Maybe finally start Night Agent
Succession binge
Night Agent is Great so is The Diplomat.
I’ve got the both of them on my watchlist. I’ve heard nothing but good things about both shows. Netflix certainly renewed them posthaste.
Before watching the start of season4. I re-watched 1-3.
I’m starting Class of 09. Reminds me of Quantico. Flash backs and even flash forwards.

Guardians of the galaxy vol 3 (rewatch 2nd time in imax 3d) loved it the first time
I am lucky enough to be at All Elite Wrestling Dynamite live tonight in Austin!!! Super excited!
just watched guardians of the galaxy vol.3 on my cellphone , good movie
It’s DVR catch-up day for me.
Well I’m in the minority as I can’t wait to see what happens on FWAW. It’s the only show of this sort that I watch. Allen/Khelsi? Hunter/Meaghan? Ryan will be all alone again. And Landon? Girl with green hair. Those are my guesses.
I really liked this show. It was well done without a lot of drama. The farmers they chose are just wonderful country boys. Don’t know if you are right about green hair girl though. That one has me torn.
As for Farmer Wife. The black guy has zero personality and even less charisma.

I’ve enjoyed True Lies. It’s silly, but I always seem to get a few laughs. Liked it better than Company you Keep.

The John Campea Show on YouTube. Interesting Conversation about Movies & TV
Awkwafina
What show?!? Campea no longer does live shows (except for Open Mic). I’m calling it now – he’s going to announce his retirement before the end of the year. He pissed off a lot of fans with all the changes; which really began within the last few months.
I could watch all of his shows until yesterday. I thought it was a glitch. He mentioned his show was on Spotify.
However, I watched his YouTube channel on my TV & NOT my computer. I just realized today when I couldn’t find it that it wasn’t going to be on YouTube anymore. I’m so bummed!!

Guess I’m one of the few that’s going to miss True Lies. Like that it didn’t take itself too seriously.
I liked it too. It was just good clean fun with a dash of espionage.
I cannot believe True Lies has been cancelled. It seems once a great show begins the Network cancels it! How disappointing!!!

The Family Stallone does not look appealing at all. Sylvester sold out for his fame hungry daughters.
I see CBS is at it again they are becoming the worst network
I really like true lies,
Why was True lies only given 1 season before it was able to build an audience? It seems CBS is fast to judge & cancel a program without trying it in a better time slot. It was a slow start for me to get interested. But, I like the male lead Howey from the Reba show yrs ago. He’s entertaining & his comedic talents were out of this world on Reba. Was not impressed with actress who played his wife on True Lies. Wish they had given it one more season to see if it could build an audience. To bad… I think the lead Male “Howey” should be cast elsewhere since this show didn’t last.
