I was nervous about watching this, but since I loved 24 hours at the A&E, I decided to give it a try. I love how the British folks do medicine. This show was pretty graphic, but I really enjoyed it.

The part where they do the “face off” was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen. Amazing result too.
she was on that show “Hot in Cleveland “ on TV Land with betty white Valerie, what’s her name, and another chick who apparently guest appears on everything at some point
That was pretty nuts to me as well. My mother earlier this year had to undergo a surgery on her head and I now realize that the surgeons likely did a (far less extreme) version of what that guy had to undergo.
Those would be Valerie Bertinelli and Wendie Malick. I assume that you were referring to Wendie as the woman who guest stars on everything and not Jane Leeves.
yeah lol her
I adore the Pacemaker intro. I think the passive, even mildly annoyed expressions on the actors’ faces is what sells it.
Just watched the episode where Vigilante
tries to kill Peacemaker’s Dad.
That confrontation was pretty epic. Gotta hand it to this show for giving us the unexpected.
Mocking Jay Trilogy ….Third movie ….
What a cast
Quite the talent pool they attracted….Margery from GofT, Amos from the Expanse, Josh from Tarabitha, Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman… what a loss he is and Donald Sutherland …what a career, so many others.
Forgotten the scale of the series. 
I just started watching Modern Family. I had seen a few episodes when visiting family but never kept up with it. So far, I’m about 8 shows into the first season and it is hilarious.
One of my favorite comedies of the past 20 years. It’s occasionally brilliant.
Shardlow is a book series so if the first run was successful we will likely get more. I’ve only read one of the books, years ago, but enjoyed it (coincidentally it was the one that just got adapted). So hopefully more will come.
It’s a good show and IIRC, stays good for the entire run.
The bloopers of Gloria tripping over her own (hammed up for the show) accent are pretty funny too.
Something else they pulled off, which plenty of shows don’t, is keeping it funny while also doing a good job of keeping the story line relevant as three of the actors (Manny, Luke and Alex) went through puberty at the same time. And, thinking about that now, I wonder how much of a concern it is to start a show when three of the core cast members are 11 years old.
Speaking of older shows, I finally got around to watching American Dad. Up until now, I’d only seen clips (lots of clips, but clips none the less) of it on youtube, so I figured it was time to actually watch the show. I can’t say I’m going to watch all 400 episodes, but I’ll probably make it through the first few seasons before I run out of steam, then I’ll go back to watching clips.
Also, and I know there’s a thread for it somewhere, the new season of King Of The Hill.
I liked it until it started becoming the Roger the Alien Show (also featuring a family sometimes).
I watched Epi 1 of The Yogurt Shop Murders on HBO. Quite disturbing, and I’m not sure if I’ll watch subsequent episodes.
Anybody else watch the episode? It premiered just a couple of days ago.
Also finished Untamed (Netflix) last night and I disagree that it went far downhill. I think it started OK and finished OK. Yes, the “twist/reveal” at the end was totally obvious and the resolution thereof could not have been more predictable, so that was a bummer. And the trope of the stoic, damaged investigator is well trodden, so that was also a bit disappointing. But on the plus side the production values were high, the scenery was gorgeous, I liked the Vasquez character and her arc, and the relationship between Turner and his ex-wife was tender and interesting.
I’d give it a 6.5/10.
In other news, we tried the first episode of The Lazarus Project (Netflix) and boy was that a disappointment. No chance I will continue with it. Could be an interesting premise but the writing is lousy.
The Yogurt Shop Murders is progressing so slowly, like they want to show every video thay can get their hands on. At least Dateline would be done with it in under two hours; we don’t need four hours.
Streaming helped kill documentaries for me. The ability to turn things into a multi-episode series allowed documentarians to forget how to edit.
I think that’s a trait inherited from true crime podcasts, not something invented by streaming services per se.
Two episodes into Good Cop/Bad Cop on Prime.
The setting is a cozy mystery town of 9,000 with a requisite murder every week. The nepotistic police department includes two sibling detectives; a nice elder sister and a Sheldonesque younger brother. The humor is good and the characters are fun. The mysteries are kind of forgettable, but who cares?
I tried watching this tonight, they just spent like 10 minutes talking about riding horses. I’m halfway through the first episode and I have no idea what makes this case so special or interesting that deserves a whole series and I am not going to waste any more time to find out.
i watched untamed over the weekend. there are plans for a season 2.
went through andor, and rogue one, then decided an entire star wars rewatch would be interesting. i decided to go through a timeline list now that there are so many moving parts.
acolyte, followed by phantom menace, tonight will be attack of the clones.
for some reason i didn’t find jar-jar as annoying. perhaps it was because i had it more as a background watch as i was doing other things.
