Should go to bed, but still up, because of digestive issues. I ate something or drank it, not sure what, that made me gassy.
Television shows...
1. The Company We Keep - this is the one starring Milo V (from this is US and Gilmore Girls), Polly Draper, Sara Wallis Callis, William Fichtner, and various other. We have a Chinese American political family (at least I think it is Chinese-American), and a lower middle class, Italian-Irish Con family. Charlie is a con man, who runs a bar with his family - but the bar is really a front for their con business. Emma is a CIA agent hunting down an Irish Crime Syndicate, which Charlie's family recently conned, and is now forced to work for and with. Charlie falls for Emma, Emma falls for Charlie - neither know what the other does for a living. Oh, and one additional wrinkle - Emma's family is in politics, Washington Politics, and turns out? They might be a bit dirty. It takes place in Baltimore and DC. It's fun, the dialogue is good, the actors likable, and the plotting tight.
Airs on ABC, and can be streamed on Hulu.
It's my new favorite show - that I look forward each week. Mother and I both watch. (I'm waiting for the Citadel to premier on Prime.)
2. Daisy Jones and the Six
God, can this show be any more cliche? ( Read more... )
I'm disappointed by it. It's streaming on Amazon.
3. Picard
( eh...not the best episode on the planet.., cut for vague spoilers )
This is streaming on the Paramount App - which is a horrible app, and possibly among the worst, next to HBO and Amazon. It throws you out, as does Amazon and HBO. All three are hard to find stuff on.
Seriously Disney, Hulu, and Netflix are the best of the bunch, and that's saying something.
4. Alaska Daily ended well. It's done a good job of focusing more on the investigative process than on the characters personal lives. Reminds me a little of Lou Grant. However, it does get preachy at times on social issues, albeit necessary ones. I could do without the nasty father and the attempts to take down the newspaper and the free press, however realistic it might be. But the season long arc on finding the missing Native American girls, and bringing one of the abusers to justice, was good. As was the attack on the government not doing a better job regarding it.
Plus, good cast and acting all around. I rather like Hillary Swank, Dove, and the actor from Scandal. Plus all the other supporting characters. It's a well cast series.
Clearly filmed at least partially on location, it works well overall.
It's available to stream on Hulu, I think. Although the episodes don't stay up there very long - due to distribution rights.

The change in temperatures - has resulted in thunderstorms. We went from 66 degrees to 32 degrees in less than five hours. Hence thunderstorms. And lots of lightening. I tried to photograph it - but got nowhere close.
Shame - there was one that looked like it came from the ground, it had five lightening strikes clicking out from it. I could see the streaks come down from the sky - as if someone were actually throwing them at us.
