I recently discovered a tv series originally from 2007, called Burn Notice.

It's kind of like a mix of Bourne Report, Mememto, Miami Vice, McGyver.

It's good fun.

I think I've seen burn notice. If I reall, I enjoyed it. I'll have to look
it up. I'm still trying to get through Ozark season 3, but keep getting distracted with beautiful weather or BBS'ing at night .. and now the news.
So .. I'm looking forward to a rainy day to catch up on a few shows.

Hello "The"! LOL

It is a smart production. The lead char (the burned agent) although very intelligent, almost superhuman and can think wisely on the spot, is still depicted with vulnerabilities.

You've got green thumb written all over you. Like the lighted finger on the alien in E.T., you are driven to the gardens as your "home".

Me, I'm settled in a valley with farmland all around me. Would love to have some of the overgrown stuff taken care of (I spent $2500 to remove some dangerous trees a few years ago) ..but now there are no resources for any of that. So.. movies are my "forget life" option.

I think it's seven seasons total? Can't remember for sure - but it's VERY
good, IMO. My wife and I recently watched through it again...

We've started the latest season of Flash, now that's it is on Netflix...

I remember the show now ... I did enjoy it. I think there was a hot lady in every episode too? Every time I mean to re-check it out .. I get distracted with these riots all over the news ... so my TV has been off. My current favorite shows are:

1. Yellowstone
2. Ozark
3. Better call Sal (got the name right this time)
4. The Walking Dead
5. Can't remember the rest at the moment but those are the top 4 to come to mind.

Ha! It's art for me, and relaxing. I seldom put more then a simple sketch together prior to building something. I love making back yards a retreat and until mines there .... (meaning I can mow in my boxers without my neighbors seeing me,) I have work to do.

NOTHING wrong with that. If I owned more land then I do, at 48 (until the
12th of this month) I don't think I could manage more .. sure, mowing, but
not the type of work I enjoy doing. Growing up in Colorado probably had a
lot to do with it. Having the mountains as our view out a window, just like
an ocean for others, has a zen like feel to it. But when it comes to big trees, I don't like heights. But I have connections from having been in the business to keep the price way down. As for resources, I acquired a lot of free material over 7 years of owning a landscape company, so I do a lot of repurposing. Tools can create wonderful things with even what others
consider junk. However, I have also thrown away a lot of junk my team would drop off at my house, seemingly thinking I'd b able to use.

Jimmy,

Tomorrow I'll look it up again, as there are a few others similar that come
to mine I know you'd probably like or have seen. Honestly, I stayed up all night watching the riots .. not intentionally .. it was like when my wife
and I rented Hostile ... not having read the synopsis ... our jaw was on the floor the entire movie. That was me last night.

The character that plays the lead's ex-girlfriend is a good looker. She has no problem finding an excuse to use a gun to wipe somebody out. Very funny. Almost psychopathic. And yes, there are a lot of filler scenes of the bathing suit clad on the Miami beaches.

My current favorite shows
are:

1. Yellowstone 2. Ozark 3. Better call Sal (got the name
right this time) 4. The Walking Dead 5. Can't remember the

Yellowstone is in the queue, and so is Better..Sal. If the Walking Dead is the one about zombies.. I'll pass. BUT.. if you like that premise, check out the film "28 Days Later" from 2002. I didn't particularly care for a zombie-like film, but this one deals with the problem as an animal-human gene experiment that went wrong, escaped the lab, and started infecting humans. I thought it was interesting how they pulled off the deserted streets and bridges in London.

It ranks #2 on this list:

On that list, Cargo (2017) sounds interesting too.

The latter part is TMI! LOL

I can get away with optional clothing around my place too. But it is much easier at night when I could enjoy a dip in the lake or a rain shower.

Back to films.. I would recommend the series: The Americans. It's a spy thriller set in the Reagan era. There is nothing taken lightly in this series. Adult situations and killings are depicted quite graphically. It's long running with about 6 seasons. I learned about it last year. I have yet to watch season 3.

I don't like Zombie movies either, nor does my wife -- we both love The
Walking Dead. It's more about the people and how they survive while also trying to sustain some semblance of law and order; the zombies are just what cause the situation and constant stress they live within. More of a back
drop.

The latter part is TMI! LOL

Ha! My wife just rolls her eyes knowing I'd never do that. But it's fun to say .. having the feeling of not being surrounded, without the expense of a
lot of land, is what I like within a back yard. And, the trees help filter some of the road and siren noise that seems non-stop 2-3 blocks away.

I saw that show listed, haven't tried it yet. I'll have to do so. Have you seen Dexter? Thats another my wife and I really enjoyed.

Ah.. A kind of psychological approach then. But then it depends on the pace of the series. I don't like a series that drags out the mystery for too long. For example, I could not get into LOST despite all the hype built up around it. Later, I learned that the ending let the fans down anyway.

No street noise around here. Just birds, crickets, frogs.

I can relate to the char in Ozark who lives in the basement at his house and has the habit of going skinny dipping in the lake. It's at *his* property after all.

do so.

It's a very smart/intellectual series. The poker-faces of the actors as they deal with concealing their secrets are fun to watch. The scenes of unspoken communications are well played as well.

I just recently reviewed a couple of episodes where I left off. It is near the end of season 2 where they deal with the "secrets" of arpanet, stealth technology for the SR-xx bomber, and ECHO.

The ECHO scenes reminded me of echomail. I'd like to create a little mashup of those scenes and have a little spoof on how the "secret" of echomail was revealed to the world. LOL

Have you seen Dexter? Thats another my wife and I
really enjoyed.

I heard a lot about it when it first came out. The premise intrigued me. But I did not have access to DSL/internet as I do now. My movie + tv series backlist is getting longer than I have time to spare for!

wow - I didn't know what it was about either, when I took my teen-age sons
to see it... I thought it was "just another horror movie" - boy was I
wrong!

Nope, nothing like Lost. It's full of twists and turns. I always say ..
give it a few episodes and you'll know if ya like it or not. I thought I'd hate it as I'm not a zombie movie guy .. but this show hooked us in.

Dexter was one wild show. Probably on my top 10.

Right? I thought my wife had rented some border line porn movie at the beginning .. we were both a bit confused as to what she picked out .. then
... you know the rest. I'm not sure I could watch that again. Another, I'll likely spell wrong, was Requium For A Dream. That movie was just disturbing.
