Yeah late 90s. Came out right before West Wing. This one never got that big but I've enjoyed it so far.

Acting is rough. Cuoco is miscast, a comedy/sitcom actress in a pseudo-serious international drama. It doesn’t really know what it wants to be and it’s not really clever enough to be a dark comedy, or serious enough to be a prestige drama. The Jeff Passan look-a-like actor is really bad.

Also, I thought I was in for a two hour drama, not a eight episode drawn out drama that I have to come back to every Thursday. I’m two and a half episodes into this thing now, so I kind of want to know the ending, but...

I do appreciate the idea of what happens if you completely **** everything up if you wake up at a crime scene.

Ok, enough being serious.

Do you want to shut your brain off and watch beautiful people be stupid? This is perfect for that.

If you’re looking for prestige on HBO Max, Undoing.

I just started this yesterday evening. Three episodes in, and so far it's brilliant.

I wonder if it's only on Max or if I can watch on A-Prime HBO

*checks*

It's available. Will explore and report back.

I thought if you had HBO, you had access to HBO Max.

Keeps getting better.

Finished Gangs of London. Good series.

Hmm, maybe I'll check this out then. Have been hearing mixed reviews.

Watching The Reagans on Showtime -- since I was so young for that administration, I don't really have any memories except what I've heard second hand... And growing up in Republican territory, it's always been super flattering. Interesting to see a fairly critical and unflattering look at them. /politics

Really? I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone say anything bad about it.

Mixed reviews? Wow. Can't see how anyone could knock it. We watched the final episode last night. Very good mini series --- errrr, limited series.

While I was curious, I didn't bother watching, since I read at the time it was more a political hatchet piece than reality.

Now, I have watched the Crown, and the last season was good as well. I think they've done a great job with that series. No clue how accurate it is, especially the current season about Charles and Diana, but it's entertaining.
