OK ... IF you want to know .... Elsa .... it's worth watching @mystery-ak The ending has a little twist in it as well.

Ugg... that is what PMs are for... O well, she was an headstrong idiot. Why they had to make the series with that much cursing? Sorry even with the actors they had, I just thought the series was cringe-worthy to sit though. YMMV of course.

PM me @Gefn (or anyone else) if you need a link to download the season of 1883, I will hook ya up (and good speed to download them).

Been enjoying a series called "The Gilded Age".... Nice period piece with just a few flakes of wokism in it (getting worse though).

"Redeeming Love" movie looked to be good but had to border on too much sex (without showing too much) to be considered a Christian movie. I liked it, but wife was appalled. Sorta a copy of "Love Comes Softly" but without the class.

Liked the TV series "Reacher" (Amazon I think) but it had two scenes that didn't have to be in it (sexual). Little far fetched, but a good revenge story with several intelligent leads. Figure it would appeal to a male audience like myself.

Goodness gracious. For that amount of money, I sure hope he writes dialogue better! Not a fan…but I do appreciate his cinematography.

I like Westerns and it's been awhile since a new 'western' themed series has surfaced. I'm really enjoying both shows.

The language and the violence is at times a bit much, but yes, I too like the cinematography.

Just watched 8 episodes of Cowboy Bebop on Netflix. It was okay, but the 9th episode was boring backstory, so I stopped.

Lol, just telling my side of the story... Like I said... YMMV on what you like.

Thanks DC for the Western suggestion (Old Henry). Hope it is as good as the trailer presented (sorta gave a bit too much of the plot, like a lot of them do).

Paramount+ 1883 is the prequel to Yellowstone which is on Paramount.

Ah! I haven’t seen Yellowstone. And I don’t get Paramount. However my mom does. So maybe when I go each week to see her I can sneak an episode or two.

Or I should get a subscription. All the new Star Trek shows are coming up in March.

Gefn · « **Reply #1182 on:** February 28, 2022, 09:16:12 am »

Btw-If anyone can catch a tv series from 2019 called “Chernobyl”, it’s a must see in my book.

The acting, the script- I can’t say enough. Show was on HBO. I bought it outright from iTunes.

I couldn't make it past the third or fourth episode. Drama with no purpose. Folks saying it is like Dallas ain't far off. It sure as heck ain't Montana.

@roamer_1

I personally LOVED the scenery. If they would just remove all the actors and broadcast the scenery,I would be a faithful viewer.

So ... Ifound this article -- 1883 was meant to be short lived. So, I'm not expecting a season 2 -- I think it will jump to the newer prequel 1932.

LOL! You guys will fall for anything. (just kidding)

I'll bet that for the right price, Yellowstone will continue.

Hell, they can make the entire climax of the last episode a 'Dream'

Pretty good story... (no nudity, bloody, cursing here and there). Also give it 8/10

This coming weekend I'll view the second installment.

You're welcome! Glad you liked it. (saw your latest post)

Enjoyed it so much, I watched it again already!

THE NIGHTENGALE

Set in 1825, Clare, a young Irish convict woman, chases a British officer through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. On the way she enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy, who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.

*****************************

At first, I thought this was going to be another scripted Netflix theme done a thousand times.

Let me suggest to you this movie will NEVER leave you. Heartbreaking yet perversely thrilling.

I agree with some Briefers in their belief that bidet will somehow screw up the Billion Year Experiment we have ongoing. Explains why I'm spending so much time on my new deck.

I cannot believe this is the same actor who stars in OLD HENRY!

Watched a show on Prime called REACHER. Very odd show. It starts out as a Rambo remake, then goes into a Mr. Monk impersonation, then quickly goes into a kind of Batman/Superman remake, all the while clinging to a Chuck Norris type attitude.

Very odd show. This guy can get hit in the head dozens of times with a crowbar at full swing, and still pull out of it.

It is a Great show for a 15-18yr old boy, but not much else. A kind of superhero menagerie, like a comic book when I was a kid.

If you like that kind of Rambo/Norris kind of nonsense, you will love it. But it is mostly for teenage hormonal boys.

I have taken on the Herculean task of binge-watching ALL the various versions of Law and Order.

The original Law and Order has been on the air for 23 years now,and the newest version is in the second year.

There is the original Law and Order

Law and Order SVU (SEXUAL VICTIMS UNIT)

Law and Order Organized Crime

And finally,Law and Order UK,which is on it's 10th year now.

And ALL of them are great shows.

The people who created the original show and did all the writing now own all the franchises,and as near as I can tell,are probably having to burn some money every day to get rid of it because it's just too damn much trouble to count it.

You have forgotten Law & Order Criminal Intent, which is probably my favorite after the original series.

Yes, absolutely. Eames and Goren!

Not sure I like the new season of the original. Something seems missing, but they’ve only shown two episodes.

I miss Lenny Briscoe.
