i liked it too, i think i quit somewhere on the newest season. i guess got bored with it or something.
anyways, i like that its not a tv series that survives on cliffhangers, its more or less one and done cases, similar to that of the x files and/or older scifi series.

Season two is far more adult for lack of a better word, I’m guessing because it’s no longer on regular tv and just available on the service.
I just signed up for my first streaming service (if I don't count Amazoid Prime, which I'm dropping). Curiousity Stream bundled with Nebula, by using a favored EweTuber link I got it for $15 for a year. Lotsa documentaries and no commercials. I started looking thru Nebula this afternoon, and came across this very interesting exploration of Coltrane's cover of My Favorite Things, a broadway showtune by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Its actually on EweTube also, with a guest cameo by Adam Neely (another favorite EweTuber):
The interesting thing about this tune is that the melody never hits the Third of the scale, therefore you can play the melody over both Major or Minor chord patterns. I always knew the one section of Coltrane's recording suddenly sounded "happier", but didn't realize this until just now! Modal jazz is close to this idea (and this is flying, closely, over my head as I've never really understood "modes" that well).
A lot of new stuff to explore at this site (I'm not into movies too much), thought I'd share.
Oh, I also learned the "starving artist" who painted the stunning cover of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man died of a heart attack at age 24!
That song was written about the Vietnam war, but it applies to Ukraine right now so much it's scary:

Just started this one.
I like it. Watched 4 episodes today.
I'm watching this on broadcast PBS, could only find this trailer and clips on EweTube:
British wildlife videographer developed a bunch of homemade jigs for his high-speed cameras and spent the Pandemic in his backyard taking incredible footage (I learned how to cook ramen and watched cat videos). He set up different flower patches, and stone/wood/other habitats, even boring into their burrow to shoot video, quite a project.
If you have net access to PBS this might be available there; highly recommended.

This looks right up my alley. I like the t-shirt she was wearing " CANADA - Living the American Dream withouth the violence since 1867" That's funny shit!!
And OMG there's a scene in episode 2 where a Netflix exec type guy comes on and says "let's see this scene without the swearing" and then ... the hardest I've laughed in a while.
It's a very clever show, with humor subtle and (of course) sometimes not so subtle.
