I did watch the premiere of Fargo Season 4, Sunday night. It started out a little slow, and a nearly three hours, was too much. But, I remain optimistic based on the cast and previous seasons.
I'm nearly done with Season 1 of "The Killing". (from 2011) Whoever recommended that here, thanks, it's quite good! Not sure how I missed it live (guess Breaking Bad & The Walking Dead were just starting, not enough tv time?)

Started watching Ratched. Mixed feelings, it has an interesting atmosphere and shooting but I can't help but intensely hate the lead character. Of course I've read the book, and seen Cuckoo's Nest, so I know we're meant to hate this character, but it is too much for me.
I just started the 4th season of Fargo. Based on the past 3 seasons and the skills of Noah Hawley, I have no reservations of giving it a 5. These Fargo series are amazing! A great ode to the Coen Brothers!

I’m thinking about watching that but I can’t stand that actress after some of her roles in the worst seasons of American Horror Story. All of those seasons are absolutely TERRIBLE except seasons 1 & 2.
In my opinion, of course.
I'm not a Sarah Paulson fan either, those FX shows were not to my liking. However, she was very good in "Mrs. America", we really enjoyed that short series.
i stumbled across the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast series on Amazon last night and watched S1E2 where they roasted Redd Foxx. I can't tell you how many times I laughed out loud, but watching this turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. The humor is 1970's and VERY much non-PC. Very little of it felt dated though and it really held up well. Solid 4 out of 5 stars. I'll watch other episodes...
Started the series My Mother and Other Strangers last night.
It's set in Northern Ireland, WW2 about the culture clash between a small Irish village and a brand new American Airbase making bombing runs over Germany.
It is also a Masterpiece Theater series, but I really have a hard time understanding the Irish. I need to find a way to turn on subtitles. About 90% of the conversations the Irish have get lost on us. But, the acting seems great, as well as the period costumes and the beautiful landscapes.

I feel like she has done some good work but the AHS series almost ruined her for me. I’m not totally giving up on her though. I haven’t seen Mrs. America but I just looked it up and looks interesting. I’ll have to add that to the queue.
Ozark was really good and was looking forward to some new stuff. There are so many shows I haven't seen. I'm regularly surprised at how I can stumble on a show that's been out for years, that I've never heard of, and get sucked in.
I had the same problem with the Brit accents in Legend (Netflix
out of 5 stars), but it was still a really great movie, as well.
Just watched Bombshell on Amazon Prime, it's the story of how Roger Ailes was brought down by sexual harassment allegations at FOX NEWS. Charlize Theron plays Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman is Gretchen Carlson and John Lithgow does a great job as Roger.
It wasn't bad, maybe a 3/5

Bombshell. I'd go 3.5/5 both for the actresses and for the incredible acting jobs by Lithgow and McDowell.
Yes Malcom McDowell wasn't in it very long but he did a top notch job as always. I thought Lithgow absolutely nailed Roger Ailes.
Roger certainly had his dark side but you can't deny he was a genius at what he did. From helping Nixon, Reagan and George Bush Sr become President to creating the ratings juggernaut that is FOX NEWS. He definitely had an incredible career.

I’ve been working my way through Cary Grant’s movie catalog. Tonight I’m watching To Catch a Thief. Yesterday was I Was a Male War Bride.
Good Stuff!!
Good Stuff!!
^ "To Catch A Thief" is a favorite here, ash. "Arsenic and Old Lace" is another good Grant vehicle.
Both 5's here.
