The TV thread

That odd realization that the reason Claire Huxtable was always carrying shopping bags for a period of time on the Cosby Show is now playing an AUSA on Billions. I'm freaking old.

 

Haven’t watched the most recent season yet, but I think that it is super well written and they do a great job casting all of the actors. Sometimes, it seems like Bosch squeezes 60 hours into a typically day with all of the moving work/personal story lines.

 

Good point. Finished Season 1 last night. He seems to get to Vegas and back, and Tonopah and back, rather quickly. Reminds me of the old Baywatch TV show when they're at HQ in Malibu and get a call in Long Beach. They make it there in 5 minutes by boat.

 

Watched the first two seasons of "Line of Duty," a British crime procedural, on Prime. I believe there are five seasons so far, and it's still going.

Good stuff. In can get dense in exposition, but the acting is excellent and I've found it compelling.

 

We finished the first season of Run tonight. Some bits of the episode were fun, but I was underwhelmed by where they ended.

 

She was once a Sabatka. Can’t find that thread.

 

Line of Duty is one of my favourite Netflix discoveries. It's like Christmas when a new season drops. LOL

 

Anything Lennie James is in I will watch, but they have pretty much every top Brit TV actor on as the seasons go on. Jed Mercurio the creator of the show also did the "Bodyguard" series with Keeley Hawes.

 

Wasn’t she the one who was with Ziggy and was sleeping with Nick when he was arrested?

 

No spoilers but that was a crap last few episodes. I seriously doubt that HBO will order a season 2 and it would have been better with an ending which didn’t leave the doors open.

 

Agreed. Even if there is a second season, I just didn't think that was a good place to end a season.

 

I'm in a FB group about one of the Ringer's pop culture podcasts - The Watch - and the people watching "Run" were pretty universal in the idea that the quality really trailed off, and the finale was especially poor. Of course, hearing that made me want to see it more, but not enough at this point to actually watch it. Too much legitimately good TV out there, along with "comfort watches" like my retread of classic Law & Order.
