Netflix "Watch Instantly"

The Agency sounds great. Hopefully not just a remake of The Bureau, as that's a GOAT status series.

Disappointed Carry On isn't a continuation of the Carry On movies' raunchy comedy franchise.

My wife and I really like it. It's one of our favorites of the newer network shows. It's different than all the cop shows out there.

I think it's worth 3 episodes. If I don't want to watch the 4th then I'm done.

Prolly late to the party, but The Diplomat and Dark Winds are my latest binges*, and both are great. Well worth the time investment.

For network programming, I also like Tracker, but I also consume police procedurals, FBIs, Forensic Files/New Detectives, true crime ****, etc like water, so take it with a grain of salt. It is something a little different, at least.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate the Paramount+ GUI? Can't get NCIS:Origins to work (two years ago, it was FBI)

[* - one episode/night]

I just think Justin Hartley is the ultimate d-bag, at least the characters he plays. I watch a lot of police procedurals also, and like I said before have watched most of Tracker, but it's very cringe to me.

I just looked up Justin Hartley's CV and I don't see anything I've watched to have a previous opinion on the man.

I never watched Smallville but a lot of This is Us.

I haven't tried to watch Origins on P+ on my TV as I watch it with my YT TV subscription, but I was able to pull it on on my computer with P+.

In the past I have had issues with the P+ app on TV with some shows. The main thing that helped is when that happens is when it gives you trouble, pull up the app on the tv and clear the cache and then force stop and then start the app fresh. Then it works every time.

this looks like it has the perfect cast, looking forward to it

Wikipedia says "based on The Bureau", so despite the solid cast, I am not optimistic. Hard to imagine that it can be as good as the GOAT spy series.

The movie "My Old Ass" on prime, with Aubrey Plaza is surprisingly good and deep for a 1 hour 28-minute movie.

i really liked Plaza in "Emily the Criminal"

Also, was a good episode of Landman, Billy Bob had a long rant on wind turbines and fossil fuels that got everyone on twitter in a twist. lol

I don't know much about that stuff, so don't know how true any of it was, but it's always fun hearing him rant.

The standalone MAX App (not thru Prime) also has a deal on their Ads plan for $3/mo x 6 months.

Based On A True Story is quite a fun watch. It's not nearly as funny as it should be but the two leads are great together.

And Cross was kind of awful. It got really wild in the back half, then weird, then really freaking stupid.

I found it to be somewhere between Meh and sucks. I do hate Aubrey Plaza though although she wasn't even it it that much. It woulda sucked with a different actress too.

lol why are you watching this if you don't like Aubrey Plaza??

I stopped Cross halfway through the first episode when

WTF, spoilers. I haven't got around to watching this yet.

lol I've only watched half an episode! And I'm guessing, but it's so obvious.

They make it clearly known by Ep 2 or early Ep3. I stopped watching early into Ep 3 for similar + other reasons.

The serial killer case was weird but… fine… I guess lol It was the other case that went off the rails. Both were stupid though.

I stopped watching Cross after 10 seconds into first episode.

It is the 21st century and they are still making shows that if the main character is black have to revolve around blacks speaking broken English and racial epitaphs. I'll stick to something like the movie Tenet.
