David Cronenberg's classic horror-thriller Dead Ringers is being morphed into a mini-series. When it came out in 1988, Dead Ringers quickly became the most disturbing psychological horror film ever made (imho). The Academy were two chicken to give Jeremy Irons a Best Actor Oscar for playing twin doctors Beverly and Elliot Mantle. He wasn't even nominated - none of the other nominated actors were remotely close to his characterizations. This time it's Rachel Weisz playing the Mantle Twins, what makes this even more interesting is Emily Meade is back (The Deuce, Boardwalk Empire).

....it will probably be banned in Florida.

I started watching an Icelandic TV show called Trapped on prime.

So far it's a good paced series set in a very snowy Iceland.

Love that movie but I'd call it more creepy than horror. But it's reallly creepy.

I am a big fan of the movie Friday Night Lights. Finally got around to watching the series. It is real good. The acting, the writing and the way it is shot really got my attention. It can be a bit teen drama at times, but there is enough other stuff to keep you attentive. I love football and this is a bit like a look behind the curtain. I recommend this series.
A fav of mine too

Highway Patrol on you tube. Cop series from the 50's starring Broderick Crawford who was drunk on set a lot of times. Love seeing the old cars.

I enjoyed watching Alaska Daily . Finished 11 episodes of season 1 , No word on Season 2 . Hillary Swank is a new momma. Surprising that they could sub Steveston BC, ( S of Vancouver ) for Anchorage . I also finished Dear Edward.( Apple TV) A 12 yr old is the only survivor of a plane crash . The title character was annoying , but the interactions of survivor families made for interesting TV.

Already watched. I am planning to watch the new episodes recently added.
Check out Beef on Netflix. Just finished it. Easily the best show of 2023 so far imo.

Broderick Crawford was the Gene Hackman of his day, unlike Gene he was a prodigious drinker who never sought the need to reform. He won an Oscar for All The King's Men, it was remade in the late 00's with Sean Penn and James Gandolfini.

I don't want to put up with Disney's vapid shit but I may not have a choice. They now own Fox Entertainment, the excellent FX content is not available anywhere else. S4 of Fargo isn't on Netflix and no sign of The Bear.

Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman) is in S2 of The Bear, look like I have no choice but to sign up.

Too many streaming services to consider. I lost interest in House of Cards after Rachel Brosnahan was no longer part of it. Extremely talented young actress!

Do I have to sign up to Amazon Prime as well, or can I get in with my Amazon account?

The Critical Borracho just can't leave it alone.

Sure she's a modest talent but those Disney cheques are hard to turn down.
