Just finished Clickbait thought it was pretty good! Interesting plot and... not going to give it away!!

Sweet Girl was fun too.

Start Up. I'm on the third and last season. Interesting characters and somewhat brutal at times, but riveting.

Cowboy Bebop is having a moment. Netflix has both the original anime series and the live action re-boot. Both are fun.

The 1998 anime series was a hit in Japan and the US. The detailed graphics and inventive story lines make each episode a joy to watch. A big plus is the English dubbed version has A-list voice actors and is excellent. Universally recognized as the best anime series ever made, it shares top billing with the 1995 classic anime "Ghost in the Shell".

The NY Times review of the original Cowboy Bebop anime says:
"A 1:1 mix of sci-fi western and film noir, steeped in American jazz and blues and framed by retro James Bond-meets-Blue Note" ¹

The new 2021 Cowboy Bebop sort of follows the same story line as the anime series but with variations. Anime fans looking for a note-by-note remake will be disappointed and invariably will give the series a bad review as seen in the Netflix reviews but taken on it's own it's alright with many of the scenes set as an homage to the original. The action moves right along and I'm never bored.

The new series stars John Cho as Spike Spiegel. John was Saturday Night Live's guest host this Saturday (11-20-21)

I suggest watching at least the first 5 episodes of the anime before the live action, that will give you a good understanding how each episode unfolds and how the characters interact.

Yoko Kanno, the composer who created the iconic core for the anime series returns to create the soundtrack for the new live action re-boot. The music always sounds fresh and exciting.

If you haven't already seen it...AND you have some good subwoofer capabilities, then be sure to watch Dune (2021). It's much better than the original but still just a tad discontinuous in plot development. Still, a really fun watch. And my wife's nik-naks were jumping all over their tabletops.

Finished up Ozark and liked how it ended.

Bosch Legacy on Prime is worth the watch if you liked the series.

Terminal List on Prime is our latest…very good!!

"Dog" is a pretty decent feel good movie. Military dog finds a way to recovery along with the trainer veteran.

I thought "Old Henry" (2021) was really good western.

.Also, "Godless" (2017) was very good as well.

Season 5 Animal Kingdom.

Season 1 of The Witcher was a lot of fun. You can tell they spent a lot of money on it, the production values are high. Surprisingly good acting from the cast, too. They inject a lot of nudity, sex and violence similar to what Game of Thrones did. Although the Witcher is no where near the quality of show that GoT was.

A new Korean series: Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Gets great reviews, and is offbeat and entertaining. Wife and I both like it. Worth checking out.

Have you been tapping into my feed? Exactly what I've been watching, except finished Ozark a couple months ago. Now I'm watching Soviet Storm on Prime, a Russian produced history of WWII from their perspective. Very detailed with two seasons and exact troop movements, relative strengths, bios of the commanders n the field, etc. Very interesting to see Ukraine attacked from the other side, west to east, then back the other way as the Soviet Union takes back territory from Hitler.

That's good to know. I keep getting ads for that.

My family liked both Enola Holmes movies.

My wife and I really liked the Arnold documentary, which splits into three parts: body building; stardom; politics. He really impressed me. He comes clean about a lot. His family story was interesting too. Not to give too much away, but his upbringing pushed him in part to become the way he was.

Painkiller on Netflix is a very good and disturbing docudrama about Perdue Pharma and the opioid epidemic.

Chimp Empire is excellent.

Watched Guy Richies Covenant on Prime last night. Very good and worth the watch!

Lioness on Paramount+ is Taylor Sheridans’ latest series and is very good too!

Who Is Erin Carter on Netflix was fun to watch.

If you’re into sports Kelce on Prime is a good watch.
