Just finished Countdown Inspiration4 Mission To Space. It’s a 5 part episode series on Netflix about the recent SpaceX Dragon launch of 4 people and I thought it was really good. The last episode is amazing when they finally launch!! Got a little misty eyed... damn onions.

Now finishing up on Challenger series on Netflix. I’ll never forget that day. Didn’t realize NASA had such a long record of issues with the SRM O-rings. That explosion was completely avoidable :(. It’s a good series to watch IMO if you’re a big space junkie like me.

The Challenger explosion was another thing I watched live at the office, on my lunch break. At the time I was working in Houston, just north of the Johnson Space Center. I'll have to catch both the Challenger series and the other series mentioned above.

The Challenger series was really good. I also really enjoyed one about the first trip to Mars, I think it was just called Mars. I’ll have to check out the Space X one. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. If you have Disney+, I highly recommend The Right Stuff.

Started on The Right Stuff tonight. 2 episodes in and it’s pretty good.

"Maid" on Netflix was really good. The lead actress was in "Once Upon Time in Hollywood" and her mom (in real life and the series) is Andi McDowell.

If you’re planning of watching Away on Netflix I’ll spare you the wasted time off your lifespan. It was a very cheesy melodrama loosely tied around sci-fi space genre. They really could have made it 4-5 episodes and called it done but noooo legs drag it on with boring melodramatic cliches and family issues back on Earth. I won’t spoil it but to give you an idea how bad I thought it was, for the last 4-5 episodes I basically fast forwarded past all the boring Earth stuff and only stopped once I saw a space scene. Not worth your time IMO unless you like cheesy and predictable melodrama’s.

Have you watched the first 2 seasons?
Sorry I was not clear. I watched 20 or 30 minutes of season 1 episode 1. I kind of got bored with the main character narrating.

Watched it a couple of weeks ago (see page 9).

Not a TV show, but a movie we watched a couple of days ago. We currently have HBO MAX, so we watched "Dune". Really enjoyed it, the 2 1/2 hours flew on bye. Can't wait for the second part to come out. The movie is the 1/2 of the first book. I read the trilogy (at that time) in college. As its been almost 40 years I need to read it again.

we also watched Dune and enjoyed it.[flag]
Watched "Dune" too....enjoyed it.
Watched "Same Kind of Different As Me" enjoyed that
Watched "Free Guy" that was good
Still watching "The Expanse" (at the end of season 2)
Watching occasionally "The 4400" and "Manifest" both are just ok - seem to be struggling to find their way.
Finished "Walking Dead"....end of the last season finally picked up again....still enjoyed it (watch it to work out to)

Quick Watches:
"Caribbean Life" - thinking about retirement properties!
"Who's Line is it anyway" - can never get enough of this show....permanently on DVR on Youtube TV. Laugh my ass off.
BBC World News -for world news.
ABC World News - for US news (almost never any world news coverage)

Dune was such a great movie! Can't wait for part 2!

@Julian just finished Expanse S1. Does it keep up the awesomeness?
