Pretty good.

I liked them (Midsomer) too... Watched the whole series years back...

I found Season 3 of All Creatures Great and Small and so far it has continued to be one of the best shows on TV. Loving this 3rd Season almost as much as the first two season.

Watched 8 par mini series on Netflix, "Unstable" with Rob Lowe. Dark comedy parts are vey funny other parts are just silly.

Foyle's War ... Period drama/mystery/detective show set during WWII ... fairly intelligent lead detective series (like seven seasons)... good war time crime with interesting insight here and there. Only 4 shows a season for some reason. All can be found on Youtube for free.

Average rating 7/10 (some better some worse all fairly decent)

I saw the latest Left Behind movie last night on Prime. Came out last month and thought it was really good.

Alas, it’s a rental, so it was $4.99 but I had a $4.76 credit from Amazon so it was 25 cents.

Hubby and I drove 2+ hours yesterday to see the new movie “Nefarious”. It’s written and produced by the same people who did “Unplanned” and “God’s Not Dead”. I’ve not seen either of those, but this movie is not the usual Christian sappy schlock. It’s very well done and extremely thought provoking. It’s a movie that challenges your worldview. FYI it’s loosely based on C.S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters.

One of those God Isn't Dead was decent...

But honestly I have yet to find a better Christian series than "The Chosen" which has a 9.4 IMBD placing it in the top 5 tv shows of all time... (for a while it lead actually). I didn't believe it until I started watching the show for myself... and it is good... somewhat slow at times but it pays towards the end. The Chosen was crowd funded to make it, and the acting/dialog is spot on... It takes Biblical tales and personalizes it in a believable way (very Jewish and often witty)... It isn't too preachy but you catch Biblical references throughout the series if you have lightly read the Bible.

My rating... 10/10 (highest I can give).... but according to others, the series seems to be just as highly regarded.

Paul also had an affliction that was never healed... He said it kept him humble. I understand that.

PM if you need a link to watch.

Went to see "Renfield". Funny, gory, very dark Comedy. The makeup artist deserves an award for the work he did on Cage. Looked a lot like Bella Lugosi.

The wife and just finished binge-watching The Offer, which is about the making of The Godfather. It was created by Godfather producer Al Ruddy who detailed all the hoops he had to jump through to get the flick made. A little fiction in the movie but it mostly relates true stories. The stuff about the input from the Mafia, specifically Joe Colombo was news to me. The guy who plays Bob Evans, Brit actor Matthew Goode is outstanding.

A realistic Swedish movie called "The New Land" from 1972. One of the best realistic movies of early settlers in America. Gritty pioneers, deals with family/greed/religion/Indians/death/Civil War and all in between. About 3 hours long...

Rating 9/10. Can watch for free... link below, but will not allow stream here.

I have not been able to find the first of the story (struggles in Sweden and trip to America) which was a previous movie. If someone has a link I would love to watch it.

Now binge-watching Dan Duryea flicks. Greatest all time movie villain. I've seen Winchester 73 umpteen times just because of Duryea who is at his slimiest best in the oater.

Funny show.

goatprairie · « **Reply #67 on:** May 09, 2023, 01:05:19 am »

The wife and I finished watching "Rabbit Hole" with Kiefer Sutherland. A complete waste of time. Sutherland is some sort of computer whiz who spies for hire on other corporations. He gets accused of a murder and goes on the run.
Usually Sutherland is pretty good in anything, but not this. For one thing most of scenes looked like they were filmed at midnight with one dingy candle. You can't hardly see anything that's going on. I don't know what possesses so many modern film and tv series creators to make it almost impossible to see what's going on.
The plot itself is extra confusing.
And, of course, everybody liberally uses the f word in all situations.
I won't give away the ending in case anybody here is watching, but it's one series I wish I never started watching.

Enjoyed the first few seasons. But it went on way too long. The last season was forced.

Just watched FERRY on Netflix.

Choose ENGLISH/ENGLISH SUBTITLES instead of the standard Dutch.

This is in the same genre as LILLYHAMMER, also on Netflix.

4.5 out of 5 popcorns!

"The Diplomat" starring Keri Russell (The Americans) it is about a woman who wass supposed to be a diplomat in the middle east. She is transferred to England, with her former diplomat Husband. A British aircrat carrier is attacked at sea by the Russians posing as Iranians trying to provoke WWIII. Very well done.

@Gefn There is a lot of dropping the F-bomb, and some nudity, but he story is very compelling and highly believable given the current political climate..
