Watching life with Elizabeth. Betty white supposedly had creative control over her show from what I've read.
It is. It is insanely fun. We are holding off viewing it to save up a few episodes.The first two episodes of this season of Preacher.
Hot damn, what a great fun show this is!
Another episode of Preacher. We have been somewhat disappointed with the past two episodes. Hopefully, they get their mojo back. This show is hilarious when it is hitting on all cylinders.
We are still playing catch up, and just watched episode four ("Viktor") which we thought was absolutely brilliant!
We also saw episode two of Game of Thrones and were just blown away! Two episodes in and so far much better than last season, which hopefully was a one-off learning experience post-novel development-wise!
Taboo appears to be getting two more seasons. They weren't sure if a season 2 was happening, and then they were and didn't know if it would take three years to happen. They think 2018 for season 2. I'm excited to hear they're getting two more. The third season will be the final season, but we could be talking 2020 at this rate. A lot can happen, so even a season 2 will be appreciated.
I binged the first season of Amazon's Z: The Beginning of Everything - about Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald.
This is a "novelistic" treatment rather than a docudrama, so it shouldn't all be taken as factual... and I'm not sufficiently up on the Fitzgeralds to comment on its accuracy (though upon some Wiki-ing, it appears that they're mostly following history). I liked it. The acting, particularly Christina Ricci as Zelda and David Strathairn as her father, was good, and the production is STUNNINGLY opulent. Being only half-hour episodes, it didn't have that too-familiar dragged-out feel of many Netflix/Amazon series... even though the season only covered from 1918 to 1921.
I mean, it's basically twenties literature and clothing porn. But I'm a sucker for that!
Note: In this series, editor Maxwell Perkins does NOT constantly wear his hat when inside, unlike in that recent Colin Firth film.
We figured that we might as well watch an episode of Fear the Walking Dead. We did and were annoyed by some of the main character's' stupidity, the foolishness of some minor characters, and the happening to possibly my favorite. We will most likely watch another episode or two tonight.
