>>>   1:31p  "Suits LA"

Follows a new group led by a former NY prosecutor who built a law firm in LACA 

that specializes in criminal and entertainment law.

~~  I watched the entire original series but towards the end there were complicated

story arcs that I couldn't follow.  I don't know if they intend to keep that aspect.

~~  One critic asked, "Why should we care?"  He adds, "there’s nobody likable in this show, except Eddie."

Another said, "Objectively, it is awful. But ... it goes down easily, and there is the bonus of it never taking itself seriously."

Another said it's not satisfying because, "we have no idea why anyone is doing what they’re doing".

Another said it's dumb and asks you to "turn off your brain before viewing and let the whole thing wash over you like a warm bath."

He added that "It’s pleasant enough, soothing even."  I'm not sure how that can be.

~~  So, I'm not sure why I'm bothering to watch it.

~~  I started following a recap that looked pretty good at first glance.  The main thing is

that the first scene described was actually the first scene.  Lots of recappers seem to

start watching several mins in, or maybe they just don't think the first scene is important.

But he left out a number of important details, and in the next couple scenes he was

mixing up characters.

~~  So, after 6 mins, I took a look at another recap which did start at the first scene but

didn't mentioned that it was a nightmare (which might not me that important, because it

was an accurate memory of a past incident).  But then he mentions a later scene before

getting to the 2nd scene, and is generally too cute in his construction, which is also

a flaw in many recaps.

~~  I went back to the first recap and found it was jumbling the following scenes so 

it became impossible to follow.

Actor Gene Hackman and his  wife and dog were found dead this morning and the news

This is an "incestuous" episode where a main character becomes a hostage in a bank robbery.

There was a "Jenny" but it was referring to a valuable postage stamp.

There were 2 Traceys, one a character and  one an actor.

~~  There seemed to be so many plot holes but all of the reviewers seemed to love the episode,

mostly because they are so charmed by the chemistry of the 2 leads -- they don't really

care about the plot at all.

--   3:15p  Leaving to bike, then get dinner @Arby's: 2 gyros (with coupon)

But it probably wasn't worth the time.  And TiVo cut out before the end.

This takes place in the fictional Eden Vale, WA, which has a population of 9347.

In other words, it's smaller than 2 of my high schools.

-- 11:35a  Finished adding rental car lic plate to I-Pass system

but I went around in circles many times.  It's unclear if I'm using Pay-by-plate.

I added the plate to my existing account, but that would seem to imply that 

I have a transponder for the rental car, which I don't.  But, if I created 

a unique Pay-by-Plate account, they'd charge me the full cash price.

An info page implied that I could use Pay-by-Plate and get charged half, but

only by downloading the app, which I don't want to do just for this purpose.

So, the whole thing seems to have been designed by idiots.

~~  While eating, I was able to watch TiVo on phone for a few minutes and then it 

said the connection was bad and I couldn't reestablish it.  I was able to use Xfinity Stream after

a 2nd try.  When I have to waste so much time getting these  apps to work, it seems that it's  just not

worth the trouble, but, at least sometimes, they work without a problem.

-- 11:24a  Inside after biking 2+3;  ... "Lopez Vs. Lopez"

My cyclometer also had a problem.  After having biked 9 mi, it reset to zero.

Yesterday, since it was the start of the month, I reset it to zero on purpose, and I usually

have trouble doing so because the button is flaky.  But it's strange that it was able to

reset itself today because you have to hold down the button for 3 seconds.

>>> 12:46p  Paradise"  (Metacritic: 70, 40-90, #31)

This is a Hulu show but first ep was broadcast on ABC.

It's about a lead Secret Service agent accused of killing the president.

There is a twist at the end of the first episode.

I won't get a chance to see the rest until I take another Hulu subscription,

which I'll do, eventually.

IMDB and TiVo gives the earlier date.  Apparently, it premiered after a playoff game so I failed to notice it.

When a secret prison suffers a mysterious explosion that allows the

nation’s most violent serial killers to escape, a former profiler is

thrust back into a thrilling game of cat and mouse.
