Yeah. I was surprised. It's so much fun. The entire cast are great comedic actors.

Started off my weekend by watching the s2 finale of Ted Lasso tonight. Great episode! Though now I am hoping time will continue to fly by so fast that s3 will be here before we know it.
Afterwards, ended up binging Squid Games after hearing all the hype …🤯 Just WOW. I still have a few more episodes to watch but I think it’s worth the hype.

I fell for the Paramount+ bundle with Showtime and local (well, regional for us boondocks dwellers) live TV. The $130 annual hit for the premium no-ads option seemed fair to me. So I might finally catch up on at least a few of series originally carried by CBS that assorted friends kept recommending to me after I chose to cut the cable TV cord back in 2004.
Heh, yeah it could look like I am engaging in voodoo math by pretending that an annual billing doesn't affect my monthly budget. But I use a worksheet to plan my billpays so I do set aside reserves to cover stuff like annual subscriptions. Not sure my grandma would have thought that an annual payout for movies qualified for use of "rainy day" money, but she was the one told me it never hurts to have some flex in the household accounts. Let it rain, Paramount+ is covered!

“The Billion Dollar Code” on Netflix. A bit of computer history based on a true story. 4 episodes about 1h each. It’s telling the story of Terra Vision and how it was stolen by Google to later become Google Earth. It’s a German production, very well done with good acting and great story telling.
Anyone who enjoyed “Halt and Catch Fire” will probably like this as well. Highly recommended.

Just starting “Person of Interest” on prime TV - 5 episodes in (season 1) and so far I like it
- looks like 5 seasons more - so it could keep me busy fo a while 👍

Squid Game on Netflix. This show is insane.
I know I don't think it is brilliant, but it is pretty insane on what they have these folks do. I don't think it is original either.
It's also the only show where even after watching 6 episodes I couldn't tell you the name of a single character except Ali.
Murder She Wrote
Amazing show that ran over 10 seasons with the perfect amount of formula. Angela Lansbury didn't age the whole time.

Towards the end it got a little tired with Jessica always being able to dupe the guilty into admitting their crimes, but we happily watched it for years.
Up noth heyah, if you stop and ask directions of certain locals, they'll point you in the direction of the fictional Cabot Cove. That's just how much they appreciate your visit. Tom Bosley's terrible accent still gets mentioned in conversations all these years later.

Rewatched Daredevil on Netflix. I really liked it, as well as Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Gonna alternate rewatching seasons of each. JJ next then LC.
You’re definitely not alone in that assessment - it was ok but nothing brilliant in my opinion. Rewatch factor is close to zero for me.

Just started "In the Heat of the Night" and so far am impressed. I always thought of Carroll O'Connor as a commedian from All in the Family days, but this is completely different.
Going back a ways with this one. I used to watch this with my father... I haven't seen it since, but from what I remember it was a good show.
You will be impressed with this show. In this show, O'Connor is the complete opposite of the worst that he has ever done as Archie Bunker. It won him quite a few NAACP awards.
In fact, this show made syndication and it is still on today, after having been off the air since around 1995. Funnily enough, given some race relations going on in the US now, this show could easily be apropos to today's society.
BL.
I binged this yesterday during a long rainy day.
While a little on the long-winded side, I thought this was an amazing series with
possibly the most unique take on the vampire mythos that I've ever seen.
