Stannis and that chick from Harry Potter were good as the leads. They should have called it The Chunnel though so I could say, "What is he doing in the chunnel?!" while watching.

Great show! ....except that it is clearly filmed in CA and they scoot back and forth between Lexington and Harlan County too quickly.... But great show! Season and a half left to go for me.

March 29, 20187 yr Not sure why I can't edit my post to type in my comments, so am adding them here. Wolf Hall is great. Superb performances and an opportunity to see the main character from The Crown as Anne Boleyn. Mark Rylance is fantastic.
March 29, 20187 yr I've enjoyed Man in the High Castle, Grand Prix Driver, and Grand Tour. Watched 5 episodes of Electric Dreams while traveling last month, but couldn't really get into it. There's always some decent old movies on there that I haven't seen in awhile that I'll watch. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is on there right now.
March 29, 20187 yr Also, old HBO shows are great. I have been known to rewatch episodes of Flight of the Conchords on occasion.
March 30, 20187 yr Anybody seen this? Just added to Prime Republic of Rick - Rick Launer, the Ambassador of the Republic of Texas club, spends his days at Alamo reenactments and haranguing US mailmen to get off Texas soil. But when he takes things too far, he’s jailed and kicked out of his beloved club. Out on bail and a warrant on his head, he manipulates a group of paranoid eccentrics to protect him from the hand of the “oppressive government.” Rick must confront what it takes to be a true leader, as a modern day Alamo unfolds on national television.
March 30, 20187 yr Justified is soooooo good.Boyd is a great character. Made the showSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 30, 20187 yr Fortitude. Two seasons, almost completely different shows. Both about "murder" in the most northern town on Earth. First one has Stanley Tucci as the sheriff, it's kind of quirky and dryly funny with tons of beautiful scenery shots. Second season stars Dennis Quaid and is more like a redux of The Thing. On a similar theme, Tin Star is OK - Tim Roth as a Scotland Yard detective who gets burnt out and moves his family to the Canadian Rockies to be a small town sheriff. (Predictably) things don't work out as he plans. If it's still on there, Mad Dogs is worth a watch too. Four midlife crisis guys go to visit their rich friend in Belize for a "guy's trip" and everything goes to shit. Checking out Britannia now - so far kinda dull.
March 30, 20187 yr Watched all the seasons of Inspector Lewis, who got his start as Inspector Morse's sergeant. Then I watched Endeavor about Morse's early career. Subscribed to Britbox so I can watch Inspector Morse. I hope it is as good as the others. I enjoy the British mysteries.
April 8, 20187 yr Finished We Shall Remain and I have yet to watch a PBS documentary series that wasn't a good watch.
April 9, 20187 yr Mrs Maisel has an amazing set of boobs. Worth watching the pilot just for thoseSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
April 9, 20187 yr Been binging The Expanse. Moves a little slow but worth watching. Good cast, gets a lot of the science and politics right. Gets better after Thomas Jane loses his hat.
April 9, 20187 yr Would recommend Electric Dreams if you're a fan of Black Mirror.I thought the episodes were a little hit or miss, but generally more good than bad.

I particularly liked the Amazon-esque episode, the one with Rogue, and the one with the psychics. I had no clue what was up with that episode with Steve Buscemi.

I just finished watching Bosch season 1 and eh. Man, now I'm on the fence. I wasn't planning on continuing it. And I liked Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton. FYI -> Amazon Prime has Logan Lucky streaming. That's a fun movie.

It departs almost completely from the noir style of S1 and gets much “brighter” (and much more action/shootouts).
April 13, 20187 yr Get your offseason football fix with All or Nothing with the Michigan Wolverines. Reiterates my feeling that Harbaugh isn’t a genius but a bad khakis wearing dork.

April 13, 20187 yr I'm hard to please apparently because I rarely finish these things (I only made it 5 episodes into Amazing Mrs. Maisel, I didn't dislike it, but...) but I loved Man in the High Castle. Only thing I've ever binge-watched. And I didn't even like the premise, alternate history does not really appeal to me. So it must be good. Also would really like another season of the Patriot. Only one season but I did binge through that also.

April 28, 20187 yr Watched Sir Doug and the Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove last night. Okay, but not enthralled. Too fast paced, clips were short and hurried. Seemed to have a lot of time spent on weak Vancouver and Scandinavian ventures. Didn't seem to mention the Turkey Day Jam, which I thought embodied the Austin years. Good stuff on Soap Creek and Texas Tornado periods.

May 2, 20187 yr Haven't read the two pages on my phone and for a military documentary I fully enjoyed the Apache warrior. Great insight into the experience of the 6-6 Apache flight group for desert storm.

May 21, 20187 yr Amy Sherman-Palladino got her wish. Amazon has renewed “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” for a third season. The creator-executive producer of “Mrs. Maisel” prodded Amazon executives about a pickup on Saturday night as she accepted a Peabody Award for her 1950s-set dramedy about an Upper West Side housewife who ventures into standup comedy after her picture-perfect marriage falls apart. “You’re going to give it to us because we’re bringing home the fancy thing, right?” Sherman-Palladino said of the Peabody win for the show’s freshman season. Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke, who attended the ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street, confirmed after the kudos concluded that “Mrs. Maisel” would indeed get a greenlight for a third season. “Mrs. Maisel” was initially ordered by the previous Amazon regime with a two season commitment spread across 18 episodes. Season 3 will likely get 10 installments. Season 1 of “Mrs. Maisel” bowed in late November. Season 2 is set to premiere later this year. “Mrs. Maisel” also bagged two Golden Globes in January for comedy series and lead comedy actress for star Rachel Brosnahan. With the Globes and Peabody win, the show is seen as a prime contender in the upcoming Emmy race. http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/marvelous-mrs-maisel-renewed-season-three-amy-sherman-palladino-1202817025/
