Traffic cops

To be honest you only need the first one. I would suggest that instead of Lethal Weapon 2-12 (or whatever), watch "The Last Boy Scout" for a bit of Damon Wayans backstory.

I started to explain who Danny Glover was only for him to pop up in Monster Trucks

This school hols I cracked open my box set of Laurel and Hardy DVDs and we've been wading through the films and shorts. My 11 years old laughs just as hard as I ever did while watching them.

I haven't seen last boyscout, yet. 
I am still just watching Game of Thrones, Vikings, and now I've finally started watching Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad for the second time.

Ha.  I watched Sons of Anarchy and Breaking bad for the second time a few months back.  I found they both held up well for a second viewing.  We're loving Better Call Saul and Billions.  I was wondering if there would be a further spinoff from Better Call Saul.  Which character's backstory would be worth exploring next?

I haven't had a chance to wa4ch saul since Jimmy got screwed over the first time, but there is a strange depth to that universe, and it's illustrated beautifully because they have to source everything back a few years, like jimmy's suzuki esteem, and all the flip phones.

I try to pick up seasons of bb at goodwill, but so far I've only found 1 and 2.

Without discussing copy protection software, those discs are particularly hostile to copying.

Image doesn't show up for me.   Tried turning off ad blocker, but that didn't help.

BB seems like the sort of show that you either like or you don't.  I can see why it would rub some people the wrong way.  I do think it owes a bit to Quentin Tarrantino in its reverse narrative format and the somewhat fragmented way of telling stories.  It has a talented cast and good writers.

Aaron Paul is in a series that probably would not appeal to even many fans of BB, The Path.  I'm near the end of the second season and I still find it sort of off putting.  There's something claustrophobic and unnerving about the insularity of the cult that is the focus of the series and the inability of even the brightest members not to be able to act on separating themselves even when they determine that the whole business is B.S.

Billions is further testimony to Damian Lewis' range as an actor.

8ully, many California public libraries now have a free streaming service that affords access to tv and movies called Hoopla.  If you have a library card, you should be able to register for it online.  It doesn't appear to have BB as one of the shows offered, but it's got movies and several recent series on offer.

I never really got BB. Probably because of the UK equivalent of:

That's a riot.  I don't know whether to laugh or cry especially now that the barbarians have taken over the government.  I'd consider moving to Canada but it's too cold.

Managed to obtain the full series of

both are a gastronomic paradise that makes you want to rush off to the airport and visit them, plus quite decent scenery and art to boot.

Watching Homeland right now.  It's pretty good.  More Damian Lewis.

The dirty cop ... who's the parking lot warden noe

[mishca09]

Billions is goid. I've only watched one eps of it.

Hap & Leonard was pretty good.

[smokester]

I'm loving the final 1/2 season of Grimm.

[mishca09]

I enjoyed it too.

Julie chaneged her name because she became vesen ... a hexibeast sp? She lost her old self and became a unfeeling kick ass... called eve. And trubel was a burnette.

[smokester]

I watched Seasons 1 & 2 then the final episode. Worked for me, as I didn't have to put up with several years of Trubel, the whiny blonde or the irritating girl (retro-guessing based on the last episode). And Juliette, who for some reason had changed her name.

Preferred Buffy, to be honest.

I found it to be a lot of fun. Yes, it was unnecessarily drawn out in parts and the characters struggled to show any real personality, but that isn't so far off an average day for me.
