June is hibernation month in Southern Arizona with weeks and weeks of sunny, over 100 degree days in a row. Plus this year Mt. Lemmon above Tucson is closed and burning. 75,000 acres burned and no structures lost, the fire crew is doing a great job. No place to escape the heat except our living rooms.

The Bureau
('Le Bureau des Légendes') is about France's big spy organization, the DGSE. The series extends over 5 seasons on Amazon's Sundance Now. I recently watched all 5 seasons of 'The Wire' and although I am only halfway through the first season of The Bureau I can tell it is just as involving with an intricate plot along with complicated characters.



Critic John Powers has a review:

"Created and overseen by Eric Rochant, "The Bureau" is beginning its fifth season on the Sundance Now streaming service. And if you haven't seen it, I would simply note that it may well be the best TV show in the world right now."
