Fisk on Netflix is fun to watch. It's an Australian sitcom with an ensemble cast of quirky characters in a probate law firm. If you liked shows like Northern Exposure and the Canadian hit sitcom Corner Gas, I bet you will like Fisk..

Towards Zero is an Agatha Christie mystery in 3 episodes on BritBox. Binged it.

Last night, we watched The Thursday Murder Club starring the very classy Helen Mirren. It takes place in a retirement community. The characters were good, but I found the murder parts of the storyline to be a bit convoluted. (Maybe I should have been paying more attention to the plot, instead of being distracted by Helen Mirren's wardrobe and wondering what kind of sneakers those were. I am not Helen MIrren's age yet, but I recently decided I have earned the right to wear sneakers with anything I want to -- but they have to be the right sneakers. Heck, men have been wearing sneakers with tuxes for years.)

Anyway, that's all I've got for now.

I really enjoyed watching Thursday murder club, probably because I like all of those actors. We have watched Bosch on Amazon prime, and then watch Ballard. I really liked both of those.

I'm a Netflix binge-watcher. I don't watch normal TV or cable TV, other than occasional clips of interest I see on social media. Currently I'm watching Sullivan's Crossing, just started the third season. Started the first season last week. Just before this, I watched Scandal.

Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the single season Sirens, thriller- ish about two sisters, wonderfully acted with Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon on Netflix. Katrina documentary Come Hell or High Water was amazing, 3 episodes and American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden also a docuseries. Most interesting was the counterterrorism organization work and the Navy Seal training.

These are all Netflix:

Fisk is indeed excellent. We like Sullivan's Crossing, although I find it to be a lamer version of Virgin River (the concept is almost identical).

If you like Yellowstone, I highly recommend Waterfront. Similar feel in a different setting.

Untamed was decent, as was the Four Seasons, and Leanne.

Another one if you like Yellowstone is Heartland. It's like a clean version of Yellowstone.

What I watch on Television are programs that are free from " Laugh Tracks " & " Drama Sound Tracks " .
Both are uncommon with Ricky Gervais ( Comedy ) & ( Drama ) writes his own material & is Free of both of the above.
I find 100% of the time, USA Comedy ( TV ) is well beyond " Corny " & " Laugh Tracks " are 100% Needed.

As hard as it is to admit this, we’ve been watching “Dallas” because we recently the entire episodes on DVD. Last night we were laughing at the way that Jock was dressed (checkered suit?).

Next, we’re watching “Kfiuha” about the way that Pakistan and India spy on one another. (It’s one of the few on here where they speak English.)

I'm watching Better Call Saul again. I find it's the best thing ever put on the air.
