Mr Iglesias on Netflix. Fluffy is a teacher.

I'll take Simon and Simon, The Fall Guy, and Spenser for Hire.

And the short lived series, starring a guy from Evansville, A Man Called Hawk.

So Netflix has one show with Obama, and it's out, but you'll watch a so show set in Chicago?

Great sitcom series so far.

Coming from a family of teachers I can relate. I like Fluffy too.

Mr Iglesias on Netflix. Fluffy is a teacher.

I binge watched it today.

Overall, it's a meh. I'd rate it as about average for a new network television sitcom overall. Some of the individual performances are excellent, but the writing is uneven. The writers are doing a better job with dialog for characters than others (aside from Gabriel Iglesias, of course). Half the characters fit a "real" sitcom and half would be more at home in one of those Saturday morning shows intended for kids on the Disney Channel.

There were only 2-3 "laugh out loud" moments during the entire season.

The political humor is also one-sided, to the detriment of the show. They would be better served to deliver stupid fun without trying to teach lessons with their ham-fisted writing.

On the upside, I was unaware that Gabriel Iglesias was such a good mimic. His impressions are quite good.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testament_(1983_film)

Testament is a 1983 drama film based on a three-page story titled, "The Last Testament" by Carol Amen (1934-1987),[SUP][2][/SUP] directed by Lynne Littman and written by John Sacret Young. The film tells the story of how one small suburban town near the San Francisco Bay Area slowly falls apart after a nuclear war destroys outside civilization.
Originally produced for the PBS series American Playhouse, it was given a theatrical release instead by Paramount Pictures (although PBS did subsequently air it a year later). The cast includes Jane Alexander, William Devane, Leon Ames, Lukas Haas, Roxana Zal and, in small roles shortly before a rise in their stardom, Kevin Costner and Rebecca De Mornay. Alexander was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance.

Just got done with Stranger Things Season 3. It was quite good.

“Bosch” on Amazon Prime. Old school police/detective drama. I’m in season 2 and I am loving it.

It has a real “yesterday’s L.A.” vibe. I was trying to figure out why that resonated with me and I think it’s because it comes off as a modernized “Dragnet” (with swearing and occasional partial nudity) and I LOVE Dragnet. (Actually, if you can find the early 2000s Dragnet reboot with Ed O’Neill, it’s worth it). Also there are several actors from “The Wire” and I really liked that.

I'm glad that they've done a good job of keeping close to the Michael Connelly novels. It's one of my favorite authors and series.

I thought season 1 was very good but season 2, not so much. Did not even finish season 2.

If you have Comcast, and HBO, the series Chernobyl is out there.

Two episodes from the end of "Person of Interest". While I enjoyed it, the gun play is so atrocious as to be absurd. Think minigun rounds bouncing off a standard sedan.

But, I just got season 4 of Outlander. So it's back to the eighteenth century for me.

There are some differences between the series and the novels. IMO, in most cases the changes in the series were improvements from the books.

Yes, I know there are some differences, but it doesn't go totally off the rails like Jason Bourne did. I won't watch those movies because they destroyed the actual story. Anyway, I agree, the changes made were good.

I don't watch the Bourne movies because of Matt Damon but that is even more reason to avoid them. I thought the Lincoln Lawyer movie had some improvements over the book as well. I know MC retained quite a bit of control over Bosch and I suspect he did with the Lincoln Lawyer as well, it definitely shows.

Just finished season 3 of Designated Survivor.

Now I want season 4...

I think I tried BOSCH several years ago, but it didn't grab me . Just started again this Spring and I've been through all the seasons. Its great and anxiously awaiting a new season/!
