good stuff on netflix

Think it was me. SWMBO didn' think it was realistic, her needing a hairbrush and fighting with her ex yet being ambassador to the UK. I liked it. The guy playing the PM is like England's Robert Duvall. He is everywhere. (Kinnear ?)

that's what's making it realistic....................it's what people do regardless of their position in the world - looking forward to more viewing tonoght after dinner

and she was supposed to go back to Afghanistan or Pakistan or somewhere uncouth anyway.

Afghanistan

Ava
Ava is a deadly assassin who works for a black ops organization, traveling the globe specializing in high profile hits. When a job goes dangerously wrong she is forced to fight for her own survival.

Good cast (Jessica Chastain, Colin Ferrell, John Malkovich, Geena Davis) Fast Paced
Little over the top as far as what Chastin's character was physically capable of but hey - go with it...

And watch the bodies pile up.

I also now know why Old Mud is partial to redheads.

You have to have an ultra high 4K device to watch it on with the premium. I have the standard package & it's fine for these old eyes.

Thanks. I do not need to see ass pimples...standard should work.

The Diplomat
Don't recall who recommended this but DAMN - it's a goodie. Had to pry myself away after 3 episodes. Liked Kerri Russell in the Americans a couple of years ago. She's matured into this role.

Got two episodes deep and liked it. Very much like Madam Secretary.

This from the person who TSKed TSKed anyone who watched pirated stuff on the Dark Web???

Now that was the pot calling the kettle black...

Treason (Limited Series)

a CIA, MI6, KGB mash up - pretty good - give it a try

Adam Lawrence was trained and groomed by MI6; his career seems set. When the past catches up with him in the form of Kara, a Russian spy with whom he shares a complicated past, he is forced to question everything and everyone in his life.

think I saw this last year and liked it. We are now finishing up Manifest, but God only knows why, lol. I did enjoy Extraction2.

Blood & Gold
Contrived, mindless but hey - killing Nazis isn't a bad thing..........................

*Blood & Gold is a German War Crime Drama film about a small village where at the bitter end of World War II, a German deserter and a young woman are drawn into bloody battle with a group of Nazis hunting for hidden gold.

The setting would give you the feeling of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds and it definitely has that touch.*

Dubbed.

Manifest - Season 4 & serieds finale
Finished up the finale blockbuster size Series Finale(30 episodes in all split into two parts) - brought it to a satisfying conclusion.

Wife and I binged the fourth season over the last few nights. At the conclusion we turned to each other and simultaneously remarked that we never saw a series end as well. (Maybe MASH ?) Unlike Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Lost and others, the final episode (no spoilers here) was simply terrific giving all the main characters a final scene. I have to Google it to see if that final episode was written four seasons back, I am just that curious. SWMBO was mad at me for not being that enthused about watching the final season, as I did not think the third season lived up to the first one and a half, but she has got to feel vindicated now !

Edited to add: The reviews of the second half of the final season are lackluster but it does seem like the finale was planned from the get-go. But like so many reviews, they can be taken with a grain of salt, if not the whole shaker. granted, this was not the second coming of "Band of Brothers" or "Breaking Bad" but overall an entertaining series that gave the two of us at least a satisfying outcome and ending.

thought it was a good conclusion

The Mother

I liked it. I've never really seen anything with Lopez it. She was pretty good & definately has the body for the role she was playing. It was a bit over top & contrived at times but overall very enjoyable & extremely fast paced..

I'd recommend it

It was OK. although its 20 years old, I liked her in a movie called "Enough"

Now bingeing "The OA." really weird but we have watched 10 of the 16 episodes.

saw that a year or so ago - don't remember too much about it however

"We" watch a LOT of TV shows and movies. While I do not ordinarily watch anything twice (except Saving Private Ryan, Jaws, Band of Brothers, Magnificent Seven, etc.) I rarely can tell you much about them over time.) While SWMBO won't watch it with me, I do want to see Gal Gadot's new movie. and off topic, but I am a real fan of "Lioness" on Paramount+.

Just watched "Heart of Stone." Sort of a Jane, not James, Bond. Formulaic, knew the good "gal" would win, but nonetheless entertaining. If you like Gal Gadot add a plus.
