I've been seeing clips of the show on YT and FB via the short videos for quite a while now. All of the clips always feature Fiona as the main character. It's worked up my curiosity, so I finally started watching last week (I'm only a few episodes in). It has held my interest. I'll watch some more. It's certainly not anything that I identify with.

Something that I found interesting (besides her other "assets" as referenced by Flatty) is that Emmi Rossum can SING.

Thanks for that. I had no idea she could sing. I think she could be a superstar if she chose to. Very believable acting in an unbelievable role as Fiona.

Yeah, so far, I feel like she's stealing the show (Shameless). Not that there's anything wrong with the rest of the cast.

"Murderbot" (is coming to appleTV in May... A security unit that hacks its programming to be self aware, watch soap operas and dislikes humans... I cannot embed squat, but you can find it on youtube..

Those (short) books were fantastic, funny scifi, and the adaptation looks pretty good. Really looking forward to that. Time to drop Paramount (end of all the 1923/1883/Lionness etc shows) and use that $ for Apple TV now

100% on rotten tomatoes !!! starts friday

Took me 6 years to get around to it, but I finally started The Morning Show on Apple, and it is impressive as hell. Smart writing great actors.

Paradise. On network TV. About a secret service agent and what happens in the white house. Ive only seen one episode but it is pretty good so far.

I brought that one up a couple pages ago. Best show of the season, excellent acting and good story... I hope there is a season 2 !
Murderbot above is also promising, the books were great !

[Scott Watkins]

On the Prime.

Your friends and Neighbors..
Apple TV. Really good!
John Hamm as a spiraling rich guy that ends up as the neighborhood burglar…

Dont trust the ***** in apartment 23. An old sitcom and only 2 seasons but its pretty funny.

I’ve now watched every episode of CHiPs, cool cars, kinda funny seeing the same cars being used in multiple episodes with different characters.
But man, watching whatever small thing even, distracts a driver causes them to crash and roll the cars, causing multi car crashes every time. Had the not been to Cali before, I would have thought that was fake (I know, staged and coordinated crash) but I saw some crazy crashes that are unexplainable.
I also watched the last 7 episodes of Georgie and Mandy‘s first marriage, since I have to keep my foot elevated and am having trouble standing and walking.

Dark winds season 3 was pretty decent... AMC+ (first 2 on Netflix)

[Steve Carlton]

Always got a kick out of "The Corbomite Manuever" on Star Trek. The alien at the end was played by a 7 year old Clint Howard with a voice dubbed in from Walker Edmiston (who I've never heard of). The idea of an immense and powerful ship being commanded by an alien that looks like a child with the voice of an adult is great. Good casting here, with the voice of Baylok's puppet provided by Ted Cassidy (Lurch, from The Addams Family).

Steve, wasn’t that the one where they had a drink called Tranya?
Made me want some!

[Steve Carlton]

Yes- it looked delicious!

My favorite scene is when the Fesarius pulls up. Kinda big! I could only find this in a split screen version and it's set to start at 8:42. So well done.

Moving forward to 1975 we have an ABC Movie of The Week "Trilogy of Terror," starring a then well-known Karen Black. This is the best of the three stories, "Amelia."

I remember seeing that in '75. Still good stuff after 50 years.
