I have just finished watching The Better Sister. It was very good the ending was very satisfying.

Today i thought i'd watch the first episode of the Burroughs on Netflix ended up watching 5, will watch the other 3 tomorrow. Kinda Sci-Fi/Horror. Produced by the Duffer Brothers who gave us Stranger Things. Should've known they'd hook me! This time the main characters are seniors. There is a plot device in common--just as many people make assumptions about kids imaginations people often make assumptions about the cognitive functioning of seniors. Also both groups often aren't really listened to by the between generations which can be annoying but also can lead lead to either group putting something over or getting the upper hand in some way because their smarts and abilities were underestimated.

Just finished The Burroughs. It's a bizarre one, but entertaining and pulls you in. No regrets.

Yesterday we started watching Yellowstone again. Watched it up to 10 pm and went to bed. Lousy weather this weekend so we will watch some more later.

For anyone who has an Amazon Prime subscription, a series entitled Imperfect Women has been released and it stars two powerhouse actresses... Kerry Washington and Elisabeth Moss. Kate Mara is no slouch either. It is a thriller/drama that chronicles three long-time friends and starts with one of them being murdered.

Basically everyone in the series is "imperfect" as friends, husbands and kids are all damaged. It has lots of great twists and turns. We've seen 7 episodes, and the finale airs on Wednesday. If you enjoyed Big Little Lies, to me this is similar and recommended.

Have that on my list,, but am way behind watching things.

We finished our last series so we searched Netflix again. A new thriller set in Spain came up. It is based on a book called "The Snow Girl" and involves a 5 year-old girl who is abducted at a Christmas festival in Malaga. Of course, it has the usual cast of characters... a "seasoned" journalist with his new, young female apprentice and a hardened female detective with her young male sidekick. We're into the second episode and have enjoyed it. We love shows set in other countries. BTW, this one is now dubbed in English.

A second season has already dropped, so the first season clearly had an audience.

Will have to check that out, i've watched a some Spanish mystery movies and enjoyed them. I watched a lot of foreign movies as a teen and in my early twenties living where there were theaters that were dedicated to them and Independent American films.

on hbo max i've been binge watching eye of the storm, death by fame, hollywood demons and one other one about boy bands.

I started watching Broadchurch (Netflix) last night. Realized pretty quickly that I'd seen it before, but it's so well done that I'm going to rewatch it.

I've watched all the Death by Fame episodes on ID. They were good. I watched the first Hollywood Demons about Stephen Collins and couldn't believe it! Still have a bunch more to watch.

I've been watching Vietnam in HD on PrimeVideo. It really provides a sense of the brutality of the war -- especially since with Vietnam, the objective wasn't to take over land; it was to kill so many Vietnamese that they'd give up communism. It's truly sickening what we did.

 

[RambleTamble]

I finished the Vietnam in HD last night. That was an excellent series. They also made a "WWII in HD" that's also available on PrimeVideo. My wife said she's interested in that, so we'll watch it together, I guess after we finish the Ken Burn's documentary on the American Revolution.

I watched Legends on Netflix recently it was excellent too

We are 5/6 of the way through it. It is very good, because it is gritty and realistic. Relies on character and suspense rather than shootouts.

I just started watching The Burroughs night before last and am on Ep 4 now. That's binge watching for me, because sometimes I don't get back to a show's episode for a couple of days. I'm really liking it and found out "T", my Li'l Sis (you know who I'm talking about) loves it too. She said she had posted about it on FB, but I didn't see that post. She finished it and said it was renewed for a second season (Yay).

The Duffer Brothers have done it again! One of the things that grabbed me is what you mentioned (bolded) and that they were assumed to be senile or insane and needing to check into The Manor. Or perhaps that is gaslighting by the administrators to cover up for the creature. If that's the case...why?

I also started watching War Of The Worlds (the series) MGM+. Some of the dialog is in French, some in English. But the subtitles translate. It is a U.K.-French production starring Gabriel Byrne and Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey). The aliens descend en masse and destroy much of civilization, leaving dead bodies in the streets, in cars along evacuation routes and baffling those left as to why the aliens wanted to destroy our world. They also cut off all communications and means of transportation. War of the Worlds certainly has been over done (there's another series and two movie remakes) but this one is good enough to keep me engaged.
