    First episode very good. Already complex, good characters.

      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.

            Speaking of things coming up.

            Severance

            Slow Horses

            Rumors of a Ted Lasso 4th season.

              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.

                    Well put. It went long, long, past its sell-by date.

                    And I found Meghan Markle annoying even back then.

                      I love Hiassen's books.

                      "Tourist Season" was hysterical, and "Striptease" was a much better book than movie. In fact, the book was pretty good.

                      Thanks for the heads up.

                          Just watched E1 of 3 Body Problem. So far so good.

                          Monsieur Spade very good too.

                            It's quite good. However, you have to understand that the 1st season incorporates storylines from the 2nd and 3rd books. Also some characters are composites of book characters.

                            2nd book is the best, by the way.

                            I think @Axtremus commented on the Chinese version. I watched about 12 episodes of the 36 episode series, which is only the 1st book. Moved kind of slow, so I gave up. It is much more faithful to the book(s).

                              Two episodes in - Vaughn is great. The setting's great. The narration's great.

                              The plot? Pure Hiassen.

                              Oh, the monkey, and the arm, are pretty good too.

                                        OK, on my list. Heard it's pretty funny.

                                        Very enjoyable. Goldblum carries the show, but the rest of the cast is great as well.

                                        The scene with Prometheus (Stephen Dillane) getting his liver eaten by the eagle is actually funny.

                                        The Greek Gods' family tree explained - as in Kaos.

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

                                          I liked Kaos a lot. As you said, Jeff Goldblum makes the show work: old school, real actor. Janet McTeer, is elegantly regal, and the guy who plays Posiden is Mediterraneanly oily. The younger people are randomly interchangable but a good plot line that keeps it fast and funny.
