Did you start at the very beginning (before Barnabas entered)? I did. Unfortunately, now the movies aren't showing up on there for me. I knew I should have bookmarked them or something. It was funny seeing the camera men getting caught in some of the scenes.

I would love to find the movie The Girl in Blue (aka U-Turn) with David Selby in it, but have not been able to. I have bookmarked Up the Sandbox though which has David Selby and Barbra Streisand in it. I read that David Henesy lives in Panama.

Just ran across this!

THE SANDMAN’ Season 2 release schedule:
Volume 1 - July 3, 2025 (6 episodes)
Volume 2 - July 24, 2025 (5 episodes)

Oldbroad, Dark Shadows is always worth watching from the very beginning before Barnabas arrives. And all the episode when there is a fly landing on his face!

I agree Draclvr about both points. For some reason though they act like the show only started when Barnabas appeared. Season 1 starts with Episode 210. I guess that's when people found it more interesting but I liked "The Beginning". He wasn't the only one bothered by a fly. I don't know how they did it.

Dark Shadows is one of my favorites.

When I watched it on Freevee, I could start with the later episode or the originals. I liked the actual beginning too. I think Elizabeth has a few scenes with a fly too. There were several scenes with equipment in them too! It was a very low rent show in the beginning.

Tubi has ALL of them also, Drac. I've never heard of Freevee - had to look it up.

Yes, we did.

I also use Freevee at times.

As I watch Fringe I remember how very entertaining John Noble is. The show would have stood on its own merits without him, but his performance elevates the show from good to very good.

We have been gently enjoying the latest season of Grace (detective series set in Brighton) with John Simm, and on the strength of that we have gone back to look at Life on Mars, one of his earlier roles, which I do not recall seeing when it was originally shown: great stuff in a genre probably somewhat before its time as mainstream entertainment, and great fun to watch now!

Just watched Dracula from 1974 with Jack Palance as Drac. I watched it on Tubi but I've seen it before as I have it on disc as part of "The Dan Curtis Macabre Collection".

Today I watched The Tale of Sweeney Todd from 1997. Probably shouldn't have been eating while I watched it.

Loving Domina and Mobland right now.

Watching the Dresden Files with Paul Blackthorne ... good TV series. But first to admit the books are so much better as they usually are

Thanks for the info Draclvr. I really enjoyed season one of The Sandman.

I'm about halfway through Season 2 of Fringe, and just at the place where the series became long-form storytelling instead of episodic. It really is a great series. There's a huge surprise right at the end of Season1. I'm sure the fans went wild.

Watching season 2 of Andor and really enjoying it.

Just finished watching El Eternauta on Netflix. It is an Argentinian television series and while pretty standard alien invasion fare, I enjoyed it. There will be a season 2 at some point. I watched it in English because I find reading subtitles too distracting.

I just watched an older movie titled Knox Goes Away that I really enjoyed. The mini series Royal [blip]: Rise of the Tudors was excellent too.

We've been watching "Poker Face" and have really enjoyed it. Season 1 is complete and season 2 is unfolding now.

The Agency on Paramount Plus was good.

I'm really excited about the new Murderbot series with Andrew Skarsgaard. I loved the books and the series is getting rave reviews.

I too enjoyed Andor SQF

I just finished watching on ABC Season One of a series called Paradise. It involves the investigation of the murder of a US president in a very unusual "community".

I like dramas that keep you guessing and keep introducing more unexpected situations with the different characters...what you think is the truth...turns out to be more complicated and the many facets of the characters both good and bad kept me on the edge on my seat at times.

I loved itI Looking forward to Season 2.

Uncle Reg mentioned The Newsroom on here back in 2022 and a friend in Australia recently recommended it to me, adding this clip which prompts me to give it a try although I have not yet done so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRjFtLIzyOM&t=201s

Meanwhile I am also adding Andor and Paradise to my list of what to watch: thanks for those tips.

The Newsroom is an excellent series. It got a 8.6 rating on IMDb.

After starting to read the books I wanted to try watching The Expanse, but there is limited availabiklity to the earlier seasons on UK streaming services, so I have just bought all six seasons as DVDs on eBay - fortunately I still have a now rather redundant DVD/Video Cassette player!
