Outlander's back!

Berlin 1945 (Documentary Netflix)- Sobering considering current events.

​

The Last Kingdom Season 5 (2022 Netflix)- Final season, excellent historical drama based on a series of novels regarding 9th Century England featuring Uhtred of Beddanburg and the struggle between English Kings and Danish raiders/settlers.

Spoiler: Season 5

Uhtred of Bebbanburg vs bad Brida on a cult mission to save Danes in England from Christianity with the agenda of punishing Uhtred for betraying her.

Altered Carbon (2018-2020)- Netflix, this should be right up my alley, 5 episodes and nope… I like the lead, Joel Kinnaman, but don’t like characters, including his, atmosphere, the story, nor production values. A billionaire pulls a terrorist out of cold storage to discover who killed him, at least his current body… ?

I know there are those that disagree.

Season 1 of altered carbon was amazing! loved the story it was very very dark!

Was going to say the same thing. Season one is great, season two... not so much.

I finished Barry Season 1 (2018- HBO)- 👍 A former military, now hitman goes to L.A. for a job and stumbles into an acting class. This show has some comedic elements, it’s good and disturbing. I really dislike 30 min episodes, but for this one, I can look past it.

We started watching The Wilds on Prime, a charter jet headed for Hawaii with teenage girls headed to a exclusive summer program of somekind, the jet crashes, they end up floating in the ocean among debris near an island, most of them unharmed. What first struck me as a survival story, by the end of the first episode, becomes more of a Lost Scenario. Intriguing, but not sold on this yet. 85% @rt.

My friend, Season 2 gets better.

​

The Night Manager (2016, Prime) Originally broadcast as a miniseries, there is talk of a Season 2. Ex-military Johnathan Pine works as a night manager and gets drawn into an effort to take down an international arms dealer. It’s a slow burn, but tense from start to finish with an explosive ending, and beautiful scenery, most excellent. You get to see the other side of Loki (Tom Hiddleston). Hugh Laurie makes an excellent villain.

Bailed on this, it did not hold my interest.

Bosch: Legacy (2022 Prime/Freevu)- Season 1. If you like the Bosch series about the LA detective, this is more of the excellent same. Annoying that I only had 1 season, 10 episodes to watch. Seriously annoying that we ended up having to watch commercials with Freevee, I don’t know how this got on Prime, watched on Prime, but it says Freevee and there were commercials.

 

[Beerstalker]

I think you mean Freevee. It is Amazon's free, ad supported streaming. Content from it shows up in the Prime Video app, so you don't have to have two separate apps (Prime Video and Freevee).

Amazon Freevee - Wikipedia

I just checked and Bosch: Legacy is listed as a Freevee original.

Corrected in my post. I highly dislike commercials now…

My favorite DC television series just came back with a three episode season premier.

 

[Huntn]

Ted Lasso Season One- Excellent, even though as a character he seems too good to be true. On to Season 2!

​

Reacher (2022 Prime Video)- 👍Alan Ritchman is a better Jack Reacher. Only 8 episodes though. It’s renewed!

I watched this a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. Hopefully Season 2 drops around the same time in 2023. As a side note, I read the book that Season 1 was based on and it was one of the most horribly written books I've ever read. It was full of factual errors and it was written in short, choppy sentences many of which began with a verb....I'm befuddled as to how it was published (and apparently won some awards too. I know he's written many since then, but dear god I thought that first one was so completely awful (to me) it turned me off to the rest of them.

I do this frequently, my short term memory is bad these days.

Sandman (2022 Netflix)- I’m 2 episodes and in and although it is well made, I am not enamored with the characters or the story.

 

[rhett7660]

And no J Edger

No he comes in... for one episode if I remember correctly.


Just finished the remake of "The Stand". Actually liked it. They did cut out a few things, which I didn't bump up against, and the ending I thought was better!

Just started "Halo". Half way through it and so far I am liking it.

 

[Huntn]

Harry and Meghan (2022 docu-series)- Excellent and balanced. The topic is highly charged especially in certain tabloids, so mind your critiques here.
