Yes!
i'm thinking of trying it tonight. Also Rutherford Falls.
It balances a nice mixture of 30 Rock, 90s nostalgia, music industry sexism, and good performances.

I've had Amazon Prime for years and never really used the streaming portion. My wife and I watched Fleabag and now we are working through Catastrophe. Great shows.

You should try Catastrophe. We only just finished the first season but it was really funny.

I keep forgetting about this show. But I've heard nothing but great things. Glad you're digging it.

This was very good. It follows a lot of beats that you see in murder investigation shows, but the acting was great, it was the sort of heady nuts-and-bolts investigation stuff that I find fascinating, and the actor who played Anikan Skywalker's mother in the prequels was in it.

One of the main characters wears glasses that magnifies his eyes so they look like they're *slightly* too big for his face, which I found to be off-putting in a very cool way, because there are a lot of shots of this guy head-on.

It did leave out a good amount of stuff you see in police procedurals, which was a unique approach, too.

Anybody else watching Big Sky? It features a pretty good cast and I'm glad I still get to see Lagertha on tv (Katheryn Winnick from Vikings). :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat:

Steven King recommended it so I gave it a shot and am digging it. It's set in Montana.

Oh - this was based on a true story? I had no clue - I must google that now. Thanks!
Spoiler: show
the story's changed focus to a corrupt ranch family, but still has a truck driver that was involved in the sex trafficking. They're closing in on him - for now.
