    I'm hoping Hamm gets back on the carousel.


    Good luck on your next show.

There Will Be People

Ukrainian 12-episode series whose action is set between 1916 and 1932, featuring the fate of a rural community and its people during the WWI, the Civil War, the Bolshevik takeover and the early years of the Communist regime (including the Holodomor). Very good. I related to it on a deep level, because if the characters and plot had been moved to Romania between 1945 and 1960, beside names and language very little else would have had to be modified. Everywhere and always, Communism is the same.

Quote from: Karl Henning on April 22, 2025, 05:54:28 PMThe Outer Limits. Into a stretch of some of my favorite episodes: "Controlled Experiment" (when I first saw it, I did not yet know Barry Morse from The Fugitive.) "Do Not Open Until Doomsday" and "ZZZZZ."
I remembered the body horror element of "The Invisibles," but had forgotten that Richard Dawson and Gotham City's Commissioner Gordon are in the cast. I had forgotten just how superb "The Bellero Shield" is: a beautifully shot sci-fi noir.

"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"

S3 of Wheel of Time finally found its footing. It was a great season. I don't know if TV-only fans can follow the story at this point, though, and considering the show had a rocky start, I don't even know if it retained enough viewers to be renewed.

S3 of Reacher was also great. Unlike Wheel of Time, it was extremely faithful to the source material, and any departures were done with considerable thought to the plot and characters. Just as with WoT, I think this is the best season yet.

I've heard good things about Reacher before.  The first book of WOT I have but believe it or not, I've never read!  I should give it a go.

Lost in the world of tennis at the moment; men's finals is now going on in Madrid.  Hoping to get a hold of a copy of Ken Burns' da Vinci to watch.

LOVE Reacher! To me, the first season was the best, but they were all excellent.

Homicide: Life on the Street (1993-99)
Yaphet Kotto, Ned Beatty, Richard Belzer, Melissa Leo, Daniel Baldwin
Andre Braugher, Kyle Secor, Jon Polito, Giancarlo Esposito

Hill Street Blues, Homicide: Life on the Street, and The Wire form a TV crime-show trilogy I've really enjoyed, nicely moving chronologically from the 1980s through the 2000s.

I have been catching Homicide recently; I think it is my favorite of the triune.
