Finished season 2 of Vigil a few days ago. Quite enjoyed it. A good amount of tension and suspense throughout.
Checked out episode 3 of the food docuseries Omnivore yesterday. Started it back in late-July, so it was good to get back to it. Informative & visually very appealing show.
Checked out the pilot episode of Roadkill - a series from a few years ago. My aunt recommended it after happening across it by chance ... said it was worth a look. Pretty good.
Still also quite enjoying Bad Monkey. A good assortment of characters and a nice twist at the end of the 3rd episode.

Thinking about checking out Homicide: Life on the Street in full with my pops. I only caught a little bit of it back in the day as I was in junior high at that time, and he never saw it.
Our current rotation (episodes I save to watch with him) = Bad Monkey, Omnivore, and Road Kill.
Gonna be checking out Tulsa King, Old Man, and Shrinking in September / October.

I was shocked just how much I like these shows. And how these older stars are able to find projects that allow them to shine.
But ummmm we need some more Black male lead series
We need a Black version of Kingstown, Tulsa, Old man, Yellowstone, Lioness etc
