I tried watching "Hightown".

Mainly because it was a crime show set on Cape Cod. I could only make it halfway through the first episode. The show was just full of despicable people. Not a single likable character. Anyone else watch it? It's on Netflix.

We switched to Happy Gilmore instead.

I'm spoiled with British crime and procedurals. The caliber of the actors is amazing. I watched for 20 minutes and gave up when I realized the cast couldn't even get an extra role in Vera or Unforgotten.

I watched Happy Gilmore 2 as well. I thought the first half was really good. But it got really dumb in the second half. The Maxi Golf thing was pretty stupid.

Used to Nicola Sturgeon, James Norton, Adrian Dunbar, etc etc

You see a stark difference between those who attend Uni to become Actors and those who just audition and get lucky.

They even make series by Harlan Coben look like masterpieces!
