Reply to comment by redbullrebel in are there any good American whodunnit tv series left? by redbullrebel

Big fan of Rhys, best show in the past 20 years is the Americans, IMO. PM is “murder (or mystery) by numbers” and there is some campiness to it, especially on 2nd watch, that I had to look past to enjoy but I think that has a lot to do with trying to pay homage to the original series. Not the best show out there but it has great acting, and a compelling story while adhering to noir and the aesthetics. I definitely look forward to S2.

I agree on Treason. I binged it this week and it became background noise while working. Incredibly poor writing and plot.

A fun mystery series is the recent and little fan-fared The Resort. The wife from Treason is the main character, and she’s hilarious, IMO. All the characters are interesting, it’s a good ride, it’s funny, and I’ll admit, the ending was touching.

Reply to TIL that Transdermal Celebration by Ween has a guitar solo that was played with Carlos Santana's guitar without him knowing it. Ween sneaked into the storage where Santana's tools were, played the solo just once, recorded it, and left the place. That solo is the one used in the final song. by outfoxingthefoxes

“And no Carlos’s were hurt in the recording of this solo.”. So much brilliance on Quebec, this just takes the cake.
