Just finished binge-watching Outerbanks. Looking forward to season 2, if they pursue it.
Halted on Ozark after several episodes. Compared to Saul or Breaking, it seems contrived or something. Maybe I'll go back to it.
Extraction was a good action movie.

I used to think Meg Ryan was hot until she Michael Jacksoned herself. OMG, did she mutilate herself, or what - a damn shame! It's so terrible sad. I used to cry when I watch Sleepless in Seattle because it was sad. Now, I cry because I wish Meg still looked like herself... even and older self. |

When I was putting together my list I was thinking about characters who are in current shows. Here's a list of characters I consider among the greatest in television history...in no particular order although Barney Fife would be my favorite of all time... 1. Barney Fife/The Andy Griffith Show 2. Archie Bunker/All in the Family 3. Homer Simpson/The Simpsons (didn't include him above because I haven't watched The Simpsons for a few years. 4. Walter White/Breaking Bad 5. Ted Baxter/The Mary Tyler Moore Show 6. Lucy Ricardo/I Love Lucy 7. Mary Richards/The Mary Tyler Moore Show 8. Felix Unger and Oscar Madison/The Odd Couple 9. George Costanza/Seinfeld 10. Michael Scott/The Office I never watched The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Dallas, Entourage or much TV in the 80's and 90's. Seinfeld was one of my favorite shows of all time. But, for me KRAMER was my favorite. He's over the top, for sure... but, he always cracked me up. Barney Fife was hilarious, but... his voice grated on my. I could do with less Barney. I also loved MASH. Plenty of good characters there, but...let's be real. The star of the show was Hawkeye. Bea Arthur's MAUDE was one helluva of a character. She was good on All in the Family, and good enough to carry two more shows. (Golden Girls was basically the same character) Another I always liked was "Phoebe" from Friends. another terrific show. And, I don't know how there can be a list of "best characters" that doesn't include Sheldon Cooper. He's unique. He's even good as a kid. :-) I started watching Killing Eve this week. That blonde chick is WELL put together. She can put a hit on me anytime! |

I never watched Friends or The Big Bang Theory - I don’t know why, maybe because I was always coaching the night those shows were on.
Killing Eve is classic and it’s all because of Villanelle - what a great character and the actress plays her perfectly. Another British show I really enjoyed was Fleabag - 2 seasons, 6 shows each season - can be dark but very funny, too. The star actually is one of the producers of Killing Eve.

Got hooked on that one on a BA flight to London. |

We started watching Dead to Me on Netflix tonight. So far, it’s pretty damned interesting.

Not to give anything away but season 1 ended with quite a cliffhanger.... wow... we just finished the first season. I think they picked the wrong episode to do the cliffhanger. They could have done it better on Episode 9. Good show though. First thing MamaBevo has agreed to stream with me since Breaking Bad. We generally have very different tastes in TV shows. |

Mrs. Tiger and I have been watching The Crown. We're early in season 2 and it's been pretty good.
Lots of history, and sex scandals.

Loved The Crown - and they did a nice job pivoting ahead in season 3 with the queen being older, Olivia Colman is a great actress but the entire cast is great. And they do an empathetic job with Prince Charles. Being royalty has its negatives, that's for sure. We are currently watching Run and just started Succession. Finished up Barry which was great. Run has been a bit strange but Succession looks like it is going to be a good one. Also watched Chrenobyl earlier during the stay home orders - very good but terrifyingly sad. |
