Strange Days on Max.
Even though it was made in 1995 about 1999, it’s still relevant, and gd, Angela Bassett is a badass.
This has been in development hell for well over a decade. I have read the book (same title) that it is supposed to be based on, so I'm really, really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I don't have Apple+, though I mayyyyy have a workaround for that. My only fear is that it is/will be a CGI-fest. I mean, BoB and The Pacific were much more doable for using practical effects and sets. Obviously a thousand-ship sortie of B-17s is not possible -- hell, there's only a few B-17s left still flying in the entire world and one of them was just lost a few months ago, unfortunately.Masters of the Air
I'm excited that it is finally on - it is the third series that started with Band of Brothers and The Pacific. If you havent's seen them, I highly recommend those as well.
True Detective Season 4
And the best news - the final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm starts Sunday!
Same. I had been waiting for this to be made for so long, and I was really worried about the inevitable CGI. I think they've knocked it out of the park, IMHO.Loving Masters of the Air on AppleTV so far. The wide screen aerial shots are CGI, of course, but well done. The B-17 interior sets are gritty and super realistic. Good characters and writing.
Watching a Finnish cop show, Arctic Circle, on Prime. There's a subbed & a dubbed version available, but you want the subbed one. The voice acting on the dubbed version is weak. Show is awesome, though. Great concept, great acting, terrific subplots.

Mr and Mrs Smith 2024: Entertaining watch, great acting.
I have been meaning to check this out for years. I'm basically with MTM right now (Curb, True Detective, Masters of air) but Brothers Sun and Reacher were both fun. How can you not have a good time with Thad Castle playing Reacher? My wife watches a lot of reality housewives trash, I tend towards erm... real shows done well, but I also feel it is important to pepper in corny/over the top stuff to bother her and properly balance the scales when we watch things together.Just started the Americans
I just started the Brother Sun as well! It’s pretty great so far!I have been meaning to check this out for years.

Oh I also picked up "For all Mankind" on Apple, which has been solid so far (only in first season).
