Bit late to the party, but I started watching Lovecraft Country. It can be a bit all over the place, but it's pretty engaging. Definitely one of the best opening first episodes ever made. Anyone else give it a watch? It is batshit mad at times. One episode left to watch

Ya first episode of Lovecraft Country was brilliant. The rest was poor imo.

Finished Andor last night. A triumph of a tv show and might be the best thing Star Wars has ever done.

Thought much the same myself. 

Would I be called a racist if I say that it bothers me that they made Morticia and Gomez getting met in high school instead at a funeral........   :-\

Tried an episode of that Wednesday show.
Had to turn it off after 20 mins.
Absolute shite.

I keep seeing Bo Selecta popping up today online so gonna go back and give that another go. Thought it was hilarious back when it aired.

It was mentioned in David Baddiel's not very balanced Jews Don't Count documentary that aired the other night. Bo Selecta, that is.

Andor is the best thing since The Empire Strikes Back. Very dark and it made Obi Wan look like Micky Mouse

Finished The Expanse last night. Really was a great and very unique series. Ambitiously deep in scope and really pulled it off well. Season 6 is only 6 episodes though, and I didn't know this, so was expecting a further few episodes to explore some of the many, many open threads it left floating out into a future just as uncertain as every present moment throughout the whole thing. Anyway, yeah, enjoyed it a lot. Marco Inaros, Amos, Drummer, absolutely top class characters, and plenty other great ones besides.

I've started the expanse 3 times and liked the cut of its jib each time but I keep leaving it too long and have to go back to the start. Really must give it the proper run when the wife stops making me watch pure shite

Yeah, we left a big gap between season 4 and then watching seasons 5 & 6 and we had a bit of trouble remembering who'd done what. Could have done with a big fat 'Previously' at the beginning of each season rather than at the beginning of each episode within a season.

Aye The Expanse is a fantastic show. Season 6 was rushed but a good send off nonetheless. A fantastic selection of character's with Amos being the pick of the bunch.

Hopefully some day they'll make the last few books into a last few seasons. I'm up to Book 4 now. They are a great read and the show does a great job of adapting them.

Finished Foundation and it picked up a nice bit of speed in the last few eps.

Then sci-fi of a different variety, watched the first episode of Halo. Kickass first ep anyway. Unlikely to have the depth of The Expanse or Foundation but what harm.

I need to get back to The Expanse, I'm somewhere in season 4. Just kinda forgot about it TBH.

Star Wars: To what extent are Book of Boba Fett, Obi Wan, and Andor interdependent? Or, in other words, do I need to/should I watch Boba and/or Obi Wan before watching Andor?

Edit: Seems the answer is, neither are required viewing prior to Andor. So gonna start Andor tonight.

Aye no need to watch either before you watch Andor. Once it gets a few episodes in its lethal
