Started watching the brand-new Vince McMahon documentary series on NetFlix. Doesn't look like it will be pulling any punches! LOL.
@Rhuarc - this may be a must-watch for all WWE fans.

Watched all 6 episodes and I’m still waiting for the controversial content that caused McMahon to try to buy the series from Netflix so that he can destroy it. Of course WWE Raw will be on Netflix in January so who knows if things were taken out

No spoilers but there’s nothing spectacularly new to be revealed about what McMahon did since he brought the company. You’d have to wait until the last half hour of the last episode to see anything about his current issues. You’re better off listening to wrestling podcasts like Jim Cornette, CVV, Busted Open for better info.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought the first episode was pretty good, but mostly a history of the early days of the WWF/E. Watching episode 2 tonight. I check out some of Cornette's YouTube clips, which are normally great.

Overall, I think all wrestling fans know Vince was a raging a-hole of epic proportions.

I'm hooked into Season 3. Kind of like the horror version of Lost. Makes sense since there are producer/executive producer tie ins.
agree, I just can't seem to pull away hahaha

also watched season 1 of Tulsa king which I really enjoyed

Now going to watch the history of the US Navy by History Channel

Diplomat became better after the first few shows- the reluctant character was so oveplayed that it was annoying. But it has been very good.

Finally got to watching Masters of the Air- enjoyable and worthwhile for anyone to watch but my number 3 of the series.

Watching For all Mankind now- 7th episode - enjoying it

I like The Diplomat but thought this season's ending was a little kooky. Saw it coming but thought it was a little out there. But I suppose the premise of the show is a little out there too as ambassadorships are usually just cushy jobs for buddies of the president without so much intrigue lol. Just put that aside and enjoy the suspense and what not.

Just started watching Day of the Jackal withe Eddie Redmayne, since signed up for Peacock for the month. Watched a couple episodes and it's good so far. Last year just watched our game and nothing else on Peacock. This year, we're like might as well see what else is there on it lol.

You can only pull the football away so many times until I lose interest. See also, the Walking Dead.
TWD and Fear of the Walking Dead were both good for most of their runs. All these other side series for each individual character is nuts

I've invested so many Tues nights for a decade I'm not walking away now.

Do I think they'll find "treasure"? Doubting it more and more but I am as interested about the historical aspects of what they're finding. I mean it would be neat if they found proof the Knights Templar were invested in the island. The English and French are no shock. Neither are the Portuguese or Vikings. But anything before that???

If there was treasure Samuel Ball found it is my gyess

I like Tulsa King, it's just mindless fun, where you don't overthink the plots. Found it enjoyable, Stallion as aging gangster and I like a lot of stuff Frank Grillo is in.

Diplomat was good but like @rutgersguy1 said, the ending was a little too much, but I can live with it.

Penguin is a hidden gem. very well done and acted, I was surprised but shouldn't have been from HBO. However, for a while they did start to get away from making good series, while they focused more on the political topics of today.
