Over the last few nights I binged the 8 episodes of "All Her Fault" on Peacock. I wasn't sure if the subject matter would appeal to me, but I ended up enjoying it immensely. It's about the kidnapping of a 6 year old boy in Chicago, and the twists and turns of the subsequent police investigation. It's based on the novel by Irish crime novelist Andrea Mara and stars Sarah Snook, Dakota Fanning, Jake Lacy and Abby Elliott of The Bear. I thought it was extremely well written, well-acted and well paced, with a non-linear method of plot development that jumps back before and then after the kidnapping in a way that builds suspense. I give it an A.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was fire. I loved Spartacus House of Ashur. Monarch was dope. Ted seems very intriguing. The traitors and the bachelor series are guilty pleasures for sure, and like i'd only watch them with my partner, but they're fire series. PS. Idk if anyone else has realized how many people from the bachelor series are from MTL, but it is insane.
I have really enoyed season 2 of Paradise (on Hulu/Disney) which is up to eipsode 6 of 8, although the story really jumps around a lot and focuses on different characters or groups of characters at different points in time. The first episode is shot entirely in either Graceland or a recreation of Graceland which is in Memphis, Tennessee.
I also started season 2 of Night Manager on Prime. Season 1, which debuted in 2016, was one of the best shows of the 2010s. The second season they finally got around to making and releasing 10 years later. It follows the Jonathan Pine character played by Tom Hiddleston, who has now assumed a new identity and is part of a new M16 surveillance team. He is supposed to have left his "Jonathan Pine" identity in the past forever, but as the plot unfolds and he encounters characters from Pine's past, he finds it very, very hard to leave "Jonathan Pine" in the past. This becomes pretty obvious pretty quickly, and is much to the chagrin of all involved, especially his superiors.

Definitely enjoying Paradise, and Monarch is great as well.
Cant wait for new season of Reacher and Ballard.
Ted Season 2 was very funny. If you loved the movies you will love the TV show. Also check out Dirty Rotten Scandals about The Price is Right, BOB BARKER was getting it on with the model Diane. Also the best part was Diane says out loud in front of everyone screaming " I sucked his dick too many times, and I am not about to start kissing his ass (Bob Barker)". I nearly droped dead laughing so hard. Bob Barker had it all, best job and all the perks with the Job.
Hey guys- Reacher star Alan Ritchson apparently stayed in character and went Reacher on one of his neighbors:
www.theguardian.com
Is this a case of life imitating art or art imitating life?
I think Amazon gives him a pass on this because: (1) he is their biggest TV star, (2) it's good publicity when an actor behaves like his character off screen- it makes him even more credible and believable! and (3) Sounds like the neighbor instigated the incident and deserved the Reacher treatment!

not sure there are lots of hockey fans, but Shorsey is hilarious!. Crude, but still fun to watch.
No Assault Charges For Alan Ritchson; Police Determine Beating of Neighbor was Reacher-style Self Defense!!!!!
www.theguardian.com
This news story will only serve to enhance Ritchson's credibility playing the Reacher character. I had read some media portrayals of Ritchson as a "gentle Giant" off the screen, but perhaps his real persona is closer to Reacher after all.

But there are reports that the video circulating has been taken out of context and the beaten guy was harassing and/or pushed his bikeNo Assault Charges For Alan Ritchson; Police Determine Beating of Neighbor was Reacher-style Self Defense!!!!!

I watched the first two episodes of newly released season 2 of The Chestnut Man on Netflix. It's really good! I thought season 1 was creepy but the way season 2's first two episodes are filmed takes creepiness to a new level. It's about the investigation into a serial stalker/killer, who is stalking both men and women who don't seem to have any connection. One takeaway from this is people shouldn't constantly look at their phones and allow themselves to be trolled, as the victims do in this series. Of course if these victims used common sense we would not have good drama, would we?
It's in Danish with subtitles. Same 2 lead detectives as in season 1.

Final season of: The boys. It's... not for the faint of heart, it's brilliantly dumb. Immature and such a great take compared to the Marvel universe.
Also watched: The fall of the house of Usher. Based on the raven by Edgar Allan Poe. It's verry good.
