Didn't see mention of this anywhere else but probably interesting to vinyl fans due to the hundreds if not thousands of Blue Note, Prestiges and Impulses first pressing........

My wife and I enjoyed the beginning but felt it got too disjointed by the end.

We're trusting the writer(s) to pull it together by the end of the season (6 episodes). We'll see.

Last week's Columbo, no I mean "Elsbeth" -- looking forward to this week when her guest 'villiain" will be her real life husband.

"Black Doves" for me and my wife too.  Just finished up the fourth episode last night.

Last night, we watched the Monkees Christmas episode, in which Butch Patrick (The Munsters) plays a young wealthy Scrooge.  The episode ends with this:

The Insects' Christmas from 1913: A Stop Motion Film Starring a Cast of Dead Bugs

Late as ever but very much enjoying 'Queen's Gambit'. And previously 'The Diplomat'.

Neither fill the void left by the ending of 'The Mirror and The Light' but I'm not sure anything is going to. That was superlative television.

Same here. I'm tempted to watch but so many of Marquez's images are the product of my imagination I'm not sure I want to see someone else's interpretation.

Having said that, just upthread I rave about the TV adaptation of the Mantel books that are also amongst my all time favourites

Have only watched the first episode. Would never have worked as a single movie. As a series has the potential to be excellent. Plan to continue forward with further episodes. IMHO you should give it a chance.
