Does anyone else watch “This Is Us”? I think it is a really great show. And yes, I understand the preachy leftist claptrap the writers sometimes lob at us. But sometimes they write a perfectly wonderful, exquisitely acted episode like the latest one in which Jack loses his mother. Milo V should earn an Emmy for this episode.
Brothers, sisters, come on down to that river
Guaranteed you'll never be the same
There's a fountain flowing from the heart of the Savior
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
Let that river of life wash it all away

Try AfterLife on NF. It is what the British would call 'droll'. Dry humor.
However it is an interesting story.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Resident Alien season two started last night, hurray!

I wish I could see “The Gilded Age” but it’s on HBO and I don’t have that.

It’s supposed to be like Downtown Abbey but with American families.

Don't miss watching the movie Serenity, 2005 not the 2019 with the same name, afterwards.

STAY CLOSE

Four people, dark secrets, and a past that threatens their lives... Stay Close is the gripping new thriller from Harlan Coben (The Stranger, Safe, The Five) which questions how much you really know someone. Starring Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt, Richard Armitage and Sarah Parish, Stay Close arrives on Netflix December 31.

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME??

Heard Glenn Beck or Buck Sexton raving about this 'new' genre showing up on Netflix.

Now in Episode 3 and I'm STILL not sure WTF is going on!!    :laugh:

I saw the "Dog" movie today.  The political themes were shockingly pro-conservative.  I can't remember the last time.

Is that series any good? We’ve toyed with the idea of watching it.

We loved it, be warned there is an above average amount of nudity, and the language is very rough in parts. That said it is hilarious.

Forced ourselves to sit through "Don't look up"
Save yourself, it is a waste of time.
We did watch Reacher last week on Prime and it was very good.

@verga

Ok,thanks for that review. I was figuring it was for middle-aged spinsters and their cats. Now that I know that it has both nudity AND humor,I'm in!

Watching a Russian tv show titled Sophia about the history of Russia.  ROKU has it dated from 2014-2017,so it has been out there a while now.

It starts in early 1400,before Russia actually became a nation,and was a collection of tiny "kingdoms" that all seem to only be connected through the Russian Orthodox Religion. The CMMF in charge of the Russian Orthodox Church seems to have more real power than any of the nobility.

They even pay yearly tributes to the Mongols to keep them from invading and taking over. Truth to tell,the nobles from the various regions really run the show,and Moscow is only a very weak power dependent on the cooperation of the various outlying regions.

I get the sense that if it weren't for fear of the "Godless Mongols" taking over and the arranged marriages with daughters of influential families,that Moscow would even be a regional power.

Has English subtitles,and is surprisingly good. The acting and production values are top notch.

Since it is an official Russian government program produced by two different Russian ministries,you have to question the accuracy of the history,but isn't this true of EVERYTHING that EVERY government produces these days?

I am watching it on the ROKU channel. See it nowhere else,but that doesn't mean it is not available from any other source. I have a hard time believing it is only available from one source.

I burned through Reacher pretty quick.  They dropped a lot of Georgia references in the series.  But I can assure you that the scene at Five Points was not filmed at Five Points.
