Nobody has mentioned "The Last Dance" yet? 10 part series on Michael Jordan and the Bulls during their 6th NBA championship season in 1998. It jumps all around from Jordan's beginnings at North Carolina up to today. Great fvcking show. And I hated the Bulls.

Watched Waco on Netflix. Nowhere near as powerful as Chernobyl as a documentary but a good refresher class.

I tried to watch the third season of Westworld, and I realized I had no clue of what the HELL was going on.
So, I binged through season 2 this week.
Hopefully, it'll all make sense now.

Has anyone read any of the "Longmire" books? They get great reviews on Amazon.

I've read a few. They're fun mysteries and they have a fun, slow, dry pace to them.

Thanks, Aqua!
I loved the TV series. It's sort of what you describe, slow and dry, but ultimately ingratiating. You really get to love Walt (and Starbuck, of course).
I'll seek out the first one.

One of my favorites so far! Let me know what you think, the characters are a little different.

As I mentioned, The History Channel has a 3 part miniseries about US Grant. Each episode is about 90 minutes.
Overall, well done - I haven't watched the 3rd episode yet.
My criticisms are that they spent far too little time on Grant's life before the Civil War in the first episode. His relationships with his in-laws and parents are touched upon, but not enough. Also, his time at West Point and the time spent between his two military careers is given to little attention.
The second episode deals with his military campaigns in the Civil War up to 1864. Though interesting to see his strategies for taking Vicksburg, etc, perhaps a bit too much attention is devoted to those details at the expense of not having enough time to deal with his presidency. We shall see. I remember reading that Grant was considered, at the time, the second most popular president of all. That being because he brought the nation together. That reputation, of course, didn't last, so it'll be interesting to see how this series deals with it.
I think it's available on demand. Worth a watch.

I
wastedspent an hour this afternoon watching the first two episodes of Netflix's "Space Force." It's a "comedy" about the new commander of the newly-established "Space Force."It was mildly funny, in a "Avenue 5" kind of way. Steve Carrell, whom I like as an actor, tends to overdo it (is this what he did in "The Office?") and John Malkovich does his best John Malkovich impression.
It was poignant seeing Fred Willard as Carrell's dad.
But...two episodes are enough for me to decide not to explore it any more. Taking it off my "watch list."
