I got about as far as her before binning it as well, but can't see myself going back to it. I hated every character and generally found it as dull as dishwater.

I'm watching The Dark on Netflix. Sometimes I convince myself if a show has subtitles it must be good.

Lads Dark is brilliant. Took me about 5 to 6 episodes to get into it and it's class. Cannot wait for season 3.

Dreadful show. I gave up very quickly on that one. There is so much fucking crap getting made and lobbed up on Netflix. Pretty much anything that does well, in this case Stranger Things (which turned rapidly to shite), gets copied and shat out.

Stranger Things can't hold a candle to Dark. I hated the first 3 episodes but stuck with it and thank fuck I did. Best thing I've watched on Netflix.

Almost finished The 4400. A bit dated but not bad, all things considered. Also S1 of Prodigal Son wrapped. Fairly standard police procedural lark. Michael Shannon is tragically under-utilised. A grand easy watch all the same. 

I've about 10 or 11 shows on the watchlist, mostly catching up on latest season of em. And even then, those seasons are in the 1-13 episode range. Gonna be very out of stuff, very soon. Might watch the Danzig movie then.

Just finished season 3 of Bosch.
Nothing groundbreaking, but well done.
And I've still 3 more seasons to go.

I don't know where some of yous get the time (and the persistence) to watch so many series, even on lockdown.

I'm watching that miniseries 'When They See Us', which is set in 1989. Anyone who has seen it will have noticed the oh-so-subtle smearing of auld Don from over there in the White House. I actually burst out laughing when he appeared, totally stupid and unnecessary.

I watched the first ep of the latest season. Usually it's one we can watch together but she's less enthralled with each passing season. Same with Ozark. I'd watch em myself but she'd give out to me for skipping ahead.  :-\

Finished Homeland season 8,i thought it was great!

I need to go back and binge watch Breaking bad,i watched it weekly on TG4 about 8/9 years ago,so would be good to rewatch.

Succession is the latest one that im hooked on,mighty show!,

Fuck it, I'm going to start this from scratch again. Been a long time  ::)

For anyone that watched wrestling back in the day, Dark Side of the Ring is a brilliant show. Some mental/tragic stories through the years.

I had just rewatched Jake the Snake on Joe Rogans podcast fairly recently and a lot of those have been popping up on my youtube recommendations since. Some really interesting ones in their alright.

I watched the first episode of the man in the high castle because if heard good things about it. The first episode didn't do much for me. Does it get much better?

Yeah, first episode looks and feels a bit like a pilot, but the show is worth sticking with. Totally unique as far as I'm concerned, complex storylines and characters. I'm looking forward to watching it again in a couple of years.

I got to the end of the second season. It's good but it can be very wooden. A couple of the main characters I can't seem to warm to, but maybe that's the point. I'd still definitelty recommend it, a very cool idea and when it's good it's really good. I'd imagine the next couple of seasons are well worth watching Black Shep? I need pushing..

I found I enjoyed the show most when I put everything else on the back burner. You need to let the show suck you in. And you have the benefit now of not having to wait a year for a new season. I found it difficult enough getting back into each new season, in a similar way to The Expanse, actually.
