We've been watching "The Good Place" on Netflix. It really is a rather funny show and has had us all in stitches. Got a couple of seasons to catch up on.
Just finished Season 2 of Anne with an E (Netflicks) based on the book Anne of Green Gables, the story of an orphaned teenage girl at the beginning of the 20th Century in Canada. Excellent low key, human interest story. 
I remember when it first started it was critiqued for being too real? Don’t remember the exact reason.

Indian Test Patern. No, thats my screen saver. Politics sucks; college and nfl football sucks; wresting starts soon but since I’m out of doing camps and since working Colorado Springs I’ve lost interest. My last competition was the semis at US national in Las Vegas.
I gave up on football a long time ago. I can casually watch it now and then, especially playoffs or the SB, where I have a favorite based on some obscure reason, dislike, or simply a coin toss. I have a better chance of being vested in the World Series after I’ve ignored the regular season.
The Jack Ryan tv series is on Amazon Prime. Can anyone recommend this?

It’s on my list try out.
S1:Ep1 Good first episode if you are into Middle East/CIA action about a new Bin Laden. Series is respectful to the Arab side of the story. The season has only 8 episodes. I’ll watch another.

Finished the Season 1 final. When Dud shaved, I immediately suspected he was Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s son, and was right! Wyatt Russell.Is anyone watching and enjoying Lodge 49 on AMC? I'm 3 episodes in and although I like the characters, this is such a low key story, part of me is wondering why I continue to watch it. It's about a brother and his sister who lost their Dad a year ago, and the sister is struggling with a loan she cosigned with her Dad. The brother is a super casual person, who used to work with his Dad in a pool business, but since the Dad is presumed dead and the business fell apart, has kind of been drifting in an easy going manner. He finds a Lynx Lodge Ring on the beach and his car just happens to run out of gas as he is unknowingly driving by this lodge. Nothing too mysterious has happened so far, but I get the feeling that something will happen, as the story seems to have some mystical qualities.
Anyway, I'll keep watching for now. :0
AMC’s Lodge 49 is an impossible TV show to describe. I love it.

It’s not particularly easy to explain what Lodge 49 is about, because it’s not really like any other TV show I can think of. Its premise revolves around a Long Beach, California-based lodge maintained by a (fictional) fraternal order known as the Lynx. (Think the Masons or the Elks, but with a stronger record of gender and racial equality than those groups had.) The lodge is an all-purpose hangout for its members, but also seemingly a weirdo portal to some other, more purpose-driven life. It’s sort of, uh, Cheers meets Twin Peaks amid the ruins of late capitalism.
This Show is extremely low key, a minimalist, off beat story, based in Long Beach, California , where not much happens, but I like the atmosphere, the characters, the mysterious lodge element, the emissary from London, and there is a chance for some alchemy, mysticism, and maybe something... else. Looking forward to Season 2. But, I can’t predict how many of the readers in this forum would like it.
Anyone watching Lodge 49?
Yup. Enjoyed it. Fairly similar to how some of its advertising went in that it's in the style of "The Big Lebowski" but as a TV show.Finished the Season 1 final. When Dud shaved, I immediately suspected he was Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s son, and was right! Wyatt Russell.

Started watching Season 2 of "Black Lightning". Wow! Great stuff and even more powerful a start to the season than last year. Very timely and not afraid to speak to the issues. Season 1 was great, but Season 2 looks like it's going to be even better.
Jack Ryan S1:E2- International locals, Paris is prominent in this episode, taught action. I’m hooked for 6 more episodes.
Well, while we are enjoying Black Lightning, so far, we can add in "The Flash", too. Good season opener and I'm looking forward to their yearly series crossover between all the shows. Looks like it'll be great. On the "what I'm waiting for" front, I can hardly wait for "The Legends of Tomorrow" to return. It looks like this season is going to be bonkers.
If you track a lot of shows for viewing, I reccomend The Television Time App. It list episodes, original air dates, a brief description of each episode, and gives you a heads up when the next season starts.
