Griselda was a badass woman, that's for sure. Ask her 3 murdered husbands........oh wait, you can't.......maybe this is why husband #4 never made it to the altar.
I have to say the acting by Sofia Vergara in this series is very impressive, especially in her speeches (in Spanish) to the Marielitos and to the Colombian prostitutes she uses as mules for the cocaine. She had oratorical skills, just as Hitler and Mussolini did before her...........
Just started on Masters of the Air, a series about WW2 bomber crews.
It's specifically about the bomber squadron known as the Bloody Hundredth, which endured 80% losses in their first 3 months of service.
Same executive producers as Band of Brothers and the Pacific.

Halo The Series | Season 2 Official Trailer | Paramount+
Have any of you guys watched The Tourist on Netflix? It's an Australian production about an Irish tourist in Australia who has a car accident and head injury results in amnesia. He has no idea who he is and no ID, but quickly finds out that whomever he is must be in trouble.......for some unknown reason.
Superb recommendation. The first 2 episodes really sucked me in, and now I want to rewatch the whole series, just to take in the little details.
There's also a Montreal connection - Studio Blue Spirit, who did the animation, has an office on St Laurent & Sherbrooke. I'm not certain how much of the work was done in Canada though.
The Gentlemen , UK TV Show
Created by Guy Ritchie as a spin-off of the movie... if you like the style, you'll enjoy the series.

Shameless.
I know I’m late to the party and I have no idea why I waited so long but it’s amazing!

Tokyo Vice really enjoying it
Tokyo Vice, definitely.
Since we are on that kind of forum, I will admit that the sex scenes wake up my perversions.
The yakuza boss who couldn't get it up with his mistress, followed by her soothing of his feelings, "it's me, not you... last week you were so strong you made me sore". The crime reporter who sleeps with the yakuza boss' mistress, right under the boss' nose, and while the boss is away on medical vacay. The hostess club owner who receives sex as compensation for keeping on his lowest skilled employee on the payroll, and by justifying his f-ed up sense of entitlement by saying "someone needs to give her lessons on how to treat our customers better". The yakuza underling who takes his friend out to a nightclub, as they team up to take 2 girls out to a love hotel. After the machinations at the love hotel are done, he pays the 2 girls, much to the shock and bemusement of his friend, who thought that his score was the result of his seduction game.
Seriously, the sex scenes are just the cherry on top of the sundae. The series is totally captivating, for all the right (and wrong) reasons!
Now, when is my next appointment with the vixen Asian SP...

Having just finished season 2 of the Tourist, which was good, I just started The Gentleman, the Guy Ritchie produced Netflix series which is a sort of reimagining of the film of the same name. Slightly different plot. The first two episodes are excellent. Very good acting, funny story, kind of everything that can go wrong does type of action. The entire cast is good, including the very hot Kaya Scodelario, who recently got divorced in real life. What's really interesting is the casting of Giancarlo Esposito as a highly "civilized" meth dealer - the same kind of character he played in Breaking Bad. Different name, different accent but basically the same exact character. Guy Ritchie was obviously a fan of Breaking Bad and Esposito.

There is a hilarious subplot in The Gentleman in which the Chief Weed Grower, Jimmy Chang, is completely pussy-whipped by the mysterious seductress Gabrielle, portrayed by Ruby Sear, pictured below. Apart from the Jimmy Chang character reminding me of some hobbyists I know who in the past allowed themselves to become completely p-whipped by their favorite SPs, I was intrigued by Sear, because I have never seen her in anything before. Unlike most of her cast mates, she is American:

Loved the show Gentlemen.
Anything Guy Ritchie is usually a with me
Currently watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on AppleTV.
Kinda the origin story of the shady organization from the Godzilla movies.
Much better than anticipated and isn't always about the monsters.
I'm currently watching Beef on Netflix and I'm very amused by it.
I haven't bothered with TV in years, but when I did, the lineup was pretty predictable:
- House —drug addiction, loneliness, and narcissism
- Lucifer —devilish charm
- Prodigal Son —family issues with a side of murder
- Billions and Suits — same script with different actors about being the puppeteer instead of the puppet.
- Rick and Morty —relaxing sci-fi, with some jokes
- Narcos — framed as a love story, with a little risk
- Messiah —was intriguing, poking at religious controversies, but canceled after one season because it seems not everyone appreciates having their beliefs challenged
