Reacher on Amazon Prime. Great show!

We really liked it to. I have never read the books, but a lot of folks are saying this character is closer to the books than the Tom Cruise version. Not just in looks but also in mannerisms.

Have the season finale of "The Righteous Gemstones" in the queue. This show is such a train wreck you can't help but keep watching it.

Just finished the last episode of 1883 last night. It’s among the best shows I have ever watched. The finale was amazing.

I just started HBO's Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. Wow. I'm already hooked just on one episode.
Sex and sports. What could be more exciting.

Wasn't interested in either of these until I watched. Discovery has rather good CGI with relatively complex plotlines, dialogue and puzzles to work out, decent acting. Yellowstone was a surprise. Billions in Montana. Cowboys with hellicopters. I am still watching Billions, but not as much of an impact since the current billionaire target seems to be a decent guy.

Currently watching Arcane on Netflix, really well done animated series supposedly set in the League of Legends universe (though never played it and not planning to).

I've just started watching HBO's Rome. Only 3 episodes in and I'm hooked. Fantastic story, fantastic character development -- although a bit fast and loose with the historical accuracy. Nearly all the actors are those I've never heard of before, but day-um, they've got me hating, loving, caring about the characters they play. No one dimensional characters in the main cast.
I love the interaction between the ramrod straight (Lawful Good) Vorenus and the loose cannon (Chaotic Neutral) Pullo. 3 episodes in and I'm already invested in this bromance.? Lucius Vorenus is the favorite character thus far. Pompey and Ceasar are both dignified and immoral--probably acceptable for the time.
If I have any complaint it would be the character of Atia of the Julli. The historical accuracy of the character is way off, but then a pious, moral woman would make for a boring main character. She's more an amalgam of powerful women of the time with a heavy dose of Clodia Metelli.
