ZeroZeroZero -- very good Prime mini-series about a massive cocaine deal involving an American family with a shipping business handling the transportation between a Mexican cartel and the Italian mafia with all sorts of unexpected issues cropping up. Many of them the result of the Italian don's grandson shooting his shot to execute a takeover of the family.

Andor was amazing. Mandalorian so far has been meh -- but The Pirate was awesome.

Ehhhh, I enjoyed this season of the Mandalorian.  Although not that you mention it, not as good as the first two seasons.

The one thing that I didn't get is did Groku just drop out of training? Spring break? Clearly stronger with the force, but also clearly not a Jedi.

Barry is as crazy as ever.  But not sure I like where they've taken NoHo Hank's character

Ive got 2 episodes of Mandalorian left. Probably finish tomorrow. Then Barry is up next for me. Should plow through that and watch new episode Sunday.

Star Trek Picard season 3 last two episodes saved this series and was a great finale to end this story

Interesting.  Never really got into any of the Star Trek's beyond the original.  But the showrunner that took over Picard (S2, I think) is the creator of 12 Monkeys.  So that's really interesting that you thought the ending was great, because IMO the writing on 12 Monkeys is as close as any show comes to perfection.

So was already planning to check out his next project.  I think he has a few, and definitely looking extra forward to it now.

If you haven’t watched Star Trek the next generation it might not be as good for you but they bring back all the old charach

Started watching Silo on Apple TV+ yesterday and it's very good. I read the book trilogy a while ago and really liked it, so I was excited when I learned there was a show coming out. 

I started watching Based On A True Story on Peacock and its not too bad. It keeps me entertained. 

Plowing thru rewatching the Mission: Impossible movies before the 7th later this month. 1 still holds up. 2 is by far the worst, but passable. Probably take down 3 tomorrow. Then the rest next week.

Is there any question this has become the greatest action franchise, probably ever? Legit 6/6 awesome movies. Maybe argument for 2 being bad, but that would be harsh. And from all accounts, Dead Reckoning is going to kick ass.

Finished Ted Lasso the other day. Great show of course.

Jumped into Platonic and The Crowded Room on AppleTV and so far really like them both.

I'm on episode 2 of Ted Lasso. I like it.

Apple actually has a decent number of shows I want to check out.

Succession and Ted Lasso are on my watchlist.  Justified and Shameless, along with maybe Sons of Anarchy, are next.

I feel like I've never had less tv programs I care about.  A lot of great shows have wrapped in recent years.  Hard-pressed to come up with a single show I look forward to weekly.  Maybe Resident Alien when it returns, but the 2nd season fell off an excellent first quite a bit.

I'm not sure i have a single program I really look forward to on a weekly basis. Not a single current show, I don't think, I could even give a strong recommendation to.  Rings of Power and The Mandalorian might be it.

I’m on Season 9 of Married With Children.

NIIIIICCCCCEEEEE!!!!!

I actually started that a few years ago, lasted about 3 episodes and no reason I stopped just life.  THAT would be a really good call, because TBH I don't think I've seen every episode (compared to Seinfeld, where I've probably seen every show at least 4 times).

I've been wanting to watch The Shield again.  Had started a Sopranos rewatch, also, but didn't stick with it long.

Just finished season two of Ted Lasso. Nice little twist at the end. 

I've been working my way thru Curb Your Enthusiasm with by bro-in-law's Max login.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is hilariously awesome, imo. 

My wife and I are coming up to the end of the ER episodes. 

Wife and I started watching suits a couple weeks ago. Really loved the show until season 6. I have no clue why the showrunners made the decisons they did in that season.
