Spinoff is just as good. If you like the characters and the pace of the show, you will like all 7 seasons plus spinoff. 

That's cool; I've really dug the first three seasons. Guess that shouldn't be a surprise, considering I think half the cast of The Wire has some sort of role in this show, whether it be major guys like J. Edgar or Chief Irving or minor ones like two of the gang of crooked cops in the second season. But it's been a fun ride.

I'm watching Landman and it's fantastic.

Agreed so far. 

Taylor Sheridan's series have mostly all been great, though Yellowstone clearly fell off when he became distracted with other projects.  Will be interesting to see if other of his shows suffer the same fate if they go on for more than a season or two.

Been going through Bosch. Through three of seven seasons and then might also watch its Legacy spinoff. Also started Peacock's Teacup, which seems like it might in the From class of horror where nothing makes sense, but bad shit is happening to people, so it's cool.

I read most of all of the Bosch books, and watched all of the shows. Thought Legacy would suck, but it was great (for what it was). Total win for Prime.

I don’t know if there’s a single likable person on White Lotus. 


Also, Lochlan reminds me so much of Jesse Eisenberg.

Watching “For All Mankind” on Apple TV. 


Middle of season 2 this is an amazing show. 


If you didn’t know, alternate history where USSR beat us to the moon.

It's one of my favorites. The intro to each season is pretty cool. 


Landman is fun, if goofy at times.

Righteous Gemstones might be Danny McBride’s magnum opus.

Just finished season 3. Liked it for sure. But 2 was a little better. 


Onto season 4 this week. 


Overall I would say the show is a 9/10 if you like space/history stuff.

I finished the latest season of Black Mirror over the weekend. I liked it more than the previous season. Eulogy was my favorite episode, with common people pretty bleak but realistic.
