 I am still spending most of my free time watching 'The Wire'. I am almost finished with season 3 and it continues to keep me fascinated. Many storylines but one main theme. Should have watched this years ago, but this time is as good as any. Would definitely recommend it, but it is violent, with lots of cursing, sex, and everything else to keep more males glued to the TV.

"The Wire" is an all-time show for sure.

I also loved "Oz", but that is not for everyone.

I started the movie, "Black Sails" on Netflix...4 seasons/38 episodes. A series about pirates who hang out in Nassau when not battling at sea. Not for kids, tons of nudity (full-frontal)/sex/gore/violence, and a great plot. The only thing that bugs me, is that no matter how scroungy the guys dress, they have perfect, braces-straightened, brilliant white teeth. Can't believe they didn't do a better job in make up for more realistic adventure. Regardless, incredibly done with great photography and great scenes. Very realistic

Still watching Black Sails, but I see a new series drops tomorrow (May 2) that looks very intriguing. Has a "Suits" vibe, but seemingly more violent, judging by the trailer

"A Man in Full" Netflix...limited series

I'm too lazy to type out the cast so a picture

Bill mentioned this yesterday on the main forum.  From what I understand, this is sort of TV piracy for dummies.  The Superbox is essentially an overpriced android device that comes preloaded with what they call an unverified streaming service (a nice name, for they don't know if the programs are properly licensed).

The only real risk would be if the company gets sued and goes out of business (plus the sellers of the product face some risk, so they tend to be on the sleazy side).

You can actually download similar software to your computer or, say, a firestick that would do the same thing.

You can find all you need to know about this here:

That website also discusses the Superbox, they are not fans

Thanks Rich. It seems like a lot of work to me. Perhaps I am too behind the times.

I started watching it while I worked out.  I considered it some raunchy fluff when I started.  However, over time I found the show was quite good (and irreverent, my favorite).  It really offers a chance to see life from a different perspective.

The show is called Shameless and it's on Netflix

Yesterday, on Disney, they released a film that hasn't been shown in over 50 years. 'Let It Be' is a movie that hasn't been shown anywhere for 50 years and now, restored is being shown on Disney starting yesterday.
Since we are true die-hard Beatles fans and will gobble up anything new about them, we grabbed our after-dinner snacks and sat down to watch and we weren't disappointed.

We had previously watched the 3-part (6 hour I believe) film by Peter Jackson, "Get Back" which we also loved but there were parts in Get Back that really could have been eliminated and probably 3 hours would have been sufficient, but now, with Let It Be, basically 90 minutes telling how and showing most of the Beatles last concert on the rooftop, was superb.

If you are a Beatles fan, this is Can't Miss TV.

I haven't seen this yet, (don't have Disney), but I'm sure I will someday. Not sure if this was pointed out in the film or not, but in the second picture above, "Get Back Take 1," the young man you see on the left with dark hair and wearing a tie, is a young Alan Parsons of The Alan Parsons Project. At the time he was a 20 year old kid employed at Abbey Road Studios. He set up the cabling for the rooftop concert. He's also listed as Assistant Engineer on the Beatles' albums Let it Be and Abbey Road. His duties included being the tape operator and "teaboy" (fetched tea for the fab four during recording sessions). Not a bad gig for an 18 year old, or at least he was when recording began for Let it Be in 1968.
