The Beast in me with Clare Dane and the guy from the Americans may have already been mentioned - very good. Also Absentia - pretty entertaining plot. Both on Netflix.

Dark Winds season 2 was very good. If you like Native American stories.
Saw the new Knives Out movie. It's a slightly bizarre story but pretty interesting. I'd say it was better than #2 but not as good as the original. Thought the acting was a tad over the top but some fun stuff and some interesting twists.
If you're in the mood for an interesting doc, check out "Castle Impossible".
Girl (and husband), about 30 from California, inherits a chateau in France from her Grandfather. She has traveled back and forth to this castle many times and speaks French. This place is about 500 years old and Kings and Queens have stayed there, but its's in pretty bad shape. They aren't rich and do the renovation room by room, depending on money they make from using it as a wedding venue.
Place even has it's own moat!

Might've been mentioned but caught up on Stranger Things. It's being released in 3 parts (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years batches).
It's fun. Definitely more pulpy blockbuster popcorn fare vs the first season's mystery and out of nowhere underdog heart. It's the final season. Interested in how they end it.
Side note- shows need to work on releasing on time. 25 year old men and women playing 15 year old kids riding around on bicycles. Props to Slow Horses for keeping up with a yearly release schedule.

Thanks. Forgot about that one. I'm an old kid!

Netflix is going allin on Hollywood, reportedly buying Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and streaming arm in a massive $82.7B deal.
That means Harry Potter, DC superheroes, and HBO hits could soon live under one Netflix roof alongside its 300M+ subscribers. Regulators are already eyeing the merger but if it goes through, Netflix could emerge as Hollywood's biggest power player.

It will be interesting to see if it goes through.
I don't know if anyone mentioned it but the new predator movie is likable. Pretty high budget and good story which connects itself with the Alien franchise in the movie without being an Alien vs predator movie.
It kinds of gets into the mythology of predator society which I found believable with prior material. Of course its all fiction anyway.

Shane wrote the first one. And preformed in it. When Arnold's commando team was on the chopper, he was the guy in glasses. Also the manager of the cafe who booted Jack Nicholson in "As Good as it Gets" Also the first one to succumb to spine wrenching by the Predator. Met him in Dallas at Dallas Screenwriters. Cool dude

Landman, the West Texas-set oil drama co-created by Taylor Sheridan, has been renewed for a third season, streamer Paramount+ announced Friday.
Inspired by the Texas Monthly podcast Boomtown from Christian Wallace, the series takes a close look at those in the oil industry including tycoons, rig workers and a crisis manager, Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), who bridges these disparate worlds. In Season 2, Norris assumes the operational mantle of M-Tex Oil after the death of his friend and boss, Monty Miller (Jon Hamm)

The dinner fit scene from S2E1.
When they announced that they were going to do a movie version of Wicked, I had hopes it would be good. When they announced that they were doing a two-parter, I was pretty sure I was wrong and that this represented a cynical money grab.
Saw part 2 the other night, and pretty sure I was right on the 2nd opinion. It's not a terrible show. It's just that it has about an hour of junk thrown in that does not help the story at all.
There are good points. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are terrific--especially when they are on stage together. When the focus is on them, the show is good. When it wanders off into trying to explain the Wizard of Oz, it loses steam fast.
Overall, a 2 1/2 hour movie version of the stage play would have been better, but the last hour of part 2 is worth seeing (the first hour, not so much)

I saw Part 1, and all I could think of when Grande was on screen, was "Please, eat something!"

Yeah, she could use a few extra sandwiches. The trend toward ultra-skinny has to be unhealthy.

I remember when this happened when the media pushed Twiggy (English skinny model) to us. And when the Kardashians promoted big butts. It's truly cyclical

Tracker, made it halfway through S3. Rennie got prettier for sure. They finally did some scouting and found different terrains, although shot entirely in Canada. The one set in "Fort Morris" actually lookeed like Big Bend country, desert and all

Watched a couple episodes of The Promised Land. It's on YouTube. It's about Moses leading the Israelites through the desert but shot in the style and tone of the Office. The creators worked on some capacity on The Chosen, so production quality is not your average YouTube show attempt.
Some of the humor requires in depth Old Testament knowledge such as a running gag with Moses' sons.

"Fateful Planet" on Prime Curiosity. Really well done doc on how the galaxy,, the sun and the earth formed. Explains in layman's terms for the most part. Not preachy or anything, more like your HS science teacher

The suck of Landman increasing each week. Sheridan is a one-trick pony.
