Haha. No, she is mobile. You are right, in Rear Window the photographer is confined to his apartment, is voyeuristic and develops the suspicion based on what he sees

In this case the neighbour’s wife has disappeared and as he is high profile the public has questioned it, but the writer is not confined to her house, and is interacting with him

Have only watched a couple of episodes so I can’t tell you how it unfolds and compare on that basis

I'm on season 5 (half way through) of Better Call Saul and it's so good. But I thought 5 was the last season, and realized last night that there are 6 seasons! Bonus season!

Last time I watched it, was to the end of season 4 and then I didn't go back to it after 5 was released. Fun seeing more of the Breaking Bad characters coming back in.

Finally got into Big Love. Older HBO show with Bill Paxton. It’s great. Kooky Mormon polygamists.

Is Mindhunter due for a re-watch? Why yes...I do believe it is.

There's a few shows that I absolutely loved but got so bad I couldn't finish. Weeds, Dexter, Big Love... just totally flew off the handle.

The Bear I stopped halfway through season three, that was enough of that. Handmaid's Tale I coudn't start season three, the ending of season two was so infuriating I just gave up.

Death by Lightning was a great mini-series.

I feel like they could have expanded the Giteau story a bit, but a nice pace for 4 episodes and one of the best ensemble casts i have seen in a while.

Great period of US history as well.

I also watched the Beast in Me (on Netflix?) and enjoyed it. The ending was meh, but Matthew Rhys has a solid performance

Just getting into this. It's pretty entertaining.

It's like watching a combination of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Twin Peaks and the Big Lebowski.

It's definitely not what I expected when I read the summary about it being a conspiracy based show.

Went into season 1 with pretty low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised by how much we liked it. We will check it out.

Agreed. Was fun, endearing and easy to watch.
Will definitely watch S2 of A Man on the Inside.

We really enjoyed S1 so I'm 100% game for S2. Bring it on Mr. Danson! Oh...and that black guy at the Old Folks' home! He was awesome!

I'm glad to see Lisa Gilroy in that. She's a national treasure, even though she's from Edmonton.

Well, finished up Better Call Saul. What a ride. I’m a bit sad it’s all over and that we are likely not getting any more BB/BCS universe shows.

Looking forward to watching Pluribus now. Going to watch it with my partner, which is exciting. I didn’t watch any of BB/BCS with her as she doesn’t enjoy super violent stuff.

It did start to fade, but Holy eff balls that ending with Gemma and Tara was something else. I actually had a visceral reaction, similar to when Oppie's arc went full.
