Watching "The Mosquito Coast"

Pretty good and enjoying it quite a bit. I see that it was a movie in the 80's that starred Harrison Ford too!

Use Apple TV almost exclusively for watching tv and movies via various apps, yet have spent limited time on Apple TV+.

Just seen the first season of Ted Lasso though. Enjoyed Long Way Up with Ewan McGregor.

Yeah I remember my step dad fucking hated that movie. I liked it but I was at the height of my Ford love.

The movie is excellent. It’s Peter Weir, so…

I’m excited for the show.

We previewed the first episodes of The Morning Show and Ted Lasso last night. The former was fine, just good enough for both of us to watch together. The latter was great.

Apple TV subscription is imminent.
:hooray:

The Morning Show picks up. Ted Lasso gets better with each episode. As crazy as that sounds.

Ted Lasso is a must watch. And yes it just gets better. My wife & I really liked Morning Show season 1, but after 2 eps of season two… we just aren’t feeling it yet. We’ll still watch tho.

He's the best part. Of S1. Unfortunately...

Maybe he'll get better in S2. But so far they've really missed with his character.
