Came across this Australian series - cross between Baywatch, Chicago Fire and a dozen other "beautiful people doing amazing things" type series. Only 3 seasons, but it's entertaining and I'm hooked.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is pretty much par for the course for modern Star Trek - - prioritizing mindless action over thoughtful writing (now with added shouting and lame comedy). The premiere episode was the last episode I'll ever watch.

The only current show that carries on the true spirit of Star Trek remains The Orville.

Really looking forward to the return of The Orville. Took them a few episodes to reach their stride, but they did it brilliantly. I really enjoy it.

Just started Cursed on Netflix. Wouldn't call it great but it's helping pass the time after dinner.
If you're not into fantasy, or a precursor to the King Arthur legend (Nimue, the Lady of the Lake), this won't be for you.

I’ve watched the first two episodes. Not feeling it so far even though I enjoyed Merlin, as mentioned below.

I did watch and LOVE The Order. Maybe I just prefer my fantasy in the form of witches and werewolves....

Just finished a re watch of Merlin. A fun series if you haven't seen it.

This was a great show. Watched it when it was on and remember looking forward to new episodes.

No worries. As I alluded to above, it helped me pass some time. I agree that Merlin is infinitely better. As for werewolves though, you can have them. I feel the same about them as I do walking zombies. ;)

Well, due to a snafu with Hulu, we now have Hulu Live till the end of the month, so I am watching Season 5 of Killjoys, which I will get back to right after this episode of Forged in Fire: Beat the Judges...

My wife and I just started watching Merlin (we are up to Season 1, episode 5) after just finishing Cursed (also on Netflix). It is interesting how the various characters with the same name are portrayed completely differently between the 2 series.

Haven’t seen cursed. I’ll see if it’s available on my TV (I don’t have Netflix).

Finished Community last night. It seems like the series lost its way the last season or two.

We went back and watched the last two episodes of The Umbrella Academy season one and first episode of season two.

Given that season 4 of Fargo will be released on Sunday, September 27th, I plan on re-watching the first 3 seasons of that excellent "series". I might even re-watch the original movie.

Also, will re-watch the first 2 seasons of Cobra Kai soon, as Season 3 will be coming out sometime "soon".

I am so sad that this show is ending forever. I feel like I’m losing friends. And when I realized what was going on with Fitz last week I actually cried.

Fitz is a casualty of the actor having another project he was shooting for, which in turn did not allow him to be present for the vast majority of this final season...

There are rumors of a Disney+ Agents of SWORD series, and some of the OG Agents of SHIELD folks might cameo in that some...?

I bought all the seasons of Dexter on DVD. Hooks you.
The seasons with Jonny Lee Miller and John Lithgow stood out to me.
Love Suits. Started watching it on demand at about Season 4.

Finally watched The Morning Show. It was OK. No biggie.
Just binged the two seasons of The Kominsky Method on Netflix. Loved it.
Alan Arkin, Micheal Douglas, written by Chuck Lorre; (Two and 1/2 Men, Big Bang Theory)

I’d love to see the characters now and then. But mostly I’m happy that Fitz was not dead and in the framework as I’d feared. Very happy with the ending we got.

Anything with Jonny Lee Miller or John Lithgow is going to be good. They are both extraordinarily talented actors.

I keep hearing about The Kominsky Method. I have to remember to put that on my list.

I am about halfway through Boston Legal, not my usual thing but it sounded a bit light-hearted and, it is. Actually enjoying it way more than I thought I would.
