Just finished S1 of Better Call Saul. The evolution of Saul's character is quite good.

I have got to pick up 12 Monkeys again. Stopped watching it after S1 mainly because my wife didn't like it much. I planned on watching the rest myself but forgot. I liked it, but I am a SyFy nerd

S1 can be a bit of a chore for some, but it gets exponentially better.  IMO it's one of the best shows ever, if you're ok with time travel.  Obviously time travel in general isn't for people who need to explain everything with "cause" and "effect".  I'm on my 2nd re-watch (and I don't re-watch hardly anything) and it's just absolutely brilliant.

Each season gets better and better. 

I finished series 4 of Peaky Blinders. Adrien Brody as an Italian American mobster was fucking great. The 1st scene with him and Tommy in his office was awesome. I'll start the latest series tonight. 

I'm also watching the Outsider on HBO. Perfect mix of True Detective and Stephen King horror.

The finale of the Good Place was last night. Wow. 

Deep and the perfect mix of how to handle loss, grief, moving on, death, and what it means to live a good full life.

Finished the latest season of the Expanse last week. It got really good with the Amazon money. I felt like the writing got better in spots. 

Over the weekend, I watched Season 2 of End of the F***ing World. It started slow, but I liked the ending. 

I am an episode in of season 2 of Sex Education. It's really really good...

I'm not afraid to admit I just finished Cheer in it's entirety. 

Holy shit, what a brutal sport. I'm somewhat familiar, my gf in high school was on the comp team, but not even close to this level. The amount of injuries is insane.

That's been on my list.  A lot of people seem to think it's one of SyFy's 3 best shows, if not THE best.  And that was before this past season.

Which, most people's gold standard / #1 is Battlestar Gallactica....so I'm going to have to track that down.

Sex Education is one of my favorites. I believe I'm on episode 5 or 6 of season 2.

Absolutely, I thought that I listed it, but apparently did not.

Better Call Saul came back last night and again tonight. 

It did not miss a beat and continues to be excellent.

Finished season 4 of Better Call Saul last night. Now I need to figure out a way to keep up with season 5.

Just started McMillion$ a couple weeks ago.  Finally getting around to episode 2.

This looks so fun to follow.

Find a way as it is really good now. The 2nd episode was Monday. 

I finished Sex Education the other day. I really, really like that show. It seems like an updated version of all those 90s teen comedies we all loved, just more modern and R rated. 

I started Narcos Mexico Season 2 last night. Strong, strong start to the season.

I recall reading it has the highest rate of injury among all interscholastic athletics.

Still working my way through Sex Education season two, Six Feet Under, and I've recently started Transparent. 

Very excited for Better Call Saul.
