Another endorsement for Ray Donovan.  Just finished the first season, and it has been a very good show.  Love Jon Voight’s character.

There is this show called Forensic Files.  It’s cleverly done and there are lots of different actors and actresses.  It’s supposed to be a mystery show but it always ends up being the spouse that did it.  Weird show.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but finally watched the Bee Gee's doc on HBO Max.  It was awesome.  I never realized how big they were even having grown up in that era.  Cool insights into what made the sounds and the songs

Yeah that doc was awesome!! HBO just knocks it out of the park with these and this one especially.

The Good Lord Bird on Showtime and Hulu is pretty good so far.  About 6 episodes in.  Ethan Hawke is pretty freakin awesome as John Brown.  Kinda has a Tarantino type vibe to it.  Check it out.

I'm right there with ya.  Very good show and the best of the series thus far, IMO.  Nice to see a HC who isn't a complete lunatic.  More focus on the players and their stories.

So far, my favorite show the year. Hope Hawke wins awards, he’s amazing as Brown. Other characters also jump off the screen. Finally Frederick Douglass on screen as a three dimensional person, as he was, not just a wooden hairdo. Douglass needs his own miniseries, his story almost unbelievable. At one time he was one of the most famous people in the world.

Did a search, didn’t  see this mentioned here.

 

“Glitch” on Netflix.  A few years old.  3 seasons, six 1 hour episodes per season so easy to binge.

 

Weird, but good and worth the watch.  Just finishing the last two episodes.

I have Paramount Plus. What are those shows abou? True crime?

 

I'm watching The Stand on Paramount Plus and I'm on episode 5. I really don't understand why people don't like this show. I think it's excellent.

Biggie I’ve got a story to tell was a good time for the 30-45 yo crowd that loved that era.

Loved it.  Wu-Tang documentary “Of Mics and Men” on Hulu is also very good.

If you enjoy the bball season you will likely despise some of the football ones. Jason brown was awful. Bad coach. Bad human.

Yeah, those football ones...especially the Jason Brown season...were painful to watch.  Still entertaining though 🤣

The Irregulars I thought was very good.

 

Age of Samurai,  Battle for Japan was the best documentary I have seen about the samurai. I love old recreations of the history of Japan with people raised to only know war for over 100 years. Amazing visual story and great narrative.

Anyone watching Invincible on Amazon?

 

3 episodes released and I'm liking it so far. Based on a comic book, it's definitely more of a The Boys "real life" take on being a super hero. Great voice cast too.

I guess that's a no?

 

Too bad, I highly recommend.

We just binged season 1 of "Why Women Kill" on Paramount+. It's three separate stories set in different eras, all taking place in the same house. Looking forward to season 2.
