Finally got around to Deadwood and just finished season 1. It's as good as everyone says.
The characters are great and some of the supporting actors are just flat amazing, Brad Dourif and William Sanderson in particular.

The wife recorded the reboots of MacGyver and Lethal Weapon. While it did pay some homage to the original, the new MacGyver pretty much sucked. Maybe it was just dumbed down for the pilot episode, but they actually had a close up of a paperclip with the words "paperclip" next to the paperclip in case anyone didn't know it was a f*****g paperclip. The "Burn Notice" like monologues were also annoying. OTOH, the new Lethal Weapon wasn't half bad. Damon Wayans character needs some work but Clayne Crawford as a troubled redneck Martin Riggs had some very funny moments and has a lot of potential.

For those who are enjoing Gomorrah or just fancy a good political thriller I recommend Suburra. Same director of the series Gomorra, more focused on Rome, the center of political power in Italy. I hear a series will follow, much like Gomorrah.

ZOMG!!
Season 2 of Bosch is free on Prime! Excellent. I love this series; it's like Justified but without the Kentucky twang.
Plus Miles Davis.
Watched Episode 1, it was awesome. Will be watching all the rest over the next few weeks.
5 out of 5 for me.
Really really good series.
Almost makes me want one of those 1911 things.
Thanks for the recommendation - just finished the last two episodes of Gomorrah. Amazing. Best show on TV. Can't wait for Season Two to reach the USA.

Blackhat. It was entertaining, but I thought they could have cut the movie by about 30 min. 7/10.
Designated Survivor - I like the series. The whole Government is destroyed except for the designated survivor (Keifer Sutherland as HUD secretary). All the bureaucrats and generals left are buttwipes. Great scene when the Gov. of Michigan goes Hitlerian to put Muslims in camps. The new Pres. asks for two constitutional lawyers for options and they blather like DC idiots.
One of my favorite shows that was cancelled was Copper. Bought the series on Blue Ray, and added 4 seasons of Ripper Street. Ripper Street has been a fun show. Now that I am not watching things like the NFL, or cable news I am enjoying a lot of the BBC type series.

"If I had a grandpa, he would look like Delbert Belton".
Foyle's War is also very good.
WWII backdrop, and well directed with good writing. Plus, those colorful supporting actors the Brits seem to do very well.
The Magnificent Seven, the re-remake. And yes, I did. Pretty light on the moralizing, heavy on the gunplay.

If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
