Death in Paradise, or maybe it should be called Death from watching Death in Paradise. Wife and I watched the 1st episode of Season 9 of Death in Paradise yesterday. The Brits must be taking lessons from American TV on how to ruin a good show. They replaced the first 2 good DI's with an annoying one in season 7. They replaced the first 2 good female Sargent's with a boring one. They could have used a cardboard cutout for this one. They replaced Fidel with Wimpy. And finally, they replaced the always-entertaining Dwayne with the most annoying person on the planet. My wife's kept up with it, but I haven't watched since the first couple of episodes of Season 7. Less than halfway into the first episode of Season 9, I was hoping the killer, Le Diable, would murder all 4 of the main characters.

Kung Fu with David Carradine
Raising Dion on Netflix.
Single mom has a kid that develops super powers. It’s weird but the mom is hot. Nice middle of the road deal, could watch it with family.

Season 2 of Dead To Me. I'm 3 episodes in and it's still very good.
I finished season 4 of Workin' Moms. I think Catherine Reitman is pretty funny. I like her character.

FIGHTER!
Keep coming back to this: Chef’s Table on Netflix. Outstanding storytelling in some of these episodes.
I finished Better Call Saul seasons 1 through 5 last night and I was wrong. There isnt a boring or frivolous scene in the entire series. Watching it one episode a week, I remember thinking that some parts with his brother Chuck wernt really needed but they are.
Its a very clever and stylish show. I also think its a bit better overall than Breaking Bad while being lighter and less disturbing.
The sixth season is, apparently, the last but I dont see how they'll tie it all together in a single season from where it left off in season 5.

The Last Kingdom
Now that I've had a chance to binge the first three seasons of Vikings, I have completely lost interest in this one. I think Vikings is just so much better, and I LOVED the first two seasons of Last Kingdom.
I’ve read all the books except I must have missed the current season. I will be glad when it is finally finished. I’m a huge “Vikings” fan as well. “Outlander” has faded as well. Don’t know if I’ll finish the last season. I am finding the very best series on MHZ.
Anyone else here watching the MHz network? It is all continental EU programming and beautifully subtitled. The programs - mostly TV series - are excellent. It is well worth the few bucks a month subscription. Excellent mystery and crime stuff.
Just finished watching Bancroft Season 1 that we recorded 2 years ago. Another good British Police drama series.
I just finished Chernobyl and it was excellent! Scary and sobering stuff.
Heroes and Icons Channel is running the '02-'07 USA series The Dead Zone, based on the famous Stephen King novel (and '80s movie with Christopher Walken). The story picks up with Johnny Smith having his auto accident and waking up several years later from a coma with a psychic ability to "see" glimpses of the future (and sometimes the past) by touching people or objects. Then the producers move on to give him a variety of new adventures, not just solving serial killings, etc. There's humor, suspense, and good drama. I wonder if King has ever seen this series, and what he thinks.
If you only know Anthony Michael Hall from his nerd days in Pretty in Pink and similar fluff, you will be amazed at what a solid mature actor he became as Johnny Smith.

Oh, and I try never to miss H & I's morning broadcast of Have Gun -- Will Travel with Richard Boone as Paladin, a gentlemanly gunfighter * for hire. In its day the show was the gold standard (along with The Rifleman) of half-hour TV Westerns, I've read, and now I see why. The scripts are literate and fast-moving, and Boone's performance ranges from charming to amused to exasperated to "I make a very reluctant victim." When he's facing another gun and goes into his gunfighter crouch to present a smaller target, you know somebody is going to get dead, and it won't be him.
* True, his title is "gunfighter." But he often has to play bodyguard, detective, and many other roles. In an episode this morning, Werner Klemperer as a German restaurant owner hires him to escort and protect a sheet of plate glass for his restaurant. In one of my favorite stories, he is hired to ransom, not a kidnapped child or wife . . . but a stolen piano. And a great later script has Paladin hired by what we would call today a forensic anthropologist -- to bring the scientist together with the last of the ferocious gunmen, so that the scientist can measure the gunman's skull for his research.

Finally saw the finale of Homeland. I thought that they ended it very well, I liked how they left it. It affirmed everything the series had established over 8 seasons.
I have just now seen episode one of season 1. Excellent!!
Well into the second season of Dead to Me. Seems great. Christina Applegate is lovely and a skilled comedian, as is Linda Cardenelli.
