Tried it. Couldn't get past the 4th episode.

The story really didn't interest me at all. Yeah, it's all about having sons and making strategic alliances and what not. After a couple of episodes there's not much else going on. Besides some CGI dragons and sword fights.

Waste of time.

anyone seen The North Water? just found out about it's existence and my interest is piqued.

Found out they recreated the Tammy Wynette / KLF video shoot for the George & Tammy series, now I have to watch it.

Andor is so much better the 2nd time thru

we did season 1 of this. now we're onto this (and this is oh so good):

had to stop watching this. lasted 8 episodes of season 1 out of a billion seasons

as addicting as this can get, it's also cruel beyond all comprehension. the show moves at the pace of a handicapped snail. 8 episodes dedicated to discussing the main birds wedding only to have her pass out during the wedding coz the father cannot stand the groom (which he made clear but changed his mind at episode 6 then got pissed again 2 episodes later)

also the amount of heaving and just under my breath muttered subtext while dressed to the 9's leaves a terrible after taste.

just finished "the playlist"  (short thing,  like 6 or 8 episodes as a whole )

based on the story of the creation of Spotify.  the buisness aspect of it.

quite a good take on the subject. tough, even it seems based on a true story,   it's still more a movie  than a true investigation documentary.

I enjoyed it anyway.

Watching Alone on Prime and catching up on the early seasons that I’ve missed. Quality reality survival show. 

Anyone seen Peripheral?

I got two or three episodes in but wasn't grabbed enough by it to continue on.  Had some cool ideas and scenes but the plot wasn't coherent enough for me to wonder what happens next.

I've read the book 2-3 times, and the series is quite good at making Gibson's ideas take shape, but of course it's an adaptation and not a faithful reproduction. Gibson is notoriously difficult to adapt, because his prose is so idiosyncratic and the themes and specifics nuanced up to a point of alienation (you'll need to read a third of a book to understand what's going on). The series is good, but not as good as Gibson's writing, so I'd suggest digging into the book, then pass judgement - but YMMV. There's once again talk of a Neuromancer adaptation, that's near or beyond the difficulty of adapting Gaiman's Sandman to the series.

Watched the first couple episodes of this show on the plane. Pretty good,  not life-changing. Gary O is furgin incredible as usual. I’m in. 

1899 already got canceled, lol

I binged the whole first season today cos I saw this post and was in the mood. I agree, not mindblowing but pretty deece.

Rewatching Stranger Things Season 4.  It is really great.  If you are one of those people that gave up after a season or two, I highly suggest giving it a shot.  Hell, just skip season 2 and 3 if you want lol.  You will not regret it.

they killed THE OA as well back then. Its was one of the best sci-fi shows I had seen so far 

this was great. a rich dude screws over a bunch of very rich people with the promise of investing their money to make them richer. its like the new york version of robin of sherwood

… although in episode three at about 15:11 the closed captions say “dubstep” is playing but it’s actually drum n bass.

that's why i said it's the new york version. they skip that part unless you can afford a lawyer  

Mate of mine has demanded I watch this asap. 
 

Murderville. The ugly walk, "DA FEHHDS" and the magician scenes have been absolutely golden.

i tried this, gave up a few minutes into episode 2. it's a load of hogwash with like 5% facts in there to 'legitimize' the 'research' as far as i could care to watch.
