Any suggestions? Prime, Hulu, Netflix are all good options. No Paramount.

Halfway through Better Call Saul. I am enjoying it. Then again, I loved Breaking Bad, too.

He just got too weird in order to feed a lazy plot line and the nnotion tha his squeeze would stay with him gotn to be too much. Have you seen Workin Moms on Netflix? A bit uneven but a lot of pretty wacky comedy. |

I agree with Better Call Saul but Rocky is right that it got a little weird after a while. Take a look at SUITS. I think it lasted for 8 seasons. For us it was addictive although it too got a little stale toward the end.

We recently enjoyed the Van Der Valk series on Masterpiece Theater (PBS). Set in Amsterdam.
Confess that while we wait (and wait) for some of our current shows to return, sometimes we go back and watch old, old NCIS and the original Law & Order.

We tried to watch a show on Netflix that was a foreign production (German) that we kept seeing on Netflix's Top 10. It was called "Dark". It was the most confusing show I have ever watched. We tried, oh how we tried, to follow the story line and keep the characters straight across multiple timelines. We finally gave up before the end of Season 2. I don't want to work that hard to make sense of a plot.
I am watching another German production, "Dear Child" which is at least easy/easier to follow. But still kind of strange.

The Van Der Walk is in English, so it's pretty easy to follow! If you happen to like crime drama that might get a tad dark... |

Both Dark and Dear Child are dubbed in English. For Dark, the plot was just too convoluted. Even my son, who can follow really complex shows pretty well gave up.

Our guilty pleasure right now is The Morning Show on Apple TV. If you don't subscribe to Apple TV, you can do it for a month and binge the show. There's a lot of good stuff in it. Apple has been fantastic lately in presenting social issues that other streamers back off from.

I just dipped back into Better Call Saul and it dawned on me there was one thing that was really bugging me. It was that damn, mostly yellow, barely running econo car!

I read mysteries every night just before the light goes off. Very much recommend the Thursday Murder Club. No 4 is now out, supposedly the last in the series. Now reading Iain Pears series that features art history. Hope to visit Agatha Christie's home next semester when I'm in England. I've read every word of her and also hope to go to the Mousetrap.

(yea better than BB, I think Gilligan took what he learned in BB and expanded on it). The cinematography is definitely the best. Some of those camera shots are just unreal. |

It's all good man! |
