I was getting ready to find this thread too


Finished The 100….really liked it.


I know I’m 15-25 years behind the world but watched all of Breaking Bad and am nearly all through Better Call Saul…..like them both. Both are clever, a bit slow but they keep you going. Better Call Saul is an impressive Prequel (I haven’t finished it yet so no spoilers) acting way better than Breaking Bad…BB had some lower quality characters but loved the series.


Starting season 4 of Grey’s Anatomy

Feels like a risk these days starting a show before it's finished to ensure it's not canceled before wrapping.


But Mobland was entertaining.  Brosnan and Helen Mirren are a bit over-the-top, but it kind of works.  S2 probably a year away.


Paradise (2 seasons) on Hulu is REALLY good, and it is greenlit for a final season to finish.

I love "For All Mankind" on Apple TV.


If you don't know its an alternate history show where the USSR beat the USA to the moon and the space race continues after that all the way to eventually Mars and asteroids, etc.


It uses actual historical people that were involved on both sides while introducing new people throughout the show.


Each season fast forwards about a decade or so after the end of the previous season.

I actually liked GA for about 4-5 seasons but as soon as it was about huge unbelievable happenings/deaths/etc it became unwatchable to me.


I mean that hospital has a higher percentage  of worker deaths than steel mills in the late 1800s.

I've really thought about watching Paradise. I will try it out now.


Of course Landman is a must watch as well.

This is me with so many shows. Once I cant stretch my head to make it work with mental gymnastics -- and I am willing to go really far on this -- I just cannot do it.

I watched the Vinnie Jones one. Vardy and James are on deck.


I just started Widow's Bay. I'm 2 in, unsure if I like it.


Silo S3 is also back, but you gotta wait weekly. I LOVE that series.

Watch very carefully.  S2 will try to break your brain.  Though I think most of the foreshadowing doesn't really ramp up until S2.  Haven't bothered to rewatch S1, but I know there's some.

If you can ignore the plot holes and outrageousness, it’s a solid show. I’ll watch s3 for sure.

Paradise is on my list of stuff to watch. It's a fucking huge list because Spectrum went on a recent binge of adding random streaming services to what I get, so in the past couple years I suddenly got Hulu, HBO, Paramount, AMC, Peacock and probably a couple more, but if I live to be about 138, I should get to all of the shows on that list. Fingers crossed!

Well, it's sci-fy.  You can't really declare something a plot hole until the show finishes without explaining it, although there's really only one mystery I don't think I can explain [yet].  But that's just based on what I think is going on.
