![oldcdgr](//storage.forums.net/6447321/images/juvLHSbPyjgJlrDFxGym.gif) Watched The cook of Casamar on Netflix, very good story and if you like cooking it’s good. Is it anything like this? 😁

Killing Eve on Netflix. 8 episodes per season to tell the tale of each story. So far so good at episode 4 of season 1.

Still working my way through "Crime Story" and loving it. The plot has moved on to the Mob's take over of the Las Vegas Casinos. The Cast is great. Ted Levine's character "Holman" is a hoot. He was the serial killer in "Silence of the Lambs". Does a great job with this character. The chief bad guy, "Ray Lucca" is played by Tony Denison. Unknown to me and he is also good. John Santucci's character "Pauli" the somewhat loveable goofball Wiseguy is also great and provides the Comic Relief to the grim plot points. The venerable Joseph Wiseman makes a great Boss of Bosses. If you enjoy crime shows this is for you.

Started Season One of "Evil". Very well done story line with good actors. A white female clinical psychologist who is a Court Expert Witness, a Black Roman Catholic Assessor and student Priest and a Pakistani Techie investigate the various possessions by demons and assorted miracles. I mention the ethnicity for these reasons; TV Land promoting ethnic diversity in shows which is a good thing and we need more of, their backgrounds influence who the characters are. Which is also a good thing if done with authenticity and not stereotyping. The team's purpose is to evaluate cases to determine if psycho or demonic. The RC Church seems to have a bias against miracles and possessions but will act when one is reasonably proven.
Better than I thought it would be. Not for anyone who is not firmly rooted in these matters of good and evil.

He never finished it, but I was finished with it after the last book. I got tired of all the good characters being killed off. I don't read to feel bad. Been waiting longer for book 3 of the Kingkiller Chronicles. Patrick Rothfuss gets threats because he won't finish the series.

I watched one episode of GoT. For me, the lack of historical context clashed with the medieval age stuff. Too much fantasy for me.

Watched an episode of Wild Wild West with breakfast today… good to see Victor Buono as the evil genius.
He died at 43 of a heart attack… 1982.

I watched an episode of PBS Nova on the salvage operation of the Costa Concordia shipwreck off the coast of Italy in 2002. It was the largest ship to ever be uprighted and hauled away and took 3 years and 1.2 billion dollars. Extremely precarious and the engineering, materials, equipment and manpower was insane.
The efforts to minimize any chance of polluting the pristine waters took a herculean effort.

When I finish the Star Trek, Next Generation series, that will be the one I start on. My meal time companions. Vitor Buono was always great. Ditto Michael Dunn, the dwarf actor. Many great villains.

Working my way through "Evil" and enjoying it. Great writing and fine cast of characters. Last episode had a Priest and Imam arguing about who would perform an exorcism on a possessed child. One parent Muslim and one Catholic. Hilarious.

Watched Festival last night. A documentary about the Newport Folk Festival in the 60s. Pretty good stuff. Including Dylan's sacrilegious electric guitar. Shed a tear.

I remember the controversy when Bob went electric. That is leadership for you. He started the entire Fold Rock genre. I guess this marked the end of the great "Folk Scare" as it is often called.

Started watching the series "Criminal Minds". Never seen before by me. It is quite interesting how the FBI's profilers work. Good psychological drama without too much bang bang. Mandy Patinkin is very good in this.

Mandy Patinkin is very good in this. He left the series long, long ago. He said that he got the creeps being involved in producing the series and no longer wanted to be associated with it. He has done some interviews since then where he is totally unhinged, bordering on lunacy. He is good at his craft, and I enjoyed his work… I would decline an opportunity to meet him though.

I see he was replaced by Joe Mantegna whom I also like in these type movies. he was excellent in "Homicide" and "House of Games". Two David Mamet films.

I like Joe Mantegna on and off screen. He is a true “gun guy” and was on Midway USA’s “ Gun Stories” with Michael Bane.
And of course his time spent on the Memorial day show with Gary Sinise.

Mandy Patinkin is very good in this. I don't know. The TV shows make the alphabet agencies look a lot more competent than they are in real life. For instance, by the time DNA evidence is tested and it gets back to the investigator, the perp is likely dead of old age.
