Yes. I kept it simple. I was assuming most CB'ers that have seen it liked it and wanted to confirm.

Please elaborate on what you think. I was going to put a poll choice regarding if people liked season 1 or season 2 more

As long as he cuts the “sticky” stuff I agree.

I'm going to say that is a bad take. Mando is the best thing to happen to SW in 30 years.

I don't disagree. If it was a movie trilogy it wouldn't be as good

Is Andy Reid the former Cougar with the most successful NFL career?

Blueto

Jan 24, 10:43pm

Maybe Tom Holmoe for Super Bowl Rings

Crowgar

Not a HOFer though. I think it's between Young and Reid.

Blueto

Tare

Steve Young or Andy Reid. It’s a tossup but being a star QB probably puts Steve over the top

Keisel had a great career not the best but very good.

When Tom Brady played and won his first Super Bowl in 2002, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen were both in kindergarten.

If he plays a few more years, we may see Rookies that weren't even born.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

WhirleyPop

We already watch that one

cougaman

How would you rate that one?

cbluil

Jan 24, 10:41pm

recommend it 9/10. A lot of swearing though.

cougaman

Jan 24, 10:44pm

Ripper Street. A British period piece meets police procedural with murders and drama.

Tricky

Endeavor is a good option. I loved Luther, but she didn't keep watching.

Same here with Luther. I figured you'd like it given your other likes. My wife

Tricky

cougaman

Check out Shetland. Another amazing UK cop show. Maybe a bit intense for her

Tricky

Didn't suggest Endeavor cuz it's gritty, but it you like Luther, try Whitechapel
