A little late on starting a couple of shows, now watching The Crown and Jack Ryan both of which are good. We are in to the second season of Jack Ryan.

Watching this next week. Shira Hass was so great in Shtisel which is also highly recommended.

Indeed narcos mexico is very good and very close to real facts
Been watching this..pretty entertaining. Little known forum fact....my wife is distantly related to the Arellano-Felix family....good to see the in-laws getting some screen time.
Tiger King was crazy, never knew that world existed.
Curb was a great season, though I thought the finale was a little weak. The episode with Jon Hamm was outstanding.

On episode 4 (of part 4, obviously). Great season, so far.
Holy crap. Beast season yet for “Money Heist” but the idea of a cliffhanger when they cannot even film the next season on account of COVID19 is brutal.
Also. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, Úrsula is amazing.
Just finished the first season of Ozark. Not bad although they got carried away with the last episode. Will probably continue watching at least for the first few episodes of season 2.
Starting to get into Tales From the Loop, an Amazon series based on images by Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag. Odd doesn't even begin to cover it; think unexplained, retro sci-fi machinery, spires, giant robots, and abandoned metal spheres littering the landscape. Ostensibly centered someplace in Ohio, it is mostly filmed in a perpetual twilight and oozes Scandinavian winter dreariness. But each episode centers on one person in the town, and though slow moving, it draws you in by being utterly fascinating.
Bosch returns on April 17 on Amazon. Yay! Just in time.
Was just saying I wished they released it early
Modern Love - pretty good episodic

I loved the first two seasons of this series. Very happy to know that season 3 is coming soon. As someone who is a friend of several Israelis and Palestinians, I can recommend the first 2 seasons without hesitation. Reasonably balanced, and very well done. Hope season 3 is equally balanced and entertaining.

Did you watch this? I watched the whole season in 2 sittings. Best season yet!

Only the first episode. I'm psyched at your review of S3. I hope to get a few episodes in tonight.
Folks, if you haven't tried this show, please do. It's really, really good. I'll echo a recommendation I read here early on in Season 1 to watch this show in the original Hebrew and Arabic and use subtitles. The English overdubs are not so good. Plus I've learned some new words in both languages!

Bosch Season 6
Watching Fauda. Pretty exciting, actually. I'll try the language thing recommended by PH next time.
Dubbing should never be used in place of subtitles. Acting is more than people moving around on a screen; it's also, unless you're watching a silent movie, their voices.
However the Disney dubbing of Miyazaki movies is acceptable.

Yup, definitely much better
I'm looking forward to the next offline with PH, when he and I can speak Hebrew with each other so as to confuse the other guys. How do you say, "Nice tannins" in Hebrew anyway?

Speak for yourself - I am swamped (although doing it all from home which is not all that unusual for me) -

Actually a word I learned that easy to say, and might be useful is (and I'm transliterating here) is:
Sababa.
Apparently Arabic in origin, but used in both languages. I am amazed at the similarities between Arab and Israeli culture, norms, diet and language and the continuous disconnect. Similar to the Protestants and Catholics in Ireland. Just find some common ground and work on that, people.

Used in both Hebrew and Arabic I believe - very useful term - can be used as cool, great or no problem

Last time I was in Israel, Stef and I turned to my sister and asked her what some signs were saying as we did not know the words and my sister turns to us laughing and says just sound it at - they were just English words written in Hebrew letters so looked strange to us but simply said what they were in English. Like television and espresso (I know not english but sane result) looked weird in Hebrew
"I am amazed at the similarities between Arab and Israeli culture, norms, diet and language and the continuous disconnect."
The press reported that last week some Palestinians in Gaza were trying to "zoom" with some Israelis to discuss peace. But, Hamas learned about it and arrested the Palestinians, and, I suppose, confiscated their computers and probably beat them up. Disconnect indeed.

I was in Israel for a visit years ago when Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge at a place I'd never heard of in Massachusetts called "Chappaquiddick"... Try reading that in Hebrew, since there is no "CH" or "Q". Hard enough to get through Massachusetts.
The Wire- rewatching it for the first time in 10+ years. Better than I remember!
Just finished season 6 of Bosch. It was OK but maybe it's time to call it a day?

All hail the greatest television drama ever.

I'm such a big fan, but I wait to watch so I have a gift to open after child-like anticipation. This is disheartening news. We'll see.
Just started Season 2 of After Life. I really liked Season 1.

Interesting how they take the basic plot of the books and completely rework the rest. Not just in this season.
I read that season 7 will be the last.

That has been one of its great strengths. Somehow they managed, of course with the help of Connolly himself, to mash up the books and change whole plots and still keep it very "Boschian." I'd say it's rare to have an author not only allow such major changes, but participate in it. Sounds like I'm going to be disappointed in season six, but I hope the essential LA-ness is still there.
We are 8 episodes into Season 6 and I have been enjoying it

Great. I guess I better jump in already.
My wife and I started binge-watching Killing Eve on AMC, originally on BBC America, I think. Interesting, funny, and you never know quite where it's going to take you.
My wife and I started Bosch a few weeks ago, and just finished Season 4 last night. Really high quality, hopefully 5 and 6 hold up for us.
