^^^^^^
Haven't you seen any of them before?  I have not watched those in a long time, but have seen them all.

I have seen a couple of dozen episodes over the years, but this is the first time that I have watched an entire season.
Some really great stories and a plethora of great actors, I look forward to season 2.

I've also never seen all episodes of Twilight Zone...It aired here sometimes during the 90s (reruns obviously) and I remember enjoying them but never enough to watch every episode.

The Same Sky (2017)

"It's set during the 1970s in West Germany, depicting the Cold War. It portrays the fate of two families on either side of the Berlin Wall. The story revolves around the relationship between an East German "Romeo" agent – a spy who uses seduction as a way to unearth secrets — and his female target in the West."
with the great Sofia Helin from "The Bridge" tv show.
9/10

Watching "The Vow"... expose of NXIVM, a Libertarian MLM spin on Scientology. The founder was into some sick sick stuff.

Four episodes into the first season.  So far, pretty interesting.

It's based on an Israeli series Prisoners of War (HaTufim) that is available on Hulu. The Israeli series is only 2 seasons, but they are total crackers, great and intense drama.

This is a quality production with good actors and a interesting story. The fx are pretty well done for the time and the set pieces are great . I understand that there is a newer series that came out about 10 years ago that I might look into.

I was laughing my head off at more of the old Dick Van Dyke show last night. The two episodes in Season One where Dick's brother shows up as a banjo-playing insomniac are cracking me up, just thinking about them.

My wife watches that and I was in the room for this episode, first I've seen. Almost immediately, I hit on the Lone Wolf and Cub similarities - and that is a GREAT manga to draw inspiration from.

Well got my new TV and got Amazon Prime and the first thing to watch was OBVIOUSLY this:

The very first episode of season 1 set in the US is the best thing the guys ever did. Much of the rest of the series was a mixture of solid to mediocre. Season 2 and onward were more successful IMO

Only watched two so far and I have to say the first one was EXCELLENT and the second one was a drop in quality yes...the special forces training bit was fun at first but it got bit boring after the 10th restart!

Tonight I'll be watching few more again.


Noticed that couple of shows were taken off the list at Prime that I wanted to see...Unidentified and Project Blue Book weren't on the lists anymore, and I think they were there few months ago.

But Star Trek Picard is on there ovbivously which will be next on the list...and also spotted some good old shows including FARSCAPE!!!! which was a real treat as I missed that on back when it aired so I'll be checking that one out at some point too...

Sad that the free trial time was reduced to 7 days...
And that you can't control the picture quality...so with my around 20mb/s internet it gets pretty blurry at times...but that's not a big deal...just annoying at times.

Because I didn't want ads during Picard, I signed up for CBS All Access. If you sign up separately and not through Amazon, you get more shows that way. I don't know if it's the same deal outside of the USA, but that's how we're rollin' in the States. Amazing Race had a GREAT season this year, and that was nice to be able to watch totally without commercials. Given that I work from home, I wasn't worried about spoilers.

HOWEVER, I have a bone to pick with Google for suggesting news about the Great British Bake-Off that announced the winner BEFORE I could see the final episode on Netflix. Ya know Google, ya need to tune your algorithms to NOT serve up spoilers like that. I still enjoyed the episode, but, yeah, kinda lacked the tension at the end and the fun of trying to see if my call on the winner matched the judges'.
