TV Streaming series to talk about.

Just finished episode 20 from season 2 of rewatching Lost for the first time since it ended. I completely forgot about the holy shit moment at the end of this episode.

I have definitely enjoyed the first two episodes of the new season of Only Murders in the Building, though I thought episode 2 was better than episode 1.

It has become even more of a series you shouldn’t pick up in a later season. But fortunately every season has been utterly delightful, so it is not one of those where you have to slog through a season or two of universe building to get to the best parts.

I thought the first season was a little underwhelming. It wasn’t downright bad, but it should have been way better than it was considering how much money Amazon put into it.

I’ll probably watch the second season though because of how much I enjoy the LOTR universe.

Rings of Power looked fantastic but it was a slightly boring slog to me.
 
Slow Horses is back (S4). If you haven’t seen it, it’s very much worth the time. Few shows balance humor, drama, and intrigue like this.

Yep, I love this show. Gary Oldman is fantastic. Agree about the rare balance this show achieves — will add in grief as another emotion deftly handled in what can be a hilarious and tense spy thriller and workplace comedy.

Oldman is at his very best here. IMO, he’s the only real competition for Sanada in the Emmy race for lead actor in a drama series.

Finally convinced Mrs. Fourheels to try it. Some of her favorite shows are GOT, Severance, Breaking Bad, Beef, Freaks and Geeks, and Succession. We'll see how it goes.
 
I REALLY enjoyed the Decameron on Netflix. It didn't hurt that I found a 1955 edition of the book at a local garage sale early this summer, but that's not what I really liked about it (only very loosely based on the book, mostly just the premise). I loved the character arcs for each character as the series progressed. It starts out witty and entertaining, but the real depth of each character is only slowly revealed as the series progresses. Some characters you start out hating you love by the end and vice versa. It's a real ride. The soundtrack is great too.

ETA: Also, the competition for the Emmy for costume design is over for next year (and maybe set design too, for that matter).

That looks interesting.

Have to add it to the list as I've got too many inflight right now.

And my daugher just told me there is a new season of British baking show starting today. 😁
