We watched it back when it was rolling out & found it to be delightfully charming with a great cast & compelling story. The couple of movies that came out aren’t Oscar worthy, but clearly aimed at being a satisfying tip of the hat to their loyal fans.

Aw geez...

Watched episode 1 of Lessons in Chemistry. Really, really good.

I just finished ep 3 and I keep wondering where this is going. Where's the conflict when Carol is effectively alone? Intriguing but something's got to give and soon. 

Murder Bot is quite fun. 

Fallout rocks. 

The Pigeon Tunnel is a fascinating interview/documentary with John Le Carre before he died. His best novel I think was his most autobiographical one, "A Perfect Spy." Le Carre grew up with his dad, an extraordinary con man who deserves his own biography or unreliable narrator novel. 

Anyone see Government Cheese? 

After years of people telling us we MUST watch it, we're now in season 6 of Downton Abbey. Altogether excellent.

Stick
The Studio
Steve Martin documentary
Lessons in Chemistry

also good on ATV

Oh, we shredded through Pluribus in three or four days! Loved. It.

Well after Severance you might want to watch Pluribus several times because it's just as WT-effy but apparently Season 2 is not coming any time soon. Which is good, I think. They got a good response from Season 1 so I assume they're mapping out several seasons before they go forward. It's a trip, but... no rush!

I get Apple TV just to watch Severance. Then i cancel subscription until the next Season. Not that there's not enough other shows/movies that might interest me. But i have Netflix and that's enough distraction. There's just too much music to listen to.

Yes, we finally did - dionysius didn't want to wait for the second season of Severance after we watched season one via DVD from the library. Slow Horses is in our queue.

Did you break down and get AppleTV? I remember talking about Slow Horses (Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott-Thomas) and you were against adding Apple just for that.

Production wrapped in mid-2025. Heavy post-production and visual effects work, and a release is anticipated mid-to-late 2026

I was surprised, but the Better Half™ loved (and I did, too) all seasons so far of Slow Horses.

We finally have dug into Ted Lasso and absolutely love it - and then I discovered that Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent in TL, and now my spirit animal) is not only in Shrinking, but is a co-creator, writer and executive producer, so Shrinking is next on my list!

Silo doesn’t seem to be happening any more. Shame.

Really good stuff is quite rare. So I give you some of my favorite shows I watched completely, some more than once.
Not ranked:

The Sopranos

Breaking Bad

The Killing

Fargo

The Bridge

Up to date on Silo now, one episode to get caught up on Fallout and started Starfleet Academy.

Just caught S03E01 of Shrinking and it’s still damned good. Such fun to watch legend Harrison Ford chew scenery, and his clinic buddy is a hoot with some fantastic lines.
