“Fallout” on Prime. Based on a video game series. The premise is that in an alternate history, America never left 1950’s culture. So a century into the future, America is still 1950s except for having advanced technology. In the late twenty-first century, a nuclear exchange between China and the U.S. and the resulting fallout over the next 2 centuries destroys civilization as we know it. Lots of new civilizations and mutated animals end up taking over the earth. At various times, remnants of underground bunker cities carrying the old American culture (called “Vaults”) come up to explore the new world. The games usually center on you the player being a Vault inhabitant experiencing the real world for the first time.
The show is an original story set within the universe of the games and acts as an official continuation of the games’ stories. Very good. But extremely violent with a dark sense of humor, as the games are.

The wife watches stuff. I'm mostly HGTV, Food Network, book reading, a little Family Feud for mindless distraction.

There will be things that the game players will recognize immediately that it will take a new viewer a while to understand, but it all gets explained that needs to be. The show is drawing a lot of people to the games. The last major game in the series was released almost a decade ago, and purchases of that game have risen 7,500% since the show’s release a week ago.

I've been finding a lot of vg documentaries on the new-to-me Smithsonian Channel...and the ad blocker on YouTube TV works very well on it. Commercial comes on, screen goes dark for 2 or 3 seconds, then the story picks up again. It's inconsistent with other channels.

Bosch is great. There is also Bosch:Legacy which follows the Bosch series. I’ve been watching Warrior. It’s a good series if you like good fight scenes. A good comedy is Resident Alien.

Bosch and Bosch:Legacy are terrific. One of the few shows that you can actually enjoy if you read the books. Caught up on a few series that we missed the first time around: Alias, Barry, Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Just completed The 3 Body Problem on Netflix. Pretty good sci-fi. The Haunting of Hill House was good, and now watching another by the same director, the Fall of the House of Usher, which is even better. Both on Netflix. And started two nature shows: Secrets of the Octopus and Queens. Both first episodes very good.

I've been watching OJ Simpson doc with just one episode left. I forgot how fucked up that whole situation was and that POS got away with murder. They do show some pics of both corpses and it's quite gruesome. I can't imagine the rage that he was in when he killed Nicole and Ron.

Finished the last season of Jack Ryan. Enjoyed it a lot. I like action flicks that I haven’t seen before. For some reason the reruns don’t hold my attention. Mostly the wife likes anything to do with the investigation of real life murders. Currently I like the baseball games (college and pro) and of course my weekly NASCAR fix.
