Pious? LOL. I think a lot of LA and this country could use a bit of that. And he was coming out of rehab and drug problems when the show started so not like he's pure. With more than one ex wife too.

It's fiction.

However, I get if maybe you saw something else on it where it might not hit you right. I didn't though. I'm liking it very much.

Heh, heh. I said "almost pious". Characters affect different folks in different ways. The series was written by David E. Kelly, based upon the novels by Michael Connelly. The Mickey Haller character was different from the books and movie-- I think to appeal to women, which it obviously does. Ditto Haller's pushy legal aide, played by Becky Newton.

It's a very watchable series, but to my taste it's lost some of its punch. Will I watch a new season? Sure, but it's always going to be inferior to the good novels.

The books were superior to the series. Because I loved the books, I watch the series though I consider it fluffy. Lorna is ditzy.

I can understand that and I've felt that way about many a thing in the past. I'm seeing it though without having seen the movie or read the books. So I don't compare it or feel it lost anything as nothing was there prior for me as to characters or how well they are doing it. I just find it very entertaining.

However, I've watched many series that lose it as they go on and I'm not that far into it yet. Just starting season two out of four out so far. It has twists and turns and I like that in anything, and keeps a person guessing. I'm not into him in any crush way lol as to me being a female. I actually like his driver the most lol and who can't fall for the soon (at this point) to be motorcycle riding hub of his ex who also are both working for him...
I follow a lot of true stuff during the day and late night I like some fictional lighter entertaining stuff. And it's filling that for me at the moment.

I can understand however if one has read a book it doesn't match, or seen a movie it took off from that now had different characters, how one might not like something. I've had a lot of that in the past myself. In this case though, I'm not coming at it that way or disappointed because it's not as good as the books, etc. as I never saw any of them. To me, it's just something on its own and new to me. And I'm not looking for anything real deep, just entertaining. I follow deep during the day lol.

Lol. I only know Lorna from the series. Maybe I'll read the books after. I only know it as a series, never saw or read anything about it prior.

It probably goes over better with me as I've nothing prior I'm comparing it to. They are all new characters to me and it's a new series to me.

I have been disappointed in years past when even a movie doesn't match up in details, etc. to what a book was. So I get it if that's the case.

I think I found it, thanks! If it's the right one, it's called Tribal Police Files. We also watched a good one about a tribal police (Navajo, I think) training academy in Arizona (I think); it was good too, but I don't remember the title of it either, lol.

I found the training one! It's called Navajo Police: Class 57. It's a mini-series, very good.

I have seen that one, however thge one I'm watching is from Canada....TRIBAL POLICE FILES.....
 
I'm very looking forward to season 3 of 'Lidia Poet' on Netflix next week (6eps/season). It's a historical story about the first female lawyer in Italy. It's adequately dubbed in English. One of the high points is the costumes, absolutely amazing! If it sounds interesting to you, check out seasons 1 and 2 there now.

Well, phooey, xFinity wants to charge me $3.99 for each episode of this series. So now I have to make up my mind if I want to pay or not.
 
Watching 'NOS4A2' on Netflix. Very enjoyable. A spin on the Dracula theme that strangely involves protecting kids and turning them into vampires who live in a place called Christmasland. Starting the second season tonight.
 
No. My son signed me on his Netflix. Had them six months. So I got home to being ousted. Was on my phone. They threatened me. Didn’t see me on son’s plan.

When I got back my tv picked up. N. F. Which triggered something

NF has cracked down on people sharing their account with others, even family. You have to live at the main residence for X amount of time regularly. That means students are still eligible.

I really like NF and think I would have it if there was a choice of just cable or it.
 
Watched "Sitting Bull" last night on Netflix. I did not want to stop watching it.
My Property Manager is 6 generations down from the Indian Agent at the end of it
and if she sees this, she may not be so thrilled to brag about it anymore :eek:
I loved it, gets deep into the tribal and life beliefs. Well documented.

Started Your Friends & Neighbors (2026) , season 2 last night.
It's on Netflix, and after the first 2 eps it shows single eps weekly on Monday nights.

If you liked season 1, it's more of the same with a few new wrinkles in a supporting role for James Marsden as a very rich nutty tycoon type.

Jon Hamm continues good work. So far, to my taste, there's too much attention to conflict between several of the characters. And at this point, showing every female character as an "empowered woman" is getting a little trite.

Still, it's a good production, so here's hoping it'll be interesting the rest of the way. There will be 10 episodes, and it's already renewed for a 3rd season.
 
I suspended my Netflix account last month and am not sure when I will renew it. Most of the good stuff on it I have already seen. There is precious little else that is worth the monthly cost.

I currently have at least 24 hours of FAST material on my DVR that I have recorded from OTA broadcasts. FAST is Free Ad Supported TV.

Since Netflix added commercials, it hasn’t been as good.

Other streaming services are in the same boat as Netflix, IMO.
