What are you watching & why? (splain)

Season 5 of Slow Horses has started.

Spoiler

Roddy by name, Ho by nature

Started? Wednesday will be episode 4. Love the show...though episode 3 was mostly a snooze fest.

Started watching The Last Frontier on Apple TV+ last night. I happen to like Jason Clarke who plays in the lead role. The storyline is interesting but lotsa stolen ideas from Silence of the Lambs, plus a few other movies, for instance, Con Air. Two episodes intro as of October 10 of which I have only watched the pilot but I think that I should enjoy the cat-and-mouse game between the protagonist and the antagonist.

Hmm, what else? At the expense of sounding like a dirty ol' man, I must fess up that I only watch Invasion because of Shioli Katsuna! In fact, I have gotten bored with the plot line at times and have fast forwarded episodes till Ms. Katsuna appears again with ample camera time. IMHO, a series with both Shioli Katsuna and Ana Sawai would be a fantastic idea and the plot line can be anything or nothing, I don't think that I'd care!

I'll just add that to the list of reasons why she and I are meant to be together...

I watched the Naked Gun remake with Liam Neeson. Got a few good laughs.

We watched "Smoke" on Apple+ TV while waiting for the next episode of "Slow Horses" to drop on Wednesday.

Could have been quite good, but the writers went off the rails and wrapped it up with a very unsatisfying (and strange) conclusion to the 9 episode series.

So, you've been warned if you decide to invest in the show.

Season 3 of "Billy The Kid" with Tom Blyth and Daniel Webber on MGM. Great mini series on the outlaws life. Great to see period correct firearms

Does it seem like its fairly faithful to history? I recently read Robert Utley's "High Noon in Lincoln" about the Lincoln County War, and am pretty interested in that period of southwestern history.

Yes in my opinion. Check it out if interested. Believe the episodes are free now.

If you haven't read Utley's "A Life Wild and Perilous" on the mountain men, it's worth a read as well.

You may also be interested in "The Gunfighters" by Bryan Burrough

Monster: The Ed Gein Story. Second episode was interesting how they wove in the movie Psycho.

 

[mauser9]

Have to check out Monster myself. Recall seeing a flick called "Deranged" at the movies back in the 70s. Based on the life of Ed Gein. His name in that flick was Ezra Cobb. Had his mother stuffed after death in the house. Bit of a crazy for sure.

 

[Casinostocks]

Well for those who intend to watch Monster on Netflix, just make sure that you are not too prudish when you happen to watch Episode 5. Just keep an open mind, mkay?
