    I mean visually it's amazing. Also it's only an hour, so, small commitment.

      The Stranger on Netflix. English detective show, I think. One episode in. Curious enough for a second.

      Stick with it.

      Very complicated, though not obscure. Lots of twists with a depressing, but ultimately satisfying conclusion.

      Another weekend wasted, LOL.

        If you thought that finding out who Olivia's father is was a shock, you're in for a bumpy ride!

          Started watching "The Shield." Only a couple of episodes in, but it's very interesting. Some characters are caricatures, but it's engrossing, to be sure. Enjoying Walton Goggins, of course.

                    I’ve been in that room and seen that painting. I took a picture of it before noticing the sign that said not to.

                      Some really funny moments immediately followed by something really dumb. Disorienting. One of my tests of bad film is meandering tone.

                      This is typical of the soulless comedies being produced today. The Office, Parks and Rec...the theme being 'look how stupid ordinary people are'. It is that same kind of snide stuff I cannot abide in Colbert.

                        Always Goggins. Whatever he is in. The Unicorn is kind of DOA but his work is really good as usual.

                            Almost finished watching "Crash Landing To You". It is a Korean drama about a hi-so Korean young lady who, during a hanggliding trip, is caught in a storm and blown to North Korea.

                            Kind of a Romeo- Juliet romance. It is very "Asian" in parts, but I am enjoying it quite a bit. Having spent time in both ROK and DPRK, it is fun to see the show with that eyes.

                            It is 15 episodes, each one 1 - 1.5 hours long.

                            Fun show, but I am not sure how well it would do with US audiences.

                            (BTW, it has English subtitles so you dont need to know Korean language).

                                    After my ex and I separated, I dated around a lot. C'mon, I was an intern, and there was this huge hospital full of pretty young nurses.

                                    There was one, in particular, who really struck my face. Turns out that her family was from Korea, I think, and her dad was a radiologist.

                                    Her name was Jennifer. I still fantasize about her, now and then.

                                      Watched the 1st two episodes of Season 1.

                                      It's...OK. I'm not enthralled so far. Seems to set up too much stuff for later resolution, and the 90 minute first episode was little more than "Let me introduce you to the characters and set up the crisis for the rest of the season."

                                      Costner is good. Much of the supporting cast seems to be caricatured:

                                      • The slick lawyer son
                                      • The daughter with a drug/alcohol problem who's a bitch
                                      • The (not really a son) guy who's treated like a son
                                      • Reservation characters - Didn't "Longmire" do that, and so far, better (Lou Diamond Phillips)?
                                      • Corporate greed - yeah, Longmire did that too.

                                      I'll give it another few chances, but...

                                        Watched the 1st two episodes of Season 1.
                                        It's...OK. I'm not enthralled so far. Seems to set up too much stuff for later resolution, and the 90 minute first episode was little more than "Let me introduce you to the characters and set up the crisis for the rest of the season."

                                        Finished Season 1.

                                        It's like "Dallas" for the 2000s. Usual dysfunctional family. Usual fabulously wealthy head of the family. Usual nefarious people trying to get his money/land. Random characters introduced midway through the season (Walker) because, well, they needed to do something.

                                        Not impressed.

                                        If there were nothing else I wanted to watch, I'd plunge in, but there's so much more in my queue that I'll put this on a far back burner for now.

                                        Wonderful scenery, though.

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

                                          We’re into the 2nd season of Cobra Kai. It’s growing on me.
