binged all 3 seasons of Dragon Prince on netflix.  I hope they make more.  Some cool fantasy, but extra cool dragons.

Watched this with my girls and we were hooked. Excellent show/watch now.

Mamoru Oshii is finally doing another anime series.  IMO even his bad stuff is worth watching:

oh, damn. I forgot about the new forum quote, was hoping to get Hillary in here as well.

The Outsider. I'm halfway through, loving it.

Done all of Narcos: Mexico and then went and have almost finished Narcos. Mexico being my favourite. 

I've been watching so much of it I had a dream the other night and it was totally in Spanish. Weird.

Having only seen his mainstream work, I'd be curious what you consider bad?

I'm excited for this though!

Started The New Pope yesterday. Two episodes in, so far.

They've dialled up the weird.

Still looks gorgeous. Some puzzling sex scenes, but, hey, it's a show about the Vatican, so it's not *just* gratuitous. Not as much mystery as The Young Pope, but that's to be expected. Put down of pope Francis II in the first episode was a bit too much, but that was over quickly. The rest is a lot less obvious. Still weird enough.

Did I mention weird?

Also: gorgeous.

Really looking forward to the rest.

Just finished True Detective season 3. 
Quite Good/10

Cruised through it. I love how the A story, B story and C story are all solving the same crime with the same characters at different times in their lives. 
Mahershala is pretty amazing. His old-makeup is really well done, too.

Shit, Sorrentino is doing TV? Thanks for the heads-up! Check his movies if you haven't...

Started watching Dark. Or D A R K, whatever. I feel like this is going to be a long road to nowhere. And I can't stop seeing Ulrich as John Doggett. Is this show worth the time?

Lol Netflix is suddenly recommending a bunch of disease related shows/movies to us... Contagion, Pandemic... Afflicted and so on.

We aren't watching any of them, just thought the targeted advertising was funny.

I finally thumbs down’d that Hillary docuseries Hulu keeps trying to shove down my throat and the next featured show that now pops up on my homepage is The Strain. 

Just let me binge Deep Space 9 in peace, god damn it.

lol for real...

Honestly though we've never watched shows like that and we don't watch dramas/docu-dramas etc so it's funny. They're trying to cash in on the fear.

I got pretty disappointed, the attempt to maximize the shock factor in the end of season two is a cringeworthy facepalm...

Better Call Saul Season 5

Westworld Season 3

Good stuff all around

Is Fargo (the TV series) any good? I've heard it is, but unsure about it

If I liked Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, would I like Fargo?

I like all of those shows and I'm a very picky customer. 

Currently working my way through Parks and Recs, and Seinfeld (I fucking love it)

I'll be watching Westworld when they are all online, can't be waiting a fucking week to watch stuff.

I always thought the movie version was ripe for more exploration of the class structure, how the government worked, the worker class that supported the elite, how the apocalypse began, etc.  hopefully we're still here in May to watch it

The new season of Fargo halted production just like the rest of Hollywood, who knows when / if it will air?

This may be an unusual opinion, but I like Fargo better in a lot of ways. The story moves along more quickly and the twists, turns, and action hit harder.

I watch too many TV shows, I believe I’ve become a bit of a picky connaisseur now too, and yet Seinfeld is still my favorite one. Along Twin Peaks I’d say.

Parks & Rec is super fun and a proper feel-good show.

Fargo is an amazing drama, especially if you have a soft spot for all sort of irony and hmmm life’s overall non-sense. All seasons are fantastic.

Recently, I’ve enjoyed Succession tremendously. Future classic IMO.

Am also rewatching Veep, a personal favorite as well.
