If you mean me? No, I haven't seen any of the Fargo series. I want to though.

It is good but the hairstyles and clothes are so jarring in the early seasons.
First episode (they all it a chapter...) of Shogun. I had never read the book, so I don't know what to expect.
5/5 on Ep 1, looks like a great epic FX show!

As a certified Shogun nut, let me tell you you're in for a treat. I read the book when I was in grade school (quite a feat, 1300 pages, seemingly half of it in Japanese) and it's one of the great adventure novels of all time in my opinion.
The 1980 miniseries with Richard Chamberlain was good - a solid effort - but flawed and very well...very 1980's TV movie. Even with Toshiro Mifune.
This series is, in my opinion so far, probably the best thing I've seen on TV in a decade. It's completely faithful to the novel and the performances are flawless. The writing is outstanding - they spent 10 years writing it apparently.
I don't often gush about TV shows but this is an instant classic.

This from Wikipedia:
"A portion of TRW's Lyndhurst campus was developed as Legacy Village. The headquarters building became home to the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute.[20] Demolition of the TRW headquarters building began in October of 2023 and is currently underway.[21][22]"
A Round of Appaulse- Netflix - 4.5/5
A surreal Turkish series. Pretty original and clever. Normally I find most of the foreign content on Netflix (exception being the German content in general, and a few French series/films) to be derivative and uninspired. This was different. A existential comedy of sorts. Even with the translation to English, it holds up pretty well.

The book is great. Read it three times.
Loved the TV show from the 80ies as well, but I tend to like old stuff better than the newly produced.
The new series, well I'll give it a chance.
Started watching Scott and Bailey on Apple TV/Brit Box last night. UK detective show which rolls along well and I like the female cast, very believable in their roles and there are five seasons so it will take you a while to consume. 4.5/5 stars but it’s early days.
Cant wait to view Shogun, think it will be very good.

Butchers Crossing - I was shocked to see this was a movie with Nicholas Cage. The book was fantastic, and often considered one of the top Westerns. The two hour movie couldn't capture the brutality of the book but it was enjoyable and a good portrayal by Cage.
Rating - 4.5/5

I have read the book twice (years ago). I am really enjoying this series!
Watching Law & Order: SVU. Kids know it's daddy's time to relax. Which I definitely need having 10 year old twin boys.
Just finished watching the final season of The Blacklist on Netflix. This show has been one of my guilty pleasures, since it is one of the worst written, flat out stupid shows ever to grace the small screen. Maybe it's James Spader's rendition of Sydney Greenstreet's Guttman character from The Maltese Falcon. Maybe it's the sincerity with which the cast goes through the task of striving to breath some life and credibility into the cardboard characters that kept me watching it, even if sometimes in the background while working. And it's fitting that a bull figures into the series ending, since bull was the overwhelming plot content. Shaggy dogs and MacGuffins in excelsis, cop outs galore, yet I attended, if not watched, every episode. Amoral, pretentious, heart on sleeve sentimentality, no cliché left unearthed, it crept along for a decade. And despite all of its egregious faults I enjoyed it.
1 out of 5 to 4 out of 5, depending.

The Good Shepherd is now on Netflix, it was made in 2006, but I had never seen it. Not bad for a spook flick. 4/5
