SO I just realized that Monarch is connected to several movies that I haven't seen (or forgot about). Then discovered that those movies are mostly on streaming platforms I don't own. This is one of the things I really do NOT enjoy about the way streaming has evolved. Needing multiple subscriptions for the same "universe" is great for everyone except the viewer. I may drop this show just because of that scenario.
What TV series you watching?
- Thread starter Mad Man
- Start date
I don't worry about it. If there is some nuance that is gleaned from another connected movie or series that I don't watch, I'm happily ignorant of that nuance.
Introducing my kid to The Young Ones. It maybe hasn't dated too well, but it still makes me laugh.
We finished A Man in Full. I thought it was decent.
[The following was added after original post.] Jeff Daniels was great in the lead role.

I’ve watched the first two episodes of season 2, Interview with a vampire. So far, this season seem better written and more interesting than season 1.
Finished Season 1 & 2 of Big Little Lies (HBO)
Surprisingly entertaining; it is a slow build through the first couple of episodes, but they are developing the characters and the investment pays off.
We loved this show!!
Catch me a Killer. Set in South Africa it's based on Micki Pristorius who was South Africa's first profiler. Pretty interesting. She came to the fore in the early 90's. From her bio she's a bit of a polymath. One of those people that's accomplished so much in her life that she makes me feel like a bum.
Just finished Downton Abby. I enjoyed it.
One of the few shows that my wife and I can agree upon.
I have watched it before but its one I can rewatch anytime.

I binge rewatch The Pacific every Memorial Day weekend.
Miss Marple(1984)
Rewatching The Bridge from 2013-2014. Filmed in El Paso and Juarez. Two places I used to hang around when I was stationed at Holloman AFB in the early 70s. Wouldn't go to J town now if you paid me. They'll kidnap you now and if you have no family, they'll let you out of the car...at 50 mph!
Am enjoying Masters of the Air, couple more episodes to go. Earlier this year I watched the first season of True Detective and enjoyed it. Also am slowly working my way through Arrested Development.
I'm curious about this one. Read the book for the first time last fall when I visited New Orleans, saw the 1990's Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt film in the theater back in the day.
I devoured the book when it first came out in the late 70s. I tried season 1 of the series but was disappointed it was not the same characters or story.
