This is even darker, to the point that I struggle to see the details and characters’ faces. Like why does their law office look like a dungeon?

Tx for bringing this up, and it was based on real life?! Glad I dunno anything about that but will have to do research later on. The first episode starts off w a bang.

Cool, would be a good conversation later on.

Didn't recognize Colin Firth at first, I thought of him still looking like in The Kingsman. Same w that Sophie Turner, she looks worse off here also. Almost thought it was that Theon Greyjoy dude as the younger son but nope haha. Interesting to see The Governator's kid, dunno who he resembles aside from him seeming to have a good physique.

If you like band of Brothers and the Pacific, also Tom Hanks productions, he's got a new one coming up about the World War II Air Force called masters of the air… About the bombing of Germany

The other is a new show on Netflix called operation mincemeat… If you like World War II spy stuff it's good.

Completely agree about a lot of stuff being dark these days… It seems to have started about three years ago, I've had to set my OLED screen to "vivid" for many things, I never had to do that in the past.
Greyhounds pretty good. Of course, my favorite World War II of he also has Tom Hanks, saving Private Ryan. I think the first 15 minutes that movie is the most intense 15 minutes of any movie of any time.

Just started watching NOMAD with Carlton McCoy. I like it, it kind of reminds me of No Reservations just the host is a little less opinionated than Bourdain. LoL. Its a pretty good show though if you are into culture/food shows

5 episodes into The Lincoln Lawyer, good story and good acting. I hope the rest of the season keeps it up. Maybe a season 2 in the future.

I've actually really liked a few episodes of "searching for Italy" with Stanley Tucci. And for anybody wondering, I cannot stand "chopped", which my wife seems to like watching. Too many weird ingredients.

I just finished the first season and there are a lot of open questions, both ex-wives have important decisions to make and I thought the writing was well done. I didn't see the confrontation with the Supervising Judge coming so I'd like to see more.

That's how I felt when I reached S4:E13 of Ozark. Knowing there was only one more episode left gave me anxiety.

I know there’s a lot out there now. I have to say, I don’t think anything can beat Dexter and Breaking Bad. Ozark was good too though.

So much different from when we were young and all we had was channel 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. Probably different up your way.

Those are the channels I had too.

Was it that way throughout the US?

But really. How can this show have survived this long? 210 Episodes. That's a hell of a run. makes you really wonder what all those series that we want but Netflix didn't pick up for a second season or has drug their feet for years on.

Oh I love the "Searching for Italy" series too. This is the second season and it picked up just as entertaining as the first!

No lie, I'm on my 3rd round of watching them. Besides X-Files I don't think I've ever watched a series twice.
X-Files I've watched probably once every other year since they came out. I still think Scully is hot.

That sounds about right, but when I was young we only had 2, 6, 7, 9 & 11.
