I’ve enjoyed The Chase and The Hustler game shows on ABC but only by recording them and buzzing through the nonsense.

I can’t see or hear the words “the chase” without thinking of Kristy Swanson.

Yup. In reading that line I immediately thought of Kristy Swanson and Paul Newman.

Lupin, a French Netflix series, is pretty good. Based on a French version of Sherlock Holmes, but modernized. They split the first season up into two five episode parts, so not much of a commitment.

Good point. Lupin is a gentleman burglar - like Robin Hood. The author saw the popularity of Sherlock Holmes and wrote his version of it, for French audiences.Sherlock Holmes, master thief?
In later books, the two either face-off or team up - I'm not sure, as I've never read them.
But the show is a cool premise, because the books exist in the show and the main character is a huge fan of them.
Speaking of Sherlock, we watched the first episode of the BBC series with the kids last night - they loved it! Hard to believe the show is now 11 years old though.
How cool would it be to have Cumberbatch's Sherlock show up on an episode of Lupin? Both are on Netflix, fwiw...

My 12 and 14 year olds loved it. I think it might be too dark for younger children though.

The History Of Curse Words on Netflix is sort of mindless fun. Empty calories, but entertaining in its way.

Correct. I really disliked it. It changed up the formula and did it poorly. It was basically a straight mob story and a below average one at that.I have read in this thread that it is uncharacteristicly my bad.I really liked season 2.Finished Season 1 of Fargo. So awesome. I love that lady.

I may have liked Season 2 more than 1. Haven't been able to bring myself to watch the Chris Rock season yet.
We finished the Americans the other night. Absolutely superb series.

The Stand gets better with every episode. It has been much better than expected.
