Silo's trailer just gave me a Brave New World (Huxley) vibe.

I'm just going to go ahead and recommend this now. Conan's location bits on his show were always one of my favorite things, especially if he traveled (see his travels with Jordan through Italy as an example). I'm looking forward to this.

That's a perfect show concept for Conan. His off the cuff riffing and natural charisma have always been his strongest features. As much as I liked his talk shows, for every fun interview with an engaging celebrity, there were also uninteresting guests that dragged him down. This will obviously be a blast to watch.

The current writers strike reminded me how he was the guy who handled it in 2007 the best because of the riffing and charisma like you said

His show became must watch, he turned spinning his wedding ring on his desk into riveting tv. He even brought an MIT physics professor on to talk about how he could get it to spin more after a few weeks

Csnt wait for the new show

Went back a few pages to check (probably should go farther) but does anyone have any opinions on FROM? Looking for something new to watch on some short flights and stumbled on some good reviews for this show.

Sorry if this has been talked about, but I just started watching it. Anyone watch Jury Duty on Prime yet?

Very similar premise for anyone that remembers the Joe Schmo Show from the early 2000’s.

It’s pretty good so far. I don’t think anything can hold a candle to JSS season 1 but this is pretty well done.

The first season was good, I'm waiting for a bunch to watch through for this season before starting.

Worth giving it a shot if you like horror. If the premise doesn't grab you by the first 2 episodes it's probably not for you but I recall the first season held my interest throughout.

Anyone watch Rabbit Hole?

Just finished it this week. Thought it was ok, but a few too many leaps of logic for me.

I liked it. Sure there are plot holes to drive a booze truck though.

I'm getting annoyed with Silo looks like they are going to tease the crap out of the viewer for as long as possible.

Have found an interesting streaming service called MHZ Choice. It is entirely European (and mostly non-English, but well-subtitled) series and movies. I'm finding that the current content on Prime (even with Acorn or Britbox), Netflix, and Apple to be stale with few exceptions, and was looking for something new and fresh. Lots of material from overseas: Britain, France, Nordic countries, Lebanon, Israel etc. All genres.

First Episodes of everything seem to be free. And they have a 7-day freebie as well. $8 US per month (also can be tagged onto Prime in some locales).

A bit of a tangent as its not a 'show' but for fans of the Last Dance, I stumbled on this 'lost episode' of the Last Dance on youtube.

it focuses on Luc Longley, and actually got a lot of extensive interviews from key guys like Phil Jackson, Pippen, Steve Kerr, Stan Smith (big writer in Chicago at the time) and of course, MJ himself.

Definitely Longley focused (from ABC Austrailia I beleive). Worth checking out if you are a fan of The Last Dance.

Not sure what The Big Door Prize is.
It's not a comedy, not a drama, not even remotely a thriller, it's not like any show I can think of.
I'm on episode 6 and still watching.

All over this.

Shrinking is fantastic, and I get the same feeling watching itnas I do Lasso

That was a great watch, thanks for sharing!

After the first half, I didn't know why this would be considered the lost episode of the Last Dance, but it hits home in the second half. Also, as an introvert, I could really relate to Luc's story.
