How about Space Academy?

I have a vague memory of Dr. Smith being in a goofy kids series with Robby the Robot but I don't remember Peepo. I remember the girl was in a creepy Star Trek episode 

Peaky Blinders (Netflix) - I know I am so late (like, ten years late!) to this party, but here we are finally. Binged thru the first two seasons, & started series #3. Not perfect, but lots of "fun" (usually in a dark-ish way). Dang, life was harsh not so long ago.

The Continental (Peacock) - all John Wick fans must see (a prequel):

Not to be confused with:

Spider Noir (Amazon Prime) - enjoyed this alternate take on the Spiderman genre alot.

Finished Suddenly Amish last week...

 

which lead to the reverse, a Breaking Amish marathon this weekend. 

 

And I assume Return to Amish is next. 

 

It being modern America, Jeremiah Raber, of the latter two shows, now has an album out. He may be King of the Resentful Adopted Into the Amish Bro Country singers. 

 

So...almost famous Amish?  

That sounded more alliterative in my head.

Me:  still working my way through UFO on Tubi

Edit: oops, not a TV show, don't feel like moving it. 😎

Jordan Jensen’s 2025 Netflix comedy special Take Me With You. Probably the best set I’ve seen in a while.

Legends (2026) - 1990's British customs agents enlisted for Thatcher's war on drugs. Quite good & engaging.

Also enjoyed Legends 👍🏻

I haven't looked to see if it is already in this thread, but we really enjoyed Kleo on Netflix. Funny and engaging and a fascinating place and time in Berlin before and after the Wall

Second season of Tokyo Vice 

Just started watching this, it is pretty good with good character development!

I'm going to watch Tokyo Vice next.

Don’t let the title get in the way. At least halfway through its limited run (all watched yesterday) DTF St. Louis (HBO Max) is really rewarding.

EDIT: Quality continues through all seven episodes. Kind of wonderful.

Even if not the top of its game, still the best thing on television.

We really enjoyed the first three seasons. We gave up on the fourth season. Hopefully, the final season was better?

If so, I may suffer through the 4th to watch the 5th.

Just finished up the latest season of For All Mankind. iI's such a damn good show!!

We lost my response this morning with the site going down. That’s a good thing as I said five is easily the worst season. I was halfway through. Now that I’ve seen the second half, the doors open episodes and wrap up to the whole show, it may be my favorite season. Man, it was a really beautiful show.

Thanks Ric. I'm going to watch 4 and 5 then.

^have all season 5 episodes dropped?

Yes, at least on Hulu/Disney+, though a little warning on the first few slower episodes as they prep for opening. Then the doors open. This season takes place over a single shift.

Also keep in mind there is the stand alone flashback Gary episode released before the season. I've yet to see.

More than any other show I judge The Bear on its successes, rather than its failures. I really can't think of a show like it. It's like Breaking Bad in reverse.

Do I need to finish "For All Mankind" before watching this? I sorta lost interest in "FAM", despite the subject matter & era being generally up my alley.

I’m not sure, but probably not as I never started For All Mankind. Same with the friend who encouraged me to try Star City (he instead talked about Chernobyl). Either way it’s likely the time period covered in the SC first season you’ve already seen in FAM.

Its creators address “new” watchers below.
