on Hulu.
Ted Lasso is so good! Didn’t like Coach Beard’s episode, but am really liking Season 2.

Haven’t started Foundation on Apple but will soon. Has anyone started watching it yet?

didn't like it enough to watch weekly so will wait and just subscribe for a month when it is all available...They changed the story line a lot (since the original book was a bunch of shorter stories with unrelated characters I guess they had to do this but still bugs me. Tough book(s) to put in tv series form...Waiting for the new "Dune" on HBO Max later in Oct...got the six month HBO Max for half price they were offering last week...

Of course it's different from the books, but that is generally always the case when adapting any book(s) to film. And to be honest, I had a hard time wading through the Foundation books (says she who read ALL of Frank Herbert's Dune series), and from what I recall of what I read, as many have said over the years, it would not adapt very well to film, whether television or motion picture. I think television is a great choice for this, and I am fine with the adaptations so far. The idea is to retain the spirit of the work, not necessarily the letter of the work. The ideas have to work, and be the focus. And that is what I've seen in these first two episodes.

I have to say, too--and I know not everyone has these things or even cares about them, but I love film, and I do care, so I have scrimped and saved in order to have them--it is absolutely stunning on a big screen TV in 4K OLED with surround sound and Dolby Atmos. I was wowed. It takes full advantage of the technology!

Very sweet and a look at off the beaten path of countries all over the world. I still can't get over the women working as tailors in Romania - sheep to garment in one house.

watching 'The Last Kingdom', and we've just watched a few other miniseries, Frontier, and I can't off the top of my head remember the others, maybe later I'll update my posting...but the overall point I want to make is that some of these miniseries have been pretty damn good. Especially when there is really nothing on 'regular TV, ABC, CBS, NBC) other than court TV shows, reality shows from A to Z.

To be honest, I'm (or we are) tired of the 'reality TV' craze...it's a little much.

Reservation Dogs (FX on Hulu) I can't rec this enough! It's from Taika Watiti.
Foundation (Apple) my opinion is in another post (we like it!)
Nine Perfect Strangers (Hulu) not for everyone.. definitely weird, but great cast
What We Do in the Shadows (FX on Hulu) hilarious! also has connections to Taika Watiti
Murders Only in the Building (Hulu) we love it!
The Morning Show (Apple) a guilty pleasure

Those are the main things we are streaming. Some we just finished, but they are still fresh on my mind, and worth mentioning!

We are eagerly awaiting Dune on HBO Max. I so wish I felt comfortable going to the theater for this! I am sure that is how this film SHOULD be seen, but home theater will have to do.

Will try Foundation. Big draw for me is Jason Harris. Didn’t know he was Richard Harris’ son! I imdb’d him because he seemed so familiar.

I saw the original movie one night while surfing around for something to watch, so I was overjoyed when I read there would be a series. We love it, too. (Nandor... I love Nandor. ) And yes, watched with appropriate human beverages.

Overall great series. Focusing on illegal arms dealing drug trade and political influence almond industry sucking all the water out of California and ending with bad pharma opioid case.

four series' and out. I like that in shows. No 15-year 20-year jump the shark stuff.
