    LOL. Aside from the landscape, it reminds me of rural Maine. Or, maybe, rural anywhere.
    I'm studying Welsh, so I enjoy the bits and pieces of the language....though I'd be lost in the Welsh dialogue version.

    Most of the Welsh would be lost with a Welsh dialogue version.

    Yes, I believe so, though there is indeed a Welsh version. Every episode is indeed done twice, once in Welsh, once in English.

    I'd love to see an episode in Welsh (especially having read a novel recently that takes place in Wales) but the only language choices I have are English and Polish.

    Have you seen The Fall or Line of Duty or The Tunnel? All take place in the UK and all are very good!

    Have either of you seen Luther? I have it on my list but haven't gotten around to watching it, yet.

    A couple of other shows that have piqued my interest are Bodyguard and Safe (starring Michael C Hall). Both are British TV shows. Anyone seen them?

    Yes, Luther was an excellent series. Idris Elba is simply terrific in that one.

    There was as Australian mini-series about a small town where lightning strikes a grave yard and raises several dead people (no, not a zombie movie) one of was a recently deceased wife of the town constable. It was excellent but its name escapes me !

    I'm two episodes in to Bodyguard and I love it! Fantastic, gripping stuff, well acted and directed.

    My brother just told me about a show with a very similar premise called Glitch. Is that it?

    Good to know! That was one of the shows I'm interested in. I need to add it to My List.

    Anybody else watching the 3rd season of Narcos? It's about the birth of the Mexican cartel, but as the character has dealings with the Columbians, they have brought back the same actors to portrait Escobar, the Cali Cartel, etc... Really good series so far...

    Yesterday I started on the 6-part documentary "The Innocent Man", based on the Grisham non-fiction novel about a pair of gruesome murders in Ada OK in the early 80s. Just one episode in and already riveted to it.

    We watched the first two episodes of Jack Ryan last night. Very good, so far. Although, in an effort to demonstrate how analytical Ryan's mind is, they have John Krasinski recite some advanced baseball statistics that my girlfriend's son says are complete nonsense, so that takes away from some of the credibility. (No, it's not a show about baseball, but if they can't get something that easily debunked correct, how realistic is the rest of it? I know - I sound like GuitarGeek )

    Krasinski so far does pretty well with the role, but you still see Jim from The Office lurking in there, sometimes.

    At least you don't see Jim from Taxi.

    Those are both on my list to watch, but have not gotten to them yet.

    I'm having difficultly pulling the trigger on what to watch next. I did watch an episode of The Kominsky Method last night but that's not a show I'd be inclined to binge. But, holy shit is that show funny. Even when I really like a comedy, it typically only amuses me and I rarely actually laugh. I laughed numerous times during that show and always at Alan Arkin's jokes (an underappreciated actor, imo). Sometimes I think I was Jewish in a former life.

    Anyway... poll time!

    Of these shows, which would be your first pick; don't worry if you haven't seen them all:
    Bodyguard
    Glitch
    The Innocent Man
    Jack Ryan
    Luther
    Safe
    The Tunnel (3rd season)

    The Innocent Man is only 6 episodes, each under an hour. You can probably kill that quickly enough.

    I considered that.

    One show I forgot to list is Killing Eve. I heard it was really good, too.

    Killing Eve is imo one of the 5 best shows on tv.

    It's Shakespeare set to a precision-like ballet of psychotic and bi-polar neurotic behavior.
