They added a couple more seasons of Doc Martin on PBS Passport, so I've started with season 6.

I am watching “The Gentlemen” on Netflix. It’s definitely worth watching!

I just finished three seasons of, "The Boys." The show is quite the wild ride and I'd rate it X for sexual content, nudity, language, violence, gore, substance abuse and general out of hand mayhem!

Season 4 is starting in June.

So many Kdramas, not enough time!

Just finished Chicken Nugget. I really wanted to watch after I read about the webtoon being made into a Kdrama last year. I expected it to be silly, funny, stupid - and it was, but not sure if I liked it. It is about a man's daughter who turns into a chicken nugget. This suffers from Netflix syndrome - trying to Americanize a Kdrama by taking away the good and adding the bad = swearing - felt like every ep had the F word used in every other sentence, guns & violence (S Korea is generally gunless society), bad translations. The chicken nugget looks like a meatball not a nugget?! There was some good - it had some clever moments & lines, some things were lol, many eps end w/ a cliffhanger so you wanted to keep watching to see what would happen, use of famous actors, it is short - only 10 30min episodes. From reading reviews, it seems most either loved it or hated it. I gather many didn't understand ending and are asking for a second season.

Twinkling Watermelon. If you like Kdramas and haven't seen this one, it is a must watch, but grab some tissues! One of the highest rated Kdramas. A CODA travels back in time and meets his teenage parents. A feel good drama some compared to Back to the Future. I saw elements of that as well as Cinderella & Love Actually. Had a twist I did not see coming. I think we have watched 66 Kdramas now & rank them all, and this flew to top of our rankings to #2.

A Good Day to be a Dog. Female teacher kisses wrong guy when drunk and then turns into a dog from midnight to 6am, in order to break curse she has to get wrong guy to kiss her as a dog or she will be a dog forever. Problem is guy she kissed is afraid of dogs. Last 1/3 feels like completely different show due to explaining family curse in the Joseon period. Model, actor, Kpop idol from band Astro, Cha EunWoo, is male lead. Lots of dogs, cute & fun show.

Clean With Passion for Now. Loved this one - about a serious germaphobe who runs a cleaning company and hires & falls in love with a very messy girl. We laughed out loud in every episode.

Castaway Diva. Young girl on her way to realizing her dream of being a singer & meeting her idol, ends up castaway on an island for 15yrs before being found. Without giving anything away, it is about so much more - first love, family, aging. Still liked it even though a Netflix show, does have some violence.

When trying to pick a new drama to watch last night I looked through ratings & reviews on IMDB and read this show was so precious they didn't want each episode to end & that they laughed & cried with the characters. Sold me. So last night we started Twenty Five Twenty One, only two eps in & already really like. A teen girl runs away to her grandmother's house where she finds & reads her mother's diary from when she was in high scool. Back in 1988 her mother was a fencer wanting to train with her idol so she gets transferred to another school to do so while falling for an older boy deeply affected by the 1987 S Korea IMF (we paused show and watched a short documentary about this to better understand).

I watched, "Painkiller" about he Oxycontin scandal. It was depressing. The acting was good.

I've heard that "Dopesick" is good but I don't get whatever channel to stream it.

Just finished the new season of Equalizer.

Also just finished the last episode of the Three Body Problem. Really interesting but you're wondering what exactly is happening quite often. I should have read the book first. I have time though. The next season is expected out in 2026!

Currently watching Tracker. I like action shows where the hero always succeeds and it wraps up each episode. Same with Equalizer.
