What are you watching these days?
Front-Ranger:
I usually don't watch series like "The Diplomat" (on Netflix) but was intrigued by the back cover of the New Yorker. It is well acted, and part political drama, part relationship drama, and part cultural satire. I am now in the second watching because I missed a lot the first time around. The repartee goes so fast and I miss out when I get fixated on looking at the gorgeous Rufus Sewell!

Two shows I'd been watching through four seasons ran their finales Sunday: Succession and Barry. Both were good. I'd feel bereft if I weren't also currently watching Dead Ringers and White House Plumbers. The Diplomat is also on my list, as is something called Jury Duty that my son recommended: it's kind of a reality show about a jury except everyone in the cast is a scripted actor except for one person who thinks it's real.
Front-Ranger:
Working outside was impossible today so I watched The Fabelmans, which I borrowed from the library. I didn't even recognize our own Michelle Williams who plays the mother. A cameo appearance was made by David Lynch as the film director John Ford, who gives young Steven, er, Sammy, some good advice. Yes, it's a Spielberg film, his most autobiographical yet.
Other great performances were by Judd Hirsch, Seth Rogan, and young Gabriel LaBelle, who plays young Spielberg, er, Fabelman. He is a person to watch!

I got halfway through it a couple of months ago, thought it was OK but got tired and went to bed. Then I think my rental expired before I could get back to it and I haven't watched the second half. But on your recommendation I may give it another try.
CellarDweller:
The Dead Files started their new season a few weeks ago, I've been watching that.
