1883 (Paramount+) was SO good. I adore Sam Elliott, and Tim McGraw did a great job. I had only two minor gripes: they were a bit heavy handed with Elsa's narration, and everyone's teeth were just too pretty and white for that time period.  The last episode was kind of brutal, though. I may have paused it to go grab a few tissues...  I think I read that there isn't going to be another season??? Kind of. They're going to jump to 1932...can't wait to see it. |

Over the last two weeks of February, I panic-watched all of Jessica Jones, Daredevil and The Punisher and then The Defenders because Netflix had announced the Marvel series were all leaving at the end of the month. Even though I'd heard that they would all likely end up at Disney+, I wasn't confident they would be unedited for content. I mean, those shows are pretty violent and there's a fair amount of sex and profanity too.I didn't want to watch watered down versions of the shows I love. Then it turns out that, not only are they going to be on Disney+ starting on Wednesday AND they'll be part of new more adult content. Yay!
I don't love Iron Fist and I recently watched Luke Cage again, but I'll probably end up doing a re-watch of all the series in order one of these days. I still have hope that more of at least Daredevil and Jessica Jones will happen.
I've watched about a season and a half of Doc Martin and I'm conflicted about watching more. I sort of enjoy it, but I find him a bit unlikable AND I find his romantic lead pretty unlikable too. His hatred of dogs really bothers me. I started season 1 of Blood and just didn't get into it. I'm now watching season 1 of Line of Duty, which starred the great Lennie James. I think I'll end up finishing the series.

Watching this season of Aggresuko and was amazed at how dark this little anime has gotten. This season deals with "window seating" employees (where basically in Japan they put long term, high ranking employees in a room by themselves all day doing nothing in the hopes that they will retire), forced early retirement, and how some CEOs value dollars over people.

I just started Why Didn't They Ask Evans? on Britbox. It stars a shockingly dreamy Will Poulter (THAT'S a glow-up if I ever saw it!) and a host of wonderful British actors, and was directed by Hugh Laurie. Based on the Agatha Christie novel of the same name. Really well done. Beautifully costumed, good acting, it's just a gorgeous show. It's one of those shows where the location is so lovely that you wonder where it was filmed and fantasize about moving there. I've only watched episode one, so I have two more to enjoy tomorrow!

Watched the first episode of DEVS on FX-Hulu and went...HUH? So many questions - guess I'll have to continue. As has probably been written, it drops new episodes on Thursdays so I have one more to watch before waiting on Thursday. How was this series ? |

Sorry, it just got weirder in a confusing way and I didn't finish. The world building they did was so not my thing.

I am on the fence about this one. I did not hate it but it can be tiresome at times. More drama than comedy IMO. There are some likeable characters and good actors. |

Since House of the Dragon premieres in less than 3 weeks, I'm re-watching Game of Thrones. I'm early in season 2 and remembering how very long the next two seasons felt watching Joffrey be, well.....Joffrey.

I've been re-watching Game of Thrones also - the end of season 6 is just SO good. Battle of the Bastards, Ramsay and Frey getting what they deserve...good stuff.
Also almost finished with this season of Evil, which has been one of the best, I think.

Also almost finished with this season of Evil, which has been one of the best, I think. I finished my GOT re-watch on Monday. I blew through the whole 8 seasons in less than a week!  It's addictive and I hadn't watched some of the episodes in a few years.
BotB was definitely a series highlight. Ramsay and Frey getting their comeuppance was SO good, especially because of who did it.
While I still don't love the last few episodes of the series, the cinematography was fabulous. There were some shots in both "The Bells" and "The Iron Throne" were stunning. It wasn't just that shot of Dany walking forward with Drogon's wings behind her in the finale. There was a shot of Arya in the finale, standing in the wreckage, framed by a street/alley that was amazing. There were so many shots like that. For me, the emotional high of the series was s.8 ep.2 and ep.3.
Now I've taken a serious 180 and am watching Indian Matchmaking on Netflix. So fluffy and silly.

Mr Mercedes
I thought it was a movie, but oh no, it's episodes, and it has more than one season.
We're enjoying it.

UnCoupled - OMGoodness! I just discovered UnCoupled (on Netflix) with Neil Patrick Harris, and I'm enjoying it soooo much! I've never been a huge NPH fan, but I'm loving this older, more vulnerable side of him. And wow! Manhattan looks so fabulous! It reminds me so much of the NYC scenes in Sex and the City, in the BEST way! Loving the show!

It is OTT but it is fun. |

I am breaking my own rule about no subtitled shows.. I just can't pay enough attention to the show and read at the same time.. but I am a wee bit obsessed with HBO's Miss S. It takes place in Shanghai and follows a female PI solving mysteries with the local police. It is campy and over the top in some of their acting direction but it is cute and I love the main cast. They all have such great interaction and chemistry. It is based on the books (and Aussie series) Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Their costumes are amazing too! I love this era, so much glamour  |

I do like foreign films and tv programs in other languages, and programs where people speak with foreign accents (which I can't always understand), and also, I guess I'm getting old, or maybe people are mumbling too much these days, or who-knows-what --- but I notice there's so much of the spoken words on tv that I just don't get  -- so that I love having the text written in English at the bottom of the screen. So nowadays, I just keep it on all the time. Yeah, it gets in the way occasionally, but that's ok, I like the convenience of being able to read what the people are saying. PS I have to check out Miss S. That's exactly the kind of show I love! Thanks FireWoman! |

I've been watching Blood and Water, a Canadian crime/detective show. Simu Liu mentioned it in an interview, so I decided to check it out. It's on Plex, which is another free free streaming channel. I watched the first season and am taking a break. It's got a lot of subtitles - a number of the main characters are Chinese - and I can't give full attention to the TV right now. Simu plays a very different character from what I'd seen him in before this. You definitely would not look at his guy and think, "Now THAT is a Marvel superhero!"

I just finished Animal Kingdom last night! I still don't have the right words for that finale. Lots of gasps and tears. I'm gutted its over but I am just so sad with how it played out. Its been obvious since season 1 that Jay was always going to seek revenge. This was always going to happen but wow it was 100x more brutal than I ever would have imagined. Gem of the season: Scott Speedman returning as Baz!  |
