Looks like you have a lot of time to spend catching up on those titles, Carl. Thought that JPJ was a bit creaky and talky, but Yellowstone has decent production values and the benefit of Claude Akins and Warren Oates. The real treasure is Thunder of Drums. Got some stills I'll have to post soon.
Happy viewing.
Took advantage of Black Friday to order some reduced price titles like Jaws, E.T. (for the grand kids), Hatfields and McCoys, and Breaking Bad seasons.
The Ringo Kid had asked about the "Spartacus" series. The first season which starred Andy Whitfield started out like a copycat of "300" - with cartoon blood and surreal backgrounds, but it eventually toned down the toon look and became more realistic. The gore and sex are over the top - if any fan boy wondered what Xena, Warrior Princess looked like under her costume, this is for you.
The death of star Whitfield threw the production into a tailspin so the next season consisted of only six episodes but was set in time before Spartacus came on the scene. It is actually better than the first season.
With a new actor playing Sparty, the gladiators are in the countryside, hiding and ambushing Roman regulars.
The fourth season starts next year and we don't need a spoiler alert to guess the outcome.
I winced at some of the cruel torture scenes which must have been supervised by a medical examiner. The suspense, the plotting, the battle scenes and even some of the supporting performances bump this up to at least a viewing if you're curious.
We deal in lead, friend.
