Sounds interesting, so I added it to my (getting lengthy) to try list. While reading up I noticed that Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) will be joining the cast for S03. Always good news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiFlyer Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I just finished watching "A Small Light" an 8 part miniseries delivered by a combination of the National Geographic and ABC. I obtained it from IPT. Very moving with an IMDB of 8.5. This is about the bravery of the persons who tried to hide the Jews and also the Jews themselves that occurred in Amsterdam during WWII. A central theme is how the "Anne Frank Diary" came to be written and widely published. You might want to have your hankie in your shirt pocket for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Found a great series called The bear. About chefs in the U.S. Well worth a watch. Its a drama show, not a documentary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Hannibal, the series on Netflix. Whatched all episodes season one and two, now onto three. Has become addictive. Not everyones cup.of tea, lots of corpses, murders and blood. But also great psycho drama. If you have seem the movies, a must to watch although minus Anthony Hopkins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streamed all of it in 2020 when the pandemic hit. I love gore, but even I can’t believe this, and The Following with Kevin Bacon, we’re on primetime TV…..Pretty graphic That being said, it was very good, Mikkelsen plays a great role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit of a serial killer gore fan as well. That said both shows have somewhat predictable plots that I would often have on while doing something else. Like was said Mikkelsen was great in "Hannibal". I also thought that the Gillian Anderson (Xfiles) role was well done as well. Just getting started with "The Following". I am using it as an afternoon background watch so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cast should have filed for hazardous duty pay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Men I just finished S01. I was half expecting to flush it after a few episodes, but found it interesting instead.

Its a drama show, not a documentary! I absolutely agree. A must see, particularly if one has a Chicago tie. Jeremy Allen White (Lip from the US version of Shameless) is really good. The rest of the cast, although I did not recognize any names, are solid as well. I recently eagerly downloaded S02 from IPT. I have it queued, but have not started watching it just yet. S01 had 30 minute episodes as I recall. I S02 seems to be the same. White appears to have some cooking chops, or maybe they fooled me with a body double. They not only capture the restaurant scene, but they do a good job of presenting the Chicago Blue Collar culture which I grew up in.

I certainly do not disagree (hmm - double negative on my part). Bosch is a great LA detective TV series. It ran for 7 seasons with an IMDB of 8.5. There is a sequel show called "Bosch Legacy". Also has an IMDB of 8.5. S01 is available on IPT and S02 was scheduled to begin this Fall, but the Hollywood Writers/Actors Strike will likely delay that date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it appears that White does indeed have some recently acquired cooking chops and those are not body double scenes. From an article that I read today -> He learned how to cook for The Bear To prepare for the role, White, who previously had no interest in cooking, studied at the Institute of Culinary Education in Pasadena, reported USA Today. He also trained at restaurants such as Republique and Pasjoli, eventually cooking food actually being served to customers. That reads like near De Niro level acting dedication.
