What was the last TV show you watched?

[GHT]

André Rieu was in top form tonight as he compared snippets from his tours. A moving performance of "Smile" by Jermaine Jackson with pictorial backdrops of Michael.

Carlos Buono was just amazing.

For the finale somebody older than MickJagger wowed the audience, Trini Lopez. (He's 83.)

I finished Moon Knight on Disney+. I didn't like it. Despite a strong performance by Oscar Isaac, I thought it was the weakest Marvel series so far, and that it didn't make any logical sense by the conclusion. Which personality is the real one? Which side is evil? Does it really matter? Feh! Makes Iron Fist look like Shakespeare.

Just finished five of the six episodes and yeah it's underwhelming and frankly just confusing. I have a dozen or so comic books I bought when I was a kid, I think it was the Moon Knight Fist of Khonshu series, and from what I remember Marc Spector had some mental health issues (who wouldn't with an Egyptian god talking to you in your head) but wasn't full-on schizophrenic like the TV series seemed to be suggesting. Weird. Kinda pointless. Wouldn't make me want to become a Moon Knight fan and run out and collect Moon Knight comics, that's for sure.

Just finished "Landman" tonight. Decent show, some of the writing is a bit clunky. It would a mediocre show but Bill Bob Thornton is always watchable, he makes the show good.

We were the lucky ones (2024; TV miniseries, on streaming) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9114512/ The true story of a Polish Jewish family and how they escaped the Nazis. It's a tough watch in places, but an excellent piece of historical drama.

Spoiler

The surprising bit of the story - and it is entirely true - is that the whole family managed to survive the war (as hinted in the title). A real rarity.

It's well worth a watch - well made, gripping, beautifully written, and doesn't pull any punches. Also an insight into what went on other than the death camps. Those are an ever-present threat, but not directly covered as this particular family managed to evade them. In many ways that's one of the things that makes this story stand out, as it covers other aspects of the terrors European Jews faced from Nazi Germany that maybe aren't so popularly known. One thing that raised my eyebrows was learning how many European Jews escaped to Brazil as a place of safety - that being of course popularly though of these days more as "where ex Nazis escaped to after the war".

Eight episodes, all about 50 minutes each. Well worth two or three evenings of your time.
