The Alienist - not sure yet!!

Persuasion

I've enjoyed watching Sally Hawkins in all of the productions I've seen ger in.

Seems to have been the brunt of tongue lashing from Trekie purists. I've enjoyed it all up to yesterdays penultimate episode.

Hats off to the show for inventiveness and willingness to break the mould with a dark vision and involving story arc.

Thanks to Chuck for posting a mention of this, which led me to watch it - entertaining, funny, and moving.

This is a terrific series -- the sort that's so small it's universal. I'm looking forward to Series 3!

[JSngry]

They should show this docu-series in high schools, if high schools have financial literacy classes. Not just this, mind you, but definitely this.

Detectorists - Series 2

X-Files - season finale

Dalziel & Pascoe - Season 2

Warren Clarke plays a great Andy Dalziel - just as I imagined that character from reading the novels.

Deadwood

Couldn't receive it fist time around and missed a lot of it on a repeat showing.  Catching up now.

Also finishing off Hell on Wheels.

Netflix. Awesome.

Occupied, on Netflix.  

Russians taking over a country (Norway). 

Just fiction. 

Right?

[Brad]

Season 4 of The Bridge, the Swedish Danish noir detective series.  This has been one of my favorite shows and it's a superbly written, acted and directed series.  I'm afraid this may be the last season. It's available on Hulu.

Enjoyed what I've seen so far.  It's motivated me to purchase volume 1 of the John Richardson biography.

The Richardsons are very good but very detailed. I wonder whether we'll get another volume

[Brad]

According to what I’ve read, he’s working on the 4th and final volume. 

[mjazzg]

Let's hope he completes it. It's a testament to him that he's doing so at the age of 94.  It'll be either very long or less detailed to go from where he left off to Picasso's death. Maybe he'll just cover the next decade or so

[Brad]

Yes, it’s amazing to be hard at work on a book like that at age.  On the other hand, researching  and writing a book like that probably keeps you young.

Wonderful to see the children's responses. Thanks so much for posting that, Jim.

[Marzz]

That Milestones video was great!

...and kids won't just stop at Miles either - seen this one?

 

[Misterioso]

Another one by Peter Brotzmann and Joe McPhee

Anybody else really into S2 of WestWorld?  It has the potential to be meaningfully better than the 1st.
