> [@Chefguy](#): > > He plays the dumbest of the Crowe tribe of criminals. It was a great role and he carried it off very convincingly. I always looked forward to seeing his character. I loved Dewey! I also liked Dickie Bennet. They were so comical but I always felt kind of bad for them. They were so dumb and always fell short in whatever they were doing. What a great show. ---

Damon Herriman (Dewey Crowe) also shows up in _Mr. Inbetween_, an Australian series that I enjoyed. ---

I liked that series, as well. I’m also enjoying the Aussie series **The Tourist.** ---

> [@Red\_Wiggler](#): > > Damon Herriman (Dewey Crowe) also shows up in _Mr. Inbetween_, an Australian series that I enjoyed. Wonderful show! It’s a pity Scott Ryan didn’t want to make any more, but I guess he had been playing the same character for decades and was done with it. An actor that wanted to branch out and prefect his craft but was never allowed to and so went on and did other things with his time. I respect that. ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > I wanted to enjoy the AMC series **Monsieur Spade** , with Clive Owen as a retired Sam Spade living in France, but as I like to put these kinds of shows on in the background while I bumble about with other stuff, and it’s over 50% in French language with subtitles, I found it impossible to know what was going on. I’m enjoying it quite a bit. We’ve been watching a lot of French shows lately, so the subtitles don’t bother me, and I prefer to watch the shows I’m watching as opposed to treating them as background music. I like the interplay of all the characters in the village, and Owens is doing a good job as an American. His French isn’t too awful, either, though he said it’s all phonetical. Pretty country, too. ---

I just watched the 3 episode crime doc **American Nightmare** on Max. Luckily, I knew nothing of the case. The way the story was rolled out was brilliant allowing the viewer to try to figure out what’s true or not until the last episode. I can’t say anymore without spoiling it. ---

I already knew the story from true crime podcasts I’ve listened to but the series added even more layers I didn’t pick up before. Absolutely insane story. ---

We loved this show and he also created/wrote the series. I hope he comes back to that type of work- looks like he doesn’t even have anything currently in the works? I’d be more than happy to see him as a different character. ---

He was in something recently with Webb again, but slightly different roles. Mitchell’s character comes back to his hometown to bury his father and run the family business. It’s darker than Peep Show and their Look, but I cannot remember the name and apparently my Google-fu is weak. It’s at least one season and I’ve been in the fence about picking up Britbox to watch it. Was kinda hoping you’ve seen it so I could ask if it’s worth the bother. ---

It’s darker than Peep Show and their Look, but I cannot remember the name and apparently my Google-fu is weak. Are you talking about Mitchell and Webb’s Back? I’m puzzled why this remark seems to have popped up in a conversation about Scott Ryan? ---

We’ve been binging **Northern Exposeure** on Prime. Just finished season 2. It hasn’t quite found its legs yet, and the production value is a lot lower than I remember. But it’s still quite charming, and I’m looking forward to continuing. ---

They got the music rights back as a big bonus. The Prime Streaming is better than DVDs I bought my wife a few years ago. ---

I just watched the newest Law & Order. Damn but Executive Assistant District Attorney Nathan Price is a moron. Okay, the prosecution claimed the defendant was addicted to opiods and stealing them. The defense claimed that the _victim_ was the one addicted to opiods. Hey ADA Price? When there is a murder, there is a complete autopsy on the victim, and that is admitted to evidence. That would include full blood tests. Just show that the victim had no opioids- or the defense could show she had. Or get a court order for the perps blood tests (which are routine) and Price could show the opiods there. Simple. Instead Price had to do some rather marginally unethical deals to get a conviction. Oh yeah and they caught the defendant bribing someone to get a alibi- but Price didnt bother to bring that up to the jury. Without those two bits of evidence, and being that the star witness was rather unreliable, I would have said “Not guilty, there is reasonable doubt”. ---

**Woman in the Wall** (Paramount) Starring the incredible Ruth Wilson, it’s a murder mystery connected to the [Magdalene Laundries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_asylum) and the present day survivors of that institution. Wilson’s character wakes up to find a dead woman in her house and we get to watch her try to make sense of it while the police investigate the murder of the local priest. The story is set in Ireland but the accents are not hard to follow at all, if that’s usually a problem for anyone. ---

I’m half way through Feud: Capote vs the Swans. Can’t say I’m enjoying it although I’m sure we’ll stick with it. Watching Babe Paley dying of cancer, but refusing to speak to much less forgive her oldest and dearest friend, who’s drinking himself to death … it’s just _sad_. I’m rooting for reconciliation and a happy ending but I doubt it’s in the cards. ---
