Tom Hardy's presence will have me leaning into just about anything he's in.
Meanwhile: Queen of the South. Yes, narco shows are being completely overdone. If you aren't sick to death of them (and a few episodes of this one may convince you that you aren't), this may be worth a watch.
Meanwhile2: If you haven't binged The Shield...
I highly recommend it. We watched it last night. After you gut through the “young men being raunchy” interludes (accurate, no doubt, but doesn’t bring much to the story telling), the movie is excellent.
Blues - you’ll get even more than I did out of it, as you’ll be able to follow the battle sequences better than I could, having not read the books yet.
We bought the movie, and I’ve downloaded one of the books already. Once I’ve done appropriate study, I’ll watch again.
Oh, and watch through all the credits- there are clips and interviews of the actors and some of the participants.
Superb show. Highly recommended. I kinda liked Legend, although the movie itself wasn't as good as his performance(s).

Watching Ash vs Evil Dead, a Starz series available on Netflix. It's directed by Sam Raimi, and nails the feel and cinematography of the original movies perfectly. Bruce Campbell still has it.
I'm not particularly optimistic that we'll see another season of "Taboo" with Hardy. But I'm still hoping.
There's nothing civil about this war.
This is a short Sci-fi flim produced by for DUST. About 15 minutes. Lab Rat.
The Old Guard on Netflix. Pretty cliched. Squad of long lived, fast healing commandos who do good. Caught by bad guys to dissect. They get away. Usual John Wick gun handling. They never miss, bad guys are one shot stops. A hostage, blather scene with a stupid resolution that could have been handled by shut up and shoot.
If I had paid for it beyond the streaming, I would be annoyed.
Dr. Sleep - a sequel to the Shining. Not as scary as the movie or the book. Bad guys with ESP powers hunt kids with the same to steal their energy. The little kid (now grown up) from the Shining and new powerhouse kid take them on. The hotel ghosts enter the fray.
Sensible gun usage (with one major tactical mistake) by the good guys. No standing there waving the kitchen knife. Optics - need I saw more.
Worth watching if nothing to do. Now back to digging around in carbine parts.
