ReplyDeleteShould be super fun!
DeleteBarbarians sounds interesting. There's nothing on Cable so I've been catching some shows on Netflix lately.
ReplyDeleteYep, the seasons on cable and networks will be coming late this year, probably January.
DeleteGuess who the handsome blonde gentleman reminds me of?? Lol. This series sounds great. Good thing some parts of the world were able to produce some entertainment for us. The cold weather is right around the corner. I’ve already lowered our air conditioning and will shut it off soon.
ReplyDeleteMost of the world is still shooting stuff, some of the Hollywood productions have been shooting here in my country as you can bribe anyone and work as it is not the end of the world LOL
DeleteWell, we are hitting Christmas movie watching season, so this one will have to take a back seat for the time being. I'll for sure add it to my list to catch up on in the new year.
ReplyDeleteNetflix has actually released all of their holidays movies this week!
DeleteThis comment made me way too happy. I know what I'm watching tonight!
DeleteOooh, I'll have to head over and see what's been added then!
DeleteThey've mostly promoted that Dolly Parton Christmas movie, but they have tons of others too.
DeleteWe miss going to the movies.
ReplyDeleteThis one you can watch on the telly :)
DeleteLooks like this could be very good.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it will be, Ray.
