Finished season 1 of The Crown.
Hubby likes British shows. We have Netflix, Hulu, Prime & cable. Any series recommendations?

Not "Fast and Furious." Good! You have to watch and listen: pay attention. Sounds like our cup-of-tea.A couple more episodes of Wallander with Kenneth Branagh. I really enjoy this show. There is violent crime, but it is so slowly played out, and quietly so, if that makes any sense...
Caught up on Taboo. Whoa!

On tap for tonight: At that point, work will be done, wine will be out, fire will be in fireplace and super girlfriend and I will be as ready as we can be for the crazy insanity of "Taboo."
We caught up on Agents of SHIELD last night. The dialogue was remarkably clever, with some lines that, in my opinion, rivaled some of the comments on the old MST3K. I don't think I'm spoiling anything for anyone, but if you haven't seen the episode yet, you might want to stop reading; I don't think anything crucial is revealed. When Holden Radcliffe awoke suddenly out of the "matrix" trance he complained about the interruption of a "pre-'Weekend' Godard" conversation. If I didn't have the subtitles on that would have rocketed right past me.
Later, Coulson, prior to going into action, warns the team to be ready for anything, including "sharks with lasers." What cracked us up even more was Coulson delivered it straight and uptempo. Add into that the flashback with Coulson and May (he a level 4 agent, she a level 3) and their goofy repartee, and May was laughing, smiling, and joking, we thought overall the episode was one of the most enjoyable yet.
NB: this might be a stretch, but the writer for this broadcast, Matt Owens, sort of in a way provided, for me, the sort of high-speed dialogue reminiscent of Preston Sturges.
Just found a DVD set of Generation Kill at a local thrift store. Simon didn't pull his punches in The Wire, and Generation Kill is not any different. Two episodes left.
Supernatural. What a weird episode. This season has felt...off. Which makes me wonder, even though they were greenlit for season 13, if that shouldn't be the last one. I think they've done just about all they can do with this show and it's starting to feel convoluted.
