LOL. Absolutely no comparison! The "school" here is a school for assassins. Henry Rollins plays one of the teachers and the headmaster is played by Benedict Wong (of "Dr. Strange"). The typical teen problems here are surviving tests and the cliques. This is not your typical teen drama!

Abbey (2019 NBC)- A new 30 minute sitcom about a veteran, who has opened a neighborhood bar in her backyard in San Diego. I watched the pilot and second episode, and it feels very much like a retro Cheers, but kinda basic and vanilla and not nearly as sharp as Everyone Love Raymond, Seinfeld, or Modern Family which have changed my expectations for broadcast comedies.

When I first saw a commercial for this my initial thought was a reboot of Cheers.

The Order (2019 Netflix)- A secret society, magic at school, I made it though 1.5 episodes before calling it quits. After Harry Potter and The Magicians, this story struck me as shallow and cliched.

Umbrella Academy (2019 Netflix)- Compared to the previous title, much more energetic and creative. About six grown up, gifted (think super hero or XMen) people who were adopted by a billionaire as infants. They reunite after their step-father’s death. I’ve finished episode 1.


We watched it all last month. It really was an enjoyable series and I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Just finished Umbrella Academy, Season One. This is a great series, intriguing plot, colorful characters, a group of grown up gifted people, their dysfunctional family life, time travel and... the apocalypse is coming, how do we stop it? Good music, action, an unexpected ending, and it’s renewed for Season 2! :D

However it won’t be for everyone.

It reminds me of a Preacher, where there similar to its Heaven, in this story, there is a time continuum, made of people, whose job is to keep the time line for lack of a better word, pure. Any person, that threatens a predetermined path of events, is terminated by time traveling assassins. Just forget about the paradoxes, and go with the flow.

How did your office mates like it? It was fine with me.

Watching a recorded PBS version of 'Les Misérables'. Enjoyed the book when I was younger.
All seemed to enjoy it. Mostly just setting the scene.
The biggest complaint was there is only 5 episodes left!

Looks like I should have watched the CL football. A bit of a goal fest. 5 goals in the first 20 minutes.

I put PBS on hold to watch Man City/Spurs match, it looks interesting.

We've been catching up on "Legends of Tomorrow". I love this wacky superhero show. They really do not take things seriously and that's a nice change!
