Last time I looked, you had to buy the seasons or episodes. I’ll check again.
I finally rented the new Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning, and the newest Indiana Jones flick on Amazon. $5 bucks each. The Indiana Jones movie was just OK. Not near as good as the others, though. The Mission Impossible flick was pretty damn good.
I don't care what you had to check LAST time. If you are a Prime member, all seasons are there, free of charge, other than what your prime membership costs.
I'm sorry you had a difficult time comprehending what I typed.
I'll recommend this with a caveat since it's probably not everybody's cup of tea.
Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix.
Set in 1600's feudal Japan where they've closed the country to all outsiders and outlawed all foreigners, it's about a half Japanese half Caucasian girl who is considered a monster due to her blue eyes. Her life is devoted to seeking revenge on one of four men in the country who might be her father.
It's animated beautifully but it's not a kids show - lots of graphic nudity, sex, and more blood and gore than a whole season of the Walking Dead. A lot of it is pretty dark, as in darkness of the human soul.
This could have been a trite invincible girl boss series but there are no one dimensional people here, everyone has an interesting story arc. One thing I didn't like was the plot armor in the last few episodes, earlier in the series she gets the crap beat and stabbed out of her and it takes days or weeks to recover, later on she shakes off crippling wounds in a few minutes, but that's about all I can think of to criticize it.
I like good stories well told and this was one of them.
Skip straight to 0:45 to get past some unimportant fluff.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

The Finest Kind on paramount+. As much as I loathe Tommy Lee Jones it’s a really good movie
Never heard of it Gruff. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks.

Saw a film the other day about a young man abandoned by his mother, his father is a workaholic and never home, but his father's second wife has a great deal of compassion for the lad and provides him the warmth and love he truly needs.
It's a short film, only about 15 minutes, and told in first person from the young man's perspective. Very lean writing and a somewhat sparse plot, the story develops quickly and has a very satisfying conclusion.
I'm not sure what channel it's on but apparently is available on several free streaming services. Also not sure of the exact title but it has the word "Stepmother" in it. Maybe something to do with railroads, or railed? Anyway, it was good enough to watch again.
Added: Apparently there is a sequel featuring the young man's relationship with his stepmother's biological daughter. Might have to watch that one as well.
The stepsister didn't have as much experience in taking care of the stepbrother's needs, so the stepmother had to step in and give her on the job training...

The Queen's Gambit is a 2020 American coming-of-age period drama streaming television miniseries based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Walter Tevis. The title refers to the "Queen's Gambit", a chess opening. The series was written and directed by Scott Frank, who created it with Allan Scott, who owns the rights to the book. Beginning in the mid-1950s and proceeding into the 1960s, the story follows the life of Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy), a fictional American chess prodigy on her rise to the top of the chess world while struggling with drug and alcohol dependency.
Netflix released The Queen's Gambit on October 23, 2020. After four weeks it had become Netflix's most-watched scripted miniseries, making it Netflix's top program in 63 countries. The series received critical acclaim, with particular praise for Taylor-Joy's performance, the cinematography, and production values. It also received a positive response from the chess community for its often accurate depictions of high-level chess, and data suggests that it increased public interest in the game.
The Queen's Gambit won eleven Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, becoming the first show on a streaming service to win the category. The series also won two Golden Globe Awards: Best Limited Series or Television Film and Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film for Taylor-Joy. She also won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie.
Beau is Afraid was pretty good, a little out there. Basically an adult Joquin Pheonix has a overbearing mother to the point she has employees everywhere keeping tabs on him and she makes him feel guilty at every turn. Crazy plot twist at the end.

I saw this on pornhub a few weeks ago

Thanks for the heads up, that was a good show.
Have been watching this again starting from Season 1 Episode 1.
I had forgotten what a nice little TV show it was. Doesn't go for cheap humor, it's more understated, no mean spirited drama, just a bunch of interesting characters. I also had forgotten how cute Maggie is.
