    Binged this last weekend. I love thrillers...

    Link to video

    Great 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.

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

      6 part Netflix Docudrama

      Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War

      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.

          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.

              Also spent about 2 hours re-reading Walker's book on sleep.

                  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.

                    Dark Winds S2. First episode very good at setting the season.

                      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.

                        Started this, this PM.

                        Sasha 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.

                                Dark Winds Season 2 was good. S3 they say will drop this week. There was an occult plot line they wove through and just kind of dropped toward the end but that’s ok.

                                      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.

                                      Good, but not great. 3 stars.
