Have been enjoying Sisyphus: The Myth. Worth it if just for the frequent, perfect facial expressions of disdain by the female lead playing Gang Seo-hae. And after watching an episode of S2: The Mire the slightly goofy apocalyptic South Korean Sisyphus is an action-oriented palette cleanser.

Miss Linda and I are starting Season 4 of The Last Kingdom, the 9th-century epic about the war between Saxons and Danes in what would eventually be called "England." For some reason my 15-year-old DVD player keeps kicking the first disc back out without playing it -- though it plays other things without issue. We watched it on my Win 7 laptop.
Yesterday afternoon I took a YooToob flyer on an old half-hour Alfred Hitchcock Presents from 1960, "Escape to Sonoita." It features the young Burt Reynolds as half of a father-son truck driving concern, who while cooling off their truck in the AZ desert get involved with two criminals and the girl they've kidnapped. Murray Hamilton (the mayor in Jaws) and Harry Dean Stanton of Escape from New York play the criminals. Script by 1950s crime writer Bill S. Ballinger, and it holds your interest and conceals some surprises.

The Last Kingdom is good, I highly recommend you read the Saxon Stories series by Bernard Cornwell that it is based on.
Finished Yellowstone season 3. Really enjoy it although it’s one of those “yeah right, never happen in real life” dramas. Entertaining, cowboyish, and just good writing.
I've taken the first in the series from the library! The local suburban library is good -- they have nearly all of Cornwell's Sharpe series and the Kingdoms, plus some other books he's written, all in uniform recent editions.
Love that show. Season 4 is coming up.
I just finished Breaking Bad again. I'm about to start Darklands and Pagan Peak.
Maybe I'll start it tonight. There are only 8 episodes so I'll get through that in a single sitting lol. The reviews are a lot better than for Darklands.
Just finished Lupin, Part II. It is an okay entertainment. The characters are appealing and the plot kind of fun. Kind of neither fish nor fowl as to whether it is a drama or a comedy.
New episode Superman and Lois on HBO GO
I was just going to say this. I'm a huge Cornwell fan after discovering his Sharpe series about 15 or so years back. For me he was the gateway to C.S. Forester's Hornblower books, Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series, and George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman books....
Just started the latest season of Unforgotten. Also watched the first episode of White Lotus on HBO.
Am almost finished with the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit and have really enjoyed it.
My wife and I just recently watched the entire series for the first time. Loved it.
Agree about Cumberbatch, and Andrew Scott darn near steals the show. Brilliant casting all the way around.
I couldn't agree more. Excellent casting, and fantastic work by the actors. Andrew Scott really brought a maniacal megalomaniac creepiness to the Moriarty character.
Scott is amazingly well cast.
I also really like Martin Freeman’s Watson as well. I love socially awkward characters that can kick ***. Bonus for being sniper level with a gun.
I'm currently re-watching 1225 episodes of the original Dark Shadows. Do you remember the vampire Barnabas Collins from Collinsport. ME? You can find Dark Shadows streaming for free on TUBITV.com
