White Collar on Netflix. This a tv series with six seasons. I just watched the first three episodes, and I’m hooked!

A young convicted criminal, whose expertise includes forgery, art theft, etc., is let out of prison early to help the FBI solve white collar crimes, hopeful of getting a new lease on life, all while having his own agenda to be free again.

So you have a mix of crime solving with a big sense of humor. Quite a treat, and it’s TV-14 rated. 👍 The characters (and the actors) are quite charming and charismatic, with a good dose of Yin and Yang going on. Great entertainment and fun.

My favorite movies about horses are Seabiscuit and Secretariat, both heartwarming stories about unlikely heroes.

These days, I will no longer watch the races on tv. In recent years, many horses are dying at the tracks, all because of the $$$$$$. 😢

Any Star Wars fans out there celebrating today? You can find everything Star Wars streaming on Disney+. My favorite is Return of the Jedi.

@SummerOnTheWay1 Wish I had something new to share but my life is mostly chores 😉 followed by 20 minute sauna. My husband has begun crying through most of it, as we moved the seat up for more heat exposure.

Have you watched Maryland on PBS, looks interesting. I am still watching Max Miler on Youtube most every night. Food and history in about 15 minutes and it hits the spot.

1 comment (5/10/24) @LaDolceVita , I saw where you are posting "furbaby" pictures for Allen but when I was begging both you and Ms. Stretch to post some for me = zero.

Lol, poor hubbie!!! 🤣😂

I luv the 1st episode of Maryland and looking forward to 2nd. 💃💃💃

SO GOOD to hear from you.

Thank you,

Nicole 👵

2 comments (5/16/24) 📺 Anyone watched THE PARIS MURDERS on PBS?

I plan to at 4:30pm ET today IF my free PBS Android app decides to stay on the channel that is NOW showing.

Lol, one NEVER knows... 🤣😂

I hope I like it!!!

Thanks,

Nicole 👵

2 comments (5/17/24) Lol, nope - was in French I am guessing with ENGLISH captions. I just DO NOT understand WHY the "version" of whatever PBS decides to air in the USA cannot be spoken in English. Anyway, glad I got to see it and now know it is NOT one for me.

@SummerOnTheWay1 I really wanted to watch The Paris Murders, but when I saw it was with English subtitles, I gave up. It’s too hard to keep up with the subtitles. I do like the foreign tv shows that have English (usually British English) voice over, e.g. Money Heist on Netflix (Spanish with English voice over).

Netflix just released the 3rd season of Bridgerton, their hit romantic period drama series. This season focuses on the characters Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.

Season 3 of COBRA is on PBS Passport. (Not sure when it will be televised or if it’s on the free app.) This is a UK drama series where top level government officials are fending off threats to national security, and as a result, dealing with the problems that arise in their personal lives.

Watched Gaspar Noé's movie Vortex (2021) last night. This hit home.

A retired psychiatrist with dementia and a struggling author with a heart condition live their final days together in an apartment.

This film deals with an aging couple coming to terms with their deaths and the impending doom that awaits them. In short, it's a film about old age, dementia, separation & eventual death. When the brain disintegrates before the heart.

Gaspar Noé's movies aren't generally for the faint of heart & are rather unusual. This one was filmed in Split screen following 2 characters. & in French, though well subtitled.

HAPPY dance time = Grantchester is BACK on PBS here in Virginia TONIGHT!!! 🙃

Any OTHER fans out there?

Now, NO ONE has replaced Sidney (the 1st one) and I do get to see him AGAIN & AGAIN thanks to Prime adding PBS Drama to their service.

Take care,

Hi, Nicole!

Just an aside (and promo for PBS), I donate $5 per month to local PBS station and have access to all the seasons of Grantchester (and many other great shows) via PBS Passport.

Only $0.99 less than PBS/Masterpiece on Prime but same shows available and a worthy cause, imho...

Counting down to tonight!

SummerOnTheWay1

Yes, @WebWiseWoman - having PASSPORT access on PBS is awesome. At the moment I have no spare change as my Retirement Social Security is it each month. NOT complaining, grateful. I use the FREE Android PBS app to watch certain shows. NOT a fan of sitting in front of TV, so have NOT had one for over a decade. But for Grantchester, I will sit for that hour. 😉

Enjoy!!!
