What you watching? - Quarantine Edition (6 Viewers)

I watched the 4-part docuseries, “Hostages” on HBO. Its about the hostage crisis in Iran and goes from when the Shah was in power, to his death and release of the hostages. I was young when that happened and this was educational. It’s a 4 hour investment if interested.

The (freed) hostages were featured in one of the parades (memory is fuzzy, I won’t hazard a guess about which one)

No need to be fuzzy with the Intertubz.

It was Bacchus, which was my guess, too.

THE ENGLISH!!! (Amazon)

OMG stop what you’re watching and put this on right now (I’m 2 episodes in)

A Pawnee who in the US Army (actually retiring) happens upon an English “Lady” who is on some unexplained (ish) vengeance quest
Beautifully shot classic western, but with an unexpected focus
Incredible so far

Also Wednesday was surprisingly good

Halfway into the first season of Succession on HBO based on favorable reviews from another website. It's ok, but its not hitting that sweet spot to keep me interested. Does it get better? Any opinions from the EE?

I think so, but if you're 4 or 5 episodes in, it might not be for you. I liked it.

If you’re one of those ‘I need someone to root for’ types, then this show is probably not for you
If that’s not you, I’d encourage you to tough out a few more episodes…

After you caught up on The English that is

Started The Peripheral last night - great first episode (I’m generally a fan of William Gibson’s books)

I just finished up the second season of Warrior Nun.

I had no clue that the second season was released. I'm half way through it now.

Ok @bonnjer, remind me. Was Vincent this bad arse in the first season?
