This one got a lot of praise, but I thought it was bad. The "plot" was barely a story. I'm not sure why it was even made other than to offer a hit of nostalgia.

If you have an older Roku, you may just need to get a new one. We were having the same problem with our ~12 year old Roku. We gave in and bought a new one for $25 and it works so much better and faster.
Crazy how differently different people can perceive the same thing. Such is being human.
It's a Roku tv and it's not that old, maybe three years? Four tops? Supremely irritating.
Saltburn. What a trip. Cross between American Psycho and Downton Abbey.
Obliterated. Taking the hot shot A-Team concept to another level. Dumb, but very entertaining.

Binging X Files. Didn't watch TV when it was in prime time so it's all new to me. All I knew back then was I heard Scully was quite the punk rocker in her real life.
What do I think? Kinda hokey...OK, more than a little hokey, but Mulder's angst plays well against Scully's skepticism. I'm not sure I'm going to make it through much more as Scully is coming over to the "truth" and seriously questioning her training and worldview, and Fox has died and been reborn as a spirit warrior so it's getting deeper by the episode.

NYPD Blue.
Loved this show back in the day and used to "tape" all the episodes on the VCR. Many may not know what that means.
I got the Series DVD set from my wife for Christmas. The show got infinitely better mid Season 2 after David Caruso was out.

Oh heck yeah, great call on this one sir. I love re-visiting this show as well.
As for the VCR, did you also put in big black letters on the label some kind of message not to use that tape?

Rewatching True Detective season 1 before the new season starts on Sunday. Definitely looking forward to that.

Yes it was labeled clearly. Dad's tape, don't touch. My wife had one of her own for her stuff. And there was a vcr in the basement family room with tapes for kid stuff. Had to stay organized.
So good to go back and watch this show.
I watched The Core again. It's so stupid. I love it. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it. It's on prime video and it's ludicrous and a fun watch.
Sir Lawrence Olivier narrating?
Watched since I was a child...B&W but still an amazing series...I have on DVD

It’s too bad the show lost its creator after season 1. I think that explained the change in quality after, but I’m optimistic about the new one.
I enjoyed the third season, which is really underrated in my opinion, still haven't watched the 2nd season.
I found it for 50 cents on VHS a couple of years ago. It’s entertaining when it’s a rainy Friday night and you’re jonesing for some Hot Pockets.
I liked it for all the points you make. Artfully done. The Serpent was in a similar vein, 70s vibe and overall theme. BBC production since licensed to Netflix (in some regions, at least).
