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. Your wife sounds like mine. She can watch the ID channel 24/7. Nothing but murder investigations all day.

Black Sails on Netflix. If you like twists and turns, not to mention extreme violence it's a great series. Lots of double crosses, dirty dealings, pirate romance, and just well written plots.

I like the British TV shows. The “Midsomer Murders” is pretty well done. I like the scenery of the English countryside and there are often shotguns, and hunting by the locals that add to the stage. We just finished Ted Lasso, not bad, 3/5 stars.

Different people have different humor Pete, nothing bad, just different. The bride loved it.

We moved on from Ted Lasso to Black Sails. A fair amount of nudity, pirate violence but still good.

I enjoyed the original series of All Creatures Great and Small. They followed the books very closely and it was enjoyable watching and following along. The 2nd series, not so much.
I'm too much of a realist for most stuff anymore. Machine guns in the streets, endless car chases with guns blazing, cars blowing up with huge pyrotechnics....blah. You simply do not see that in real life. Can't stand 'em.

I am a huge Halo fan. So I'm kinda jealous of the Fallout series. It is a very well done series that stays pretty true to the source material.
Outside of the usual historical documentaries and especially the history of our and other countries Clandestine services (both friend and foe). A few series shows I have really enjoyed Jack Ryan. absolutely awesome and well done 5 seasons. Lioness. A single season so far but very good. TAYLOR Sheridan is in every damn thing Subsequent seasons will be stand alone stories. If you enjoyed the Sicario movies (Sherridon again) you'll enjoy it House. My wife says it's like being married to house without the medical degree and money. 8 seasons
If you're bored during the day and enjoy podcasts check out the Shawn Ryan Show on YouTube. He's a former Seal and also CIA. His guest are everything from operators from different services and the CIA to Retired Admirals talking about UFOs. The episode with "Superbad" (female CIA targeter) is crazy and madening.

New season of The Boys and House of Dragons is active. If you run through that we just watched Eric. Short one season show, little dark, little like Wilfurd. It’s on Netflix.

The Acolyte is mediocre. Neither good nor terrible. Its no more cringy than most of Disney’s other Star Wars shows (except The Mandalorian and Andor are both excellent).

I haven't heard anything good about the acolyte. I'm sure I'll break down and watch eventually

I haven't heard anything good about the acolyte. I'm sure I'll break down and watch eventually I’ve been more patient with it than most. I didn’t like last night’s episode at all. A character did a 180° on that character’s arc that didn’t seem very plausible at all (but doesn’t appear to be a psych-out either). The big hubbub is mostly about a plot point being centered on a coven of Force-witches (not Nightsisters) who are lesbians. However, the show doesn’t make it explicit that they’re lesbians. Only the show-runner makes it clear they are in interviews. The show itself leaves it open to some interpretation. Sort of like how The Legend of Korra in the Avatar series handled it at the end of the show. But the scenes with the Force-witches are poorly done regardless. There’s some really corny scenes such as them chanting a silly song about “the power of one, the power of two, the power of many” and its just goofy lesbians or not. I’ve seen plenty of bad acting and dialogue in the other Star Wars shows. That’s why I cut The Acolyte some slack. Andor it isn’t. (Andor is excellent BTW if you haven’t watched it).
