OK. I'll give it a try. I dropped Netflix a year or so ago because it was so disappointing but maybe it's better now.

I don't have Netflix, cancelled it on principle because of some of their series (long story.) I just looked it up on Paramount because, as a CBS show, I thought it would on there. It isn't, a testament to how streaming giants get you by the throat. So instead I now am suggesting we watch Frost/Nixon and do a comparison of that kind of journalism vs what we'll see (or hear of) tonight ;)

Hi Valerie, I did watch the movie. That was a hard watch. It was an excellent movie but watching the Nixon character was draining. I was reminded of Roger Parloff of Lawfare saying that the jury in the NY case had been, "steeped in weeks and weeks of watching this lying criminal filth." I felt like I needed a shower and a nap after that. Thank Jesus for Kamala Harris's dissection of Trump last night. Just like Nixon, if you put these jamokes in a corner, they show their true nature.
