Rewatching Fargo series on Hulu. Never made it into S4 which is getting a little strange, but looking forward to S5.

Every season has it's quirky sci/fi fantasy-ish type scenes, but great winding storylines none the less.

4/5 Bald Eagles

Season 4 is by far the worst season of Fargo, but compared to other shows out there, it's still pretty good.

I've been watching this British show The Jackal. It's entertaining.

Finished this over the weekend. VERY solid!

I saw this side by side between a scene from the 1973 film and the current series -- a nice tip of the hat:

They remade it because Edward Fox had a cigarette in his mouth and cigarette smoking is not only bad for you but showing it in a movie could trigger uncomfortable feelings about smokers and make you seek a safe space.

Day of the Jackal is free on Peacock for anybody who hasn't checked it out yet.

I screwed up. The 1st episode was free...

Damn Peacock pulling a bait and switch...

Hmmm....all episodes are free to me on Peacock.

I no longer have a paid account. The first episode was free, the rest were locked.

Out of sheer boredom - I went back and started rewatching "My Name is Earl"

Halfway through Fargo S5. Pretty bad ass, I'd say as good as S1 or S2.

My son told me he started watching the Sopranos last week, he knows nothing about the ending other than there's a controversial scene where the screen goes black.

I'm a little jealous that he gets to experience that series for the first time; I made him promise to call me whenever something monumental happens so we could talk about it.

He asked me how will I know what's monumental? I said "trust me, you'll know".

After this series, he plans to do The Wire. #ProudDad
