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.

The latest episode that had Walter Goggins's Uncle Baby Billy water sking at the start had me rolling.

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.

Late to the party but started Stranger Things. I tried it years ago when it came out but didn’t get into it. But I like it now. Stranger Things, The Pitt, and St. Denis are my favorite shows at the moment.

I haven't watched the last season of ST, but I definitely loved the show. I will have to watch it eventually.

ST could’ve been all time, if they didn’t stretch a 4 year plot over 4 presidencies.

I've actually been really enjoying St. Denis.


Watched Stranger things for like 2 seasons and couldn't get into the 3rd.  Like someone else mentioned about stretching out the plot, early S3 was when I lost patience.

Also, not because it's good but the new Suits: LA has to be seen to appreciate just how badly they ripped themselves off.  Barely even tried to make the show different - like is the main guy TRYING to look and sound just like Harvey, or was it a casting choice?

I loved the original, haven't even tried the new one...not sure I'm interested.

I don't think it will last.

Like the original for about 3 seasons, then for some reason it stopped being a legal drama with interesting cases.

I will say after 3 seasons it kind of got like Criminal Minds...good show but so repetitive and predictable. I stopped watching Criminal Minds before the last 2 seasons for that reason. It was pretty much "here's a serial killer, here's the evidence/math, we solve/kill the serial killer" every show.


Suits did get kind of like that later on, just not as single show repititive like CM, just more over a season it was going to be the same shit.
