Currently watching The Vietnam War, E8 so far, and it is excellent. I know how this turns out of course but it is the viewing of 'the trip' that is most interesting. And I am learning all kinds of things I never knew about that period even though I grew up during that phase. One thing that really surprised me was that Creighton Abrams replaced William Westmoreland as the overall commander of the US forces in Vietnam. As an interesting aside, of course the M1 Abrams tank is named after Creighton Abrams but I was only familiar with him from much earlier fame; he was the commander who led the 4th Armored Division of the Third Army (Patton's command) in that outstanding maneuver that brought US forces to bear and relieved the siege of Bastone during the Battle of the Bulge. I was just not aware that he was active in Vietnam at all, never mind commanded all US forces there for the second and last phase of our involvement in that conflict.
Also current in the last season of Episodes with a couple of episodes left to go. Not excellent but really pretty good, offbeat and interesting. For Americans, I think the real plus here is watching Matt LeBlanc ('Joey Tribbiani') be..... well, a callous, crude and somewhat nasty version of Matt LeBlanc. Assuming Matt LeBlanc is not actually callous, crude or nasty of course :-)
Watching the current season of Ray Donovan and while the characters are all still excellent (really, every one of them is excellent in his / her role), the series is losing a bit of steam. Still OK and worth watching but it is having the usual 5th (I think) season plot failures and they seem to be hunting around for something interesting for the cast to do. Very common of course but not desirable.
