NCIS: Tony & Ziva.

A spin-off of the original NCIS tv show, featuring past agents Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. It's pretty good so far. Haven't finished it, but I'm hoping it leads them to get a second season, or they bridge the gap so they can come back to the main series in some capacity.

"Uzumaki," anime version. It's a 4-episode series, so really more like a 2-hour movie split into four episodes. The story involves a town invaded by spirals (yes, you read that correctly). It's very irrational. Based on a famous manga by cult author Junjo Ito that was also made into a movie. My research indicated that the first episode was great, and they decline in quality with every new installment--apparently, they ran out of money as they went along due to poor planning. I watched the first two episodes yesterday night, will finish tomorrow. Honestly I didn't think episode 2 was noticeably inferior to episode 1, but I hear 4 is a disaster.

The Invisible Man TV series from the 50's on tubi. Haven't really seen enough to give an opinion, but I like the IM.

"Uzumaki" wasn't that bad. Ep. 3 was actually pretty good, containing the scariest mini-arc. 4 was a bit lame but not nearly as bad as I'd been led to believe. I benefited from low expectations.
