The Righteous Gemstones has been good this 2nd season. They're near the half point mark now, and I thought it was clever doing a back story for John Goodman's "Eli Gemstone" character. That way they can balance the darker storyline with the over-the-top ridiculous comedy that the series is known for. They started the season flashing back to 1968. This past episode they were in 1993, etc.
Finished up The Tourist yesterday. 6 episodes. It was pretty good overall. Wasn't the strongest ending to the finale ... but on the whole it was enjoyable. Episode 5 was an interesting watch given the additional altered state the main character was in.
Started The Responder yesterday. If you're a fan of Martin Freeman's acting work - check it out. Have the captions / subtitles on if possible, that way you can follow the accent(s) and dialect / slang easier.
1883 has been steady this 1st season. It is a slower paced show, but they're telling a story and taking their time. Nothing wrong with that. Small guest spot from Rita Wilson this past episode. Her husband, Tom Hanks, had a minor role back around episode 2. And for fans of the Mayor of Kingstown show, you'll have recognized a few people from that show along the way in 1883. Taylor Sheridan keeps a nice rotation of talent from his TV series and movies, so you'll sometimes see people you recognize in his assorted projects. First noticed that with the movie Wind River ... then a few years later recognizing some of the names and faces on Yellowstone.
