I really enjoyed Shogun, too. Very well done. It’s been so long since I’ve read the book, I can’t tell how well it hewed to the novel, but I don’t care so much about replicating every aspect of it…they got the basics right, for sure.

Bad monkey on Apple TV is worth a spin. I'm watching it while I'm at the gym.

Slow Horses season 4 is set to start Sep. 4 on Apple TV. Gary Oldman stars and runs a contingent of demoted British spies. Very clever show.

We may not see season 2 of The Gentlemen until 2026.

My favorite limited series is Chernobyl, a 2019 drama about the nuclear meltdown in the USSR in the late 1980’s on MAX. It won several Emmys. I watched the first episode on a Sunday afternoon 3 years ago…and binge watched all 5 episodes that day. You’ll actually come away with a basic understanding of how nuclear reactors work. During the credits of the last episode, they show some of the real people involved. Russia was so pissed about it (the USSR doesn’t look good in it) they said they would put out their own version of what really happened. Dont know if they did.

It’s the best series, show I’ve seen on TV.
I don’t think MAX will ever take it down.

I remember the Chernobyl series. Fantastic drama. We found out so little about the disaster at the time it occurred, thanks to the Soviets keeping most of the details under wraps. I was fascinated to finally learn the facts.

I’m halfway through Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy Wars on Netflix, and it’s really good. For those that don’t know, it’s technically a documentary, but done entirely with re-enactments. Well-written and acted, and Ed Harris narrates. I think they overstate the importance of the Gunfight at the OK Corral and its aftermath on world events, but the story in and of itself is worth learning about. I’ve read several accounts of the fight, but never understood the whole story as well as I’m understanding it now.

I also just finished Daisy Jones and the Six on Amazon. It took me six months to get through all ten episodes, so I can’t say I was so enthralled with it that I could take more than a few episodes at a time, but it’s a good story if you loved bands like Fleetwood Mac (who inspired the show) and seventies rock in general.
