I unintentionally stumbled across the new Daryl Dixon Walking Dead thing a few days ago and said "fuck it, nothings on let's give it a go"...dare I say I kind of enjoyed it! We'll see if that feeling continues on...

We have it automatically recording on our DVR since we used to record the Walking Dead. Have not watched any of it, but will be curious as to your thoughts as it goes along.
I guess these would be classified as a series , collectively. I've seen them around for years but never watched. The Tom Selleck Jesse Stone movies. I think it might have been a limited series released over a few years. Theres 10 "episodes" that could be considered stand alone movies. They do have a running plot line through the series , with specific cases in each. Selleck is quite good. Theres a young Viola Davis as a repeating character. The guest star list is an impressive array of popular and recognizable character actors. Theres good production value ,good writing. The main character , Stone , is a LA homicide detective who takes over a small coastal Massachusets force. An active drunk , fired in LA. We're about halfway through the 10 movie series , enjoying them.
I won't spoil it by telling you how it ends.

Thanks! I'm not looking forward to the ending since I remember a huge drop in quality. But apparently I've been blessed with not having the best memory, so there were several situations I couldn't remember how they unfolded.

Dear Child on Netflix, a German production with limited episodes a very good detective thriller.
Signs of a Psychopath on Max--nonfiction. crime. They are short and many of the killers I've seen before on other longer programs. Some are chilling, one last night was about one young adult that shot & killed his sister, (whom he loved). Evidently he just had a psychotic break it seemed to me, not a true psychopath. It seems like you can gather traits about most of these people, but at the same time it seems psychology is a pretty soft science as far as explaining away motives--many of which will be never known.
Monty Python: Almost the Truth (Lawyers Cut) (2009). Six part documentary on Netflix with lots and lots of interviews with the six living (at the time) Pythons, Neil Innes, Carol Cleveland, Graham's partner, as well as some previous interviews with Graham Chapman. Very honest, it appears, very informative, and often very amusing. My only mild complaint is that some of the interviews with other "comedians" seem truncated and/or superfluous.

My last wishes:
1. I want my remains scattered around Disneyland.
2. I do not want to be cremated.
My wife has us watching this miniseries called Echoes on Netflix. She finds it a fascinating mystery. I find it a goddamn Lifetime movie with swearing and better production values.

Terrific documentary, I've had the DVD set since it came out and have returned to it numerous times. I love Cleese talking about the abandoned sketch where the soldiers ask for permission to panic. When Cleese starts laughing as he speaks, it always gets me going too.
It's just a shame I have to endure that insufferable Russell Brand, perched on a chair like some squawking bird with the most annoying accent Britain has produced. I absolutely loathe that guy, and it has nothing to do with his current newsworthiness. The way he treated Andrew Sachs was a disgrace.

I just watched this too. I don't remember hearing anything about it when it came out, but saw it on Netflix when flicking through the menu. Really enjoyable for the most part. Also agree, about some of the interviews.
Agree, about Brand. There is just something about that guy that rubs me the wrong way and I have never thought he was all that funny either.
Also rubbed Katy Perry the wrong way. How long did that marriage last?

Posted in the RIP thread but seemed appropriate here as well: David McCallum has died at 90. I loved him as Illya Kuryakin in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
He was in the last couple episodes of this past season of NCIS in an "on video" way only, and did not sound at all well. What a great career, though; not many are lucky enough to have a last act that spans more than 20 years. RIP
David
Happy with what I have to be happy with.
We were just looking at that one. I'll have to subtly remove it from the Watchlist.
I liked him in NCIS. R.I.P.

I gotta tell ya man...I'm really kinda diggin it! There are some typical walking dead "oh cmon" moments, but overall the story is actually pretty enjoyable. In the 2nd episode they go back to when the apocalypse was just beginning and I found it refreshing as hell. The acting is all solid and effects are great as usual, but not reliant upon. Hopefully it keeps up because I've actually been looking forward to each episode so far. Who woulda thought?!

We just finished Safe, on Netflix. One of those Harlan Coben shows. And a pretty typical one, at that. Buried secrets lead to murders and accidental deaths. Lots of red herrings. Solid 7/10.
After that, we started The Lincoln Lawyer. One episode in, and it seems like something I'm going to like.

Good to know. We are still in the middle watching "What We Do In The Shadows", but I may give it a shot.
Keep your eyes open for the new season of Fargo on FX. Premiering November 21st.
