I started watching Resident Alien last night. I’m only two episodes at the moment. I’ve already had a few laughs from it though so I’ll keep watching it. I’ve seen a few people say that they can’t wait for season 2 of Resident Alien, but on Amazon prime video it’s show that it already has 2 seasons, both season 1 and season 2.

One of my favorite series. Lot of outstanding episodes.
I’ll check this one out too. I only watched Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis last year. Why I didn’t watch them years ago is beyond me. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them.

Tried watching The Witcher, but just couldn't get into it. After five minutes, I felt the production, acting, and directing were all amateurish. I had to turn it off after the first ten minutes or so. I feel Game of Thrones is on a whole another level, except for the last couple of seasons. So, I watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which is an awesome film.

Same thoughts on the Witcher. Didn’t find it accessible or well done.

After finishing Yellowstone (the show gets better and better overtime, it is very rare), I started 1883. Great decor, landscapes and great cast. I really like that first episode. Highly recommend it.

I have seen the first 3 episodes of 1883 and like it even more than I do Yellowstone. Glad to see a period series for a change.

I recently started watching Outlander. I love. Firstly, the atmosphere, and secondly the actors and the idea. So far I have watched only two out of five seasons.

Have just gotten into Big Sky, a David E. Kelley show far, far away from Ally McBeal or other shows he did. Heavy drama to be sure but incredible cast including very evil antagonists. Binged three episodes last night with several more to go.

I have started 1883 it’s a very good show.

I also started the new season of The Righteous Gemstones but it feels outdated after the long break. Same humour register when it’s Danny Mcbride. He was great in Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals But so much in this new show, I think.

I've been using my exercise bike for 20 minutes a day everyday, and I've been watching Young Sheldon whilst doing so, it's such a gloriously well written show with great acting. I've had a few laughs at it. I haven't been watching it too long so it'll keep me busy whilst I'm in my bike for a while yet.

Just watched the latest episode of 1883. Absolutely beautiful, this show is amazing. That episode was so moving.
Hmm looks interesting but I don't have Amazon prime. I recently finished Narcos: Mexico which I preferred over the Columbia one - there is a far better series about Escobar and the Columbian cartel made in Columbia. Narcos: Mexico is actually pretty depressing and the most disturbing element was a sideplot about a Mexican cop who becomes obsessed with the disappearance and murders of women in Mexico. Especially as they are mostly unsolved in my understanding.

Man, I just watched the pilot EP and thought it was alright. Guess I need to keep watching.

I think the show is on Paramount +... If I remember correctly. Someone else might chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

I’m late to the game, but I watched Clickbait, finally. Not great, not terrible. I don’t think I would recommend anyone watch this, but it’s real value is in it’s commentary/portrayal of the parasitic nature of the ”news cycle”, with the media and society at large being the apparent villains until the real crime gets sorted out. It fires on all cylinders in that regard and so I don’t feel like it was a complete waste of my time. YMMV, but honestly, I feel like it doesn’t live up to its name.

Starting on Luke Cage Netflix. Quite interesting show and characters, and I really like it. Grounded and realistic with characters that felt real.

It's interesting seeing people praising Black Panther, a movie about a character from a fictional country, while they are forgetting Luke Cage, a more realistic and grounded superhero of color from Harlem, an actual and real city.
With Matt Murdock showing up on NWH and Kingpin showing up on Hawkeye, I really hope Luke Cage get the MCU acknowledgement he deserves.

It’s baffling that Luke Cage and Iron Fist both got two seasons, while one was significantly better than the latter, I mean other. When Murdoch made an appearance on NWH I got excited for the idea of Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and DareDevil showing up to help Spidey mop up the mess. Not complaining about what we did get, but that would have been epic.

Luke Cage was good and I think he could hold up a show by himself.

I too was hoping for the others to show up! Seeing Murdoch in the kitchen and then having him catch the brick, was freaking awesome! Here is hoping we get to see some of the others show up in the next MCU movies or series on Disney+.
