Caught the first two of this while waiting for the Comcast repair guy...
Link to videoGetting great reviews. So far, I'm at about 3 stars (out of 5). Stretches credulity a bit too much (one of the reasons I didn't love "Lioness").

Just wasted two hours of my life watching Blitz. I watched it largely for the subject matter and that Steve McQueen seems to be a hot new director. No real arc, no character development, minimal dialogue. Blech.

I was going to look at it. Thanks for the heads up.
By the way, I read, somewhere, that The Day of The Jackal is coming to broadcast TV at the end of this month.

Jackal was great.
Odessa file was ok, but not great. -
Lots of spoilers:
Why did The Day of the Jackal end differently from the book?

Plowing through "The Old Man" season two.
I didn't realize that Joel Grey was in it - he's 92 years old.

We are enjoying Silo. Good production values and so far, an engaging storyline.

Link to videoIn anticipation of season 2, i binged (again) season 1. Much better on the 2nd watch. Having read the books, I'm REALLY looking forward to a binge of season two. Gonna hold off until all episodes are available.
It's neat when "sci-fi" doesn't involve spaceships, etc.
Side note: In one of the episodes (#4?), one of the police yell to a citizen by name: "Howey."
The Silo books were written by Hugh Howey.
Read the books - they're great.

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

A really good British crime drama covering solving cold cases. The stories are pretty harrowing, but the whole thing is well acted, with plenty of well known and high quality character actors taking part.
I was only joking

@Doctor-Phibes yes!
I'd forgotten (heh) this series. Very well done. Understated, quiet and respectful.

I'm hesitant to go down the Yellowstone universe rabbit hole. I think I might watch 1883 and 1923, but will probably stop after that. My brother in Dallas ran across a TV show being filmed, I think called "Madison", another spin off.
@Mik I liked Yellowstone, agree with your feeling. Just this morning I was thinking that the main thing I'll miss from the show are the cowboy/scenery moments with montage music. To me, at least, it was really peaceful and enjoyable to watch. The story itself was fun, with some specific episodes that were amazing, but the cowboy scenery is what will last with me.

Quit working. You'll be amazed how much time you have. For a while, anyway. Then everything you do regularly will take three times as long.
Coffee and morning reading, puzzles, etc. is three hours. I used to go to the gym, get a workout in in 30 minutes. Now it's 90 to 120 minutes, but I do a LOT more exercises.
