Big fan of For All Mankind, Ted Lasso and The Morning Show. Did you watch "See" which was their first series they released after launch if I recall....it was really good. I can't wait for Season 2 to be released. |

Do not understand why this show is not more popular....it gets better with each season. The final scene with the cane was great. |

Thanks for the reminder. I'll finish it today.
EDIT: Watched the finale E10 today. Left a lot to the imagination. Looks like Melody Wright (Reign Edwards) will get some air time next season. Loved the ending, Saint hanging his cane on the back of a chair and walking out without a limp with Pusher Man playing in the background.

Watched the series. The methods the queen uses to pray are surprising. They're also titillating....and a little.... I'll be back for the second season. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Glad it'll be back for another season. Still alot more juice to squeeze in terms of the story. Solid season. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

Watched first episode of mosquito coast on a+. Seems interesting. First episodes are always toughest to judge . They crammed a lot in there. |

Tons more....Franklin's entire core group and operation is off the rails as the season concludes. Uncle Jerome and Aunt Louie appear to be going their own way....Leon is not happy....his mother is in Cuba, but I assume she will now return....and Gustavo is his connection now until Teddy McDonald returns. I am not sure how much longer it will go because I assume Damson Idris is getting a lot of opportunities based on his Snowfall performance that he will eventually want to take.
btw....wished they would have just left his father alone once he left the country. |

Yeah Mare of Easttown has been great.
I’m almost done with Patriot on Prime (had to check out more Michael Dorman after For All Mankind). I really like it.
See on appletv is up next |

Serpent on Netflix. Good easy watch. Finished it in a couple of days. Couldn’t stop watching. 7.5/10 I feel like this is the rating I give a lot of shows that aren’t “great” shows but they’re easy and interesting enough to keep watching.
Also finally watched Succession s2 a couple of months ago and that was truly incredible. 10/10.
Finished Yellowstone - a very good show..8.5/10.
Started and finished Billions finally..very entertaining and an easy watch as well I thought. 8.5/10.
Currently watching Mr. Robot..it’s a bit dark and slow for me but I’m chugging along...currently on s2. And as my guilty throw on pleasure I have started Desperate Housewives |

Don’t give up on Mr Robot while it’s slow. It pays off. I really think that once you get over that hump in season 2 it really levels up. |

Yup that’s exactly why I’m watching it. Plenty of you vouched for it over here I am going to continue. Even though it’s a bit slow and weirdly dark for me I find myself wanting to keep watching. That’s enough for me right now. |

Mythic Quest is back for season 2. Unlike the first season they are releasing episodes gradually, but the first 2 episodes are out now.
It fills the hole Silicon Valley left for me. There is a standalone episode in season 1 which I LOVED. Think it was episode 5. Even if the show isn't your cup of tea. That standalone episode was primo. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

That may be a reason for Franklin and Teddy McDonald to go after one another. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

City on a Hill has not been as good this season....but it might be finishing strong. Jackie Rohr is the worst....but he makes the show. |

Just finished the new season of For All Mankind. It's a lock for my top 10 list in 2021. Could be top 5.
Taking the time to put the characters first is the key to the show's success. You rarely see that in show with this much plot.
Excited for season 3 and beyond. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |
