@Mik my favorite Larson book.

DiCaprio bought the rights 15 years ago, and it languished. Nice to see that Mr. Mudgett will get some screen time.

Just started Sandbaggers. So low tech and well written dialogue.

It's brilliant. Each episode stands alone. Some of the rare action scenes are cheesy, but, it's 1979.

[Mik]

Yeah, I can adjust for that.

Once you start to know the players, it gets better and better. The end of season one is a shocker.

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.

@George-K Ok the other show I was watching was True Detective, the first season (2014?). I think I saw it on some list of "best first seasons evah!". It was enjoyable to watch the acting, I didn't think it was the best show I've seen in a while, but still a nice storytelling approach. I don't plan on watching the other 3 seasons.

Just finished E3. Burnside’s a sonofabitch isn’t he.

I just started watching Chernobyl. It's only like 5 or 6 episodes, but is highly rated.

Started Section 31 while pedaling. It started out great, then descended into a futuristic Batman movie.

Good show. In an odd way, 5 episodes was perfect...not long and drawn out, and not too short either. Very well done, I can see why it's so highly rated.

Just looked it up and saw the awards it was nominated for and won. It's a shame the main actor (Jared Harris) didn't win the Golden Globe, but in an odd twist, what the show didn't win it lost to usually...Succession, which I think is the next series I'm going to watch. It was a random toss up between that, Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones, Billions, and a few other shows I want to "binge" (as much as I can with maybe one episode per night).

@George-K speaking of this thread... you are missed! What are you watching these days? Shirley it's something more entertaining than TNCR post-election!

Mobland on Parmount plus. Pierce Brosnan’s finest work. One line in first episode is worth the whole hour.

Just finished watching Succession. Good show, loved the music, too.

The Silo books were written by Hugh Howey.

Read the books - they're great.

I loved the books, too - I read the whole series very quickly

I just watched the first episode of the TV Series. Should I stop and go read the books?

I haven't seen the TV series as I don't have Apple TV, but yes!
