My daughter is binge watching cake wars.

I am watching the expanse on amazon prime. And the clone wars on Disney+.

And of course tiger king.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Just finished the 2nd season of Altered Carbon. They set it up nicely for a season 3 if there is one. Now I need to watch Altered Carbon: Resleeved to finish it up.

May has some good ones returning: Dead to Me and Billions.

Man I just cannot get into Billions. People seem to absolutely love it, but to me it just seems like a much worse spin on a theme done incredibly well by Succession.

The first season was not particularly good. The second and third seasons were. The fourth was so-so. I'll watch the fifth.

I agree that it isn't even close to as good as Succession, but it holds my interest. Rich/government people behaving badly. Bubblegum, but fun.

Comparing those two shows, I think Succession is definitely better, but Billions is still fun especially Wags.

Started watching Berlin Station. It's a bit convoluted, but I'm enjoying it so far.

After Life season 2 just came out. (Netflix) If you don't like Ricky Gervais, then avoid it.

Having fun with season 3 of Westworld... but to be honest, it's like a completely new show (that may be good or bad to you).

I also started watching The Man in the High Castle (Prime). Left it med season 2 because it was slooow... but the pick up during the end of the season was nice.

Also in the middle of season 3 of Mr. Robot. Great show.

Finished Southland....again. One of the handful of cop shows I actually like.

Got my folks watching The Unit and they love it.

What is Southland on right now- Netflix, Amazon, or...?

It’s probably my favorite cop show ever. I say that without having watched ‘The Wire.’

Just finished the episode 2 tonight from season 3. Should be current in a few days. Got tired of the cowboy crap, so season 3 is a good change so far.

So far this fails badly comparing to GoT. On those I couldn't wait to watch the next one. Don't get that with Westworld.

The Wire is right up there, but they talk funny.

Southland is good. Really good.

It’s on Hulu.

It gets better. First two episodes are just giving you the “new landscape”.

I agree on Southland. It never gained a huge following, but I really enjoyed it. Regina King is great in everything she does, and Michael Cudlitz was outstanding - before that show I always thought he was just a bit player "jock" character actor. He was terrific in that role.

The Wire is one of my favorites, but you really need to pay attention to the dialogue or you get lost pretty fast.

Tried to watch The Wire but found it slow (only got to the first season). I did enjoy The Shield a lot.

Will give Southland a try when I finish the long queue of shows I have :grin:

The Unit started out good, then it became to "lifetime" movie.

Just started season 2 of Bosch. One of those series I'd never bothered with and now I'm glad I didn't - really enjoying it and means I have another 5 seasons to binge on.

Finished Berlin Station. Enjoyed it. Three seasons and then cancelled - they had material for a fourth but I guess not the viewership.

Watching season 3 of Killing Eve. Weird show, but still lots of fun.

Also started watching a series called Giri/Haji on Netflix. About a Tokyo detective searching for his brother in London. Lots of gangsters, Yakuza, etc. Not bad.

Billions season 5 just started, so I'll be watching that.
