For some reason I've started re-watching "Downton Abbey" (with Mrs. BEvans) and "The Wire" (when she's not around--definitely too rough for her taste). Both fun on re-viewing, but obviously in different ways.
Good to see you back, Brian!
^Glad to be back, badrose. :trink39: Missed you folks.
Yesterday's release of all 4k UHD Mission Impossible movies resulted in an almost complete sellout at Best Buy's. Same for Jack Reacher.
Has anyone here seen Interstellar ? IMdB gives it high ratings but I'd like to hear from folks here.
If you've been following the Mission: Impossible movie series here's an article about the one coming out the 27th of this month.

I enjoy watching old movies just to see how they would go over today. Watched one that would be a train wreck if it came out in 2018 rather than 1976..."Manniquin" with Andrew McCarthy. Good lord, talk about sexual harassment at the workplace.
But by the same token it was also the hayday of some great movies. 90% of the movies I watch come from the 80s and 90s. Once 2000 and beyond hit, the movie industry took a nosedive in originality and quality. In the 80s and 90s, the bad were really bad but the good were really good
Netflix has another season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee up now. 12 episodes
Take your time, they go fast.
I finished Longmire. I enjoyed it, good change from DC and Marvel stuff. It was better as an A&E show than Netflix. It didn't change much but I didn't like small changes to the characters.
Finished season 3 of Supergirl the other night. I think I'll skip season 4. It had too much politics in it for me. I hope Arrow avoids that...
I'm interested in Krypton. I think it is on the Sci Fi channel. Anyone know if that will be politically slanted? I watch Sci Fi to avoid real life.......

Well, the latest Mission:Impossible is out and, so far, the reviews are pretty good with a chunk of them are saying it's the best of the franchise.
Here's one review:

Also, Yellowstone is turning out well. I hope it sticks around.
Last night I watched a movie on Prime called Coherence (2013). If you like movies that make you think, check it out.
A new season of Better Call Saul started tonight. An encore presentation will start at 11:00 PM Eastern.
The new show after Better Call Saul, Lodge 49, may turn out to be good. I didn't think I'd like it at first but it may turn out to be one of those 'feel good' offerings.
Condor has been really good...

I just saw the trailer for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 2 and it looks to be at least as good as the first go-round. I've looked around for a season premiere date but no luck. BEvans turned me onto it. If you haven't seen season 1, check it out. It's on Amazon Prime.
Anyone watched Strike Back? It’s on Prime, think it came from Cinemax. Watched the first four episodes last night, pretty good.
Anybody been watching the2nd season of Preacher??
No words.

I just watched the first two episodes of The Sinner, season 2. Looks like they've done a good job of following up season 1 with another mysterious murder and puzzle.
Suits is about big shot lawyers. It started out with a kid faking his way into a firm (so far as not going through law school) by using his photographic memory and hard work ethic which eventually paid off with the real thing. But he's gone now. I'm a creature of habit so I'll hang in a bit to see how it goes. Suits comes on right before The Sinner.
The Preacher is on AMC, I believe there are only 1-2 episodes left for season 3.
It is, to say the least, bizarre.

By the way, I misspoke, they’re on season 3.
