jazzbo Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 American Gods, Season 1. Though I'm not crazy about this show, I really enjoy the direction, cinematography and the music (as much as I did "Hannibal." Longmire, Season 5. Another excellent season.

kinuta Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 BBC Howards End Attempting to retell the story in the shadow of the Merchant-Ivory masterpiece is a challenge to say the least. Great cast,production, set location and costume. The longer running time allows the story to be slightly better fleshed out. Look forward to the next three episodes. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/nov/12/howards-end-review-timely-careful-remake-class-race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 HBO A Good Job Stories Of The FDNY - Liz Garbus Steve Buscemi used to be a NYC fireman. One of the many things I learned from this fine documentary, where he interviews his old workmates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also be amazingly bad , both actingwise, and storywise. Edited November 26, 2017 by BERIGAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) The documentary The Festival, covering the Newport Folk Festival from 1963-1966, from the Criterion Collection. The performances included are short/edited/fragmentary, but there is some great stuff to see (Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Fred McDowell, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, John Lee Hooker (bonus material), the Butterfield Blues Band, with and without Dylan, Odetta). There is also plenty of folk as one might expect (Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Peter Paul and Mary, etc.), acoustic and electric Dylan, gospel and country (Johnny Cash). A pretty fun viewing experience, overall, and an interesting cultural snapshot of popularity of folk music in the early 1960s.

Good for you. I was having lunch with fellow boardster JohnJ who also seemed to have it figured out. I'm with your wife. I gave up the ghost about 2/3rds through season two. It's maybe laziness on my part but I just couldn't be bothered investing the concentration needed to keep up, which really means I found it boring.
