This is a multi-day catch up.  I watched:


Parish (AMC) I watched the first episode of this new crime series 
starring Giancarlo Esposito as a former criminal trying to live an 
honest life as a husband, father, and small business owner. But with 
debts getting out of hand he's talked into pulling one last job by an 
old friend fresh out of jail.  Esposito is the get away driver for a 
bank heist is always the smartest man in the room and two steps ahead of 
everyone else.  So far the show is off to a good start.


Shogun (FX) - "Chapter Eight: The Abyss of Life" - Following the events 
from last week when someone slipped and fell on a rock.  No, I refuse to 
get over that!  Torangana is in mourning and preparing for surrender, 
which will mean sure death for him and probably his lieutenants too.  I 
went into this episode thinking to myself there's no way he's really 
going to surrender.  This must be a trick. He's playing the long game. 
Throughout the episode everyone keeps saying, this *must* be a trick. 
He's playing the long game, right?  Right?!?  Good episode.


X-Men '97 (Disney+) - Thanks to bullying by the internet and the 
non-stop posting of spoilers, I binged through episodes 2 - 5 and I'm 
all caught up now.  Sure they were generally good and episode 5 was 
shocking, but the internet really needs to cool it with the spoilers! 
Back in my day when I had to walk to school up hill, both ways, if I 
wanted to get spoiled on the latest episode of a show I had to go usenet 
and click the wrong thread.  Now all I have to do is read twitter and 
every 5 posts there's not only a spoiler in the subject there's a video 
playing that I don't need to click to see it.  It's just there.
