As I have mentioned before, Really hoping there will be a Season 3 of Project Blue Book. Just like Ozark, it had a definite cliff hanger at the end of Season 2.

In any event, this is fascinating, and making me salivating for Season 3:

'Project Blue Book' Boss Talks #HyneQuinn & That Explosive Season Finale

'We're like 51 percent or maybe more 'alien conspiracy' and 49 percent 'there's nothing to this,'' showrunner David O'Leary says.

Still enjoying "Kim's Convenience" on Netflix. It has actually been renewed for another 2 seasons (5 & 6), but of course with the virus, not sure when they can do any actual filming.

Episode 8 of "Better Call Saul" on tonight, and next Sunday, the premiere of Season 3 of "Killing Eve".

Solid list! I was curious about Fringe, and it's on Prime, it's one of the "Free with ads" selections.

I seem to recall it took Fringe most of the first season to find its legs, but once it did, it was excellent.

Yeah, I remember really digging on it, incredible cast - you're right, as I recall it went from bottle episodes with a slight suggestion that paranormal events had some kind of connection, to that connection being the core plot line, and jumping all over multiple universes. Might be a fun "at the desk" rewatch (I run series I've seen before while I'm working, so it's not totally distracting :D)

HBO is actually offering the opportunity to watch some of their series for free for the month of April. The Sopranos is one of them.

So I looked through the HBO list (USA today had published a list of the free streaming offer in detail) and there are a lot of things I have not seen... I'm thinking to home in on Succession since there are only a couple seasons, so I can probably see them both.

There are only 2 more episodes to go this season, so you have quite a lot of catching up to do.

My wife and I love Better Call Saul. What a great Breaking Bad spin-off.
Click to expand...
Yes, excellent show. As it is, Bob Odenkirk has been in quite a few high profile series, and a couple of movies. Most people do not give him the well-deserved credit for playing the sheriff in Fargo - Season 1 who takes over the department after the former sheriff is killed in Episode 1. Interestingly, it is not that easy to recognize him with the way he was made up. But one can tell it's him by his voice.

He was also very good n the excellent movie The Post, which had quite a few well known actors and actresses.

And then of course there is Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

He was genius in Mr. Show with David Cross, and a very prolific writer (mostly comedy) for SNL, Conan, Ben Stiller. He's like a lot of really smart comedians, he easily pivoted into dramatic, and even very dark roles (like Williams, Carrey).

War of the Worlds.

Epix is available free on Apple TV+, and I saw it front and center in their app. So far, I am on episode 7 of 8.

My wife and I also started "The Sinner" on Netflix. Not bad so far.
Click to expand...

The Sinner is pretty fantastic, it's a total switch up on the typical procedural type storyline, with the reveal right up front of who committed the crime. It works backwards, from this is who did, but __why__? Excellent performances, nicely directed, Bill Pullman is super interesting, great acting with a perfect nuanced hint of something not quite right with him.

Both seasons are outstanding, S2 is a totally different story, with the connecting tissue being Pullman's character (Harry Ambrose). We're working on S3, it should hit other services in a few months :)
