    Watched a couple of "Morning Show" episodes. I always found Reese Witherspoon annoying. Not for any specific reason, just didn't care for her. SO far, I still find her annoying.

    Anniston is coming off as pretty complex, for a bitchy stereotype.

    Carrell is masterful. Always loved him as an actor.

    We'll see.

      A few months ago, I taped a few episodes of The Drew Carey Show. Spouse like them. We now have 238 episodes clogging up the DVR as SHMBO wants to be able to watch them at any moment.

          Based on the recommendation from @Aqua-Letifer , I started to watch the Monty Python Flying Circus show. Lots of funny bits, but also lots of bits I don't understand due to British humor or British political figures/current events. But worth a watch. A lot of the stuff probably would not be allowed today. LOL About 1/2 through season 1

          Below is an example of a funny sketch (funny song begins at 4:00 minutes)

            Killer on Netflix, directed by David Fincher, was riveting. One of the most fun watches in years for me.

            Education is extremely important.

              Season six of the crown. After that: all the light we cannot see. Both Netflix.

              And of course slow horses.

                  Is "All the Light?" any good?

                  What is "Lessons in Chemistry?"

                      Yes to both. Finished Lessons last night.

                        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godless_(miniseries)

                        In the series, set in 1884, a young outlaw on the run from his vengeful mentor winds up in a small New Mexico town populated almost entirely by women.

                        Only about an episode and a half in, but it's quite good, if you like Westerns, that is.

                          Just finished justified city primeval. Meh.

                          But the ending was interesting.

                          Fool Me Once was a pretty well done thriller.

                          Lessons in Chemistry was pretty good.

                            Just outstanding. Great story, wonderful scenery, and the acting is good.

                            Some trope-ey stuff, but I can get over it.

                                  I’m late. But I just finished Band of Brothers (2001). Wow if that production quality isn’t 100/100 I don’t know what is. Amazing.

                                  Watching Pacific now and then later Maters of the Air.

                                    David schwimmer spoke to the real Major Winters during an event and asked him if Captain Sobel was that bad and Winters replied, “no. He was worse.”

                                        Unaware of this. Any good?

                                        Got a bit too soapy, but fun.

                                        Masters of the Air

                                        It's out?!?!?!?

                                        Shrinking

                                        Just couldn't.

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

                                          Bass? Yep. It of course examines him through his blackness, still good.

                                          Masters begins this weekend.

                                          Morning Show = MFR. Too soapy for me.
