It's definitely a low stakes show. Nobody is going to be solving any murders or fighting a dragon so you have to be ok with the central drama of an episode being the dynamics of a dysfunctional family or whether or not dinner service at a restaurant goes well.
It's not for everyone for sure but I was maybe the one big fan of Treme.

Ahsoka: pretty good overall but seems like it a) ran out of gas with lots of story left on the cutting room floor b) needed more writers in the room to flesh out ideas and break out storytelling beyond expository conversation. Could?ve fit in 10 episodes to give things more character/emotional weight.
Beautiful to see Ray Stevenson in this last character

I've been taking in City on a Hill. Some of it leaves you wanting more but man, Kevin Bacon is incredible. His character leaves you cringing, laughing in disbelief and angry all at once.

If you want a few nights of pure enjoyment, watch the Long Way Up. Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman drive electric motorbikes from the tip of Patagonia to LA over a 3 month span visiting many South American hot spots along the way. Utterly fascinating, entertaining and funny. I have just spent 12 hours smiling and laughing. Nice way to spend time.
Oh it is o Apple TV and two earlier trips called the Long way Around and the Long way Down are available. Will be watching both of them in the next while.
Would be a good idea to watch it with you kids or grandkids.

With the recent launch of the Masters of the Air trailers, along with it being around the time of Rememberance services, I decided to re-watch Band of Brothers.
It?s still an amazing piece of television even if you?ve seen it several times. It?s the kind of thing that should be mandatory viewing in school classrooms for that 15/16/17 kind of age group.
After finishing that, I decided to try The Pacific again. I?d never really got into it as much as BoB, but maybe I?m getting older and more receptive to the but I?ve been really drawn in this time.
Another change since I last watched either is I have a surround sound system linked to my tv. I?ve spent a lot of the last couple of weeks ducking bullets and artillery coming from all angles.
Very excited now for Masters of the Air.

I used to have a 10' screen in by old houses basement, with Bose surround. Wow, so Arn I know what you mean.
I remember watching The Last Samurai, there is a scene where Nija's are running over a rooftop and hearing the footsteps directly over our heads. God I miss that system. Would love to buy a Sonos system at some point. There was one in a place we rented in AZ and it was amazing.

Whats great is they do the trip on Harley Davidson Electric prototypes and electric cars for support. Was quite the ordeal the first week keeping things charges in such cold temps.Bullfrog said:

I've watched a few of them. It's exactly what you'd expect but generally gets about 1 big belly laugh per episode, which is a decent hit rate.
It's not particularly politically correct. It does actually have a bit more about it too, in terms of trying to round out the characters

I love it! I loved the first movie, didn't care for the second one. But the show is excellent. The actors are all amazing and make the characters believable and (in most cases) sympathetic. And I think there's just enough heart in the show as well (the bullying episode and the Christmas episode especially) to make it, IMO, more well rounded than FG is. That scene in the church, where Ted is 'arguing' with the priest just had me howling with laughter...culminating in Ted pressing his chest and the other voice says "I love you".. I just LMAO.

thanks for the clip link! I'm watching hockey at the moment on TV, but pulled that link up and my husband is wondering why I'm LMAO at the high sticking that just happened.
