Started "Peaky Blinders" the other day. Watched 3 episodes.
Interesting, but I'm not hopeful that it'll turn out to be warmed-over Sopranos in the 1920s. Sets, costumes, acting are all first-rate (and I love Sam Neill), but the storyline seems pretty recycled.

Very good. Excellent, as a matter of fact.
Fantastic sets and costumes.
Each season is 6 episodes, so it's good for a weekend binge.
Fun watching Cillian Murphy as the head of a crime family.
It's loosely-based on the gangs in Birmingham who did all kinds of nasty stuff between 1880 and the 1920s.
I think this is a fan-made video, but it gives you a taste.

Binged this last weekend. I love thrillers...
Link to videoGreat first episode. A few interesting twists, and then...a totally disappointing and unsatisfying ending.
I mean, if you're going to make the bad guy be the bad guy, at least drop some hints throughout the story and not make it an out-of-nowhere surprise.
2 out of 5 stars.

Watched the 1st episode, narrated by Ed Harris. Very well done, engrossing story about the Gunfight at the OK Corral, the Earp Brothers, and all that stuff.
Don't know how historically accurate it is, but I'm enjoying.

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

Retire.
ETA: Watched one episode (at 1.25 speed) before lunch. G3 came to visit after lunch until about 2:30. Watched another two, and took a nice 45 minute nap.
That's how.

It's oddly great for the first couple of seasons. Then, it gets just odd with a sort-of unsatisfying finale. It was "good enough" as an ending, but the series was cancelled before they could wrap it up properly.

Not bad. Not great, but not bad. An interesting look into the rival between Earp and the Clanton gang. Reading about Earp’s history in Wikipedia, however, reveals this was a very superficial telling of the story which is much more complicated than you think. It portrays her as a kind of antihero, whose reputation is saved in his later life. However, his early life was rather shady And the period after tombstone was equally shady.
It’s not a bad overview of the events complete 1881 and 1882, but it’s very very incomplete.
Watch it at 1.5 speed.

Link to videoSasha Baron Cohen is great in this (mostly) true story.
Two episodes in - I'm hooked.

Actually rewatched "Downfall" about the last few days of Hitler. It was a good as I remember, but I had also forgotten quite a few parts of the movie, so it was good to watch it again.

Started this yesterday AM. 3/6 episodes in.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tourist_(TV_series)
The Tourist is a 2022 drama-thriller black comedy television series. It stars Jamie Dornan as the victim of a car crash who wakes up in a hospital in the Australian outback with amnesia.
Not really a comedy - at all.
Link to videoGood, but not great. 3 stars.
