For the last few months I've been watching "New Tricks," a BBC program, streaming on hulu. A cast of eccentric characters working unsolved or open cases for the police. 3 old geezers and a younger woman who's the boss. Has a great theme song and I appreciate that it's all crime without gore.

I absolutely loved “New Tricks”! After watching the last episode I found myself missing the characters so much.

Tried watching St. Denis (NBC and Peacock); couldn't get into it, bailed before the end of the first episode. It was just meh IMO (which is too bad because there are a lot of good actors in it; they should've hired better writers but knowing the moneybags pod people who run the network, were too cheap to.)

I didn't make it through the first episode of St. Denis. It's pure nonsense.
 
I started watching Say Nothing on Friday and am now on episode 6. It is streaming on Hulu but is an FX show. I never read the book but from what I understand the book was very in depth about the subject and the TV show just covers a small part of the book. The show does not hold back on the subject matter so there is a lot of violence and cursing. Once I am finished with the show I probably will read the book.

Synopsis:
"The TV series "Say Nothing" is a gripping historical drama that delves into the tumultuous era of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It follows the lives of individuals caught up in the conflict between Irish Catholics and British Protestants, particularly focusing on the involvement of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA).

The series is based on the non-fiction book "Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland" by Patrick Radden Keefe. It explores the abduction and murder of Jean McConville, a widowed mother of ten, by the IRA. The show weaves together the personal stories of various characters, including those involved in the IRA, the British Army, and the civilian population, as they navigate the complex and often brutal realities of the conflict.

Just watched Yellowstone episode 2 of the new season - love how they show more of the 6666 Ranch, where my Grandpa worked as a cowboy before I was even born.

It was followed by Landman with Billy Bob Thornton. I think Landman will do really well. Very, very good. Permian Basin oil business with a little cartel activity.

I may see if Paramount has a Black Friday deals and sign up just to see the other episodes of Landman.

Glad to hear good reports about Landman. I'm a big BBT fan. Plan to start it tonight. They've released two at once, then one weekly afterwards.

BTW that's interesting about your Grandpa's working at that ranch. And I haven't even seen Yellowstone...:cool:

Yep he would always come home smelling like burn hair from branding. He was a real character! He would disappear down to Mexico for "cultural exchange" which infuriated my Grandma!

I too am watching this, and loving it. I read an article that praised it for being much better than the usual sloppy portrayals of The Troubles.

I finished it last night. It's one of the best "mini series" I have watched in awhile. I will be reading the book sometime in the future. I read a couple of reviews criticizing that the show leaned towards giving some sympathy to the sisters but I didn't think it did. I thought the show did it's best keeping a neutral point of view. I might feel differently after reading the book.
 
I'm completely caught up in Bridgerton. It's on Hulu and Netflix. Corny 18th/19th century romantic story, gorgeous interiors and palaces, and the clothes are exquisite. And some of them are ridiculous I think a lot of the series is meant as a satire. The queen, for instance, wears a different elaborate wig or hat in every scene. You never see the same one twice. She is supposed to be the wife of King George III, who rarely appears. When he does, he's nuts. (As I think he was in real life). The actors in some cases don't look at all the way you'd expect those characters to look.
Take a peek at this one; you might enjoy it. Well written, well acted, and very colorful characters.

Great pictures, Tex. Heh, heh, I'm sure grandpa went down to Mexico for R&R, and possibly a few beers...:) I could definitely be wrong.

The first two eps of Landman were enjoyable-- certainly enough to look forward to the next installments. It's somewhat guilty of over writing, IMO. BBT's daughter is so over the top that only a severe spanking and some time in a nunnery would help! His ex wife is a little much as well. I'm always aware of when certain cast members are in effect given "speeches". BBT got some of those, but it more or less fits. Anyway it could turn out to be memorable.
