Couple TV shows some may enjoy

The wife and I started watching "Paradise" on Hulu.

I'm not sure exactly what I expected the show to be, but it has so far exceeded my expectations. It's kind of like Lioness meets Lost meets 24 meets Fallout with a dash of The Good Place (sans comedy). I really don't want to say any more than that because there's so many twists just in the first 4 episodes, I don't want to spoil anything. Every time you think you know where it's going, it doesn't. Every time you think you have a character pinned down, you don't. Sure, I predicted a few of the twists, but only because I anticipated a twist. It's a lot of fun/intriguing and well acted.

I'm sure it'll eventually air on network TV, but it'll lose punch when it does. They'll have to cut dialog and neuter some of what makes it good for a "mass market."

 

Just finished American Primeval on Netflix. It's only a 6 part mini-series. It's B R U T A L! A darker, more violent, nastier version of Yellowstone's prequel, 1883. And yet, my wife LOVED it (she's usually not into darker stories).
My only quibble is that every time I saw Kim Coates as Brigham Young, I couldn't unsee Tig from Sons of Anarchy.


Lot's of stuff coming back in the next couple weeks we like: Yellowjackets. Season 2 wasn't nearly as good as season 1, but we hope the next (last?) season will be better.

Reacher season 3 looks to be awesome.

The final stretch of episodes for Cobra Kai. Here's hoping they stick the landing.

And later this year: The Last of Us, Stranger Things (the kids will be in an old folks home by now), and Righteous Gemstones.

 

I mentioned it a few days ago.

Episode 5 is out now. (On Hulu at least. I'm not sure if you're watching it on a network. If you are, do they censor it? Some fairly adult language anyway)

Every episode has a twist. I'm not sure what to think. LOL But I'm enjoying it.

 

It's a generational thing, I think. We all have our favorite eras.

But of the current class, the only thing any good to me is the Weekend Update, especially when Colin Jost and Michael Che make each other read jokes they wrote for the other one unseen before air time. YouTube them (Weekend Update joke swap). They get pretty rowdy.

 

It gets pretty trippy. Season 3 and I still don't know wtf is going on.

 

Reacher Season 3 is fun as always.

1923 season 2 just began and is off to a solid start.

And slightly old news: The last season of Cobra Kai just finished - in a pretty satisfying way. It's a slight shame their budget was lower than it should have been. They could have used a beefed up production for the last 5 episodes (it almost seemed like they were back to season 1 level of production money). But story wise, I can't complain at all. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. That show has no right being as good as it is. For what was an obvious nostalgia grab, they really elevated the whole saga.
