For the Shogun fans. Did anyone like ep9? Every show needs a stinker but I can’t believe it was the penultimate episode to have the first meh one. Hoping the finale brings it back on form.

Wife's just started watching "Lioness" and I admit that I'm getting a bit sucked in- at least for the SpecOps parts. The standard "everybody in the upper levels of the CIA is an arse-covering wanna-be chess master" trope is a bit meh for me.

I don't know who their technical consultants are, but they've definitely been to the party in the sandbox a couple of times, that's for sure.

I didn't think it was bad, can't have 2 action-packed episodes in a row (assuming the last one will show all-out war) or else it'll take away from the latter; this was consistent w the rest.

Anyway, the main stinker is the lead Caucasian, he's no Richard Chamberlain and I didn't recall his character being so confused from the original, never mind the total lack of chemistry between him and Mariko, she falls for him outta nowhere.

Oh wow I thought Cosmo Jarvis was one of the surprises this season. He and Mariko have been awesome! Hated each other, fell for each other, society/religious pressure pulls them apart, they go their own way, now back for each other. Great stuff.

I'm not looking for action all the time and this show hasn't been that at all and there hasn't been a bad one yet.This one was just predicable and mailed in for me. NO good dialogue which is a strong point of the show. Ochiba had some epic facial acting but that's about it. Now there is SOOOOOO much to cram into the last one or it will be an incomplete story. Maybe if it's 1.5 hours they can do it but I don't think it is.

I've been watching Franklin on AppleTV and have been impressed with Michael Douglas' performance.

There are a few shows that haven't had another season in almost two years that I can't wait much longer. The Old Man, Terminal List, and Night Agent.

I particularly liked The Old Man and hope that Jeff Bridges comes back for another season.

I finished Baby Reindeer. Unique show and kept me interested throughout. On its face it appears to be a bit humorous and odd (comedy drama), but devolves into something much deeper and very dark. I could see how this content could be triggering to some. Viewer discretion is advised.

Note: If you're part of the Woke Patrol, skip this one.

We've been watching Fallout, I'm not a gamer so have no frame of reference. It's kind of fun and a bit bizarre.

Just finished Baby Reindeer. Give it a "B". Navu Mau was great. Other characters "ok". Now Ripley (a few posts above) I'm liking. Boring if u compare it to a Rambo flick, but good story line. Biggest gripe is its in B&W... But makes sense why the director did it.

We finished Ripley and liked it. Kinda want to watch the movie now, which we never caught in it’s time.

I really liked Ep9 -- great tension between Japanese culture/duty and Christian philosophy. I thought that was handled really well - made for great drama (if not action)...I think the acting of the cast is outstanding.

The wife signed us up for PBS masterpiece app, I didn't really think it was my style, but I gave it a go for her. I'm pleasantly suprised at how entertaining some of these shows are. So far we've finished Poldark, Hotel Portofino, The Durrells in Corfu, Victoria, Forsyte Saga, and now currently watching All Creatures Great and Small. The app is pretty cheap ($6 monthly) for all the content you get imo.
