I did a search of this thread for "Patriot" (an Amazon Original series) and was surprised not to find any mention of it.

If you like Coen brothers-esque dark comedy, you'll almost certainly enjoy "Patriot." It has a stellar cast of leading and character actors, including Michael Dorman ("For All Mankind'), Kurtwood Smith ("RoboCop," "That 70s Show"), Terry O'Quinn ("Lost") and Debra Winger ("An Officer and a Gentleman," "Terms of Endearment").

It ended after two seasons, but the storyline does get wrapped up rather neatly.
We really enjoyed "Patriot" loved the dark humour, and his angst.

I started watching the 3rd season of The Rookie, but something is totally off this season and after watching the first 3 episodes, I think I am going to abandon the series.

The Rookie was never a "great show", but a guilty pleasure of mine. I like Nathon Fillion and Melissa O'Neil, so I gave it a shot and ended up liking it.

It kind of reminded me of the show Scrubs, but for the police and just a little less comedy.

The first season had me hooked, and second was even better, and I had high hopes for the third, but the first three episodes, especially episode 2 and 3 lost the charm of the first two seasons.

Maybe I might give it a try when the series is over, but for now, I am pretty sure I am quitting it.

Based on the quality of the first few episodes of season 3, The Rookie will most likely be cancelled soon anyways.

I’m currently watching season 5 of The Expanse.
I love The Expanse, and just finished season 5 yesterday (at least I think I was last episode of the season).

While there was things I enjoyed about season 5, I think it dragged a bit compared to some other seasons.

I think there was too much time spent on Naomi, and specifically the Naomi+Marco+Filip storyline.

Maybe there will be some payoff in a future season, but it was a drag for season 5 with little payoff.

That was the season finale. I actually preferred it to season 4 but it’s time to go back and watch all of them over again. Season 5 stirred up some memories that need refreshing.

Watched WandaVision up to episode 5. Really interesting to see where Disney/Marvel going to steer the MCU to. The surprise at the end of episode 5 really made me happy since I love him in that version compared to what MCU originally did. :)

I watched it with my wife, who is nowhere near the MCU nerd I am. I knew there would be a cameo, and totally geeked out explaining who/what/when/where/why when she asked why do they look familiar. After my TED talk, she clarified, “no, I meant the actor. Why do they look familiar?” :p

Finished Stargate SG-1, as well as the Stargate: The Ark of Truth & Stargate:Continuum movies...

Watched Stargate: Origins (Catherine) as well, it was alright...

I had watched both Stargate: Atlantis & Stargate: Universe earlier, so for the time being I am all Stargated out...!

Totally looking forward to a potential new Stargate tv series...!

Not technically bingeing, but my wife and I have been watching the entire series of The X-Files since last summer.

We usually watch a few episodes a week along with the movies in order, and are currently on season 7.

I found a good deal on The X-Files complete series on Blu-ray last year, and have added them all my Plex server, well worth it.


I watched them as they aired almost 30 years ago, and most of which I have only seen once before.


One thing that I noticed watching them this time around is how Scully is really bitchy, to almost everyone, and how possessive she is over Mulder. Just never really noticed it before.

That happens when you're watching all Stargate all the time. There were a lot of episodes in that franchise.

Started watching Parks and Recreation. Never seen a single episode, but heard good things, and it's on Netflix so decided to give it a chance.

Four episodes in and I like it.

Call My Agent! on Netflix. It's in French with subtitles, which I don't mind at all. It's pretty funny.

I missed this the first time around, but I’m watching White Collar at the moment.

Wandavision, which is good. It did take a couple of episodes to get going.

Lupin and Call my Agent are also excellent. Both French, Lupin is dubbed and Call my Agent is subtitled.
