I haven't had a chance to check out the first 2 episodes of The Old Man (season 2) with pops yet. They weren't available to dload with pops last Thursday. Gonna check them out this week with the start to Tulsa King s2, and more of Slow Horses OR Bad Monkey.
Mom was in town this weekend. Took her out for Japanese food yesterday evening & then came back and watched the Emmy Awards (DVR'd them to avoid all ad breaks). Also updated her flashdrive for her ... gave her the following stuff:
MOVIES - Trap / Greedy People / Cop Land / Didi / Twisters / The Bikeriders and a few other titles.
SERIES - Roadkill / Tulsa King (season 1) / The Old Man (season 1) / Shogun / English Teacher (first 3 eps) / Only Murders in the Building season 4 (first 3 eps) / etc.
She wasn't sure about Shogun initially, but once she saw the cast & crew racking up the Emmy Awards, she was like - "On second thought - yeah, I need to see this!" - She read the book back in the day, and I explained to her that part of it was filmed less than 15 minutes away along a local shoreline. We walked along Barnet Beach in the morning, and I was pointing out how it was partly filmed in the region.
Tulsa King - Showed her the first 20 mins of the pilot and said it was fun to see the "fish out of water" vibe of the show with him in his new surroundings. She might not dig the action / violence ... but she'll like some of the funny interactions.
The Old Man ... explained to her it's a slower burn at times, but a solid cast. Apparently there will be more of Lithgow in season 2 (and she's always been a fan of his) - so I'll probably save season 2 of The Old Man later for her this fall.
