So, this is not a new series, but "The Night Manager", with Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston is excellent! It's a modernized adaptation of a John Le Carre novel. Hiddleston plays a veteran, hotel night manager, and eventually spy / good guy. Hugh Laurie is the antagonist and plays an utterly charming and ruthless international arms dealers. It's like a 6hrs James Bond movie with all the corny aspects removed. It's awesome.

@JDelage Loved the Night Manager, I think @Alex put me on to that a little while back

100’ wave is pretty decent.

[zhivago]

Revisiting Breaking Bad top to bottom, might be my favorite series ever! SO good.

Season 2 of Ted L is off to a GREAT start!!

[mclaincausey]

Agreed on both!

@Bfd70:

100’ wave is pretty decent.

.          Going to watch that tonight.

[Joberwocky]

I'm just looking forward to the next season of "what we do in the shadows" or "the expanse".  Baseball has been filling my time

[jordanscollected]

I'm planning to sign up for another month of HBO to watch 100 foot wave and White Lotus.

[Jett129]

Thought the 100 Foot Wave was a 1 hour documentary,as opposed to 5 episodes. Got through episode 1 yesterday may or may not continue.

Late to the party, but I really love Alone and Alone: The Beast.

For those who are unfamiliar, it's a reality show (normally I detest those) where the contestants see who can survive in the wilderness with limited tools. The last contestant standing gets $500k. The Beast is a bit different, where teams of 3 survivalists have NO tools and must use the corpse of a beast such as a moose to survive 30 days.

Fascinating stuff and makes me wish I had a mastery of bushcraft.

[Joberwocky]

Damn @mclaincausey , where are you watching alone the beast?? I like the original but that sounds better

[SKT]

First off, Alone, beast edition sounds insane and I’ve got to find it.  Don’t think I’ll be able to convince the wife to watch that one…

[mention]Joberwocky [/mention] Im with you and love “what we do in the shadows”.  Movie was one of my favorites and the series is great as well. Can’t wait for it come back.

We tried getting into White Lotus but didn’t love episode one. Does it get better?

[Joberwocky]

@SKT  yelling "Baaaaaat" or "human form" has become a mainstay in my household

[SKT]

I’m stealing that. My kids will think I’ve gone nuts.  His use of the word “shit” is also a work of art.

[mclaincausey]

@Joberwocky Hulu. It’s A&E instead of History like the original.

@SKT i failed to mention the best part: it’s in the Arctic at the start of winter. So lots of brown and black bears and wolves about in addition to the climate. I think Northwest Territories, Canada perhaps.

Which reminds me of another favorite survivalist show, Survivorman. Les Stroud at least used to live in Yellowknife. That show needs to join one of the streaming platforms.

[SKT]

[mention]mclaincausey [/mention] I found it and just started the first episode. I forgot how big a moose is!  I’ve field dressed lots of deer and I can’t imagine doing it with a sharp(ish) rock.  I’m hooked and already wondering what they’re going to use all the “parts” for.

[Joberwocky]

@mclaincausey and @SKT ,.and so it begins, alone:the beast ep1!

[SKT]

It’s nuts and I have some questions after watching episode 1 [mention]Joberwocky [/mention]

[Joberwocky]

I finished the first episode and it wasn't quite what I was expecting.  Don't think it would be a self-contained episode.  I'm currently watching alone s7 and its been enjoyable @SKT
