Finished Perry Mason S2. Excellent. I'd like to see more. If they can maintain quality I think 4-5 seasons total would be about right.

Did anyone watch the Willow series? I was reminded of that recently. I enjoy the movie of course.

Cant wait to start watching season 2 next week!

I watched Willow. It wasn't well received. I liked it. They need another season for the story but I'm not sure they will get one.
 
Pretty sure Willow was not renewed...

Andor has halted production because of the strike for you Di$ney Wars fans.
 
Black Knight on Netflix has been solid through 2 episodes (out of 6). Based on a popular Korean webtoon, it's hitting a cross between Mad Max and Altered Carbon as far as dystopian sci-fi.
 
For those that have enjoyed Perry Mason, are any of you fans of the one from the 50s/60s? My dad loves that show and I'm wondering if he'd like the new one. He's not a huge tv watcher...too much today is visual, which is why the blind man likes the classics that have more dialogue and are easier for him to follow.

I don't think the new one is anything like the original other than some names honestly. Its going to be a VERY different feel compared to the old one. The new show focuses on one case over the 8 episode season rather than a new case each episode. Obviously language, violence, and nudity are all present in the new one (it is HBO). It is a very visual show as you suggest though the dialogue is great.

So after finishing it up...probably a B overall. Entertaining, good action set pieces, some characters get developed and make you care, interesting cinematography/style, but also some massive gaping plotholes and too many details that are left unexplained. Rare for a K-drama to be rushed, but this was one that could've used an extra 2-4 episodes to flesh things out more. Like giving the Big Bad a reason for his Bond-villain-on-steroids act beyond just he's a rich douche with daddy issues.
 
I am going to try and start High Desert and North Shore over the next few days. Neither being US produced I am hopeful they'll deliver.
 
Dave continues to be a pretty good show. It is hit or miss, I won't lie -- it aint Atlanta. But there's some good stuff there. It's like a 2020s version of Fernwood 2 Night.
 
Found out that all the UK Kitchen Nightmares are on YouTube and have been watching them here and there. I’d watched a couple of them before on Netflix, but that was years back. I forgot how calming it is. Ramsay still calls people fuckwits and tells people to get their heads out of their asses, but it’s on a much more personal level. He’s actually talking to them instead of yelling. There’s no dramatic music, no sound effects. If there are scripted parts it certainly doesn’t give off that vibe. It feels like a documentary.

Compare that to the American version which is just a barrage of noise, each episode has almost the exact same plot points to where you know they’re scripting specific scenes, and Ramsay is playing up his Flanderized-self screaming at everyone. And Fox is apparently in the works to reboot it. I think the best comparison I read was the UK version is almost a business class for restauranteurs, while the US version is just a soap opera.

I tried North Shore and turned it off midway through Ep 1. Do not recommend.

High Desert however with Patricia Arquette (meaning I was wrong about it not being a US production) had a much better start. Quite fun and promising.

Drops of God (Japan on Apple TV) is now in my queue.
 
Ted Lasso 3.10 was their annual attempt to humanize rich people.

You're still going to the wall with Rupert, Stinky. F-ck you. But please hunt back down the hunky boatman, he was perfect for you and he already has a giantess' wardrobe.
