What are you watching?

[AdagioM]

We just watched the Billy Joel documentary on MAX (HBO?). Enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the most recent season of The Bear even though it wasn’t as good as past seasons. I’m not doing a rewatch of Season 1.

I don’t know if it would be available in the US because it’s a Canadian show, but Plan B is very good (and super weird). The third season has just come out recently and we just finished watching it. It was my least favourite of the three seasons but still good.

We are also watching Northern Exposure as Rob had never seen it. We are only a few episodes in and I remember liking it more than I am this time so I’m hoping it gets better as it goes and I just forgot that the first bit wasn’t great.

One of my favorite shows ever!

[rustyfingers]

@Steve-Miller @wtg ours too!

Just finished the first season of A Man on the Inside on Netflix with Ted Danson and Stephanie Beatriz. I think they absolutely nailed the senior living experience based on the six weeks I spent living at my stepmothers place after she passed away last year.

Recently started 2 1/2 men for our before bedtime fluff comedy...

For fans of Nero Wolfe. A&E series with Timothy Hutton as Archie and Maury Chaykin as Wolfe. Great soundtrack. Wish it were available to purchase.

Available on YT to stream:

@wtg
Thanks, Nero Wolfe looks interesting; copyright-banned over here but the archive link works.

I'm currently watching House (MD) starring Hugh Lawrie.
On series 2 episode 4. So that's 26 out of 176 seen.
It's 20 years old and is fresh to rewatch.

Incidentally in the first series he is shown in his home with a Sohmer piano. Laurie does play well of course.

@AndyD Rex Stout’s Wolfe novels are a wonderful read, too; I got hooked in college. I think my favorite is The Doorbell Rang, which A&E adapted for TV. They do an impressive job of making a great book into equally excellent TV.

IMHO, of course....

Olympics, intermittently.

[AndyD]

I just can't get enthusiastic for any of it, and I feel as it's The Olympics I ought to.
Seen bits of skiing, shooting, and then there's the curling .
Not even the jumping or ice hockey. None of it.
Am I getting old, or is it because they're wrapped up in five layers and it seems impersonal?
It's been more like watching darts, or snooker.

[wtg]

@AndyD I've felt that way for years. When I was a kid I used to be glued to the TV when the Olympics were on, especially the Winter Games. Somewhere along the way, probably in the 1990s, it felt like the competitive nature of the Olympics became eclipsed by bling and commercialism and the true spirit of the Games pretty much disappeared.

[AndyD]

I used to like the artistic skating though it has become lots of triple jumps and spins.
Missed most of it this time!

[Mark]

Were watching Tehran on Apple TV.
Another Life on Netflix
Recently finished. 11.23.63 and The Travelers both Time travel memes. Very good!

HBO, Heated Rivalry, love story of two hockey players. Free clips on YouTube.

I thought this scene was great--

Started watching Young Sherlock on Prime. It’s fun!

[AndyD]

I'm binging on Sherlock (Cumberbatch & Freeman series) at the moment.

Got to series 4 of House (Hugh Laurie) and needed a break

Real life is worrisome enough, I don’t need to watch that sh*t in the movies.

Bob has said something like that. We started watching less violence. I have found that it is a good change.
