I disagree with Rush, this is the
worst season of Bosch. It's boring
and has too many side stories. I've
seen 8 episodes and doubt I could
even say what the main story line is,
there are too many and they're all
boring. I could have written this
review:

What happened with this season?
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2020

What happened with this season? Something changed; there are so many side stories that are just downright distracting. I feel like there are so many meaningless filler scenes in this season. did writers or director change? Please bring back the original Bosch series back!!


I had to go back and watch recaps from prior seasons to remember what the background storylines were but, for a binge watch, it was enjoyable

I thought it was so boring that
for the first time I don't care if
they renew it or they don't.

The Michelle Obama Nflix thingie
is being panned by critics as boring,
bland and paper thin. I wonder if
they covered where she tried to play
pro football..

The Hollywood thing on Nflix is
a fantasy piece. It's showing
what the world would have
been like if Hwood had embraced
homosexuality and got rid of
racism in the late 40's. But
that's never explained, how many
watching think they're seeing
actual history. Of course that's
the intent of the producers,
rewriting history. They have just
enough real history mixed in
with total bull****. Like the
Black actors palling around with
the White actors, eating in the
same restaurants, going to the
same bars, mixed race couples,
Black screenwriters.

On Netflix
Monty Python: Almost the Truth - The Lawyer's Cut

Loved it. I was a huge Monty Python fan back in the day when I was able to get it on some weak UHF station

Nobody Speak-Trials of the Free Press
Documentary on Netflix
Really liked it a lot
Primarily about the Gawker Hulk Hogan sex tape trial
Also covers the Las Vegas Journal Review purchase by Adelson.
It really made me think. Really good Doc. I was actually happy Hulk won. After watching this Doc, not so sure.

On my 5th seasons of Weeds. You have
to watch it like it's the old Batman TV
show, totally suspend your disbelief
and it's pretty entertaining. Lots of
good well written comedy mixed
with serious stuff. It's a hoot. MLP
actually gets hotter with every season.

On RT they run documentary's every day. I'm watching a series now on the bombing of Laos. I've seen them on Vietnam before but I don't think on Laos. Laos is asking the US for help in clearing unexploded ordinance from the VN war.

Some stats they have already shown. we dropped 80 million bombs on Laos although never declaring war on them. Many of the cluster bomb "bomblets" didn't explode, they think they have fewer than one percent of the land cleared.

We dropped on average one planeload of bombs every 8 minutes, 24 hours per day for nine years. Watching interviews with some of the people that lived through it, one guy in particular was born the same year I was [55] and it made me think how different our lives are.

1/10th of the population was killed.

It is tragic what happened there.
How do you get RT?
