Binged HBO's Beforeigners over the weekend. A wee bit of syfy combined with a murder investigation. Its the first Norwegian series for HBO Europe.

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.

Halfway through Season 3 now. 

I love the show, but it is not a show you can just binge watch. I watch 1 show about every day or every other day and let it sink in. 

With paradoxes, bootstrap or other, there is something to think about every episode for sure. 

I just can't watch like 3 or 4 episodes in a day on this one and I absolutely love the show.

New Ozark later this month.

Saw the trailer just a bit ago, can't wait. 

I have one Narcos: Mexico left. It is entertaining and pretty good. 

Some shows I am watching finish up this week: The Outsider and the New Pope. Outsider is a good mix of Detective Story meets Stephen King. The Pope has been slow, until the last 2 episodes which have been fantastic. 

I'll start Season 2 of Altered Carbon next.

I actually liked Altered Carbon, but I tend to like those SciFi distopian future shows/movies.

For those that like/want a combination of Star Trek mixed with a little time travel/alternate universe with the dark side of an Altered Carbon...

Dark Matter on Netflix. It was on SciFi or something years ago but I never saw it until Netflix, I highly recommend it for the SciFi fans out there.

It was a really good show that got cut off early with only 3 seasons.

I will be starting Altered Carbon season 2 soon. The first season was great.

If you like Altered Carbon and 12 Monkeys...give Dark Matter a try, it has a little bit of both of those but in space.

Never watched 12 Monkeys.

Ah, thought you were one of the 12 Monkeys fans on here.

Ehhhh, Dark Matter was just OK for me.  Probably not a show I'd recommend.

I was excited when I saw Dark Matter was a tv show, until I realized it wasn't based off the book Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. That book was awesome.

Halfway through Season 3 now.

It actually aired over 3 nights and was intended as sort of a movie trilogy.  IMO, it would hold its own with the best seasons of any other series.  And Season 4 is almost just as good (although S4 would definitely be mentally exhausting to try and binge!).  LOL, as for not being able to binge it, then prepare yourself because the pace in S4 kind of...picks up.

I'm two episodes into The Spy. I don't hate it, but it's a bit slow. Worth sticking with it?

Newsflash:  Gut likes the show 12 Monkeys.

Even though gut sucks the 12 Monkeys proverbial Weiner, it's a pretty good show. I really enjoyed it.

Showrunner has an idea for a sequel with the same characters

Does Dark Matter have any sort of ending since it was cut off? Cant stand watching shows that ended up getting cancelled with cliff hanger endings.

Ends on a cliffhanger...

Still some talks of finishing it in a streaming movie or a 4th season like they did with Firefly (Serenity) when it was abruptly canceled.

Just starting season 10 of Shameless. This show has went downhill. Debbie gets more annoying with every season. 

Halfway through season 2 of Altered Carbon. It is fine. It has its moments so far. I enjoyed season 1 a little more.
