I got a free three month trial of Prime through my Amex card so I watched the first episode last night. Loved it. The show was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, the creative forces behind Gilmore Girls. So you know it’s gonna be great (yeah, I know this is board is predominately male, but Gilmore Girls was great). “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I watched the first two episodes last night - I enjoyed them - performances a little over the top but, that being said, I will continue to watch (especially if Mrs. Maisel continues to flash those amazing breasts) |

I'm almost done with season 2, she does no more flashing. This show is wonderful, it captures the late 50's perfectly. Great character development, great story, over the top production values. If only all of TV were this outstanding. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

A little melodramatic in parts, but suspenseful enough to hold my attention for two hours. I thought the two little kids gave good performances. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I might check it out - I was surprised that it was over 2 hours long If you like apocalyptic-themed movies - try this one on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80080491 |

Thumbs up on the house scenes Thumbs down on the river scenes I liked the spot they ended up in at the end. Makes a lot of sense how those people survived Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

The thought of watching Sandra Bullock for 2 hours has that effect on me. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
