Eurocrash was hilarious. I found this to be entertaining, and well worth the watch. I shouldn't be but always find is a bit of a surprise how much litter there is in the third world.

Yeah that moment where James pulls up as the "ambulance" had me on the floor. Their funniest in the Grand Tour era for me will always be International Buffoons' Vacation. It's non stop funny.

Yeah it is crazy for sure. Makes you really grateful. I truly can't imagine living in some of those cities they passed through in the Chad desert.

Has anyone seen something The X-Files? TBH I think that's part of why I watch Ancient Aliens and the like. I grew up on spooky borderline might be real paranormal shows. That is the genre I really like and I just haven't found anything to fill that void. And surely not in the season count capacity.

Fringe, Warehouse 13, Wayward Pines come to mind as X-Files like shows.

I also enjoyed Reacher, season 1 more than season 2. Really like the character from the books.
My gf made me finish season 3 of True Detective... almost killed myself. Definitely the worst season. Started the new season and right off the bat waaaaaaay better IMO than the others. Totally different vibes, but I feel like the pacing is a lot faster or something and stuff keeps happening to keep me interested in seeing the next episode.

I'm trying to watch Alexander. I haven't made it thru a full episode yet without watching something else on my phone, I've played 4 episodes so far. It SHOULD grab my attention, but it just doesn't keep me.

Glad you like it so far. Honestly it's been so long since I saw it I barely remember much, I just remembered it has X-File vibes and was good.

Not so much X-Files but one of my favorite scifi series Falling Skies is worth checking out if you have not seen it and are into that kind of show.

NASCAR Full Speed, kind of Drive to Survive with only left turns. Not too bad.

We finally finished season 4. The left turn wasn’t what I thought it would be but I still found the season overall disappointing. I think this series has run its course, at least for me.

On a separate note, we started watching Harrow, which is an Australian series from a few years back. Thought the first season was excellent and I normally am not one who likes international series. Hopefully seasons 2 and 3 are equally as good (although I suspect they are not since it only lasted 3 years).

Watched the first 2 back to back. I can see why Critics are in awe! It is amazingly crafted and cast. Anna Sawai is very talented and beautiful.

I've done a few episodes of season 1 of Warrior. I think I will be watching the rest.

Want to wait a bit before I dive into Shogun.

Warrior is a winner. Glad they brought it back for a third season. Same creator as Banshee which was also an underrated series I thought was quite good.

There was a lot of screwing going on in San Fran back in the day! Or so Warrior would have me believe.

I always was a big fan of Kung Fu/David Carridine, so this is right in my wheelhouse. I just can't figure out sometimes: Young Jun doesn't know English at all, or just barely?
