I have watched the entirety of Dopesick and thought that it was pretty interesting. It can be found on Hulu.

I was responding to Mission146's observation about "unnecessary nudity". I forgot there was an orgy scene in the first season. The director ended up cutting a number of scenes from the first season, so it seems that they simply didn't put them into the second season.

Henry Cavill (age 38) and Anya Chalotra (age 25).

Freya Allen's (age 20) role in the 2nd season is greatly expanded. Freya was cast for the role just few weeks after her 17th birthday. Since obviously the show is viewed by teens, I think the producers wanted to make it more parent-friendly.


I ended up watching a few episodes of the most recent season because my fiancee' was watching it and likes the show. My opinion of the show is neither favorable nor unfavorable; it's simply not my type of show. The only, 'Fantasy,' type media I like for anything other than Video Games is sci-fi or future dystopias.

We've been binging on Mayor of Kingstown. Once you get into it, it's riveting.

I just finished Longmire. It only took me three years to watch but it was a pretty good show.

Finished watching ep 4 of the series "1883" prequel to the series Yellowstone. With Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Sam Elliot and cameo's by Tom Hanks, the series is riveting. Western show written realistically. Great writing, scenery and great actors.
