I checked in to see if there was anything after 5/5 of The Expanse last night, still nuttin. Then I spent 15-20 minutes scrolling thru everything Netflix had, and finally settled for some psychedelic trips discussion by several famous people. I had no idea Deepak was an experimenter.
Then I went to bed.

I just watched the first episode of something that just came out on Netflix. It's called "Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan".

Since I'm always interested in that stuff I found it to be quite good. It's a "docuseries" as per Netflix so it's an interesting style of production drama like a regular series but also a documentary with historians providing commentary. Only watched the first episode but plan to watch the rest. There's a total of 6 episodes.

we just finished 'santa clarita diet' last night. it's such a fun series and we're hoping it somehow gets revived for a season 4.

we also watched / are watching a couple that my wife has forced upon me:
- 'behind her eyes' is completely boring...avoid!
- 'firefly lane' is better than i expected. yes, it borders on melodramatic at times, but the script / characters also deliver enough self-deprecating humor to provide balance.

We started Tell Me Your Secrets on Amazon Prime. Starts a little slow but gets pretty good by the end of the first episode. I think we’ll stick with it,

I wrapped up Season 1 and 2 of Warrior. I really hope it gets picked up for a third season. This show has so much more to offer and so many more stories to tell. The writers did a fantastic job wrapping history around this highly entertaining fictional story.

Not sure if this has been covered but I started watching Industry. I saw the trailer when it was released last year and I wasn't up for it at the time. I saw that it got renewed for a second season so I decided to give it a go. It's been a decent watch so far.

We binged this over this weekend. We both liked it. Recommend checking out if you’re looking for something to watch. Stick with it through the first episode as it starts slow.

True Detective on HBO Max. I would like to note that the app for HBO Max is garbage.

And what's sad, is that it's dramatically better than if you have/had HBO through the Hulu as an add-on. There wasn't even a search feature!

Spoiler alert!

Spoiler alert!!

Finished season five of the expanse tonight. I can't believe I have to wait till next November or December to catch season six, rumored to be the final season.

I can't believe they killed off Alex!?!?

Season 1 and 3 were excellent, season 2 was trash other than Rachel McAdams.

Wife read that. We're on S2E4 right now. It is definitely more 'straight forward' as the writer supposedly attempted. At the moment, there's a lot going on with all the characters... presumably it will all somehow tie together. So far, not like S1 but not bad. It's a bit like an odd attempt at a darker Guy Ritchie film, though.

My primary gripe is login related. I created my account on a PC and then went to set up the app in my PS4. Got the code but couldn't log in via the PC that I had just created the account on (not sure why I logged out). Resetting my password did nothing even though I'd get confirmation that my password changed. I dont recall how I got past it.

Fast forward to Sat and I went to set up the app on an upstairs TV. Same issue. Somehow I managed to use Chrome on my phone to get it to work using the same password that was failing on the PC. Now it is fine on the PC. Any other browser on my phone would fail. Dolphin browser would give an error from HBO.
