Watching 2nd season of Vikings: Valhalla. Not as good as first season so far and neither as good as The Last Kingdom.

Too Harry Potterish for me, I don’t like fantasy stuff.

4th Season of Fauda just popped up on my welcome to Netflix screen. Perhaps its because I interviewed Palestinians while conducting background investigations for Uncle who needed Arabic, Urdu, Pushtu and Farsi interpreters but I have really enjoyed this series. Thanks again Wader ! Salaam Alaikum !

Season 4. Wow, just wow. This show is an absolute hit across the mideast. Talks are underway re: a possible movie but I hope that they do a season 5 instead. Supposedly we find out in mid February if there is a season 5. Quite the cliffhanger in season 4 !!

Glass Onion

Very good. Throughly enjoyable. Daniel Craig was great in the part with a good supporting cast.

just finished it also...imagine living in those times where you could be raided and killed or worse. Even up to today some have it like that. When I asked my Dad why did the Irish rely on potatoes to survive, He said it was the only crop they couldn't ride thru and burn down because it was underground. His Father was a Dublin Police man but also IRA

Watched “The Northman.” Or is it Amazon lol !? Meh. “Narvik” was excellent. SWMBO and I started “Women at War.”

that one iw on my list

Finished off Black Butterflies last night............

It's a French thriller about a struggling novelist who inadvertently finds himself working for a serial killer. Very intense at times & as with most European dramas - very low key, slow boil story until it explodes from time to time.

What I watched was in French so subtitles were required. Although this trailer is in English so there must be an English version.

Kept me engrossed.

Just watched “The Outfit.” Academy award winner mark rylance starred. Well worth it if English style whodunits are your cup of tea (pun intended)

Two french "soaps" or limited series (8 less than hour long episodes each) had SWMBO and I bingeing the past week. Both starred three of the same attractive actresses, something for everyone, LOL: a redhead, a blonde (ooh la la) and brunettes. "Bonfire of Destiny" and "Women at War." Cliches galore, villains like in "Perils of Pauline" but if you watch them with your better half they were even more enjoyable. First set in 1898 Paris and the second at the front lines on WWI.
( I didn't even mind the dubbing and close captions that didn't match. If so inclined, don't let that stop you.)

I've got Women at War on my list - looks like I have to add Bonfire.......

Working my way through it - pretty good so far.

have to give "Black Butterflies" a shot. thank God for these cable and streaming services. no longer have to find something else to watch when a bunch of over the hill politicos pontificate and accomplish nothing.

Godless, released 2017. A real gritty(Noire) Western worth a look see.
