I really enjoyed Kaos too.
I’m also currently watching a Korean series called The Good Bad Mother on Netflix . Mrs Phibes is addicted to these things and I’m watching it with her, and actually really enjoyed the silliness. The humour is rather like something the Brits would do- who knew?

Okay.
Thank you! I will pass this on.
What this latest interest has shown is that simply listening to a lot of Korean language does not enable us to understand any of it whatsoever. Osmosis is apparently a myth, at least for the British.

Mrs. Phibes said thank you. She's already seen the first two, and will give the second two a go.

The Money Game.
Currently on Prime. It focuses on NIL and LSU. What happens when a college kid makes $9M?

For Reply 1988, the first time I started to watch, I stopped before the end of the first episode. But, I was glad I went back to it. As mention above, it is just a "slice of life" show. No special effects, no CGI, etc. But really quite good.

Tried to watch Wolfs last night. Don't bother. I'm sure Clooney and Pitt had a ball doing it, but it's pretty boring and predictable. Started back on Foundation. Hard to get used to Seldon being alive.
Slow Horses 4 is great as usual, but more of the same. Great characters.

Something disturbing...
I enjoy Steve Carrell's serious work. Here's an example on Hulu.
The Patient:
Link to video"The Patient is an American psychological thriller limited series created and written by Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg, who also serve as showrunners and are executive producers Chris Long, Caroline Moore, Victor Hsu, and Steve Carell. The series stars Carell alongside Domhnall Gleeson and Linda Emond in lead roles. It premiered on August 30, 2022, on FX on Hulu and concluded on October 25, 2022, after a ten-episode run.
The series follows a therapist (Carell) who is held captive by a patient (Gleeson), seeking unconventional therapy for his homicidal urges. The narrative delves deep into the psychological tension between the characters, focusing on themes of trauma, morality, and control."
Weisberg was one of the creators of "The Americans."
This is creepy AF, but Carell is great.
10 episodes (I think) about 30 min each. Good weekend binge...

Ok, Fall Guy kind of went off the rails a bit but still pretty good light fare.

This weekend's binge - on HULU.
Not sure if I "liked" it, but I've grown to respect Steve Carell as an actor.
Link to videoVery, VERY, disturbing.

Just watched E1 of 3 Body Problem. So far so good.
Monsieur Spade very good too.
Clive Owen is great. I've enjoyed his work ever since "The Knick."
Aside:
Spade is at the doctor's.
Doctor: You have a the best prostate I've felt all morning.
Spade: Next time, take off your ring.
Doctor: Ring? That was my watch.
"You have to stop smoking or you'r going to get emphysema (puts up chest x-ray)."
Two things wrong with the x-ray (at least it's not backward like in the opening of "Scrubs"
One is easy, the other is a bit more obscure - perhaps @bachophile will see it.

Well, other than it being a woman without emphysema with a small hiatal hernia, I don’t see any pathology.

Exactly.
It’s the chest x-ray of a healthy woman.
Not that of Sam Spade.
