About halfway through 3rd season of Superstore and it's starting to get a bit stale. First two seasons were hilarious, on par with Parks & Rec or the Office in terms of silliness and humor.
Currently binging S2 of marvelous mrs maisel, it's sooo good!
Also re-watching every Bond film on Prime. The older I get, the more I realize that really good bond films are few and far between. The great ones are pretty much:
- Casino Royale (2006 version)
- Goldfinger
- Golden Eye
- Skyfall
- From Russia with Love
That's it. There are some iconic films and ones that are good, but the great ones...just 5.

I rarely have much time to watch anything new these days, but I did have a chance to catch the first couple episodes of Ray Donovan the other day. Had no idea this show existed until maybe a couple weeks ago.
Good show, though. Voigt is his usual creepy self, which works in his role. Schrieber is excellent, as well.

This website is all jacked. I posted a review of Narcos Mexico S1, but it never showed up.
In short: it was really good. Not as good as Narcos Columbia because Pablo Escobar was so good. But still very very good. And the one scene with Pablo in Narcos Mexico was so good.

Just finished Making a Murderer Part 2. Not sure what to think, but I truly think Avery is innocent. I think the evidence is there. I'm not sold on Dassey being innocent.

The Escobar seasons were so good. I’m halfway through Mexico and it’s deifinitely not on their level, but it’s really good.

I would definitely throw Dr. No in there, too. Maybe Thunderball as well. Good list, though.

Dr. No was right at 6 for me.

For Your Eyes Only is one of my personal favorites. A couple really fun chase scenes and that mountain climbing bit near the end was insane (probably in part because I don't like heights, but still...).
Watched them all over the summer. While I generally agree with the top ones CoA listed, I put that one up with them. Maybe Live and Let Die, although that might have to do more with how I loved the campy-as-hell blaxploitation aspects. An island diplomat who moonlights as an inner city drug lord with a voodoo priest on staff? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP NOW!!!!
Well, A View to a Kill is my favorite, but I can admit that it's campy as hell and not that great a movie.
For Your Eyes Only is good, though. And LALD is hilarious.

I just saw this. I’m intrigued. Apparently it can go as long as 5.5 hours.

I watched/ tried it yesterday.
My version/s was 2 hours. I liked it actually. The story was interesting enough and I did like how once you finished one ending, it allows you to go back and view some other options.

Anyone (online) put together any stats on number of different storylines that you can create, max/min time, etc?

I finished Maisel a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it. It is not as good as the 1st season, but I enjoyed the middle set of episodes a lot.

I've watched 4 of the 6 episodes of Surviving R Kelly. Fuck that dude.
I watched all 6, and yes, the guy's a fricking nightmare...and he still thinks he's done nothing wrong!!!
