Mini-series -- 7 episodes.
It is not a documentary, but a drama written around real events (with creative license).In 1940, Varian Fry traveled to Marseille carrying three thousand dollars and a list of imperiled artists and writers he hoped to help escape within a few weeks. Instead, he stayed more than a year, working to procure false documents, amass emergency funds, and arrange journeys across Spain and Portugal, where the refugees would embark for safer ports. His many clients included Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and Marc Chagall, and the race against time to save them is a tale of forbidden love, high-stakes adventure, and unimaginable courage.
Ok now, I am up into episode 5. This is a slow-burn series... which is why I avoid series like this-- too slow. It's why I gave up on Yellowstone. But I am going to be a trooper and see this one through.neonzx wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 8:56 pmI was super-bummed when Lie to Me was canceled.

Gonna have to have a peek at that Tin Star series.
Alright, now the show officially has gotten way much better in the latter episodes so I can recommend it.neonzx wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 8:31 amOk now, I am up into episode 5.

The end-end last episode? I wasn't sure what to really make of the Worth family jumping.
I don't want to be bitchy, but you might want to edit your post and put that in a spoiler tag, with a not that it,spoils the ending. I was thinking of checking it out, but I wouldn't be able to get involved with the family's story since I know their fate. If you go ahead and edit it, at least other who come by later can avoid getting spoiled on it.
Eh, I didn't spoiler anything. Maybe they jumped off a train or a boat to escape capture.....Kriselda Gray wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 1:02 amI don't want to be bitchy, but you might want to edit your post and put that in a spoiler tag, with a not that it,spoils the ending.

Definitely check it out Kris. It's a broken cop story with some outlandish situations. It has some good characters in it by some well known actors, and some fresh faces showing us they can tell a story too.Kriselda Gray wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 1:02 am I don't want to be bitchy, but you might want to edit your post and put that in a spoiler tag, with a not that it,spoils the ending.

I just started with episode 1 tonight so I cannot give a full recommend yet.In Florida Man, created by Todd, when a struggling ex-cop (Ramírez) is forced to return to his home state of Florida to find a Philly mobster's runaway girlfriend, what should be a quick gig becomes a spiraling journey into buried family secrets and an increasingly futile attempt to do the right thing in a place where so much is wrong. The series is described as a wild odyssey into a sunny place for shady people in the spirit of Body Heat and Elmore Leonard's Out of Sight.
The number of people who actually played on radio music outside of formal bands is intensely small compared to the output produced. I keep bringing up Leland Sklar because he played with damn near everyone that didn't have a bass player in a band. Glenn Campbell got jammed into a "HeeHaw" niche, but the dude could flat out play guitar and compose on the fly better than most anyone else. The Wrecking Crew and the bunch around Muscle Shoals are the basis for 70% or more of American music since 1950.bill_g wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 7:14 pm Question: In the 60's who were The Wrecking Crew the backup band for?
Answer: Just about everybody. If you heard a hit song in the late 50's, throughout the 60's and into the 70's, there's a good chance you were listening to The Wrecking Crew. They were a loose collective of professional studio musicians that performed and produced much of the music we know from that period.
The Everly Brothers
Mamas and Papas
Sonny and Cher
The Beach Boys
Frank Sinatra
Nancy Sinatra
Dean Martin
... and many many more.
They were Phil Spector's Wall of Sound.

Most people know about New York, LA, and Nashville, but not about Muscle Shoals AL. Barely a two hour drive south of Nashville, that quiet uncelebrated small town in northern Alabama made an oversized contribution to American music in all genres. It's an amazing story.John Thomas8 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:13 pm The number of people who actually played on radio music outside of formal bands is intensely small compared to the output produced.
