Had most of the day off and binged American Primeval on Netflix, directed by Peter Berg who gives himself a cool, yet foolhardy, cameo
All six episodes are outstanding, the attention to period detail was superb and it tells a story worth telling about the old west... those were lawless days, you could damn near get away with anything if you were smart |

I get it -- early episode and the beginning of mythology that ends up spanning eons. It couldn't be too terribly rapid. But phew, it was hard to get back into it. I'll get there at some point, I suppose. But it's not a page turner for me at the moment.

Keeping with the western theme, I'm one episode in on this Wyatt Earp/Ok Corral docuseries on Netflix
Narrated by Ed Harris, with excellent live action playing out the true story... for all of the reading I've done about this subject, still didn't know half of what the actual story was For some reason I was thinking it'd be a dull retelling of the same old story using mostly old pictures etc, but no its a fascinating look back at that era with solid actors and sets etc Imagine this, $6000 in 1881 money is a 180k today |

Season finale of Silo was pretty good up until the last 10 ****ing minutes and they ruined a perfectly good season finale. God damn pointless shit.

So is Silo worth watching then? Does it kind of ruin things? I started the first episode the other night. Wasn't 100% sold on it but I could see where I might like it. Anything that is post apocalyptic is kind of a easy sell for me.

Watch it though, because the first season is amazing and i thought the second season was pretty good, but just a bit slow. |

Night Agent on Netflix is coming back soon. It’s definitely pretty boilerplate spy type action show but I enjoyed the first season. It’s not breaking any new ground but it’s not trying to.

Then I didn't like the 2nd season. In part because I just don't think it was as good, but also I think knowing where everything leads takes some of the mystery out of it. So I'll probably have to defer to the folks that haven't read all the books as to whether the 2nd season was objectively worse -- I sure thought it was. By quite a bit.
