I know it's from late 2022, but I just watched the ESPN 30/30 episode on Rick Flair.
Man, was it good. Though I wasn't a fan of 80s, 90s or 2000s wrestling, the 70's footage brought back memories.
Outside the ring, he was wild too.
He didn't catch Sinatra, Gene Simmons or Wilt Chamberlain, but Rick put up impressive career totals.
I’ve never watched a full episode of the American version of The Office. Thinking about starting to binge the series.
Ozark has been finished for a while now.
This Is Us was great show. We don't watch many network shows since streaming has been around, but this was one of the few we did watch weekly.
I know we are late to the party on this but we are really enjoying This is Us on Netflix
"It was the decision of Ozark's creators to end the show after its fourth season. Speaking with THR, the crew revealed that Ozark was initially intended to be five seasons long, but when writing the fourth season, it was decided that a supersized final season was better than splitting the story into two"
Found this on the web. It's not looking very good....
The guy in the video below does a decent summary of this Twins Study for the most part. I happened to catch this before I watched the Netflix series. This video is < 15 mins and I recommend watching it first. He did get one thing wrong saying they didn't cover something in the series that they did speak to, but this is otherwise a great brief video on why just about all of the bloodwork comparison graph can't be taken too seriously.

"All in all it was entertaining if you like the subject matter but just be aware that there wasn't as much difference in the results as it might seem."
I'd go farther and say they intentionally fudged, if not the results themselves (which I think actually happened with one pair), then the significance. If it was a book, I'd have thrown it against the wall.
It was fairly lousy science generally, but pretty deft propaganda.
We watched the Netflix series called, "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment". It was interesting and they did a decent job in showing how the industrial food supply is causing health issues for everyone (i.e. food getting less healthy in general) but where they did a less than stellar job is in showing/interpreting the graph with the blood testing results at the end.
The graph had a green dot for the median value for people on the omnivore diet and a yellow one for those on the vegan diet for different columns like LDL, HDL, Glucose, etc. The problem is that they never explained the margin-of-error bar that these dots where on and seemed to gloss over the "Statistical significance" for each of the columns.
They were pointing out what appeared to be dramatic results where some of them had a statitistical significance value as high as .98. To say that there was statitistical significance that number needed to be 0.05 or less. It's like they kind of left it up to the viewer to interpret results without understanding what they were looking at.
It was an interesting randomized study with the "identical twins" component, but it only lasted 8 weeks and an ever better study would likely have been a randomized cross over study. This is one where they start with an A and B group, do the intervention on one and the placebo on the other, then switch so that BOTH groups get to do and be evaluated for the intervention/placebo.
All in all it was entertaining if you like the subject matter but just be aware that there wasn't as much difference in the results as it might seem.
This probably could have gone under Fitness, but I watched and enjoyed the Netflix series Live To 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones.
Pretty much everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, and this is a look at those that do where they have the highest longevity and least medical issues. Diet is of course a large part of it, but there is more to it than that.
Just finished watching 5 seasons of You Me Her on Amazon Prime. Finally a show about Polyamory that doesn't end in bloodshed, or one of the characters being a serial killer.
Tulsa King is great also
I haven't seen any of those. I can sit still for reading, not so much for viewing, plus what I like enough to persist over countless hours is pretty narrow.
I'll have to watch the Wire.
I would add Better Call Saul and Boardwalk Empire to your list.
Very few shows that I have ever re-watched.
The Wire, Sopranos and Breaking Bad are the ones that best come to memory. Might have been others, but not as good as these....
If someone has never seen those shows, their TV diet is lacking and slacking.
We are rewatching Justified. I have seen the series before but my wife hasn't. She is hooked.
Cant wait for the new. Justified mini series to come out in summer
I think it's a hoax. They killed off all the best characters in Season 4.
Anyone know the real deal about Ozark, season 5?
I read so many articles, but no credible answers.... one had a Jan 12, 2023 release date.
New season of Alice in Borderland is out. We are going back and watching season 1 again first.
Chef's Table. It's not, as I thought, a cooking show or even really focused on food. Instead, it's a series of beautifully filmed one hour documentaries about interesting, quirky people who are passionate about food. I've watched the pizza and bbq ones and really loved them.
I got 3 in and gave up. I get the idea, I just didn’t get the execution.
Started watching Kaleidoscope, but the first episode didn't really peak our interest, so that was a 1 and done.
I enjoyed "High Water" a Polish limited docudrama series about the 1997 flood in Warsaw. In particular I found some of the details about "flood fighting" contained in the first few episodes to be dead on in terms of accuracy and not by any means mainstream or common sense knowledge. Pretty good acting too I thought.
I also enjoyed the first few installments of "The Extraordinary Attorney Woo". Got a bit stale for me by episode six though.
Watched The Witcher - Blood Origin mini-series on Netflix. Was 4 episodes. I enjoyed it, but I do tend to like the fantasy genre with elves, dwarves, magic, etc kind of stuff.
Going to check out Kaleidoscope next, which is a 9 part mini-series as I recall.
Started watching The Order. It was interesting and moved fast enough on the first episode to hold our interest. It has 2 seasons on Netflix.
we both enjoyed Wednesday too
