I know it's been discussed before (and they're not making another series) - but really enjoying Lethal Weapon. Started the second series last night.
I can’t work out if the wife is foxy, a Robert Mugabe doppelgänger or if I need medical attention.

It’s good pulp TV and I think it’s a bit better now the chap from American Pie is in it.

I tend to focus mostly on the neck down - which means foxy.

Finished watching Treadstone.

It was alright but, not great. A few very good bits reminiscent of the movies but, mostly a fairly run of the mill TV affair.

Worth a look when you've watched everything else on your list.

I liked Riggs a lot (far better than that twunt wayans) and was worried that S3 would turn into the wayans show (and to a point it has) but Stifler was actually a very good replacement

Just checked and no season 3 is not on Prime yet. Which is another reason I stopped watching at the end of the second season.

Agree. The only thing it did in however many episodes was set itself up for a second season.

Much better on there tbh.

Stumbled upon Ferrari 312B.

So many questions unanswered, but fascinating and evocative nonetheless.

Watched Ep 5 of May in Japan and get the statue reference now.

What happened to his chubby translator in that one?. Seemed to just vanish.

Yujiro is funny too, seems familiar like I’ve seen him in some other Japanese program, but can’t think what.
I like Yujiro - he does put me in mind of Wes Studi though

Treadstone is OK. There seems to be an attempt at an overall story arc but it's only OK.

Here's a thing though... how do the Americans manage to make a car or motorbike chase seem so pedestrian?
