Dark Winds. 6-part series that takes place in Navajo Nation in 1971 New Mexico. A murder mystery thriller based upon the book that also inspired the 2002 film Skinwalkers. E1 was very compelling and hopefully the momentum carries through.

Apparently the author (a Kraut?!) wrote a gazillion mysteries in the Joe Leaphorn / Jim Chee Navajo Tribal Police series. I am going to give them a shot.
 
My wife has been watching Peaky Blinders, but I’ve not been around for a good chunk of it, so I’m just in the room doing whatever. I will say this, though, the use of modern bluesy rock has been a great choice. The contrast of the England in the 1920s and sometimes heavy, distorted guitar riffs give a wicked feel to the gangster show.

It's we quite good. You should watch it from the beginning. I have the final season on my list of things to watch soon.

I could never get into any American version of Iron Chef. The Japanese version was amazing. The flamboyant "chairman" (yes I know it was just an actor), the "celebrity" judges (one common judge was a psychic), the unintentionally hilarious innuendo used when describing dishes ("it's so creamy in my mouth and feels good in my throat") , the way the judges were amazed by the use of some American ingredients they thought were so unique and "luxurious", like ketchup for example (yes I saw an episode where they were amazed someone used ketchup in a dish).

A friend of mine ordered some DVDs of the original iron chef but they were not official. Someone just recorded them and burned them to DVDs (complete with menus and some episodes with commercials, others without; surprised they didn't have their identity stolen the website was so suspect). We used to sit and watch and make a drinking game out of watching them. Some episodes would get you REALLY drunk.

This. When they brought the show to America 20 years ago, they Americanized it in the most ham-fisted ways you can think of. I suspect the twin egos of Bobby Flay and Mario Batali had entirely too much say in the production.
 
I gotta say, Selena Gomez is one of the most attractive human beings I've ever seen despite being absolutely not my type.

She's also 30 but looks about 15.

It's not at all sexual -- she has the sex appeal of a bowl of vanilla ice cream. But my god that ice cream is lovely.
 
I watched Ep. 1 of Season 4 of Westworld last night. Actually, it wasn't terrible. I admit I had extremely low expectations, but I know I'm at least going to watch Ep. 2.

I will watch just to wash away S3. But S1 is still a totally different show -- that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'll be fine if it goes back to the meh of S2.

I watched it having skipped season 3 entirely. It wasn’t horrible and the last few seconds of the first episode made me happy
