Started The Right Stuff and I’m really enjoying it. Sure it has that Disney feel but it’s more of the Remember the Titans vibe than a straight up Disney production.
Just started the new season of Fargo and im hooked already. Although it might have just a dash too much of the zany humor. |

When the season ends I'll probably binge The Right Stuff. Then check out the movie that everyone loves so much. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

Finished S1 Warrior. Penelope took over her father's business. Ah Sahm put on the suit again. Have to give casting A+. There are some beautiful women in the series. I'll start on S2 sometime tomorrow. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Are they ever!!
The fight and sex scenes distract from the storyline which is, gaining power. I'm up to date. I've viewed all aired episodes. Episode 8 airs tonight. Next week the season's finale.
It didn't dawn on me that Young Jun was the son of Father Jun until Father Jun burned him out and he took charge of Hop Wei. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

The Hop Wei gang is the best part of the show. Young Jun is my favorite character. Really, that story could be a show to itself. An Asian American time-piece. A mixture of Peaky Blinders and Sons of Anarchy set in past San Francisco. Fortunately the other plot lines in Warrior deliver as well. There are always some unexpected surprises. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

Working on my top 10 list for 2020.
Gangs of London: 5 stars
Zerozerozero: 5 stars
What We Do in the Shadows: 5 Stars
Perry Mason: 4 Stars
The New Pope: 4 Stars
Raised by Wolves: 4 stars
Barry: 4 stars
Maybe Fargo and Warrior make my list when they are done.
Honorable mentions for: Godfather of Harlem and Watchmen. Shows that would definitely make my top 10 list but came out very very late 2019. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

@kikanga Other than Lovecraft Country 👎🏾your picks have been solid. I'm gonna start a Fargo binge sometime today. The Fargo featuring Chris Rock. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

The first couple episodes are character development. So maybe it's a little slow. But once the pieces are set, things pick up steam quickly. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

Just getting started. Lorne Malvo, Billy Bob Thorton, is a stoic cold blooded killer.
When does Chris Rock make his first appearance? Bob Odenkirk, Saul in better call Saul, is in the series. He has a mustache.
Couldn't get into Watchmen. Is there going to be another season of God Father of Harlem? I'm liking that one. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Each season of Fargo has a completely different cast. Completely different story. I think Billy Bob was in season 1. Rock is season 4. Some think seasons 2 and 3 are the best. You are in for a long journey.
I'm sure GoH will get a 2nd season. Might be a while with COVID though. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

I finished season 1. Grimly got his man. That hole that kept showing up got Lester. This is not another Lovecraft Country. I like it. If 2 & 3 are better like you say, I'm in for a long journey.

Honestly, I can't remember how I rank the first 3. It's been a while. Seasons 1 and 2 came out in '14 and '15. Season 3 in '17.
Been a while since I've seen them. But I do remember enjoying them a ton. And I had to wait week to week between episodes. It's a show that must be a blast to binge for you. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

Mandalorian S2 E4. Moff Gideon, Giancarlo Esposito, Gus Fring from Better Call Saul, lives. I didn't know Gina Carano was a MMA fighter. I wonder if she does her own fight scenes? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I enjoyed The Right Stuff...it is a family show mostly, but still very entertaining and a break even for those that prefer the more edgy shows of the day. Kind of a reminder that those guys walked a fine line of bravery and certified crazy for what they were doing at the time. |

I liked GoH, but with those type of shows, you know there is a limited story because Bumpy Johnson was a real person, and we know he had an expiration date that was not in his 90's. The show basically begins in the last 3-5 years of Bumpy's life. |

I am liking the new show on Hulu...A Teacher. Maybe it is just me wishing I had a teacher that looked like Kate Mara when I was in high school that wanted to hook up....nevertheless, I find it entertaining.
Also, The Undoing on HBO has been solid. |

Finished watching the mini series "The Great Heist" on Netflix. It's somewhat based on a real heist in 1994 in Colombia.
Not bad. Easy entertainment. I think there were 6 episodes overall.
I happen to love heist movies/shows, even the bad ones. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |
