And 35 years of Seinfeld ended yesterday when the final episode of Curb your Enthusiasm dropped.

Leon finally watched a Seinfeld episode and said to Larry "that mother****** Kramer is a bit over the top".

And Jerry came back to finally and hilariously fix the Seinfeld finale.

Yes my fellow Pies fans, there are 2 shows I highly recommend and are a must watch.

Shogun - just brilliant

Fallout - fantastic show that’s lots of fun.

[The Royal Sampler]

I’ve started Shōgun, and I’m enjoying it but the wife keeps falling asleep. It’s like life imitating art imitating life.

Anybody watched Shrinking? Only 1 season so far. Harrison Ford & Jason Segal.
Got a bit of everything. Wife & I loved it & hope a second season is coming.
Lots of Laughs & tears etc. But very entertaining.

The Sympathiser.
A spy story about a south Vietnamese soldier who is actually spying for the North Vietnamese.
Escapes to the US with the Americans and continues to spy for the new Vietnamese government.
Stars Robert Downey Jr in four completely different roles.
Very interesting perspective on the war, and the integration of the Vietnamese into US society.. And of course, has been banned in Vietnam.

Is it anything like Shintaro the Samurai? Do his crew mates all get boiled and cooled and boiled and cooled in the big pot as in the book's first chapter or so? Does it seem authentic or been turned into fantasy as occurred to 'Marco Polo'?

If afraid I haven’t seen Shintaro but there are definitely some nautical hot dogs boiling away in the second (?) episode.

I started watching Bodkin on Netflix last night. 3 Episodes in and I am really liking it.

Has some amusing lines and a bit of a laugh.

Without putting out spoiler alert there is this funny exchange... .

A farmer is sitting on a stool watching his cow? One of the shows main character asks what is wrong with her.
He replies that she is sad and missing her friend. He was then asked what happened to her friend, his reply?
I ate her.

The series is produced by Mr and Mrs Obama.

The Test - Prime TV.
Fascinating behind the scenes footage of the rebuilding of the Australian Cricket team after sandpaper gate in Sth Africa.

Back in the day we watched a series called “Quantum Leap”.
Really enjoyed it and I think it was the first series I ever downloaded, then burned to DVD to watch. (Napster, Dial Up!)
So fast forward to 2023 and there has been a remake of the show. I really thought that I would hate it, being such a fan of the original. But it’s actually good.
Like Star Trek, it’s not all about the sc-fi and fancy graphics, but just good storylines.
I’m sure this one’s not for everyone, and it helps to have history with the show, but I recommend it.
Ch7.

Ripley - 8 episodes (Netflix) - the Ripley story as in the Talented Mr Ripley, but shot in black and white believe it or not. It's broody, sly and really compelling. There's so much going on that I watched it twice; the second time around just to pick up all of the Caravaggio references and to savour the photography. Brilliant TV.
