Bosch: Legacy (2022 Prime/Freevu)- Season 1. If you like the Bosch series about the LA detective, this is more of the excellent same. Annoying that I only had 1 season, 10 episodes to watch. Seriously annoying that we ended up having to watch commercials with Freevu, I don’t know how this got on Prime, watched on Prime, but it says Freevu and there were commercials.

Bosch Legacy was outstanding and incredibly tight...like the original. Wish we limited it to one episode every other day.

I know, I'm actually glad some shows just release one-a-week, saves us from ourselves

And some of us wait until a season’s worth of episodes is released and then binge.

That’s what I prefer. Once a week the story seems to get lost in my brain at this point in my life. For 1 Hr episodes, we prefer watching 2 episodes at a time on sequential days, and if a story gets really cliff hangerish, we could watch 3 or 4 episodes in a row.

My sister talked me into giving BritBox a free trial, she recommended a detective series calle Grace. Only hit on one episode so far but it didn't put me to sleep even in this warm weather, so the writing and production seem OK. Not sure I'll keep the sub after the trial or maybe the trial and one month's worth of prowling around are over. Hard to justify it since I don't watch even Netflix enough to defend my sub to that.

I’m 4 episodes into Umbrella Academy Season 3, and really enjoying this, a nice change of pace, the story focuses on The Grandfather Paradox, something associated with single time lines, that happened after Dallas. As you may know they returned to their present to find everything topsey turvey.

I also like that they kept and fit in the actor who in real life transitioned to a different gender making it part of the story.

Just finished Umbrella Academy, Season 3, thumbs up, interesting ending to start next season with.

My preference of consumption is 2 episodes per day. This 1 episode per week nonsense being revived by some streaming services is outdated, but the reason is obvious, maintain subscriptions.

I'm so glad Westworld S4 is better than season 3. But none will ever be as good as season 1.

Started Season 2 of "His Dark Materials". I've read the books, and saw the movie years ago. This adaptation has been pretty good so far.

I enjoy the series and have watched since S1.

Westworld Season’s 1 and 2 were great and could of ended there. Season 3 made me sad, I’ll watch Season 4 and plan on dissapointment.

I thought a lot of season 3 of Westworld was kick-ass. Season 4 is going well but I’m not caught up.

For the series as a whole, I think the frequent time jumps were not worth the narrative confusion it caused. There‘s artistic reasons to be confusing I guess, but doesn’t seem justified here.

Thanks.... I will take a look at it!

I've bailed on the Grace series after just 2 episodes, it's not for me. Found some movie on BritBox that was OK though, a film called Honour, based on a book by Caroline Goode about an actual so-called honor killing, for the successful resolution of which terrible murder case she eventually received a Queen's Police Medal. I might hold onto the sub for a month after the free trial, do some more poking around.

I found S3 the hardest to follow. It's easier to tell what's going on in S4 so far, though there are still unanswered questions and mysteries. There are also more references to the first two seasons, which I like. It looks like S5 will be the last. Viewership has been declining steadily since the show's debut, not surprising given the show premiered six years ago and the often-complex plot lines.

I remember watching the opening for season 1 and thinking it was one of the coolest opening credits I'd ever seen. Plus it had Sir Anthony Hopkins. It's never been the same since.

Better Call Saul: an entire Gene heist episode. OMG.

It’s a shame they didn’t clone him.

This season is beginning to make sense at least. Up until last week I was totally lost. I think Delores and I figured it out about the same time.

I don't remember ever being on the edge of my seat as much as I was watching someone run around a store. And I'm craving a Cinnabon.

Spoiler

I've read complaints that last night's episode was a waste of time. I disagree. Gene/Saul/Jimmy had to take care of Jeff permanently, and this was a brilliant scheme worthy of the old days.
