Dad & I watched all the Rumpole of the Bailey episodes on Britbox. Great binge. They are mysteries as well as charming, witty court dramas. Very old-school BBC. Recommended,

'In The Line of Duty: The FBI Murders'

This movie, based on actual events, was released in 1986, IMO the movie includes some of the most realistic gunfights on film. Unlike current movies where gun fights only seem to occur at night these were in the hard light of day, somehow giving them a sureleastic feeling.

A very well done film. Believe it was/is used as a training aid by FBI and other Law Enforcement branches. -- Al

Possibly still used in training, and one of the reasons the FBI adopted larger calibre handgun.

"Parks and Recreation".
I have the DVD set, I don't stream.
It was a cute little series. I think I enjoy some of the characters and the actors who portray them more than the individual plots and story arcs. But every so often, I break it out and watch it straight through.

It's about time to watch "Firefly" again, though I've worn out one of the discs in the set I have.

Prost!

Anyone watched this 'John Wick' prequel on Amazon/Prime, 1st episode is terrific, looking forward to the next episodes.

Sometimes you have to return to earlier shows to view decent entertainment. I recently rewatched the 'Grimm' episode 'Three Coins in a Fuchsbau', one of the best 'Grimm' episodes imo. The guest star, Titus Welliver basically stole the scenes he was in and it wasn't long before he became the titular character on the popular TV series 'Bosch', 'Bosch Legacy' and more recently the spinoff 'Ballard'. Personally I'm not a fan of 'Ballard', to much emphasis on 'Female V The Patriarchy' than actual crime fighting, but that's the way things are these days

I hear they are doing a Grimm reboot, also a Buffy the Vampire Slayer and X-Files. Can't they do anything original anymore. Thankfully the streaming services putting out some pretty good shows.

Reboots are certainly a trend now, usually they just recycle the title and change the show so much it has little in common with the original release, and they're often not nearly as good. I haven't seen what the Grimm reboot is like but at least it was hinted at in the final episode where the kids took over the grimm activities. Would be fun to see the tripletts of Munroe and Rosalee in action

Did you see the 2005 reboot of Kolchak/Night Stalker, it was a lot darker with less humour than the original series, and was soon cancelled, I liked it but they did change a lot.
