Hijack - Idris Elba - Apple+

Lincoln Lawyer - season 2

Just watched Tar. Blanchett is a preeminent actress of our time. The story is remarkable. I was very moved.  

The PC world of academia and institutionalized performing arts education system collides with the Artist; it's mediocrity vs. genius, with all the accompanying psychoses. Brilliant film.

The Crowded Room - Apple+

Gravity Falls. I know it's a kids show, but it's great.

Tour de France, absolutely enthralling this year. Yesterday and todays stages full of drama.

Tried watching Citadel but we got stuck about half way through episode 3 and haven't really gone back. Should probably try to push through.

Surprisingly enjoyed Daisy Jones & the Six on Amazon.

Lately, my wife & I have tried to find a half-hour sit-com to fill up those "do we stay up or hit the hay" times and we started watching the ancient repeats of Caroline in the City on Paramount+. We're finding it very funny and far enough back in our memories that it's somewhat new again. Although I seem to remember it went dramatically downhill after season 1.

My wife discovered "Ridley" and "Celebrity Antiques Road Show" and we've been watching a lot of the latter and what we can of the former.

Daisy Jones & The Six is a pretty good book.

The Criterion Channel is showing at no cost Jon Else’s 1981 documentary, The Day After Trinity, about Oppenheimer. Highly recommended.

You can also find it on YouTube.

I re-watched the movie "Nobody" again last night. I know it's just another bloody gore-fest a la John Wick, but I enjoy this movie so much more than those Wick movies, mainly because his everyday life is so like my own at times. Alarm, breakfast, bring out the trash, get the kids off to school, commute, work, commute, dinner, bedtime - over & over ad nauseam until...

Justified - new season, first 2 episodes

Season 2 of Dark Winds starts today on AMC.

Revisiting the first season for the first time.

Yes, there are a few little flaws (unrealistic events),

... but overall this is so entertaining and well-crafted ! The acting is also very realistic most of the time.

I've seen the series a few times. If I had my druthers it would have been great if it had ended at the end of Season 4, and the final season didn't happen. I enjoyed that season least.

Excellent doc. I used to show it in my college classes years ago.

Didn't like the the second and third season ether. It's probably season one and four that stand the test of time best.

[jazzbo]

For me 2 and 3 were great. It's just 5 that was so. . . forced .

[Referentzhunter]

season one

[JSngry]

Didn't realize until very recently that there were Seasons 3 & 4 of Mr. Robot. For some reason back then, I thought it had stopped after 2. 

Spent the last few stays starting over (memory was a bit cloudy) and this time following through, to be finished in full tomorrow.

It's being fun!
