Watched the first 2 episodes of McCartney 321 on Hulu

He talks about making and writing his music

Interesting more to the older crew maybe

I was around when this music came out so it's interesting to me

So running out of things, so went with the Netflix top of the week list.

Netflix:  Gunpowder Milkshake  A poor female version of John Wick.  It was a good attempt.  And there were moments of hope, but overall just seemed lacking.  It's worth a look for action junkies/Wick fans.  Other than that, it's a pass.

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Virgin River  Yeah, thought this would be like a small town detective show, but it was a total chick series.  This totally goes with that As Good as it Gets quote.  How do you write women so well.  I think of a man, then take away reason and accountability.  That's pretty much what this show is.  If your significant other asks to watch it with them, tell they you would rather watch a Dodger game.

[Taylor]

"Pig" with Nicolas Cage is a fantastic movie. One of my favorites of the year so far. It's a pseudo-thriller that goes in all sorts of unexpected directions. Nic Cage is one of the best actors out there if he's given the right script.

[Redondo]

Working off @Lou list

Umbre (shadows) need HBO

Mamon HBO

Touching evil. From the 90's

Amazon with ads

Nicola Walker from Unforgotten

Robson Green from Grantchester

Movie:  Black Widow  Marvel is just going through the motions.  Nothing special about this one.  They hint at Budapest, but only few details.  A lot of character development that just seemed like going through the motions.  A lot of women as strong.  But was kind of lost and pandering.  Villains could have been great, but feelings.  Some laughs, but really at themselves than funny.  Overall, pass unless you are a big Marvel fan.  And even if you are a marvel fan, small screen is good enough.

Just watching season one of Bosch. I see why you guys recommended it @Tank and @Redondo, good show, thanks! I was slow to the party as I thought here's another renegade detective who does it his own way show, but to be fair the lead guy Titus Welliver plays a very convincing version of the cliché and plays it well. Enjoying Marlo Stansfield in a suit too, he was excellent in The Wire so it's interesting to see him playing a different sort. Yes, very good so far and I adore the trumpet melody on the intro credits too, very catchy. Thanks guys.

Going back in time and watching the Hill Street Blues series all over again.

What really stands out is how none of the Morning roll call could ever happen now. The entire precinct would be in HR getting torn to shreds for everything they say or do to each other. And yet, that is how a lot of America started their day at work in the early 80's. 

Spoiler

For a drama they included a lot of comedy including casting their SWAT commander as a farcical clown.

I like the music in this series as I've always liked jazz but never really knew who to follow or where to start. on a whim I looked up one of the songs & artists that was mentioned on Spotify and downloaded over 100 songs into what I'm calling a Bosch Jazz playlist. In my search, I discovered someone with far more knowledge and skill than me already created a specific Bosch playlist from the music on the show. Good stuff!

started S3 of Luther. the last 2 episodes of S2 were pretty grim but well done (the twins with the dice).

That was a great show back in the day.  What was common then would be considered a misfit or troubled crew now.  

I'm wondering how well ER holds up.

My wife watched The Killing, said it was good.

She watches more TV than I do.

It's fantastic. You obviously outkicked your coverage.

No offense.

[gotbeer]

Amazon:  The Tomorrow War  Action movie.  Kind of like Edge of Tomorrow.  Overall, it was an entertaining flick.  Had some issues with the ending.  But story was interesting enough.  Good film to watch if you like action movies.  I dare to say that this might have been better on the big screen.

Really good show

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Another vote of confidence for the Killing. Really dig it.

Blowing through a rewatch of Dexter in foolish anticipation of the upcoming 9th season. I really enjoyed 1-4; 5-7 are good/ok, but damn I forgot how terrible 8 was. 

[Tank]

Finished Bosch. What a good series. 
 

On S4 of Luther. Keeps getting more and more intense.

Have to find a new show for me and the wife.

Check out Lou's list I have been watching

I'm making comments on each show

Netflix:   Heist  A Docuseries detailing 3 big heists in the US.  One in Vegas, One in Miami, and One in Kentucky.  All three are told by people that actually did the heists, as they were all ready out of jail.  This was really informative, and interesting how simply these guys all pulled off million dollar heists.  Worth a watch for true crime buffs.
