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)

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

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

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.

Godless: Two episodes to go.
Just outstanding. Great story, wonderful scenery, and the acting is good.
Some trope-ey stuff, but I can get over it.

I just finished Band of Brothers (2001)
Truly amazing, wasn't it?
I wasn't about 3 years (?) later that I learned that Damien Lewis was not an American.
My favorite scene: "We salute the rank, not the man."
Link to videoDavid 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.”

Haha yes I had to rewind and watch it again after that line. Love it. Also the dialogue was good. Little facial expressions instead of words... or one scene, I can't recall the exact words, but it's near the end where Nixon and Winters are by the lake and instead of stating the obvious line such as "you can have a job" he instead implies it such as "You know, I have a business in New Jersey". Little things like that make it better for the viewer so that words aren't spoon-fed but the ideas still come across.

The fact that Sobel looks AWAY from Winters as he walks past tells you so much about the character. In the book, the story is told exactly the same way (but I believe Winters was not in a Jeep).
Sobel walks past, trying to not make eye contact. Winters calls him out.
After being saluted by Sobel, Winters returned the salute "smartly."
