Almost time for this one. I just finished the book too.
I see where our threads are getting rather long. I think I will start putting some of the folders in archives. They will remain open so you can still post in them. If a show is a reoccurring seasonal show then I will leave it alone, but some of our stuff is one time or one season and that I will drop in archives. Should you look for something and not find it let me know and I will help you.
I have watched the first two episodes of Tracker. It is ok, not great, but watchable. I have the third episode recorded.

Happy Day! And Tristan too - I figured with this new vet that Tristan would get killed off in the war.
But I didn't see a new season start date in that article. Did I miss it?
Great to hear Ruby. Hope they don't wait a full year to show it. Karen I wasn't sure either. I went back a couple seasons to see how many episodes they had - since it wasn't stated for this season. And I think that was the end. We will know next Sunday for sure...lol!
This is really a screen play loosely based on two books The Swimmer: The Diana Nyad Story
and Find a Way
both books by Diana Nyad
This was a flop in the theaters in October, but has done much better on Netflix - starting last November.
There was also a documentary in 2013 called The Other Shore, which can be rented on Prime for $3.99 the IMDb info about that one https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2459100/...

I just finished the end of the 4th season last night. Dragging behind just a bit in this series. Anyone heard about a 5th season? I assume with letting the new vet move into the house and the new baby they plan to continue the series? 🤞
Oh yeah - I also read that one but some time ago.
Two endorsements - great! Did either of you read the book first?
Good to know. This one is on my list, but it seems either I have time to read or time to watch TV, but not both...sigh!
Yeah me too - been quite some time for me. But I hope to see the movie hit the streaming channels soon.
Capote's Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era
by Laurence Leamer the complex web of relationships and scandalous true stories behind Truman Capote's never-published final novel, Answered Prayers--the dark secrets, tragic glamour, and Capote's ultimate betrayal of the group of female friends he called his swans.
There are certain women, Truman Capote wrote, who, though perhaps not born rich, are born to be rich. Barbara Babe Paley, Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, Slim Hayward, Pamela Churchill, C. Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy's sister)--they were the toast of midcentury New York, each beautiful and distinguished in her own way. These women captivated and enchanted Capote--and at times, they infuriated him as well. He befriended them, received their deepest confidences, and ingratiated himself into their lives. Then, in one fell swoop, he betrayed them in the most surprising and shocking way possible.
This series actually started with the first season on Sun, Mar 5, 2017, but recently a second season has emerged - which started on FXNow, and Hulu this last Jan 31, 2024 with the last episode to air on Wed, Mar 13, 2024. This season there are 8 episodes.

Does anyone know if there is a book that Bradley Cooper used to Produce the film Maestro? I know he wrote a screen play, but was there one book - or even two - that this was all based off of?

Want to stay ahead of the TV series by reading the books? Here is the list of books already published ~~Will There Be A Slow Horses Season 5, 6, and Beyond? How Many Books Are in Mick Heron’s “Slough House” Series?
Heron has written standalone novels, short story collections, and several novellas throughout his career, but there are currently eight full novels in his “Slough House” series, listed in order of publication here:
Book 1: Slow Horses (2010)
Book 2: Dead Lions (2013)
Book 3: Real Tigers (2016)
Book 4: Spook Street (2017) season 4 based on this book
Book 5: London Rules (2018)
Book 6: Joe Country (2019)
Book 7: Slough House (2021)
Book 8: Bad Actors (2022)
With so much source material in the “Slough House” series, fans are likely wondering if the series will continue beyond Season 4. Though Apple TV+ has yet to officially renew the series for future seasons, Smith says he’d be open to making “really as many as Apple and Gary and the audience want.”
