Shogun? Getting right on that are you?
I like Loudermilk. It is hilarious at times.
Bob likes Hope Street, which is a soap opera set in a small coastal town in the UK disguised as a cop show. It is entertaining.
Troppo is good. I thought Bob did not grisly things until we started it.
We watch TV from 7 to 9 most nights and usually agree on what to watch. Football has a priority (won't write that it trumps anything) -
There's a WTTW (Chicago's PBS station) series called Chicago Stories. Even if you're not from the area, some of the episodes might be of interest to you.

And if you feel like seeing some sights but aren't able to travel, there's a new Geoffrey Baer program, The Most Beautiful Places in Chicago 2.

The new seasons of both Slow Horses and Only Murders in the Building. We are also watching The Orville, but it’s only okay.

I think The Orville is pretty brilliant. It's a tough task to take such an iconic genre and make it both funny and compelling. Kudos to Seth McFarlane.

@CHAS after he threw up all over a grand piano I was done with Loudermilk.
I've had it with all the gratuitous vomiting on tv and in the movies anyway, but all over a grand piano was going too far. Won't turn it on again.

It was Horn and Hardart
Did they change the name of it for the show?
No, they did not.
Correction made.
@wtg I remember going to Horn and Hardart across 42nd Street from Grand Central a number of times as a child. Kids loved that place. Pick your own piece of pie? Count me in!
-
@Quirt-Evans I believe that's the same one my grandma took me to! Just reading what you wrote I could see that slice of pie in my mind, clear as day.

@Mik When I wrote that we were in season 1. Now we are in Season 3. Now I agree with your assessment! It just took them awhile to figure out what they wanted to be!

The Americas on NBC/Peacock. Narrated by Tom Hanks.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
