Atypical (streaming on netflix) Keir Gilchrist Jennifer Jason Leigh

This is a comedy/drama show is about a (highly functioning) autistic 18 year old. He's a senior in high school and he decides it's time to find a girlfriend. He's never ventured into this territory before and he finds his logical, rules oriented thinking doesn't work very well when applied to dating. He is also brutally honest which doesn't help. ;-D The show is a bit predictable but enjoyable. There are 8 episodes (approximately 30 minutes each).

Dwight Yoakam plays an interesting role - saw him in concert and he's much better as a performing artist i.e. singer

He plays a real mean SOB in the movie!
He played a mean guy in Dirty Girl (2010) as well. I really liked the movie (watched it several times). It has a great soundtrack.

Started watching the TV series Fargo a few weeks ago. Just started season two and it's not as gripping as the first season (so far anyway - but terrific cast!). I am appreciating Billy Bob Thornton more and more all the time. He can really play the creepy, evil, demented role very well. Maybe not quite as good as Steve Buscemi, but still impressive.

(I know I talk funny, but the exaggerated accents in this series - just like in the movie Fargo - are a bit over the top. But maybe that makes dark comedy even funnier. :indecisiveness: )

I wasn't able to watch the free episodes on Monday night when I tried (repeatedly). But it was most likely a problem with the computer I was using. So great that they are offering a few episodes for free.
morgan I tried last Thursday for ep 1 at the 8 PM / tried again at 9 and realized my chromebook does not support it. I watched on my Fire Tablet. Do you have a Kindle Fire or a tablet?
