Exactly the same. Also been watching Lioness. Went a bit too much into the drama side of things than the action side for me.

Dexter Original Sin is a good one. The casting is top notch. I also love how they pulled in so many of the brands from that era with remarkable accuracy. Blockbuster, SEGA Game Gear, JanSport, etc.

How's the second season compared to the first? I really liked the dwarves in the first season, didn't care much for Galadriel

Overall, enjoying the series too. There are a few scenes I could live without.

Sheridan is putting out some great shows, Tulsa King is awesome and I can't wait for more seasons of that. I binge watched both seasons of Lioness a couple weeks ago & I really enjoyed it! Currently have 4 episodes of Yellowstone left and then I'm thinking Landman will be up next.

Just started Black Doves on Netflix. Two episodes in. So far so good. Keira Knightley is awesome.

Uh oh. We’re probably going to finish season 2 between today and tomorrow.

I don't watch TV but decided to watch Landman. Is it me or is the acting absolutely awful?

We are having a tough time finding something to watch so put on Presumed Innocent last night. My wife wasn't interested in it a while back when I suggested it. She stayed awake for 4 episodes last night (ringing endorsement from her). I know it's probably been mentioned here before but I'll just say it's pretty decent.

Watching Squid Game 2, I liked the original despite the relentless "Korean Shock Face" acting. They've tried to make a detailed lead up tot he games this time and it kinda doesn't work, I dunno, it's missing something so far.

Talk to me about Manifest. I came across it while looking for something new to watch. My mom was hooked on it when it first came out.

I'm well into season one. I see that there are four seasons - I can't imagine it going that long and get the feeling this is one of those that should have ended a lot sooner and is going down a rabbit hole. Any thoughts?

Happy New Year, everyone.

We binged The Day of the Jackal and thought it was excellent, other than the whole “River” thing. Seems like they could have figured out something much better for that part of the plot. But putting that aside, it was well done. Looking forward to Season 2.

Haha, the 'river' thing, totally agreed.

I really enjoyed Season 1. Good story, good dialogue, characters and development were solid. The storyline for Season 2 was a little weak. I didn't see the value of the forced/attempted "relationship" between Lioness 1 and Lioness 2. Wholly unnecessary IMHO. And I couldn't take the incessant screaming from Joe. I'll have to pass if they make a Season 3. There's nothing wrong with keeping a show a limited series. A sequel or prequel isn't always necessary.

I hear you. I thought the screaming was a little off too. Guess just trying to spotlight the stress she faces, although that should be obvious. Agree on the relationship thing. Seems like a sign of the times and at least it was a minor part of the season.
