Lodge 49

A TV recommendation – I’ve been watching Lodge 49.  It’s a very strange show – featuring a beach bum protagonist who is like “The Dude” from The Big Lebowski, and a slow and somewhat surreal tone and pace.  Very offbeat, it’s unlike most other shows currently on TV and that is definitely a good thing.  And, at least so far, it’s very watchable.  A perfect accompaniment to the polar opposite show that I’m also watching at the moment – Sharp Objects.  Now that is a dark and brooding show – not an easy watch, but clearly high caliber cast and production.  Good stuff.
