I’ve watched both Vera and Shetland, no more episodes left for me to watch. I didn’t have Netflix or a smart TV until March 2020. Shetland was the 2nd series I watched, after watching Homeland!

I added Prime, Paramount and BritBox 9 months ago.

She’s as good as it gets for us.

Sharp eyes might identify her councillor nemesis.

Started watching Gray last night

I started watching Ken Burns’ The American Buffalo last night.
I still look for Shelby Foote’s commentary…

More horror flicks: the well done but not particularly scary 15 Cameras, the very gory & snuffy v/h/s 85 installment. The John Carpenter anthology we started in on is absolute rubbish, unfortunately.

I just watched “A man called Otto” on DVD. It was OK, but it just felt like a less violent version of Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino”.

It was also a little too long. (in my opinion)

As I continue to work my way through the outstanding early-mid 60s shows Naked City and 12 O’Clock High (A QM Production!), I continue to be fascinated by how shows in that era dealt with sexual situations and other sensitive topics.

Also the endless parade of top-tier guest stars is great – last night’s !2 O’Clock High featured the perennial favorite Ed Binns (Patton, The Verdict, etc).

Does anyone else remember when there was only one Executive Producer for each movie/TV show? In recent years the list just goes on and on in the opening credits. Everyone wants to get in on the act/paycheck I guess. How many Executive Producers does it actually take to produce a movie or tv show. I mean really now.

And all the others involved, we’d joke about the ‘best boy’ position while imagining ‘best boy’ would need a support crew, too. Personal assistant to ‘best boy’, personal caterer, go-fer, personal trainer, nutritional consultant, etc…
