I find it hard to watch shows or movies where I can't root for at least one character. If everyone is bad, I don't want to continue. 

Don't watch Succession, lol.

Thanks for the warning. I tried to watch Ozark and found a similar theme.

  I just finished watching the pilot for Manifest.  I told my wife I hope they end up on an island with a smoke monster.

   The premise was interesting, but the whole episode seemed like something I’ve seen already before, and done better. 

 

  Not that I’ve seen all of these shows, but it looks like the writers pinched a little of Sense8, added a touch of LOST, sweetened it with a sprig of This Is Us and simmered it in a cop drama.  

   I agree with you, @iacas, three episodes may be the limit.  

    I’m just about through a rewatch of season two of Man In The High Castle.  Although not as stellar as the first, I’m finding it better the second time around.

Right. A plane that goes missing for five years? Interesting.

People hearing voices and solving crimes? C'mon… That was a completely stupid direction to go, IMO.

OK, we watched Magnum PI. As fans of the original, we weren't expecting much. But it was actually good. The casting was good including the lead. They updated the story to today, but the premise and relationships are the same. We'll give it a few more weeks, but so far so good.

Yeah, disappointed. 

BBC's Bodyguard was very good. Not in US yet, will be on US Netflix soon.

So how was Manifest?  I saw the preview but didnt get to watch.  Looked to be a rip off of Lost.  Tough to beat that show.  One of the best for the first 3 seasons.... downhill after that.

I saw the preview of Magnum PI and wanted to check it out but missed it too. 

Did watch the Good Place last night.  Odd start to this season but Kristen Bell is so HOT who cares right???  LOL.  It was a good show in S1 & 2 so I will continue to watch.

Any other good shows you guys recommend?

Better?  Worse?  Anytime something starts with a plane one often will compare it to Lost.

I guess they were lost for 5 years and didn't age... that's about all I remember from the preview.

Manifest - it was interesting seeing all the new New York viewscapes as the show had a lot of locations in western Queens in newly built, gentrified areas. Pretty much new Hunter's Point.

Netflix dropped The Haunting Of Hill House this week.  I’m on the fourth episode, and am in love with it so far.  

Its creepy AF, but it’s setting up what’s hopefully a really great story.  I’ll save my score for the series when I’m done with the binge.

Watched some more Manifest. It sucks. It totally sucks. 

Like the new Doctor Who.

Oh Ya...One of my favorites and the new Doctor is very good.  

I also liked Magnum P.I.  The remake is pretty good.

I gave Manifest 3 episodes...nah...

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
