Finished Pacific. I think it's downfall was the timing of its production. BoB had better timing with more soldiers being alive to help tell their live accounts. Pacific was great in its own right, but nothing holds a candle to BoB.

True.

Wonder how the new one will be. Not sure when it comes out though.

I'm so pumped for this. Even if it's the 3rd worst, it will still be the 3rd best war series ever.

I always tell people to do The Pacific first. Then finish up with BoB.

We've been watching American Vandal on Netflix. It's pretty ridiculous, but funny nonetheless. It's basically a spoof on Making a Murderer about trying to uncover the truth on a vandalism case where someone spray painted a bunch of dicks on faculty cars in a high school parking lot.

Watched the pilot of The Good Doctor...I liked it. Didn't love it, but Richard Schiff is bae so I will keep watching.

I recorded a bunch of new stuff in the next couple weeks. We will see if I can actually keep up with any of it.

That's the one with Norman Bates, right? I keep seeing previews for it...probably will check it out.

Started watching Suits, I'm enjoying it so far. It's very formulaic so I could see myself getting bored with it by the 3rd season, but so far I'm hooked.

Just finished Ozark and Narcos S3. Really enjoyed both. Narcos S3 is the best yet. Fantastic 10 episodes.

We are way behind on Narcos, we've only finished the first season. I've heard nothing but great things about the next two seasons.

I finally got around to watching Dave Chappelle's two new Netflix specials. I enjoyed both, but I think the first was a bit better.

I was sucked into Ken Burns Vietnam. It finished up last night. I watched it pretty much every night over the last 10 or so days.
I highly, highly recommend it. The interviews with vets on the U.S. side, NVA, VC, and South Vietnam are both insightful and many times raw and emotional.
The later episodes are really, really relevant to today.
There were also many moments that were pretty emotional to watch, including the interviews and footage of the POWs coming home, and the first unveiling of the Vietnam Memorial Wall.

Watched the Good Place last season, maybe a little more fun than LOL funny, but it's pretty comical.

First couple shows this year, though, really impressive - actually an underlying story/plot that's fairly interesting and well-written. Definitely something more than your typical sitcom.

My wife has been watching this and I've seen bits and pieces. It looks pretty good so I'll probably watch the first season soon.

Stick with it. It gets pretty ridiculous and over the top, but in a good way. Ted Danson is excellent, as is Kristen Bell.

It's funny enough to watch, saw the first season, haven't started watching the new one yet.


Wife started watching Tin Star yesterday, she is about 3 episodes in, I only caught bits and pieces, but it looks really good so far.

Struggling to keep attention with Deadwood. It's interesting, but doesn't keep me glued.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say she's not going to stop because you asked her to.
