Is anyone watching Lovecraft Country on HBO? It's OK but, if you read the book, it's nearly unrecognizable. It annoys me when writers pay so little respect to the source material. I hope Matt Ruff (the book's author) was well paid for this bastardization.

We had a look at Lovecraft Country and we decided that it wasn't for us.

Away. A realistic short series about the first manned mission to Mars. An excellent series on Netflix. Hillary Swank is fantastic as an astronaut who leaves her family for a three year, possibly one way trip. 9.5/10 because nothing is perfect.

 You're right about that series Ron, wife and I loved it, showed the personnel trails and tribulations of a mission you probably won't come back from.

Texas is suing Netflix for distribution of child pornogrophy for "Cuties". I'm not going to watch it, but I do wonder how bad it is.

Read about the suit in Texas re Netflix. Haven't seen the show, but I'm a bit surprised something like that slipped through. The show, not the suit.

Documentary if Hatfield and McCoy. With K.k.
Very interesting but unfortunately also kind of stupid.

Watched 'Ratched' on Netflix. Supposed to be a prequel of the character from 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'
Bizarre and logic defying.
6/10

If nobody rats me out, I've been watching the newest season of Ancient Aliens on Netflix. It's more realistic than our current political situation, anyway...ROFL.

Ray Donovan 8.5/10 - Just started watching it. I'm at Season 2 Episode 4.
Emily In Paris 8/10 - A brand new Netflix series. Not something I thought I'd be interested in, but very entertaining.
Nurse Ratched 7.5/10 - The fictional character from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest now has her own show - on Netflix.

New Fargo season. On episode 4 and it's looking pretty good if you like Fargo. Not quite as good as previous seasons.

I, too watched the premiere of Chicago Med, Fire, Police...pretty good as was the seasons of Yellowstone which I really enjoyed...looking forward to the "possible" return with new seasons...bummer that Beth was apparently killed in the bombing of her office. She was a major player in this series.

The Northern Irish accents are atrocious!!! I can't cope. 2. Anyone who leaves their car to get serviced must be waiting weeks to get it back again. |

We are now on season 8 of the British show Doc Martin.
The first 6 seasons are on Amazon Prime. But we had to go to Acorn (trail subscription) for seasons 7 and 8.
Is it the best, maybe not, but we enjoy it and she would give it a 10.

I don’t have TV. But I do have a nice flatscreen and I DO like movies. I subscribe to DVD.com (a subsidiary of Netflix) and get three disks at a time at home for $16 a month. That works out to about 3 disks a week from a vast selection. I’ve enjoyed JUSTIFIED (9), SON OF ANARCHY (7) (yes, the Six Counties’ accents are raimish), DEADWOOD(9), SHERLOCK (6), etc. Now finsihing up with the fifth season of BOARDWALK EMPIRE (9). Very good stuff, Steve Buscemi is outstanding, as is the whole cast. A tour de force series.

I forgot they still posted DVDs out. you've also reminded me to check out Boardwalk Empire. |

Designated Survivor, 10/10. We hated that they canceled this one season short of what we thought it needed. It was a great series. |

I enjoyed Yellowstone on the Paramount network. Yes it like a soap opera and filmed in Utah instead of Wyoming but it beats the Hallmark movies.
