TV Shows I am enjoying …and Movies

Age of Ice. A documentary series on PBS, which just started, two episodes in. Two thumbs up from my wife and I.

I’ve been wanting to see this! I missed the first episode. I’ll have to stream it with my PBS Passport.
 
currently watching The Hunting Party.
It involves serial murderers which makes the series ok in my book.
 
I'm sure I'm one of the few hangers on, but I still like to watch Deadliest Catch. I remember when it first came out telling folks "Have you see this show!?"

As the producers say "Splashin' and Crashin'". I love the cinematography of the show, the boats on the water. See the cameras on the boat, rock solid, "the boats not moving, just the waves outside", then they cut outside the boat and, yea, that's not what's happening. The boat is a cork in a tempest.

The show is all about the editing, we only see what they show us. It's been a rough season for sure so far, everything is breaking. Hydraulics, generators, throttles. One crewman fell into the water and had to be recovered, he was, safely.

One boat (not a "star" boat, but a boat in the fleet) was lost. Crew got off, and they'll salvage the boat, but it got caught adrift to close to some rocks and floundered. But anytime the Coast Guard yanking folks on a half sunk boat in the water, its a bad day.

Last night, and I don't think it's the latest episode, we're not quite caught up, it got much worse.

A crewman on the Aleutian Lady was carried over and did not survive. For folks paying attention, it wasn't necessarily a surprise. They had a dedication to his passing at the start of the season. But it was a bit surprising that they had an episode dedicated to it. Most of the time, things like this happen off screen, for obvious reasons. But this is the first time something like this has happened to a boat featured in the show.

It was well done, horrific to sit through. They certainly didn't have to air it. They certainly didn't air it without the support of everyone involved. But it was tough to watch. Little too much reality in the TV.
 
Slow Horses on Apple TV is still my favorite. All 3 seasons and season 4 thus far. Good action, good characters and Gary Oldman's character is greasy and smelly enough that you can almost smell him through the TV.
 
10/9 in 2 days, Netflix: Animals.
Gillian Anderson, Ben Affleck, Kerry Washington (Scandal star), Matt Damon and more. Best pick up some killer popcorn for sure…

Really enjoyed the books and the show follows well especially Oldman’s character.
 
Not sure if everyone likes D&D but I am really loving Vox Machina on Prime. It's animated and it was a reach as something to watch with the wife but she is really into it and even she chuckles at the raunchy humor. Sad to hear it will only get one more season but happy to find out Critical Role has Mighty Nein going and also a web series but not sure how the live action stuff will play out with the wife.
 
Interesting war scenarios played out in space with satellites and space lasers, which I rather enjoyed. NOVA episode titled "Space Wars" (Season 53, Episode 12) explores multiple military threats and conflict situations in orbit.
