I have Spectrum cable and they recently started unbundling the cable services they provide. So I have a bunch of streaming services that I never decided to follow, and haven't gotten in the habit of checking them. Not sure if I like this, but I certainly understand why the bill is so high and seems to always be going higher? Not sure why that is. But it's hard to get through to them.
davewiner's subscription list, blogroll category. List created by feedlandDatabase v0.9.3.
Anyway, one of those streaming services I get now is Paramount+ which is owned by the Ellisons, which I don't like, but they have a show that is really excellent esp if you like British crime stories, which I most definitely do, even if most of the actors are American, and it probably was recorded in Vancouver or in Queens. It's called, unimaginatively, The Agency, as in the Central Intelligence Agency. The story is fine, but what really sets it apart is the quality of the acting and production. Beautifully filmed, better to watch it on a nice big screen set with good audio. Two seasons only, but if you want to know the kind of TV I like, this is it.
I seen the new Game of Thrones just completed their third season. I tried getting into it, and couldn't. But then I didn't get going in the original series for the first few attempts. People this show is good, so I will give it another try.

GOP Lawmaker Won’t Back Nominee to Replace Him
“Retiring Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) has no plans to endorse the Republican nominee in the race to replace him — and in fact, the rift between the two has continued to fester,” Nevada Independent reports. “Two months after small business owner David Flippo (R) defeated Amodei’s preferred successor and friend in the GOP primary for […]

That means Republicans in both chambers […]
