Well, all I can say is it sounds as though you saved my butt...this is precisely the kind of stuff that I loathe. This whole trend, the past few years--all shows are designed for teens, practically pre-teens, and all their emo BS is enough to make you scream. I mean, this bit about how "someone lied to me!" (to wit, the Umbrella Academy, the October Faction (name?), with two over-entitled children running the entire household, with parents APOLOGIZING to them, for not having raised them to know (insert deep dark family secret here), as if babies or children or even young teens are able to process that sort of crap...this other stuff around the "lying" and the crap with "OMG, I have to STOP WORK and emote (Instagram, TikTok, whatev) to talk about how OMG, I have to work 40 whole minutes and I'm gonna die!" I mean, WTF?? WTF?? Who does that? After all, pop culture is a reflection of real culture so...I won't watch this for "entertainment" because obviously, I don't find it entertaining at ALL. (Nor would I for 10 seconds put up with that in my office...oish.) I am so pathetically grateful I have the crew that I have. Don't anybody tell them that I said that. I can only barely afford to pay them nearly what they are worth!!! Hitch |

Do they ever explain how the ranch got Abbot's name? It was in his wife's family for 100 years, he didn't show up until 1968.

From watching the 1st season, I vaguely remember the Abbott family adopted Royal so he already had the name. Marrying your adoptive sibling may strike some as a bit creepy.

I've recently watched Sophie Rundle in The Diplomat and After the Flood-- both well done, I thought. And unlike many others here, I'm still enjoying Father Brown well enough after Season 11 (as well as S3 of its spinoff - Sister Boniface Mysteries) to keep watching. Must be the the soap fan in me, as I drew great enjoyment from S3 of Hope Street as well.

Finished Outer Range, kinda like Lost or Twin Peaks but without the interesting characters. Don't really care whether a S3 happens...
Then Cold Courage, a semi-coherent political "thriller" John Simm is usually OK but this story devolves into little more than blatant political pandering. |

I finally watched the first three episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Great series and the most enjoyable part of Star Trek I've seen in quite a while.

A few nights ago I watched Man in the Moon (first time). 1991 movie set in 1950s rural Louisiana. It was Reese Witherspoon's first movie. She was 14. I had recorded it in March on my public TV station.

Dark matter was a fun ride. The screenplay for the series was written by the author of the book it's based on (Blake Crouch).

We started with The Boys on Amazon Prime earlier this week. We watched the first two episodes and enjoyed it. So we'll be continuing with that.
