I'm 3 episodes into Succession. So far i'm interested.

Let's just say those are the 3 worst of the series...it only gets better. 

Episode 8: Prague is an all timer. 

The finale of S2 is up there with the best episodes of television I’ve ever seen. Obviously a different kind of awesome from GOT, Breaking Bad, The Wire etc. But tremendous stuff nonetheless.
 

It was just perfectly done: from the dialogue, confined setting, discussion at the table, to the last scene. 

I'm a few eps into Fleabag and I love it.

Wife and I stopped watching HBO Ballers a few years ago.  Started it over.  We love the show.  A little raunchy at times, but we like the story line.

Have heard good things about this show.

I have S5 on my DVR.  Guilty pleasure, I don't care if it's lifestyle porn.

Fleabag is one of the best shows of the year. The fact that it is so short is a huge plus. I plowed through the second season in a night. 

I started AHS: 1984 over the weekend. I'm two behind. I'm not a huge slasher film fan, but I liked the twists and turns. I wasn't high on the premise, but I like it actually so far. 

I watched the series finale of the Deuce last night. Strong last two episodes, some shocking ends to some characters, and I liked the way the show landed. 

Three episodes in to Stranger Things season 3. Great season so far.

My husband and I are watching The West Wing from the beginning. I've seen it once, he's never watched it. It will probably take us 2+ years to get through it lol.

I'm watching Six Feet Under on my own. 

I've watched the first 3 shows of "Evil"....I think it's pretty well done so far.  Acting and writing are very good so far.

Although I guess it would be fair to call it a knock-off of X-files, but instead of aliens you're dealing with the supernatural.

So good. I wish Sorkin had waited for his political drama until like 2015. He would’ve destroyed it on subscription TV. Instead we got The Newsroom, which I liked, but was admittedly not great.

It really is great. I binged it pretty quickly the first time. I can't get my husband to watch anything with me, but he seems to be enjoying it so far. He's caught me off guard several times by suggesting we watch an episode or two. Normally I have to force him into sitting and watching 45 minutes of television. 

I liked The Newsroom, too.

It's interesting to me how we always seem to be polar opposites with AHS lol! I've been 50/50 on this season; some of the episodes I've appreciated and some of them I haven't. Last nights episode to me was "meh"
I think the problem that I have is shorter episodes and shorter seasons which makes too many things happen too fast and/or glossed over. I just can't seem to get drawn in with many of the characters because of this. 

Started a few new shows this week on the firestick so I'm not sure what network they air on.

Primal- this is a cartoon that has no talking.  It is about a caveman who is befriended by a T-Rex and they try together to survive.  Its really good surprisingly.

War of the Worlds- Two different remakes were released recently both are from UK/France.  One is set in the 1800's and one is set  in 2019.  I enjoy both.

See- This stars Jason Momoa(sp?) from aquaman/GOT- About a world where everyone has been blind for centuries.  I watched the first two episodes, I like sci-fi so I enjoy it and will keep watching.

Watchmen-  I had to google a little more about the comic to catch on but I think i will stick it out.  I have to Ffwd at times cause they get a little dramatic and slow at times.

Just finished

The Boys- I almost gave up on it but i'm glad i didnt, turned out to be pretty good.

2 episodes into Jack Ryan S2. Typical spy show, but I love them all. It’s a genre that was never grow old for me.

I want to watch this show.

We have one episode left of Stranger Things Part 3. I've really enjoyed this season.

HA. I'm caught up now and I'm also meh on this short season. It has had its moments and twists, but the backhalf of the season so far has not been great even with some of the guest stars. 

Mayans finished up the other night. It is a pretty damn good replacement for Sons of Anarchy. Hits all the major notes.

I watched Jim Halpert play Ryan for Season 1, and liked it. Will have to start watching season 2.

Just finished. S2 > S1 imo. Got away from the cliche terrorist plot, and it seemed better and well thought out to me. I liked the conflict angle of this season,

Godfather of Harlem starring Forest whitiker playing bumpy johnson  is really good  9/10 kind of a sapranos/boardwalk empire feel to it.  

The Mandalorian on Disney+, definitely a must see if you are a Star Wars fan.

Might have to look into it. What Laley said about spy shows is how I feel about gangster stuff. Also thinking about watching Gomorrah at some time. Watched the move that is unrelated to the show, other than being based on the book about a real-life Italian crime syndicate and its feuding clans, and while it's uneven, a bit crowded for 2 hours and has a couple boring sub-plots, it did have enough potential to make me want to watch the show, at least for a while.

Finished the final season of The Man In The High Castle  10/10 they really wrapped it up nicely.

Finished Jack Ryan Season 2 9/10  great show.  

Rewatching Breaking Bad.
