Darn -- the "like" button is still missing. Very much enjoyed watching Elise's episodes.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

Agree the book is better; read it when it first came out and was instaget for me. The follow up is pretty good and would make a decent miniseries if the first one did well enough to warrant a sequel.davey wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 10:19 amThe book is better. And I had trouble remembering the name of it, too...(19th C. for psychiatrist...!?) Got it at home... maybe not in the studio...econgator wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 2:48 amAnd it was a very good show, too.BigDaddyMatty wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 2:19 am NHO The Alienist. Turns out it was adapted into a limited series on TNT in 2018, but there are so many of those these days that it's hard to keep up.
Sadly, I couldn't pull up the name in time.

There's still room for your jokes!opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 6:33 pmI hate getting here late and finding all the good jokes have been made.
(parse that one, penguin )
Watched the show just now. Faithfully read every post and agree with "Uber" as a cromulent guess. Luckily, I bailed to Levi, even though the Gold Rush was 1849, and what happened to poor Mr. Strauss?
Another wrinkle for me was the "four" letters. TIL that the NYSE expanded symbols from one, two, or three letters in 2009. If it hadn't been in the clue, I would have Wagged LSI or something. Oh, and they have a dress code on the trading floor? SMH.
We will miss you, Elise. But I get to go to fourth grade now!

The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.
