Sullivan's Crossing on Netflix. Really well done series in my opinion, first 2 seasons really good in building story line and character definitions. I'm at the beginning of season 3 and hope it continues where the first 2 seasons left off. :coffee: Don...
Just a heads up...It gets kind of hot n heavy during season 3. 🙂
 

I just finished La Palma, a short (4-episode) Netflix series. I liked it. It started out as sort of a ho-hum typical environmental thriller, but Episodes 3 and 4, especially 4, were gripping. The CGI effects were great, I thought.
 
Currently on Season 4 of Fargo. Interesting show, reminds me of Pulp Fiction in style - definitely on the dark side.
IMO the first 3 seasons of Fargo were excellent. Season 4 slipped a little, and season 5 was pretty bad. Noah Hawley made the right decision not to continue. I guess he's moved on to horror with Alien: Earth.
 
Funny. Couldn't get into Gilded Age, seasons 1 and 2, so didn't watch, but am loving season 3. No desire to watch 1& 2 at all. HBO MAX
 
Just finished watching Fisk on Netflix and really enjoyed it. It’s witty and silly at the same time and just the break I needed from watching more serious dramas.
I’m a saver of things I like. This includes some tv shows. There’re only six episodes in season 3 so I am only watching one at a time, when I can sit down and really enjoy them. Sure hope they make more.
 
I just finished Katrina: Come Hell and High Water on Netflix. Wow. Episodes 1 and 2 blew me away (Episode 3, not so much). I'd forgotten just how horrific things got in New Orleans.

The irony re New Orleans is that the Hurricane winds themselves caused very little damage in N.O., and N.O. is too far from the Gulf to be flooded by it. If the city and the fed had used more of the money to build better levies,then Lake Pontchartrain would never have burst to flood the 9th Ward and other places.

There was far more actual hurricane damage and seawater flooding here on coastal Mississippi.

Yes; that was something new I learned: that most of the damage were caused by the broken levees, not the hurricane itself.

I hadn't realized coastal Mississippi had fared even worse, @ChiroDoc.
 
I'm streaming two documentaries on Peacock; Jose Feliciano and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I also just started watching the two series below. Some of my online friends are raving about Washington Black. For each of these series, so far I like the characters and/or actors and that's a plus. Have only seen one episode of each, so I'll reserve any further commentary for later.

Finished up the second "Wednesday" series the other night.This season was much darker than the first It decidedly veered into monster and terror story lines, with very little humor.

I prefer the classic tongue in cheek and gallows humor present in the first season.

It was reassuring that Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) demonstrated better acting chops, when during a segment she was transmuted into Enid (Emma Myers). She mimicked Enid's adorable behavior very well, and even did a little dance routine. Up to then I felt that Wednesday's character really didn't require much acting ability.

The ending was written to move into a third season, which has been green lit.
 
There seem to be a lot of Katrina docs now that we've reached the 20th anniversary. I just watched a 5-part on hulu. Things were even worse than I knew.
