Started watching Parish. Reviews aren’t positive but first episode kept my interest. We’ll see how it goes. Only 6 episodes.

It's not bad. It's not great but it's not bad.

Finished Fallout, pleasantly surprised by this show, i'd say best new show since Last Of Us.

I like Giancarlo from BB but trying to stay interested in Parish is HARD.
The writing is bad and full of clichés, and the supposed bad guy crime family isn't believable.
Recently enjoyed Shogun, The Gentlemen, 3 Body Problem, and loved Loudermilk. The roast of Tom Brady was
pretty funny, Nikki Glaser and Jeff Ross absolutely slayed the place.

I find Hulu to have the most consistent original content being pumped out often enough and I really enjoy the shows.
HBO is great, but start counting the years if you are waiting for new content.

Netflix has some gems but they are hidden under so much filler garbage.

They will never recapture the magic of season 1. I don't like the new director at all.

SIL gave us their living room TV when they moved. That and their bedroom set became their suite at my house. I hung and then powered up that TV, connected to my wi-fi, and my BIL had a Chappelle queued up, so I watched to make sure things were working. NExt thing I know 30 minutes have passed and my sides hurt from laughing.

So basically you only like video game shows...

Started watching Bodkin on Netflix... mainly because I can't find anything to watch. Not sure what I think of it yet. Definitely not a hands down must watch... but it's kept me coming back for a few episodes so far. Maybe I just like listening to the Irish people talk.

It did catch my attention. FX typically does well so I hope that's the case here.

Fishburn is a phenomenal actor.

Yeah, he's good. I remember him before the rebrand when he was Larry on Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

My wife and I started watching Killing Eve on Netflix last week. 4 seasons with 8 episodes each. We just completed Season 1 and we both really like it. Sandro Oh and Jodie Comer are terrific in their roles. If you like black comedy and thrillers, check it out.

We sort of lost interest in season 2 if I recall. Not sure why but it just wan't holding our attention as I recall.

I'm bored and outta series, I'm kinda picky, maybe not as bad as Alfisti haha, but then again he liked Fallout and I couldn't last 2 episodes. Not into comedies at all - horror, thrillers, dramas are my things. I was getting into Dark Matter but I dunno now; other stuff I've put on a holding pattern are The Big Door Prize, Them, Altered Carbon, City on a Hill and Dr Death. My interest fizzles out quite easily, it seems.

Evil, Interview with the Vampire, Let the Right One In, Fatal Attraction, From, Gen V, House of Ninjas, Last of Us, Parish, Poker Face, Severance, Shogun, Virgin River and Yellowstone are all good. Can't wait for HOTD and when the heck is The Boys gonna come back?

Any suggestions for ongoing series?

Did anyone watch the old series, Boardwalk Empire? It's been a while, but it was pretty good back in the day.

We are just starting Season 2 so we'll see. I have no problem cutting my losses on series that go downhill. There is so much great content available. It's okay to be picky.

It's a weird series, episodes 2 and 3 are the weakest then it starts to come together, there are surprising plot twists, i was surprised how good the last few episodes were, several "well shit eh, i'll be damnded" moments.

It still may not be for you, or anyone else, but let's just say.... things are not as they seem and lines get blurred.
