What can you recommend watching?

Just watched 10 Minuets Gone on Great Movies and found it good to be a good movie. (y)
 
Free Solo.
On now BBC 2. Documentary on American free solo climber (no ropes, just bare fingers and a little bag of chalk) Alex Honold as he scales the frightening 3200 ft sheer rock face of El Capitan in Yosemite.

Stunning photography, especially when watched in HD. Also heart stopping.

Edit: a slow burn for three quarters of the film as they delve his personality, motivation and background, and show endless roped practice climbs. But the real thing when it finally happens is gravity-defying and palm sweating beyond belief. You have to wonder how long this strange guy will live.

Not sure, but my mom maybe showing some signs. I called her Wednesday, we spoke for about an hour. She called me the next day totally forgot the discussion we had the day before. May this not be my fate.

Back in the day, with my trusty amiga 500+ and a 14400 baud modem, used to access the BBS systems which later with a PC, via ISDN and DSL, frequented usenet.
Still access 4chan, well some of it via darkweb. Some stuff is/was even too extreme for me!

We binge watched Landman with Billy Bob Thornton on Prime. Can't wait for the next season to start. It's actually based on a guys podcast "Boomtown" when he was working in the oil fields in West Texas. It's one of those shows where you want to jump up and blurt out "that's right!" or "damn straight!" or "take that!" We're more reserved so, we sit and with raised eyebrows nod our heads in agreement with whatever was said or done to our satisfaction.
Then we resumed watching Severance as per @RA5 's suggestion. It did get much better.
For a break we are binge watching Schitt$ Creek. It's fun and much less intense. It's an older show so we have many seasons to watch.

The 2nd season of Severance is confusing after the wait. I may have to rewatch season 1.

Agreed, that’s what we did. Backtracked three episodes.
It a good series so far, I felt I didn’t want to skip any.

Just watched Compartment no. 6 on BBC4. Sort of a Russian version of Strangers on a Train. Actually quite good. Fairly predictable but superbly intense and claustrophobic performances from the two lead actors. Didn't really shift the dial on the question of life, the universe and everything but still a bleakly compelling watch that was worth the time.
