I never watched them at the time (very normal for me... LOL). I'll mention the show titles when I'm done with the first seasons, since I'm highly sensitive to spoilers, even accidental hints.

                                  It caused a smile. Gotta wonder what the point was, other than to fill some air time to stretch the episode to 50 minutes.

                                  Also, a bit TOO much T & A.

                                    Watched another couple "Sandbaggers" yesterday. Really really good. Each episode stands alone, dialog is thick, plots are frequently convoluted, but it moves along very well.

                                    The chief of intelligence services (appropriately named "C") tells one of the operatives to bug out if things don't look right, "There is no James Bond in our business."

                                    If you like LeCarre (@bachophile I'm looking at you), check this out. Very few shows get an 8.0 on IMDB - this is one of them.

                                        First season was a "meh" for me. I'll probably watch the second, but it's low in the queue.

                                        From what I've read, Paramount would have to pay me to watch it.
