December 15, 2025Dec 15 Catching up a bit: The Diplomat is my favorite show for quite a while. For West Wing fans, getting Allison Janey and Brad Whitford back together is just spectacular chemistry and steals the show Finally watched Ozark, and it was a great show, with a pretty disappointing ending. Not Soprano's bad, but stains an otherwise top notch show. The P Diddy Biopic on Netflix was worth a watch for no other reason than the connects to 2Pacs and Biggies murders.

Diplomat is awesome and you are right on Ozark…so good but lost its marbles at end. A couple episodes in - landman is outstanding.

Ozark to me was like Lost in that the premise was great but the end game didn't match the build up. Pluribus is an awesome show. I love how it has gone thus far and Gilligan seems to have the story completed before it starts to avoid a bad ending in previous shows.

I would be watching it, but I don't have that service right now. I LOVE all things Gilligan. He is incredible at what he does.

Agreed. I didn’t realize it was Gilligan and the same actress that was in Better Call Saul. I just read the synopsis and I will definitely be watching this show now.

People have knocked it for feeling slow but I think that's more the TikTok, no attention span generation.

December 19, 2025Dec 19 Was posted about in another thread, but the new Ken Burns American Revolution series was vintage Burns work. Well work the time to put into it and watch it.

Well work the time to put into it and watch it. I've been laid up for a bit and meant to start this. I will do so soon. Pluribus is just a different type of show. I am not certain how to explain it but it is worth the watch.
February 24Feb 24 It's a netflix 4 part series, so I am going to put it with TV for now, but Death By Lighting is a great series, focusing on the pretty much forgotten assassination of James Garfield. For those who love obscure history, it was a very good watch.

Thursday at 02:55 PM5 days Very excited for the new Handmaid's tale spinoff as well as the Malcom revival. Also Scrubs was as great as it always was.

Saturday at 09:08 PM3 days Just finished binging the seven seasons of West Wing. Great show. I think it took my wife and I around 6 months. Somehow, most of the political storylines (Israel, Iran, lobby reform, you name it) covered in the series are as relevant as ever today. Not much I don’t like about the series. My kids were young during the first run and I never even considered watching it. I’m glad I finally got around to it. It ranks highly among the best tv shows of all time - including Sopranos, Wire, etc.
