We've just finished bingeing the first 2 seasons of The Chosen. Really excellent series with good acting and production. I recommend that you check it out, even if you think it won't appeal to you.

Been catching up on Yellowstone, I think I would plant Beth’s carcass face down in the ranch cesspool.
She is about as disgusting as they come.

She's the definition of a b!t@h, but my wife loves her character. I love the Yellowstone series. Watched the first few episodes of Yellowstone 1883, but the rest of it is only available on Paramount Plus. |

I've been catching up on The Rookie, A Discovery of Witches (The books are pretty better.), and Big Sky.
I've been watching "The Wheel of Time" based on Robert Jordan's books. The books are tough to read. The series is hard to follow too.

 My wife loves Beth, she sure is an ice breaker, makes me chuckle at the insults she throws, would have made a good Bosuns Mate!

I don't watch a lot of TV, but The Princess and I have sure been enjoying the remake of All Creatures Great & Small. The new iteration of Around the World in 80 Days with David Tennant has been enjoyable also.
Other than those two, if I'm in front of the tv it's going to be something educational. The Smithsonian has some good stuff, although the disturbing trend anymore is to infuse everything with nausea-inducing amounts of drama.

She basically tells dad at his own table to STFU, and I am surprised she doesn’t throw water in his face. That dog would never hunt in any generation of my family that I have witnessed. My dad would have handed her off to Egyptian slave traders. |

Yellowstone will be next.

As I've mentioned here on the patch before, We cut the cable/cord/dish 10 or 12 years back. The house is full of either Roku boxes or Roku TV's.
That being said, we don't really watch "regular TV". Can't stand the commercials or all of the drama, fake news, offended class B.S.
If we can't steam it, binge it, we don't watch it.
Currently we're on our 2nd season of Ozark. I know, I know.... A bit behind the times, but we're enjoying it nonetheless. Definitely on the dark side, not unlike Breaking Bad. Even though we're enjoying it, there's a cognitive dissonance in the fact that you find yourself rooting for them to "get away with it", despite the fact that most everyone on the show is a flawed / bad person.

I cant remember the last time I watched "regular tv." I've used roku since it was new. Living "in the sticks" and not having high speed internet available AT ALL was the issue I had to tackle first. It was solved with an unlimited plan on my phone and using that as a hot spot.
Someone is ALWAYS getting my money.
It beats commercials, one sided news, and cry baby BS though.

I tired watching "Yellowstone" years back. Too much like life here and it made me nauseous.

That was the beauty of "Justified". We had antagonists like Boyd Crowder and Wynn Duffey who were sympathetic. Then there was Dewey Crowe! |

I've seen neither of those shows, but I'm with you on the principle. I'm good with dark. I'm good with morally compromised. Most of us are. But at least one character in the show has to have enough redeeming qualities to be likeable on the whole. Somebody has to at least be trying to be decent. |

Watched a few episodes of Yellowstone last night, I really liked the encounter with the bikers from California…
John Dutton..“Where are you guys from?”
I answered before the biker did… “from California”
My wife and daughter got a good laugh.
.
Beth is growing on me!

Just finished binge watched "Band of Brothers".
Recorded it on Veteran's Day. Finally got around to watching it. I've seen it before but it had been a while.
Great series.

Glad I rid myself of ATT/ Warner/ Directv last night I heard that they are dropping one America news because they do not March to the tune of CNN/ MSNBC… Comcast also.
Glad I told them to go to hell long ago.

Watch this series from the beginning onwards otherwise it will be meaningless. |
