I watched a few seasons of Lucifer, it is absolute trash but good to watch but trust me you will tire pretty soon. Doubt you will get past season three before binning it.

Struggling to make it to the end of season 1 so you’re likely right

slow horses is one of my favorite shows. the end of the last episode jumped the shark a bit though 

A  bit but so did S2 a bit. Reasonable suspension of disbelief for me, plus I’m a sucker for British spy shows and films. 

I'm also watching a bit of trash, but a bit better than Lucifer. Reacher. It's good. I've read the book so kinda know what's gonna happen. Happy there's a new season to watch when I finish this one.

Also a new season of The Tourist on the way. First one comes highly recommended.

I am going to miss the comradery between Larry and Leon, truly great comic pair

I will miss his rivalry with Susie even more.

Too many adult men arguing about what is and isn't anime in here for my liking.

so just leave...

The Rookie, really liked season 1 and 2, but season 3 is not much fun... I think I will stop watching it soon.

“A jackolit? Now what’s that, Larry?” 

Fargo is keeping up the momentum, with such a mish mash of themes, getting a lot of Faustian vibes. The digs at MAGA are nice too.

"The Boys" - in S02 onwards it heavily educates (U.S. centric) Zeitgeist issues (Trumpists are dumb losers, hate is bad, diversity is good, border protection, blahbleh). I am used to this educational aspect from german productions, where it is always present. I prefer entertainment, not to get educated by film makers, I mean, who do they think they are?

Just finished BODIES which I quite enjoyed really. Didn't fall into too many of the usual pitfalls with this kind of show and I actually really liked most of the characters which helped a lot. 

Slow Horses

Was a solid Gary Oldman / 10

Ah whatever, I stuck with it! Season 4 is much more fun than 3... some added comedy elements made it so much more enjoyable, waiting for season 5 now.
Meanwhile re-watching Grimm.

Pantheon.. well, that was a surprise. got pretty weird and abstract. good syfy romp. some plot holes but sticks to the big concepts well. 

what's up with all these new anime wannabes?

gonna watch them all anyway...

Pantheon is all about uploaded consciousness and all that entails with a couple goofy plot things but mostly pretty good and not too long. it fully embraces the abstract eventually which is good. they treat the subject matter pretty well.. it's not the deep dives of Neal Stephenson's "Fall or Dodge in Hell" which is about the same type of thing but with so much more as a part of the story. if you want a good cyberpunk "upload to the cloud" story.. Fall or Dodge in Hell is pretty great and wrapped in a lot of current culture war stuff that is really well done. 

Rewatching Mr. Robot.

Got a good deal from Paramount so finally starting Deadwood. Been on the list for years. A mate recommended Billions. That's also on there. That's me set for the next few months

anybody watching this? lots of Masaaki Yuasa's collaborators involved...

I liked it a lot. The story is nothing special, but the style kept me watching. Fun.
