Watched Episode 1 of the new season of "Ozark" last night.

 

Enjoyed it and look forward to the new season, but I didn't realize how much I had forgotten about all the little details going on in the show.  Took us the full hour to remember everything that was happening.

Finished the Ozark episodes last night.

 

 

 

I have to say, the show has completely jumped the shark for me.  The actions of people and authorities is way off the reservation, ludicrous, and any sort of immersion is lost.  

 

Ill watch the last 7 episodes to see how it wraps up, but this first 7 episodes were absurd.

Ha agreed

 

Part of the awesomeness of the show is how leveraged the Byrds were on all fronts, and were relatively helpless... but managed to keep all the plates spinning in the air.

 

 

But now we are at the point where leaders of the FBI bend to Wendy Byrd's will because she makes a mean face at them.

Murderville on Netflix, came out last Thursday.  Will Arnett is a grizzled detective and each episode has a guest actor.  But the twist, the guest does not have a script and must improvise their lines, and figure out who was the murderer at the end of the episode.

We watched the first two episodes of "Reacher" on Amazon Prime. I never read the books and never saw the movie with Tom Cruise, so I had no preconceived notions going in. It seems pretty good so far. Reacher is a retired military officer who travels around the country as sort of a vigilante. If you remember "Kung Fu" with David Carradine, it's similar.

 

We've also been watching "1883" on Paramount+. If you like westerns, you'll like this.

We watched the first 2 episodes last night. Overall, thought it was pretty good. There were some real LOL moments.

I had no idea.  Did you guys know this?

 

"In 2010, Netflix acquired the rights to Breaking Bad, produced by Sony Pictures Television, after the show's third season, at a point where original broadcaster AMC had expressed the possibility of cancelling the show. Sony pushed Netflix to release Breaking Bad in time for the fourth season, which as a result, greatly expanded the show's audience on AMC due to new viewers binging on the Netflix past episodes, and doubling the viewership by the time of the fifth season. Breaking Bad is considered the first such show to have this "Netflix effect".

I like the genre a lot, but find most offerings in this category are not well done.

Big Isaac Asimov fan; as a kid I sent a letter to him about a correction and he said yes I was correct and it was an editing mistake and he already contacted publisher to correct it on next edition.

 

Foundation and its sequels are extremely complicated books and hard to translate to media.

 

Finally got around to watching the first season of Foundation.

 

It starts out as a pretty good sci-fi show. Very heady high concept stuff with a focus on character development and world building. Eventually it kind of struggles with staying in that lane and tries to into more main stream storytelling which I assume is to attempt to appeal to a broader audience. Overall I mostly enjoyed it though and it was renewed for a second season.

 

I have no experience with the source material so I have no idea how faithful it is but based on what I've heard about the books I am going to guess it diverges quite a bit.
