    I have watched the entire series and thought it was great. It is a prequel to the Inspector Morse series which I never could get really interested in

    Terry, that's interesting. Inspector Morse is a series I was thinking about when my friend recommended Endeavour. I did some research and learned that E is a prequel to IM. Thanks for your assessment of both.

    Agreed! Outstanding in every way. Great actors and a good historical piece.

    Sid don't take my opinion, Inspector Morse was a long running success in spite of my lukewarm review.;)

    Well, I'll be watching Endeavour for quite some time. When done, I'll check out Inspector Morris. Thanks for the info.

    If you are a Fargo fan a new season starts Tues on FX and the next day on HULU. It's been a number of years since the last season of Fargo, the one with Chris Rock and the Kansas City Mob. They have all been great.


    I've also started Lawmen:Bass Reeves I just watched the 1st episode which sort of sets up the whole back story of how he got to be what he became. Looks good so far, it's on Paramount +

    Finished watching Griselda on Netflix, it's an 80's drug soap opera about a real woman who took over the Miami drug scene, pretty gruesome at times as you might expect. But I couldn't stop watching it.

    If you aren't offended by the violence it's recommended. I have seen it compared to Narcos.

    If you would like a Hallmark style Rom-Com, try The other Zoey. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I have started watching Tracker on CBS and really like it and I have enjoyed The Irrational as well.

    I have watched several Harlen Coben books turned into limited series. I have liked them all.

    1. Fool me Once
    2. The Stranger
    3. Safe

    I've watched The Other Zoey and loved it. I'm a sucker for rom-coms and have seen almost every Hallmark movie ever made in the past 6-7 years. Judy and I used to watch them together, and I continued the tradition. However, I'm gradually weaning myself off that formula and watching more Netflix and Prime Video movies and really like them. I also am watching Tracker and like it a lot.

    For the baseball geeks, I recommend The Hill on Netflix. A true story with the usual dramatic license. I also recommend highly (especially for Terry) My All-American on Prime Video, the true story of a U. of Texas football player on the 1969 national championship team.

    This has potential to be pretty funny.

    Just finished Tokyo Vice on Cinemax and/or Amazon. Great story about young US journalist working for a large Tokyo paper getting caught up in the Japanese underworld. Well done, 14 episodes or so. Highly recommend
