"I must be dreaming".
Honor Blackman tended to have that effect on people. Classy lady, rest in peace.

And tomorrow, sadly as a tribute to the headliner himself, my dvds of The Virginian season 1. Rest in peace James Drury.

Although I watch modern TV too, as a fan of older TV and movies (especially 1960s and 1970s, Quinn Martin and cop/detective shows), sadly many actors I see on DVD are now passing. However, I am glad to be able to enjoy and appreciate the work of many whilst still around.

And meet quite a few too.👍
 
For those people with prime, I would recommend watching Some Like It Hot.

I watched it probably 10 years ago, and it's the best comedy movie I've ever seen.
 
I've run out of shows to watch. Pretty much cleaned out my TiVo.

Found a YouTube channel that has full episodes of one of my favorite shows growing up, Unsolved Mysteries.

Forgot how awesome that show was.
 
My regular Motortrend On Demand subscription was scheduled to run out next month and since I didn't really use it much for anything except WEC live races, I switched over to a subscription through Amazon Prime. On Amazon Prime I can stream all of the old seasons of Top Gear through my smart tv so that has given me plenty to watch over the past couple of weeks or so. Yesterday I watched the one with the under £10,000 mid engine Italian supercar challenge where Jeremy's Maserati Merak hand grenaded it's engine in a shower of metal all over James who was following behind :lol:
 
I still haven't seen any of the new stuff since Matt LeBlanc left but I hear it's decent?

I don't think BBC America is showing it here right now. I know they showed the first season after Matt left but I haven't seen any of this last season. The one season they showed was fairly decent as you say.
 
Currently watching:
Vagrant Queen on SyFy
Harley Quinn on DC Universe

Catching up on:
Young Justice S3 on DC Universe
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina S3 on Netflix

Have recently watched:
Picard on CBS All Access
The Mandalorian on Disney +

Looking forward to:
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power S4 on Netfix
Carmen Sandiego S3 on Netflix

I strongly recommend Vagrant Queen if you haven't seen it yet. Yes, the CGI and effects budget are clearly second tier, but show actually uses it to their advantage to have some fun. Great writing, an excellent cast, and a clever story make it one of my favorite shows.

I also recommend Harley Quinn. Violent, sexy, empowering, and exceptionally well-written. This show is hitting all the right buttons.
 
I just finished all episodes of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Now started The Wire.

I am waiting for the next season of Better Call Saul.

Have you seen Ozark ? I have been recommended Ozark, but after the first episode and starting the 2nd, I am quite not yet on the bandwagon of Ozark, for some reason the style of it is a bit too serious for my taste, compared to the Breaking Bad "ecosystem".


How is the wire compared to BB and BCS?

Watch the two below: (if you have Netflix)


I was taking my time with this because I enjoyed so much everything about it, but finally I just finished
Formula 1 Drive to Survive on Netflix !!

I like how at the end, they all try to make prediction for the new 2020 years, but everything now is pretty much gone out of the window... Only Kimi R statement is true... "This is just a hobby" LOL!

And this one, which I truly enjoy so much, I don't know how many more episodes I have left on seasons 4 but I am already looking forward to seasons 5:

Episode 7 of Season 4 is satisfying because it all comes back together...

Destiny is All !
 
I just finished season 5 of She-ra on Netflix and wow spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler.
 
I was too young to watch this and i guess wouldn't care for it then....

from time to time, i hear the name "twin peaks" come up during the late 90s... but never knew what it was about...

So this past weekend, i decided to give it a go and check it out:
twin_peaks_tv_series-401853658-large.jpg



Surprisingly it is quite good... i now understand why this TV Shows, which i thought it was a movie, was the talk of the town!

I never realized how old it is:

Checking this out:

It's not too bad... The Lame ridiculous jokes are pretty funny...


Edit: I didn't know but apparently it's currently the #1 show on Netflix in the US...
 
I finally watched all of Love, Death, and Robots which is on Netflix. Lots of unnecessary gratuitous nudity and a few of the usual sci-fi tropes used predictably but overall it was fun to watch.
 
Due to the current times, I watched Bad Boys For Life. The tactics used in the movie were not completely out of line with what we have seen shown on the news.
 
I just watched the final episode of Vagrant Queen on SyFy. It’s low budget and it shows, but the story, writing, and acting are all excellent. I’m really hoping for a second season.

I AM NO LONGER HERE.

ON NETFLIX

A movie about : being away and far from your homies, and trying to find acceptance despite looking and being slightly different...

I haven't finished it yet... Watching it in 3 sessions and so far I am enjoying discovering it...

I started watching this after I saw your post. I think I'm about 4 episodes in and yeah it's......different. They're short like Adult Swim length episodes which I like.
 
The hot new series on HBO is Perry Mason. It's noire, pulpy, violent and raunchy. Top actors and big budget. It's all about the origin story, what came well before the classic TV Perry Mason.
