I gave Bodkin a try. A podcaster, his assistant, and a reporter are trying to solve a 25-year-old mystery in a small Irish town. The podcaster and reporter don't like each other and the people in the town don't want the past brought up. Yawn. I've seen stuff like this a thousand times. Nothing special here.

Was Bodkin the one where they were calling everybody cu**s in Irish accents? I can't remember if I liked it or not, just that. And then I kept calling my husband a cu**.

Sirens was weird. I watched it a while ago. Liked the outfits and the vibe, and a lot of things about it. BUT, I thought it should have been a lot longer and more involved. Like, they texted something about sirens and that was their SOS call, right? Like because there had been sirens in their youth? That should have been elaborated on. Plus, they were sirens, men couldn't stay away from them. That should have been elaborated on too. I wanted more.

I thought the World Series had ended a day before it did, sorry. I wasn't really paying attention since no New York or Philadelphia teams were involved. And it went on forever. I lost track.

Inception was not for me, but my son liked it. I don't tend to like things that play with reality and question reality. I am way too anxious for that. And a lot of it didn't make sense.

It was about some people who were able to extract information from people through their dreams, and then one guy wanted them to implant an idea into someone through his dreams.

Another problem with it was that all of the dreams seemed horrible and bleak. If you can design dreams, why not make them awesome?

Did you watch Mobland? I know they did the same in that show. Very weird hearing Helen Mirren say it. EEK!

No, didn't watch that.
My mom used to say she didn't like us hanging out with this other family, because the kids cursed a lot and we would have foul mouths after being exposed to it. I guess it is true. When you hear profanity a lot it becomes a more natural part of your speech. At least for me and the C word. (Interestingly, they were rich. The father was an anesthesiologist. We were a lot more middle class.)

It definitely wasn't Bodkin. The Obamas produced it. Deadwood had a lot of obscenities but it was a different c word.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW

On Sirens, I think you're talking about a different show. Julianne Moore gets dumped and Milly Alcock and Kevin Bacon end up together.

END SPOILER

It was a great game and showed why you never give up.

I screwed up on Inception. I started watching Interceptor and it was really bad. I got 30 minutes in and went wait, this can't possibly be the movie that Kiki was talking about lmao.

Speaking of awesome dreams, I saw The Billion Dollar Code which was about how Google Earth came to be. The early programmers had such awesome dreams about what a force for good the internet could be but then the rich people took over and turned the internet into what it is now.

I couldn't get into Mobland but I didn't hang around for very long. I can't stand Helen Mirren. She's such a bland actress. She ruins every role that she's in. Two recent examples are 1923 and Sinners.

I watched You Don't Know Me tonight. It was an exercise in how to turn a pretty good show into a disaster by having too many twists and turns and one of the worst endings of all time. It's too bad because the actors were really good and it was an interesting story. One of the actors looked just like Tupac.

If I have an opinion that you disagree with, please feel free to let me have it. I'm very outspoken and wrong more than I'm right.

You are right about the World Series FabPickle...NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP. I was so stressed out tonight that I couldn't be in the same room where my husband was watching the election results. And then OMG I heard him on the phone telling my son that NBC had just announced that Sherrill won. It was a VERY good election night. Not a big deal in a lot of parts of the country, but a very big deal in New Jersey.

And for those that don't care for my politics, back to to television.

I may be misremembering Sirens because I watched it in the middle of the night, but I think there was a reference to one of the sisters texting the other "sirens." I felt like I wanted to know more than they showed.

I'm actually not a huge Helen Miran fan either. I really want to be, because she seems like an elegant feminist, but she's kind of boring. I guess I'm neutral on her.

When you were describing You Don't Know Me I was thinking that you were saying that the show was mocking shows with too many twists and turns, but then I re-read it. Kind of funny the guy looks like Tupac.

What they did with the Tupac character was in very bad taste. They could've picked a different actor. The more I think about the show, the more it pisses me off. The guy switched around his story so many times that I have no idea what really happened. I would've voted guilty and thrown the book(s) at him.

I looked online and the show that used the c-word a lot is Mobland. Maybe you're thinking of The Hunting Wives instead of Sirens.

I'm not political at all but I'm strongly anti-Trump because of the ICE raids and government shutdown. The people who have EBT don't get their benefits this month. What are they supposed to do? I'm glad that the Dems had a good showing last night and that your candidate won. We need to send a message to Trump that what he's doing is not what the American people want.

I'm onto the first season of Delhi Crime now. It took me a little while to get used to the dubbing but after that it's been pretty good. It's very different from the other programs that I've been watching.

I finished the first season of Delhi Crime. The police have been ordered to quickly solve a rape case but they have no money or resources. The people of Delhi are living in extreme poverty and are furious with the police dept for not protecting them against violent crime. Meanwhile, the police are working around the clock to find the 6 men on the bus who raped the woman. There are riots in the streets. Delhi is a powder keg waiting to explode.

I'm thinking that Delhi Crime is the opposite of Law and Order SVU. SVU has all of the resources in the world behind them but the Delhi police officers have nothing. The have to pay for the gas they use at work. If they work overtime, they don't get paid for it. They sleep on the floor and live in little shacks. It's definitely a reality check.

I finished Season 2 of Delhi Crime. It was even better than Season 1. Season 3 is on the way and I'll definitely be watching. I guess I'll give Kleo a try next. It's supposed to be an 80's Killing Eve.
