Nice. Very nice.
Is your piano in a different room? I don't recognize the curtains.

Those are the same curtains that have hung on that window since long before we even moved in here 27 years ago. My best guess is 70s or 80s vintage.

Landman is pretty good.
Started it today.
Very, very, Taylor Sheridan - that's not a bad thing.
Not quite as soapy as Yellowstone, but there's definitely some soap in there.
If for no other reason than Jon Hamm...there's Billy Bob Thornton who is just fantastic. Probably as good as he was in Goliath.
Also more T & A than Yellowstone, so that might be a good thing.
Just a couple of episodes in, but very binge-worthy.

Cunk on Life - The movie that follows the series on Netflix.
If you liked the series, this is more of the same.
It is stupid, but it is funny.

Cool, I plan to watch that eventually.
Right now I'm watching two shows that were very popular a couple years ago but I never watched them at the time (very normal for me... LOL). I'll mention the show titles when I'm done with the first seasons, since I'm highly sensitive to spoilers, even accidental hints.

The old folks home thing in Landman is brilliant. Hilarious.

It caused a smile. Gotta wonder what the point was, other than to fill some air time to stretch the episode to 50 minutes.
Also, a bit TOO much T & A.

Watched another couple "Sandbaggers" yesterday. Really really good. Each episode stands alone, dialog is thick, plots are frequently convoluted, but it moves along very well.
The chief of intelligence services (appropriately named "C") tells one of the operatives to bug out if things don't look right, "There is no James Bond in our business."
If you like LeCarre (@bachophile I'm looking at you), check this out. Very few shows get an 8.0 on IMDB - this is one of them.

First season was a "meh" for me. I'll probably watch the second, but it's low in the queue.
By the way, Gladiator II is free on Paramount + now.
From what I've read, Paramount would have to pay me to watch it.

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

Just wondering if Mrs. Phibes has watched any K Dramas recently and her thoughts?

We both watched Alchemy of Souls and Bad and Crazy - I got dragged in rather against my will but actually really enjoyed both of them. She seems to have backed off a little recently.

I have recently been watching Blacklist, which is a US show from a few years ago. Interesting show, with good acting. Have to "suspend belief" sometimes, but so far (midway through Season 2), it is entertaining.

Watching Glad II while I pedal. Nothing new. Evil emperors bad, noble warriors good. Women duplicitous.

I watched In the Land of Saints and Sinners last night. I thought it might be just another late period Liam Neeson vehicle where he's the old bad-ass, and there is some of that, but it's more serious. It's set in 70's Ireland during the IRA wars. The script is good, and the actors are excellent.

Finished Glad II last night. It got worse with the tenuous ties to Glad I. Ugh.
