Binge watched Halo and really enjoyed it. Surprised as I thought I would find it a bit rubbish. Also surprised to see some of the faces in it, good show and the sets and effects are top notch. I love the fact they have Cortana’s actress from the game in the show doing Cortana.
 
I can't exactly say I'm binging since the series in its entirety isn't yet posted. But so far, I'm really enjoying ATV+'s Black Bird. Paul Walter Hauser is doing an incredible job portraying creepy as heck Larry. The voice he uses is freaky!
Never any binging here....just some watching, but anyway....

That Larry, is a really creepy character!

The other guy is however a lot more pleasant, really cute.
Wasn't sure I liked it in the beginning, but I stayed with it.
 
Has anyone watched The Rehearsal starring Nathan Fielder (who also executive produced How to With John Wilson)? Very funny deadpan comedy series that's a very meta take on the mockumentary genre. The premise is that Nathan, as a fictionalized version of himself, helps people rehearse difficult situations with actors and sets. The show gets progressively more recursive with Nathan himself rehearsing situations and becoming a subject of the rehearsals. Laugh out loud funny.

What service is it on?
 
After watching the show I read the book by the WSJ writer and it was terrific. The show was only one-third as crazy as the book.
Thanks for mentioning this. I will surely read the book now. That’s one thing I love about e-books - I can have a title as soon as I think of of it. (Of course that led to over 100 still unread books on my Kindle. I’ll catch up some day.)

I just watched the first 4 episodes of Dopesick on Hulu. I’m truly speechless at the vileness of Purdue Pharma, the Sacklers, and everyone involved in bringing OxyContin to market.

Did you like it? I felt the conclusion was a bit unfulfilling.
My wife and I just finished this last night. We both really enjoyed the show. Great scenery (reminded me of growing up in coastal British Columbia) and we both found it a great catalyst for looking at the influences in our own lives. Re the ending,
it was a feel good one but seemed hurried. It would have been nice to see a little more about the aftermath of her journey.
