    I enjoy Tulsa King. The role really suits Stallone.

    I've watched clips from Mr. In-Between on YouTube for some time, and just started watching the series. Not family fare, but I like the lead character, Ray Shoesmith, played by Scott Ryan.

    I never could get into Tulsa King.

    Just finished up "The Perfect Couple" Nicole Kidman was perfect in her role.

    Going with Season 4 of Slow Horses.

    Been watching movies on Netflix and Prime. Some I really like. Some not so much. The latter I'm usually done within 10 minutes. Also been watching (not binge) a British murder mystery TV series from the early 2000s titled "Lewis", set in Oxfordshire, hometown of Oxford University. New case each time. I'm guessing most here would understand when I say it's addictive.

    Since I'm Covid + since Sunday I've been stuck at home watching a lot of TV. I watched 2 seasons of The Diplomat on Netflix and it's very good. Stars Keri Russell. While the series has been very entertaining I certainly hope it's not an actual representation of how things go in an American Embassy!!

    An no I don't know where I picked it up, I am doing the Paxlovid deal and I actually feel ok today, Sunday was my worst day, sort of a bad flu day. Yesterday was better and today is pretty good.

    Landman is certainly interesting! I have no idea if that's how things go in the Oil patch, but it's good TV.

    Ridley on Masterpiece Theatre and Shetland on BritBox. Both individual murder mystery episodes set in beautiful country in Northern England and Scotland. Mixing them with Hallmark Christmas movies. OK, I can see you rolling your eyes. :rolleyes:

    Recently ..

    1923 - Good finish to this saga. Damn life was rough in Montana back then.

    Mobland - Pierce Brosnan and Hellen Mirren ...British. I really like this show, the story line is pretty good and as mobsters they aren't very competent. But bodies sill show up.

    Bad Monkey. Funny, Will Farrell is a detective in the Key's with issues.

    Ransom Canyon. Taylor Sheridan Contemporary Western. Good cast, i love Minka Kelly. Typical Story Line, Rich ranchers who hate each other, evil Corporation. Lovable bad guy and one you just hate.

    Partner Track. NYC high power law firm story with 4 main characters all trying to make partner. I had to just binge it.

    Dark Winds Modern Navajo Police story, lots of dusty Western landscapes. Good but not great.

    The Glass Dome ...a foreign series, dubbed. It's dark and it's always cold in the small Swedish town. I liked it a lot.

    I tried Pulse as I typically like Hospital (ER) based series, loved the Resident, but this one I just hated the main characters.

    Bosch: Legacy Season 3, I like Harry Bosch stuff and this is no different.

    Heartland Season 18, I've loved this series, makes you feel good and the scenery is spectacular.

    Artic Air: 4 seasons, I like these flying rescue type of series, and one of the main characters is one of my favorite characters from a Hallmark series called One calls the Heart.

    I had The Pitt recommended to me but it was too much dysfunctional doctors and patients. Gave up after 3 episodes

    Been watching Season 3 of The Diplomat, it's been good and there will be season 4.
    Been watching new seasons of The Morning Show and Slow Horses along with Only Murders in the Building all of which are good.
    Watched The Woman in Cabin 10, it was good not great.
    Watched a BritBox series called Karen Pirie, she's a Scottish Police Detective, had to go with closed captions to keep up with the acccent.
    Lots of Hallmark Movies of course for my fell good needs!
    Watched Hotel Costeira another series, this one set on the Amalfi Coast of Italy and the scenery was so beautiful that the mediocre plot didn't kill it!!

    I was in a family group last night, including 3 of my 4 siblings in for the first grandchild wedding today. A few of them were talking about The Diplomat. They all like it. I'll have to check it out.
