I am so glad to see you post this!

It was absolutely fantastic!

I just loved it.

For the entire series, I would sit and say to myself, "This is so good, there is nothing like this on TV"!

One of the biggest things that I loved about it was that the women actors were front and center. The males, though they had an important role in the series, really were secondary to the women.

That, in itself, is so very rare in any TV show or series. The women are usually in periphery to the males. An exception, of course: Law and Order, SVU or Supergirl but you get my point.

The stars, to name a couple of the big ones: Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman. They were phenomenal.

I hope that there is a second season but can't figure out what they would do since the major thrust of the story was completed.

I actually bought the soundtrack because the music was also terrific.

I think I will post the opening credit song on the listening thread. I probably played it 10 times yesterday.

Gee, can you tell that I loved the series?!

That's what my close friend said, too! She's addicted to this show and she said I'd absolutely love it. I want the sound track too! :) :cheer::cheerleader:

LOVED LOVED LOVED Big Little Lies as well but the ending, unless you read the book, may of left some scratching their heads and with some unanswered questions IMHO!

Has anyone else been watching First Dates? It airs on Friday nights on NBC and is produced by Ellen.

I've caught the first couple episodes and rather enjoy it:hangloose:

No, but I will add this to my list of TV shows to watch.
Thanks for your post about Ellen's dating show.

Someone posted in a thread they were avid Bee Gee fans! Tonight there is a Grammy Salute to the music of the Bee Gees. It airs on CBS at 8'oclock.

I will be watching and most likely dancing!

:dance1:

Thanks to all who post what they watch, soon. I recently got to watch every episode of Big Little Lies, and I'm on the list to check it out at the library, when it becomes available. Looking forward to reading the book. : )

Am watching _12 Years a Slave_ which is very well acted.

Last week we watched _Hidden Figures_. Well acted and well worth watching.

America's War On Drugs - Trailer
 

HISTORY will investigate 5 decades of "America's War On Drugs" in epic 8-hour documentary starting June 18 ...

Called “the new Jim Crow,”the war on drugs has cost America $1 trillion in a bizarre history that spans five decades. It has also had a most devastating impact on the Black community from decades of biased law enforcement, from President Nixon to the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws, to the emerging above-ground marijuana market that is poised to make legal millions for wealthy investors doing the same thing that generations of people of color have been arrested and locked up for.

Burn Motherfucker Burn
 

On Showtime: Outstanding documentary about the history of the LAPD and the African-American community in south LA.

It chronicles the move by blacks from the south in the 40's and the rise of racist police chief William Parker (the police central headquarters is the still-named Parker Center in LA) from approx. 1950 until he died of a heart attack a year after the Watts riots.

It does not flinch from the overt and brutal racism leading up to the Watts riots.

Who takes over after Parker dies?

The guy that used to be his driver; racist Darryl Gates.

Again, it does not flinch from the overt and brutal racism that never stops- Rodney King and the resultant riots.

It is soberingly and profoundly sad that not much has been learned.

Queen Sugar, Season 2 Trailer
 

Back on June 20.

I can't stress enough how awesome Fargo is! It is smartly funny, well-written, and all-around excellent television.

There is just one episode left in this season. If you like smart and funny TV, you can't go wrong with any of the 3 seasons and they are all different.

One of my most favorite shows of all-time is ER.

This weekend, I found that a cable station named POP is running the series.

It is just as good as I remembered.

Some older shows just don't hold up but this one does.

:scarytv:

I am so enjoying this 4 part documentary directed by Allen Hughes, called The Defiant Ones. It is really good. Part 1 was Sunday night, 2 on Monday, 3 Tuesday and 4 tonight. I am sure it will be repeated (as HBO always does).

It chronicles the early beginnings of Dr. Dre, his partnership with Jimmy Iovine, who started Interscope Records, the evolution of hip hop and how their partnership transformed contemporary culture.

Billboard says: "If you're a fan of hip-hop, it's the rap version of when Lennon met McCartney."

New season of Game of Thrones starts tonight!

:scarytv:

oh, sounds good, Anya, I'll see if I can find it, this week!

What happened...Ms. Sykes?
 

I just caught this on TV, somehow I had missed it.

I needed a laugh after the healthcare vote today.

I think she is really great and always enjoy her,
