Not suggesting cable, but streaming. Some shows are in 4K!
But not everyone is gung-ho on PQ as I am. (And ease of use.)

About 30 seconds of news, the weather is reported every 10 mins for about 1 1/2 mins (usually wrong), and about 1/2 hr of conservative talk radio until it gets repetitious (not the narcissistic idiot!) and mainly an oldies station that plays rock from my youth (with actual words that make sense not chanting jibberish!). I had an 85 Olds with an original Delco AM radio with about 3 lbs of copper that would get most stations in Canada, America and sports from Brazil and Argentina in South America (all english stations) ! It pulled in almost every station along the dial ! I miss that radio but I still have one I saved in Am/Fm (with cassette) I may install in my car if i can find someone to do it right! Digital doesn't fine tune sufficiently and doesn't have the same amount of copper. Again, I don't listen or watch that much on radio or TV ... This forum has all the humanity, comedy and tragedy,mystery, love and human interest I need !!!
Lincoln Lawyer, Netflix, good series, Michael Connelly book, good acting, might be a second season!
Better Call Saul: AMC. Still darned good, but I am ready for it to wrap up after six seasons. 4.5/5 Most eps are a 5/5.
Last night I watched 'Three Kings' on DVD. I saw it on TV about 15 years ago & enjoyed it then so thought it a good time to watch again.
An enjoyable desert war caper with some clever stunts and pretty good acting. The storyline wandered a little in places but overall a pretty good bit of escapism.
Well worthy of 4/5 from this non regular film watcher.
Regards,
Jay.
PS: Just arrived this morning was a 4 disc boxset of George Clooney's 'Ocean's' films....so watch this space

Just watched the first 2 episodes of the new Star Wars series "Obi Wan Kenobi" on Disney+
It was ok but i'm hoping when Vader turns up it'll get a lot better. I won't give a rating until I finish the series.

I recently saw Top Gun Maverick. Not always a big fan of sequels, but after a 36 yr hiatus, I think they did a great job. If you liked the first one, then you’ll surely like this edition. 5/5 ??
Just finished watching the first season of The Lincoln Lawyer. I thought it was professionally made, good, but not great. The cast is engaging, the writing a bit plodding, the characters a bit derivative, the cutaways to sun drenched slightly out of focus views of LA irritating and not really a depiction of any LA I recognize. Everyone seems to live in hilltop houses similar to the ones I’ve partnered in building, which is sad.
Except for a sequence set at Pink’s Hotdogs, which is an LA institution on par with Langer’s, the city’s character is missing.
3.5 out of 5

I see the difference between a critic and a viewer. I don't disagree with you but I found The Lincoln Lawyer very entertaining which is the primary reason I watch TV. With that said, watching two monkeys screw a football might be entertainment for some but would never achieve critical acclaim. Just proves again, perspective is everything.
The Train - this is a treasure of a WWII film. Been a favorite of mine for years. 5/5 * is no exaggeration!
The Train is one of the few DVDs that I kept when I unloaded about 100 DVDs on ebay a few years ago.
I also rate it 5/5.
