    Eternaut is interesting. Genuinely well-done post-apocalypse from Argentina. With older protagonists, so I'm on board!

    I've seen all the seasons except the Chris Rock one (anyone seen that? is it as bad as rumored?) and the ones I've seen have all been good. Perhaps no antagonist out-intimidates Billy Bob Thornton, though.

    I enjoy the Murderbot Diaries and the new series is doing an excellent job of adaptation. My only criticism is that the episodes are jarringly short.

    We start so many series and give up on them that it's always notable if we finish a season, so I guess Your Friends and Neighbors should be commended for that, but I have definite thoughts about it. All the major players are acted excellently, though, perhaps even more than the characters deserve.

    Meanwhile I'm finding that series I LOVED the first season of are losing me in the second. The Last of Us, Silo, Bad Sisters, to name but three. (But definitely NOT the mighty Severance.)

    I enjoyed the Chris Rock one.

    The first with Billy Bob is still the best IMO.

    The actor who plays the almost supernatural (and mute) Native American hit man (Zahn McLarnon) is suddenly everywhere. He's amazing (and totally different) in Reservation Dogs and Dark Winds.

    I loved Andor.
    Watching MobLand right now and really enjoying it. The Audi RS6 that Harry drives is such a beast of a car. I want it! I'm enjoying watching that car as much as the show. ha ha

    I LOVE HARRY'S AUDI! Not an Audi fanboy like @THE HCP but that thing looks tough as hell.

    Department Q is a good binge-watch. It's like somebody said "I want us to do a show like Slow Horses, only with Scottish accents"

    I think the story is more interesting in dept Q, but slow horses is funnier (lamb is). We really like SH, but we can actually binge a bit of dept Q

    I just started the Waterfront with Maria Belo and two episodes in it's sort of "meh"...went back to rewatch the last couple episodes of Dark Wind because the new season is coming...I love that show. Zahn McClaren is a dead ringer for an old friend of mine from Sioux City. I'm glad to see him and more Native Americans getting acting gigs and more filmmakers portraying life on the reservation.

    Have you seen Reservation Dogs? He's so funny in that - also playing a cop, but diametrically different, and decidedly not tortured.

    Yeah, and one is espionage and the other is police work - the similarity is just forging a team of misfits led by a grumpy guy with a tortured past. Department Q is a bit ludicrous if you think too hard about it, but it's beautifully done so it's easy not to.

    I haven't seen that yet. I saw him in Longmire and Dark Winds so far

    Maybe one day if you work real hard and save up some cash, you can get an Audi. Just keep your head down stop drinking beer and grind as much as you can.
