What TV Shows Are You Watching?

Finished Running Point Season 2.

I think Justin Theroux's character coming back from rehab created a story arc that drew time from some of the existing cast. For example Fabrizio Guido and Brenda Song get less screen time. Jay Ellis and Kate Hudson's relationship just turns into sex hook ups. Then they added Ray Romano and other than the dead wife thing isn't really getting a lot of development.

At one point Brenda Song goes to work for the Toronto Trappers. I assume this is a play on Raptors. Even though for most of the NBA season the weather in Toronto is miserable, you don't need to film all the indoor scenes with a blue filter to show how depressing it is. We get the sun too!

Watching Legends right now.

The Customs people have that much power? Good pacing. Good story so far. Maybe I am more partial to British shows but it's interesting.

Finished Legends. Maybe no genius plot twists like Line of Duty but thoroughly entertaining. I am still surprised they just let these undercover customs agents rejoin their normal lives without any identity change.

Friends and Neighbors is a little pointless but entertaining

Watching Man on Fire on Netflix. It's like a 24 type of show where you veer just enough to the dark side with torture all in the name of the greater good.

Finished Man on Fire. Yahya Abdul Mateen snaps into special forces mode when he speaks in that slow deliberate pace with a deep baritone voice. Reminds me of Jack Bauer and the gravel growl. Anyway it ends with the good guys winning. Not a single good guy dies. Every bad guy dies as Mateen goes on a rampage all the way up to the Brasilian president. Some painfully. Sometimes he exhibits a nice clemency streak. The part where he has a Russian friend who happens to have a helicopter in Rio to invade a prison was a stretch.

Looks like there is another series.
