I couldn't get into it at all. I've gone through all of Morse (took a bit to get into him), Lewis, Endevor, Death in Paradise (first 8 seasons), Beyond Death in Paradise, and a few other series, a lot of bing watching when i got laid off, Shetland was the only one i just gave up on.
Watching all the Rugby test matches as the Northern Hemisphere teams tour the south. All Blacks beat the English, Wallabies beat Wales and the Spring Boks beat Ireland. 5/5 and viewed on our local sports provider STAN.
Scoop! Netflix, 2024. 4.5/5. Gillian Anderson, Rufus Sewall. Story around interview with Prince Andrew that led to his "reduced duties" and stripping of titles. Edit, I think it was maybe medals he was stripped of.
Sewall is an amazing actor. Wonder how they got his cheeks puffed out to resemble the disgraced Prince.

rewatching Hardcore Henry. 5/5 for super adrenaline non-stop holy sheeeeet action!! Now on Tubi

Hardcore Henry (2016)
A man who is brought back from death as an amnesiac goes on a bloody rampage to save the woman who is his wife from a horde of bionic killers.
Just finished watching HiJack on Apple +. It's an intense 7 hour miniseries that tracks events on an airliner being hijacked en route to London. Each 1 hour episode covers 1 hour of the flight. No spoilers, but as the events unfold there will be unexpected twists and turns. If you think that you know what's going on, think again. Absolutely edge of your seat first rate.
5 out of 5

A co-worker was aghast today, because I had never watched "L.A. Confidential". Just started, rating to follow.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. 5/5 Apple TV
Watched this years ago, and didn't have a clue what happened. Now, after reading some of the LeCarré novel, and watching it again, twice in parts, it all makes sense. For me, it's a victory, and an enjoyable one, even though I had to part with four bucks to rent it.

Just finished the last episode of Deadwood. It seemed like they didn’t get the last season and got a movie in exchange. Too bad, they deserved to finish the story.
4.5/5.0

I can't recall seeing this but there appears to be two:
The 2011 movie, with Gary Oldham
1979 TV series, with Alec Guinness
It was the Oldham version, with an incredible cast.
I saw the movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare yesterday and it blew my mind. I had no idea it was based on true events. I loved it. Those guys had guts. What they did was to be admired. I would definitely give it a 4/5.
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning 5/5, on Amazon now. Long movie and a "part 1." Cruz still delivers.
True Confessions, Season 4. HBO/MAX.
I won't rate this, as I don't like the genre. I will say it is very different from the first three seasons which had little or no supernatural plot/action. Those were all 4+ or 5's for me.

This morning the wife and I watched the CBS SUNDAY MORNING show and they had a feature about the author of a new series called BAD MONKEY. It looked like it might be good for a laugh so I downloaded it. Just got through watching about half the episode and deleted it. What is supposed to be clever chatter is just stupid and irritating, and the rest was boring as hell. Oh, well, I tried. 
Finally watched the new Ghostbusters film, Frozen Empire over the weekend on Netflix.
Admittedly I was a little hesitant after seeing the trailer, but I was impressed enough with Afterlife that I thought it at least worth a watch. (Not impressed enough with the trailer to spend money on the theater experience however.) Boy am I glad I waited to watch it at home.
Frankly, it was terrible. I don't know what else to say about it. Story was bad. Character development was poor. There wasn't much in the way of busting ghosts. As much as I disliked the all female reboot flick, I'd even rank Frozen Empire below that one. (1/5*)
Ryan George does a good job of summing up the film below, and pretty much nails everything about the movie that raised my eyebrows.
