The Girlfriend. Scary stuff.

Fisk on Netflix, pretty funny.

I have to say, @JustDave and @JeeperDon, Law & Order SVU, now in its 20-plus season, is still very good. I watch it every night and am always moved and glad to watch it. The great Mariska Hargitay is much of the reason it's lasted well for so long.

I finished the first season of Dark Winds and began the second season, but bailed after a couple of episodes. Good stories, but too graphic and violent for me.

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

@StarSong, same thing happened to me with that show.

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

I just started Task, based on @ChiroDoc's recommendation. I love Mark R, but the pictures of the show looked too gritty for me. But it's really good--and Pelphry is amazing. So thanks for the tip.

Don't be a wuss, it's a great show!

I readily acknowledge being a wuss when it comes to violence.

You're welcomed, Marcy. I will say that the show is very dark...

Right now we are watching Billy the Kid on Prime. If you like Robert Duvall, watch Broken Trail.

I only watched the first episode so far, which wasn't too dark for me...we'll see.

Half way through The Girlfriend on Prime.

Heh, heh. IMO Task is pretty dark, and so far hasn't lightened up. I think they wrote Ruffalo's FBI team as comic relief, but it doesn't work. They just come off like young idiots. But the two stars and the writing keep it compelling.

I'd started watching One Day on Netflix a couple of months ago but lost interest. Picked it back up a few nights ago - skimmed through a few episodes to refresh my memory, and finished the series last night. Glad I did.

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

@ChiroDoc If it's too much for me, I'll stop watching. I'll let you know.

 

[CaliS]

Started Task, very promising.
Started Untamed, so far so good.

Black Rabbit (2025)

Have only watched the first 2 episodes of this Netflix 8 ep. series. I had high hopes for it given the heft of actors Jude Law and Jason Bateman. But so far it's heavy on the misery, making it unsettling-- Jake's (Jude Law) brother Vince (Jason Bateman) shows up at Jake's NYC restaurant to reconnect after having earlier left town owing a large chunk of change to the mob. But the guy is a total loser and a gambling addict. Law's character too is an impractical dreamer type who flirts with bankruptcy.

The story situation seems vaguely familiar, and the continual self destruction of the brother starts gnawing at the viewer much like fingernails on a blackboard. I don't know if that approach will let up.

And of course there's non stop gutter language (I guess because it's New York?) which strains credulity.

The wife likes the show more than I do, so we may watch another ep. or two. But I have the feeling that this production will have been a waste of acting talent.
