We started the Undoing, 1/2 way through S1 now and it's worth the time so far...

Nicole Kidman gives one heck of a performance. Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland etc.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I watched the whole thing and I think overall it was OK (maybe a 6.5 out of 10 or since Ebert is gone 1/8 of his thumb)

I won't comment further until you watch the whole thing.

Yep. I was personally a touch underwhelmed. But if you like multiple coat changes by the lead, you'll like this.  :p

Just watched 'The Little Things' with Denzel Washington, Rami Malek and Jared Leto. Very good.

Just finished The Morning Show, very good. 

I was underwhelmed by The Little Things. But, I was doing more surfing than watching.

The girlfriend is watching The Crown. I caught a bit of it, seems really good but slow  moving.

She is awful easy on the eyes...Wifey has been drooling over the fashions. 

Sorry to say, my favorite today is still Swamp People: Serpent Invasions  :p

Took us several attempts, once we got through the first season it grew on me/us.  I Like it has short, 6 episode, season arcs.

Agree, give it a couple more tries.  I did and I was hooked.  Peaky Blinders is in my Top 10 TV drama series.  Of course Soprano's is #1 and then Breaking Bad.  Breaking Brad took me 2 times and about 3 episodes in to hook me.  Soprano's was instant.

I watched the Little Things yesterday and really liked it. Afterward I had to admit that it was probably more about seeing some stellar acting from Denzel. I've watched a lot of Netflix over the past few months and low budget (but enjoyable) shows. But Denzel is a man who knows his craft and is just a pleasure to watch.

Has anyone watched Ted Lasso (Apple TV)? I thought it was excellent and am happy that there will be a season 2.

So funny, I've tried at least 2 times. Can't do it. And I WANT to like it.

Yes, it would have been a shame, shame, shame if it wasn't brought back.

Bet nobody is watching Coach on IMDB tv (amazon).  Or I shouldn't be alive on prime.  Or brain games with the kids on disney.

Hamilton's Pharmacopia

Actually have a nuanced chemical and social discussion regarding the realities of substances and drugs that we have wastefully spent billions of dollars fighting.

Ketamine or MDMA for clinical depression
LSD for chronic lime disease
Psylocibin for vet PTSD
Ibogaine for opioid addiction
