I'm watching several TV shows in clips on YouTube. You hit Subscribe if you want the clips in your feed. I'm watching maybe five shows, only clips, and nothing in chronological order. Lol.

Steve Miller

Just finished “Paradise”. Writing is pretty sloppy, a bit slow, but well made and I’m glad I watched it.

Hulu.

We really like Paradise! I think the first episode was actually the best one though.

Severance. I am so into it that I’m also listening to the podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott and that’s also excellent.

Mythic Quest’s new season isn’t as great as the first couple, but still loving it.

Haven't seen Mr. Jodi in any of the crowd scenes yet. It is weird recognizing so many local places. Bars I've been in. Hotels I've been in. Streets I've walked down....

So far it's a lot darker than season 1, and a bit more tedious. I hope the pace picks up a bit soon.

Steve Miller

Couldn’t engage with Severence.

Again, terrible writing.

I vehemently disagree! I think the writing, acting, directing, and cinematography are all brilliant. However it’s definitely not a show for everyone. I wholeheartedly recommended it to my mom but told her to watch it when my dad wasn’t home.

Yeah, I'm pretty tired of Spencer's trip from Africa. Definitely tedious. Plus, the latest episode is just a rehash of the original Yellowstone. They want to take the ranch to build an airport and a resort. Yawn. The escaped Native American girl plot is going pretty much nowhere too.

The Righteous Gemstones is a hoot. My daughter pointed out that it's just a comedy version of Succession, which I hated.

Jodi

I don’t think Steve is in until about episode 7. He filmed at the train station when they are waiting for Spencer. He also was in a street scene in front of a car. But I think a lot of the early street scenes were filmed in Austin Texas. I haven’t actually watched any of it yet - I cannot deal with the violence and the weird obsession Sheridan seems to have with torturing naked prostitutes. So I’m going to wait until episode 7 and zoom through to see if I can find Steve. Then maybe watch the last episode so I know what happens and then maybe watch it backwards.

Jodi

Any more I have a lot of trouble with movies and shows that have disappointing endings. Movies that kill off the characters you like. Things that are too much like the chaos I feel like we are living in now. Real life is worrisome enough, I don’t need to watch that sh*t in the movies.

@Jodi Have you watched Julia on Max? About Julia Child. Mostly biographical with some fiction thrown in. Wonderful British actress Sarah Lancashire. David Hyde Pierce as Paul Child. Bebe Neuwirth.

Jodi

I don’t get Max. Amazon Prime, Netflix, and paramount plus

Possible ways to get a free trial.

We watched the most recent episode of 1923 last night, and I literally had to cover my face for about half of it and ask Mr Pique when it was safe to look again. I agree, I don't need that shit in my life.

I watch exclusively on YouTube. My subscriptions are almost entirely British ex-pats living in France renovating chateau and old farmhouses, and British vloggers focusing on lifestyle, needle crafts and organ music. I only subscribe to a few American channels, "Jeri Landers of Hopalong Hollow" is one, she's a fantastic gardener/craftsperson/artist. "Lost In The Pond" is another but he's from Brittain as well. And a couple of French language channels. Then there's a handful of miscellaneous channels, a few in America, Canada, Netherlands.

Now rewatching:
Signora Volpe

@Bernard I don’t know if you are on Instagram but I love this account about restoring Knockderry Castle in Scotland! https://www.instagram.com/knockderrycastle?igsh=Mms0ZHRyaHV6cTVv

Bernard

@dolmansaxlil No, I'm not on Instagram, I refuse to engage with any of Meta's companies.

But I looked and they have a Youtube channel, "Restoring Knockderry Castle"! I'll check it out. Thanks!
