Just finished the new Ken Burns film on Benjamin Franklin. As always, Burns does a fantastic job and I really enjoyed it. I thought he provided a pretty balanced look at Franklin’s life and both his many accomplishments and his failings. It is well worth watching for any fans of Ken Burns films.
Franklin is probably my favorite of the Founders (the only other candidate being John Adams), but, yeah, he had his failings -- though he tried to be ethical even about them. He couldn't keep it in his pants, so he was good about providing for his bastards....

Barry 3rd season premier tonight.....allegedly
His family life was often a shambles. He was overseas when his wife died, he butted heads with his son for his whole life, and he cheated on his wife. He was also a slave owner, although by the end of his life had reversed his stance on that. I had to read his autobiography when I was in college. Interesting stuff, but I thought the doc presented a pretty balanced portrait.
I have my DVR set up.
Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes--there have already been many bios about this sick guy, and this one sheds a bit more light on the subject. It was interesting to hear some of the survivors who encountered him early on, yet survived to tell about it and him on Netflix.
Almost watched this the other night, but wasn't in a serial killer mood. That will be probably for tonight because tomorrow is monday
Murderville...an improv comedy series on Netflix with Will Arnett featuring a new famous guest each episode. I'm sure it will be hit or miss as improv is, but the first one with Conan O'Brien was great.

Oh good.
I may wait a couple weeks to be able to binge a couple episodes together though.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.

Barry was good as always, but thank god for 'last season on...' recaps! I had forgotten so much. It's weird for me to be simultaneously watching two current series with Michael Irby. He's the (somewhat) flamboyantly gay Cristobal in Barry, but the leader of the biker gang in Mayans M.C.

That one is on my radar to watch when I get the chance.
We are visiting with some friends right now and they convinced us to give the CBS show "Ghosts" a try. Fricking hilarious! We burned through 4 episodes last night and really enjoying it.
Halo, on Paramount+. It's based on the video game, which I've never played but always thought looked kinda good. I've watched a couple episodes, now, and I'm not sure what to think about it.
So far, it's been about a "Spartan" (an enhanced soldier) who sort of goes AWOL to save a teenage girl after everyone on her planet was wiped out by an alien race. Spartans work for the United Nations Space Command, who is in a war with the Covenant, which includes the aliens.
It's got me interested enough that I'll keep watching, for the time being, but it also has a vague lower budget feel to it, even though it's partially produced by Showtime and Amblin and one of the exec producers is Steven Spielberg. It stars Pablo Schreiber (who I recognized from Orange is the New Black), Natascha McElhone (Ronin), and Bokeem Woodbine (Dead Presidents, Devil, and season 2 of Fargo). I didn't recognize any of the other actors.
On RottenTomatoes, it has a 69% critic rating and a 55% audience rating. That's a bit underwhelming.

yeah I heard Halo is pretty bad -- video game film//tv show adaptations are usually fairly awful unfortunately. Netflix's animated "Castlevania" was pretty solid though

I'm just starting session 3 of Bosch. Session two was not as strong as one but it was still quite good. Looking forward to three.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
I mean this is partly speculation, since Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is still signed through season 18 -- but Charlie Day says season 16 may be the last

anyone else a fan of the show? Currently enjoying the podcast a lot too

It just started so not yet but hells yeah, I'm down with what those Balto guys do cause they do it so well. They really do know their city. It's like anything Billy Corben from Miami does, he may be a bit crazy and ALWAYS take the underdog fight, and mostly loses, of course, but he's must watch.
Anyone doing season three of Barry? I don't know where I left off and I can't get diddly squat from On Demand but I'm down with this also. NoHo Hank is one of my favorite, super great characters of all time.
Carry On My Blood-Ejaculating Son - JKL2000
Yes, although I've found the last couple of seasons to be going downhill. There are only so many things you can do with these characters after so long, as with many shows IMO.
We've just been talking about it right on this page and the previous one...

Better Call Saul was typically intense tonight!
Very excited to have Ozark returning this week, and Hacks returning May 12 as well. Lots of great stuff coming up.

Caught #1 of season3 , Barry. Promising. I'm still in.
Too much good stuff on right now. Can't keep up with it all.
GaaAAaAahhh! I'm in Germany for two weeks and didn't prepare for international streaming. I will be sticking my fingers in my ears and singing LA LA LA LA LA real loud to avoid spoilers.
