Big fan of "Reacher". New series I'm going to binge watch today. This guy looks like a more believable "Reacher" character than Tom Cruise.

Great first season! (last 10 minutes or so of the last episode of season 1, Reacher is entering the diner and a man brushes past him and excuses himself. That's author Lee Child in his cameo role.)

I’m a big Beatles fan so I highly recommend “Get Back” and “McCartney 3,2,1”. You don’t have to be a Beatles fan to enjoy it.
Also, “Hamilton” is brilliant.

Did the macho Reacher have Mr. Mosley shave his torso? I really enjoyed the show but they really stretch credibility when a guy can takes 20 whacks with a crow bar and not get bruised.
PS - I'm going to watch the next season too because it's always fun to watch bullies\pedophiles\mysogynists getting what they deserve. Also the casting director did a great job with Roscoe, Finlay, & Charlie plus others.

Hollywood does sometimes go a bit far with making heroes ridiculously indestructible. My buddy and I were watching a bad Vietnam movie in the late 1980s where a character jumped on a grenade to save his squad, and survived. That prompted a response of “I survived a grenade once…” 30 some years later, we still throw that line out when someone walks away from a battle that should have landed them in the hospital.
Another favorite is when Scott Glenn wills himself out of his deathbed to join Danny Glover in fighting the bad guys in Silverado - right after having his head trampled by a horse.

Damn, I might have to pay for a month of Netflix just to watch that. I'm a zombie fan going way back to the early 70's when I saw the original Night of the Living Dead as a child. Scared the crap out of me back then.
I watched Walking Dead for a few seasons until it went to crap and was more like some sick soap opera than zombies. I watched the Day of the Dead series on the SyFy channel recently. It was really cheesy but that's what made it good. I hope they bring it back.

McCartney 3, 2, 1 was brilliant. You can really see Rick's empathy and knowledge shine and McCartney is so forthcoming. I certainly away from that understanding more about both of them.
Also Hamilton. We just watched Encanto with a Lin Manuel Miranda score. It was enjoyable.

Yeah, there was definitely lots of mutual respect there. Loved the stories and the track isolations.
Encanto was very good too, love Lin Manuel.

.."the Eichmann Show, tells the story of groundbreaking American film producer Milton Fruchtman, who was given the job of televising the so-called "Trial of the Century" in Jerusalem in 1961. The broadcasts lasted for over four months and were shown in 56 countries - but the story behind them has never been properly told before. The trial was the first time testimony about the death camps had ever been broadcast live - and directly from the victims mouths."

The Eichmann Show: New BBC film tells story behind trial's broadcast
Docudrama deals with the televised trial in Israel of the Nazi official that 'became the world’s first ever documentary series, and in the process changed the way people saw the Second World War.'

Came home today to wife and older kid watching “All of Us are Dead” on Netflix. It looks pretty good so far. I could not convince them to watch it with the original Korean dialogue with English subtitles. The dubbing throws me off a little.

" Warrior" , Tom Hardy ( in my humble opinion, the best actor out there ) and Nick Nolte.......great f'ing movie...the cast, dialog, plot, drama and action.

Looks like a telling of Poe's Tell Tale Heart, not sure I have the nerve to watch that.

I'm not sure what possessed me to watch it. Yes it was reminiscent of Poe's Tell Tale Heart, but sadder.
