LOL - nearly the entire flippin family are actors. I always have to look up which one is which. https://people.com/movies/all-about-the-skarsgard-family/
Stellan is a celebrated actor both in his native Sweden and stateside, appearing in more than 100 films throughout his decades-long career — including Good Will Hunting, Thor, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Dune, to name a few.
But Stellan isn't the only Skarsgård in Hollywood: The Swedish star has passed along his acting chops to six of his seven sons.
Gustaf, who is best known for his roles in Vikings, Cursed, and Westworld.
Alexander, won an Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe. Known for Zoolander, True Blood, Generation Kill, Succession, and Big Little Lies.
Sam, didn't go into acting - went medical and works in an ICU.
Bill, made it big in blockbuster movies John Wick 4, Allegiant, Deadpool 2.
Eija, daughter - not an actress, but did some modeling.
Valter, more known in Europe as seen in Black Lake, Katla, and The Journey of a Legend - biography of Toronto Maple Leaf's Hall Of Famer Borje Salming.
Ossian, new to acting as a teenager so I don't know of his movies/series.
Kolbjorn, new to acting as a teenager so I don't know of his movies/series.

taking this to the tv thread where it belongs
I watched the first season and thought it was enjoyable but I didn't feel like I was watching something so amazing that I had to rush out and recommend it. That honor belongs to Psych and Supernatural.

I'm a big Anne Rice fan. Love the vampire world she created. Snoozed through first season of AMC Interview with a Vampire. Watched first episode of season 2. Gave up. Forced myself to watch a few more episodes and once they got to Paris it got good.

Same thing happened with Spooks which I didn't think I would stick with. Took a season and a half to find it's legs but S2 finished strong and S3 going strong.

It's good, but I wanted to like this more.Really enjoying Your Friends and Neighbors thus far (2 episodes left). Almost reminds me of something you'd get if you mixed Fargo up with a bit of White Lotus. Also really impressed with Olivia Munn's acting chops. She's killing this role

Yeah it’s pretty bad so far. Disappointment for sure 4 episodes in.
Hate the kid, hate the new girlfriend. This has to be some writer’s trick to make them both so unlikable to set up something down the road, right?!?

I liked season one a lot but, yeah, this season focuses more on Gillis and ergo is funnier. Gillis's girlfriend is an awesome character as well. Season one also felt a little disjointed at times though I do think that Will is and should be the main character.
Thomas Hayden Church and Vince Vaughn were also really funny additions in their respective minor parts. The show seems to realize its strong points and got better at honing them in. Plus Gillis is now a major star so this is kind of like watching Jimmy Carey in Dumb and Dumber where pretty much everything his character does is going to be funny due to the viewer's appreciation for the comedian.

It's a fun watch much like White Lotus. It's definitely better than Season 3 of White Lotus but can't touch 1 and 2 which were classics.

Wow, I can see an argument for S1 not being as good but S2 was damn near perfect.

I was just a part time security agent there. I was the Director of Security at the Andaz Maui at Wailea at the time. Just down the road. The person in charge at the Four Seasons where White Lotus was filmed had been in charge there for 30 years. We were the new kids on the block and and I wanted to see how they operated. It's an elite resort.

I think Season 1 was crazier but S2, especially the finale, hit some bigger highs.

8-episode Norwegian series about an accidental killing and a purposeful coverup. Very self-contained, nothing supernatural or mysterious, just a few people making up a coverup on the fly. The acting is surprisingly good, especially Rebekka Nystabakk and Kristofer Hivju (the Scotts Turf Builder guy). Plenty of tension, no way to guess the ending. I enjoyed it.

I just started on Episode 1 of the first season. Didn't get a chance to finish the episode as we ended up needing to do something else before it was over. I can't decide if I like it or not. It is definitely different and has the feel of Impractical Jokers or the Carbonaro Effect to me but with a lot more awkwardness.

I watched it about a week ago and couldn’t tell you one thing that happened. I did enjoy it while I was watching as well - but kind of a lightweight movie.

Check out Nathan for You

That makes more sense then. You're either going to love his sense of humor or hate it. I think he's borderline genius but realize it's not for everyone. Nathan For You and The Curse are some of his other shows.

He's very hate-able. If you didn't like season 1, dip out and watch something else.

Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn's Treasure on Netflix was pretty good. 3 episodes.
Gold & Greed Follows the true story of Forrest Fenn, an art collector, who buried a $2 million treasure in 2010 in the Rocky Mountains with 24 cryptic verses offering the only hint to its whereabouts. More than 400,000 searched for it, including five people who died while searching for it.

Since I was thinking of MCD it made me think of this show. @Andy Dufresne @Gally @Jayrod since we all liked Psych I thought you guys might also like this one

Seen it. It was entertaining and very short lived. I think it was a spin off of the show Bones

It was. Pretty sure the only reason it was only one season is that they (the producers?) didn't want to keep going after the death of MCD.

Finished Netflix Turning Point: The Vietnam War. Such a sad watch. The Vietnam war is in the top 5 worst stains on our young country. Just epic failures before the conflict, during the conflict and arguably the worst failures came after the suppose end of the conflict. Really marked a shift in how citizens view the government.

I really liked Pee Wee as Himself although it was much sadder than expected. I remember watching him on Letterman before his first movie came out. Saw Big Adventure in the theater and Pee Wee's Playhouse was must see Saturday mornings, and I was in my early 20s at the time. lol That, combined with Ralph Bakshi's Mighty Mouse made for perfect wake-n-bake Saturday morning entertainment.
I had no idea about his life before Pee Wee and found his early years really interesting. The very end was really sad and it sucks that he appears to have been a victim of some political grandstanding and a witchhunt later in life.
His interviews were great and showed a really wry sense of humor, but a troubled life underneath. I'm glad the documentary was made and he was able to set some things straight. RIP Paul Reubens

Anyone watch the Tylenol Murders doc? I didn't know quite a bit of that stuff, given I was fairly young.
Seems, to me, like about a 90+% chance the cyanide came out of Johnson and Johnson's packaging plants, and they were allowed to investigate themselves basically, etc.
And the police and government just let it happen.
