January 14Jan 14 Man on the Inside - Dull, not very funny, but also sweet and touching. Ted Dansen, who is absolutely fantastic in it, seriously, goes undercover in a nursing home for a private investigator. Whoever wrote it obviously had a family member suffer from dementia.

January 23Jan 23 I know there were a few other dorks in here besides me who enjoyed the Castlevania animated series. Season 2 of Castlevania Nocturne was pretty amazing - just finished it last night.

Afterwards, I think I went out and bought a pocket protector and gave myself a swirly.

February 3Feb 3 I'm currently watching "The Madness". Getting really into it. The acting and writing are very good.
February 5Feb 5 Started a rewatch of "Lost" over Christmas break and almost to the final season - hard to believe its 20 years old now, but it still holds up. Literally have not seen it since it originally aired, so outside of the major characters, location and broader plot points, I've forgotten a lot of the details episode to episode. So much better to binge as well - I remember the mental anguish when nearly every episode ended each week with some sort of cliff hanger or reveal, let alone the season enders and having to endure months or waiting.
February 19Feb 19 Surviving Black Hawk Down on Netflix is an all timer. One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. They do such an incredible job getting both sides of the story and the real emotions of everyone involved. Spoiler This will be the most liberal thing you will ever hear out of my mouth, but I can't help but think how avoidable all of these deaths could have been if we were just a little more communicative to someone on their side when our intentions turned from "help out all the people," to "Seek and destroy General AIDS".
February 19Feb 19 I think I need to rewatch the movie and then watch the doc. The movie better be on Netflix. Any boobs in the documentary?

As surprising as it sounds, they somehow made the documentary of American soldiers trying to escape a terrifying situation without showing as much as a nipple.

It is not as good as West Wing, but I am fully sucked in at the moment. It is really eerie that it was a 2014-2019 series and it's almost like watching our current reality.
February 24Feb 24 The Night Agent - Season 2 got pretty good. For a while there I wasn't even sure I was going to finish it. A few episodes in I just didn't even want to watch it anymore. I didn't hate it, it just wasn't worth the time, so I watched a number of other shows before I picked it back up. I'm glad I did because it got better. The Recruit - I watched season 1 when it came out, and I seemed to recall liking it when I saw that season 2 was coming out but when I got ready to start season 2 I realized that i didn't really remember anything about season 1. I remembered some of the characters but absolutely nothing about the storyline. Probably not a good sign. I'm going to watch season 2 anyway.
March 10Mar 10 If you're wanting to LOL try Running Point. Kate Hudson taking over as Pres of a basketball team. It's fictional but seems to follow a book about the LA Lakers. I don't really follow basketball, so I didn't mind, but some critics did. I thought it was funny as ish while also being a family drama. For me, the timing over this past weekend worked to keep my spirits up with the time change and the lull in sports and not having any social plans. They will be doing a 2nd season. It was 10 eps.

Netflix renewed the Night Agent but cancelled The Recruit. Should have done the opposite.
March 24Mar 24 Anyone else watch Adolescence? Remarkably acted and shot - each episode was shot in one long take. The actors who played the father and son are both incredible.

A true emotional rollercoaster, and I can't believe how all the episodes were filmed with 1 take. I think that father was "Tommy" from Snatch. 🤣
