I watched the first episode. I hope it gets better quickly.

However, I'll admit that I was tired when watching. It's distinctly possible that I dozed for a millisecond. Though Al will atest that I rarely do that.

Oddly enough, after rewatching and not dozing off for more than have of episode 1, this makes much more sense. I'm changing my opinion to 'pretty good'.

And after episode 2, it's quite good. If one can remain conscious at any rate.

Episode 3...

Still conscious and thoroughly hooked.

Will have to postpone Episode 4 until tomorrow evening. 

Absolutely the best show I've seen this year.

Was not bad but this aussie series is not worse. It is from a Jane Harper book and from her other books were made some enjoyable movies.

Paradise (Hulu) - not what I expected (in a good way). Only 8 eps in this first season, & ep 7 is very intense. Hoping for a second season.

I enjoyed that series ,Hope for season 2

Started watching that last night (1-3) and it is good and kept our attention. I'm going to take a look at the other one (Survivors) mentioned as well. Thanks!

Just finished the fourth (and final?) season of The Bear 

 

Hell ya, didn't know S4 was out. Thanks. (Hopefully not final)

 

Squid Game Season 3.

Binged it over the weekend. Still highly enjoyable.

The Space Giants. (Ambassador Magma)  - It's no U-FO. Also I don't think I will watch all 52 episodes...

This might be good:
 

 

I've been watching Bosch, series about a somewhat jaded detective in LA. Pretty good; into the 3rd of 7 seasons now.

Trying the pilot of Naked and Afraid Apocalypse (Discovery & Max) over lunch. For fans of Naked and Afraid, Naked and Afraid XL, Naked and Afraid: Alone, Naked and Afraid: Solo, Naked and Afraid of Love, Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing, and Naked and Afraid: Castaways. 1500% authentic.

The Lazarus Project (Netflix) - an absolutely crazy take on the time-travel sci-fi genre. Just finished binging S1, now starting S2. Awesome.

Alien Earth.

Ok, wow! VERY strong start. Let’s see if they can keep this up! I’m very much enjoying this.

The Day of the Jackal (Peacock) - series based on the 70's movie of the same name. Really good, and a well-curated soundtrack as well!

Lawmen: Bass Reeves. Kind of seems like it should be called Lawman: Bass Reeves, but I'll take it. Based on the true story of an escaped slave who became a peace officer for over 30 years, with 3,000 arrests, including his son. You may also recognize the name from the Tulsa/"Black Wall Street" open of Watchmen.

We've watched all four episodes and it's fun. But I have some kind of bumpy rash on the back of my neck and I'm concerned something is going to pop out and kill me.
