Season 1 of old Man was decent. It started out strong with the first two episodes and then slowed down for some character development and entanglement. Surprised that there were only 7 episodes in the season. Good news is it has been picked up for a second season.

Been trying to binge this one for a while, and I'm almost done. But out of all the Blade Runner media, I would say this is my least favorite so far. I did however really like Black Out 2022 and 2048: Nowhere to Run.

S1 was interesting concept, but S2 was hard to get through, show got annoying.

I'm interested to see if my opinion will change (I finished Season 1 last night) but I still thought Season 1 was a lot of fun. Season 2 so far seemed to lose some of it's charm and wit and the show got a little boring. Maybe watching it close to just watching season 1 I will have a different opinion, which I hope. Also, Season 2 isn't over yet. It just continues on August 10th.

Finally finished watching the HBO original series The Baby, billed as a horror comedy. It was very hard to get into the first few episodes, and has many deeply flawed characters that made it difficult to relate to. But the plot picks up a bit in the second half of the series and became more watchable.

Really enjoying Bosch
Not what I expected, thought it would be the typical cop drama show. But somehow it's different has an interesting vibe about it. Now I am hooked. This will hold me over for a while.
What I loved about this series is that it remained strong throughout its entire run. And the sequel to the series is quite good too. Enjoy!
 
Anyone here watched the dramedy Irma Vep starring Alicia Vikander? I've been trying to binge this one since it came out, but find it very difficult to follow. Perhaps the humor is just too high brow for me. I did find the similarly premised Entourage very watchable however.

Bosch is one of my favorite shows out there. Love it, and love the sequel that is on the IMDB/Freevee or what ever the channel is... Bosch: Legacy.

If you are the reading type, the book series is outstanding!!!

Just started this one. It's like Cast Away in the Yukon wilderness.

I just watched this mini-series yesterday, and gave it a thumbs up. The series is well made, and the cast is nothing but superb. I usually don't care much about movies where the lead actors and actresses re-live mental issues they may have experienced in the past, so I skipped over some of it because I find them boring, but her life experiences and the reasons for her trip can be clearly understood toward the final episodes. The scenes about gathering berries aren't very accurate, at least the blueberry bushes she gathered blueberries from, and also the lead's physical condition after days without food. However, poisonous berries and contaminated lake water was well-portrayed. It ended well, too.

Just keep in mind that being immersed in that lake's cold water for over 15 minutes and not drowning is nearly impossible. :)
