This is the “all-star” version of Naked and Afraid, where they follow around the same groups for the entire season. My wife and I love it and the new season started last night. I just recently tried fubo tv and decided to keep it. Watched some of the original when it started. Have caught myself and the wife watching it. I don't know why it's entertaining because the concept is ridiculous but I can't stop watching. I do make fun of the people and their lack of skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Started watching season 4 of Stranger Things this weekend. I believe it was released Friday on Netflix. So far 3 episodes in and it is darker than the previous 3 seasons. The kid actors definitely had a major growth spurt in the 2-3 years between filming the previous season and the current one.

IUFLA Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Watching "The Unauthorized History of the Vietnam War" on Fox Nation (free first year for veterans). Very interesting documentary. The storyline about Robert McNamara and his insistence that "metrics" could win a war (or a baseball game for that matter 😉) shows how shortsighted he was in matters of armed conflict. Some really good footage as well. Edited June 1, 2022 by IUFLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Just finished the last season of Peaky Blinders. Cillian Murphy deserves whatever awards he’s nominated for. Read that they are going to make a follow up movie that takes the story through the end of WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoyeCowbell Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 FX's The Old Man - Jeff Bridges as an ex-CIA operative with a complicated past that's suddenly been thrust back upon him. Also starring John Lithgow and Amy Brenneman. Top notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 While in quarantine the last couple of days, I've watched the first two episodes of The Terminal List on Amazon Prime. It's an 8-episode season based on the Jack Carr novel of the same name. The book was the first in a series featuring ex-Navy Seal James Reece. I've read the books, and didn't really care for the Terminal List when I read it. Thought it was a touch too violent. But, I enjoyed the next two books in the series quite a bit more as the Reece character continues to develop. Without giving away any important plot information, The Terminal List is set in the aftermath of a Seal Operation gone very badly. Reece led the mission and is convinced it was a setup. I say anything else and I start giving away plot spoilers. The first two episodes are very intense and translated very well to TV. It's worth watching even if you have not read the books. Chris Pratt stars as Reece. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Not a TV show, but I LOVED this 9 minute review of the new Top Gun Maverick movie. Spoiler: the reviewer loved the movie, and it shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Just started a The Terminal list so I skipped the posts on it. I’m only one episode in. The whole thing seemed familiar to me. I realized part way through that episode I had read the book. We just finished a series titled The Tourist on HBO Max. We really liked that.

There aren't really any spoilers in our posts above. I'm 4 episodes in and I have to say the tv series is helping me better understand the nuances of the book. I mentioned above that it was not a book I liked that much, but the tv series is piecing some things together for me that I missed in the book. If you enjoyed the book, then I encourage you to read the next two in the series. I liked them a lot better. The character develops and the violence, while still there, does not seem as overwhelming in the latter two books.

Steubenhoosier Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just finished Stranger Things last night. Not sure what to think. Definitely setting up for the final season. I started watching Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. Steve Martin and Martin Short are so good together and Selena Gomez plays the perfect snarky young person 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoyeCowbell Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Outer Range on Amazon Prime. Yellowstone meets X-Files. Josh Brolin in a NCFOM-type role. Pretty good! A little soap-y at times, but beautiful cinematography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 My son got me to watch Stranger Things and Ihave really enjoyed it and looking forward to Season 5. I just saw that Millie Bobbi Brown of Stranger Things will be attending Purdue. If true she will definitely be the best thing to come out of PU since Neil Armstrong. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/08/14/millie-bobby-brown-stranger-things-purdue/10323536002/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I found out one of my favorite mini-series back in the day is on YouTube (for free) Both "Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" are out there. They're based on novels by Herman Wouk, probably my favorite author ("The Caine Mutiny" is a classic as well). I'm not much for fiction, but when I do watch it, I like it being based on historical facts... anyway, Episode 1... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
