Wow, that pretty cool! I saw the series when it first aired, and I enjoyed it enough to watch again just a few years later. The writers always came up with such interesting and sometimes intricate plots, if not always plausible. I'm in the part where Elizabeth is a wanted fugitive, and Dembe just got shot by Paul Rubens!

The algorithm pointed me to a useful educational video.  Very informative.

Just finished up The Mentalist:



Patrick Jane never lost his charm. I found all the episodes good fun to watch, and the cast of characters surrounding Jane were wonderful - all of them fit with him perfectly. My sole complaint was that I felt they dragged out the Red John storyline too long. I felt that should have ended in Season 3 or 4 - it felt very, very silly by the time we reached its conclusion - by then - Patrick Jane was magic and the team infallible, which would normally bother me a lot - see Bones or Law & Order, but Jane is so charming that he makes that nonsense watchable. I also didn't really care for how the show ended, but it also ended in the only way that it could - given everything that had happened up to that point, so I am happy they didn't go the Mass Effect 3 route, and I suspect most Mentalist fans were very happy with how the show concluded.

The latest season of Sunny.  This is, by far, my favorite current sitcom.  How much do I like it?  My general ringtone is the opening theme ("Temptation Sensation").  Sure, it is far from its peak of about a decade ago, but this season still managed to include in its eight measly episodes the two best crossovers I've seen: one with Abbott Elementary (which I've never seen) and The Golden Bachelor (which I've never seen).  It's lost some edge and toned down the outrageous vulgarity of earlier seasons, but it's still a cut above other non-YouTube entertainments in that regard.  A sense of weak sauce nostalgia has crept in, with prior bit players appearing in meh bits.  Rickety Cricket should have been used with more edge, and The Lawyer didn't get enough to do, but whatcha gonna do?  I was hoping to see the McPoyles, but no.  Sigh.  Charlie Day and Danny DeVito carry the season, and who can resist seeing DeVito and Carol Kane reuniting for laughs.  Anyway, it's still good enough to watch.

Reacher - pure, unadulterated fun.



Reacher is who Jack Bauer thought he was.

For Better or Worse.



A series from Belgium which is one of our highlight viewings of the year. Ticks every box with acting, production and best of all script. In six parts centering around a "perfect" middle-class family. With only one fly in ointment being dad a secret serial killer. Mainly dark, but not without lighter moments with a particularly funny private detective and a most unusual defence barrister that will live in my memory for many a day.

Netflix recently added The Closer to its roster, so I'm enjoying watching it again.
