Stopped Agents of SHIELD after season six, have watched all seven seasons easily a dozen times, will go back to season seven later...
Currently watching Stargate Atlantis, probably about half-a-dozen full-thru viewings so far, mid-way thru season three right now...
Funny thing, a vast majority of the shows I binge repeat I actually watched for the first time when they originally aired; back when I had to wait a week for the next episode, or wait for summer reruns for any episodes I might have missed...!

Watched the first season of Terminal List, on Prime.
I enjoyed it. Not perfect, but surprisingly good.
I'm debating whether or not to read the book series before season two comes out.

Watching Night Sky. More interesting than I thought.
J.K. Simmons and Sissy Spacek are a great ageing couple, with some sci-fi things going on…
I started to watch it because I was 'grieving' Molly’s death in For All Mankind 🥲😂
Have to see that she is alive and well.
But 2 eps in I haven’t seen Sonya Walger yet (she is only participating in 2 eps though)

On Ep 4 of The Orville Season 3 and it's booooooring! What happened to this show? They took ALL the humor out of it basically. I enjoyed Season 1 a lot. Thought S2 was solid, but I'm not sure i can finish S3. It's so dreary.
I also watched The Boys S3. Far better than the crappy 2nd season.
But apparently there will be a 4th season even though most of the character arcs have been wrapt up. Sigh... I expect it to be pushing the characters in unbelievable ways just to make some drama.
I was disappointed in Herogasm. It was far more interesting in the comic. I shouldn't compare though as the comic is a hundred times better than the show.

This was recommended to me after watching Nathan Fielder's current HBO series The Rehearsal. Very funny docu-reality series from the late 2010s in which comedian Nathan Fielder portrays a business consultant who comes up with ludicrous ideas for his clients. The humor is very absurdist in nature, and reminds me of The Eric Andre Show, one of my favorite television series of all time. It was also the original of Dumb Starbucks, which made national headlines when it appeared.
Your taste is spectacular! Trust me, I would know... 🤩
"Nathan for You" + "The Rehearsal"
These shows might not be for everybody, but I found them hilarious. Nathan Fielder is a stellar comedian.

It's currently rated higher than Seinfeld on IMDb.
I'll bite. All that means is IMDB can't be taken seriously.It's currently rated higher than Seinfeld on IMDb.
That's not to say the show is bad. I've seen a few clips before and it looks fun.
I'm going to start watching Kobra Kai Season 4 in the coming days. Loved S1, thought it has been the only 80s reboot that has ever worked. Thought S2 was a mess and S3 was mixed. I thought the way they linked back to the movies in S3 was played perfect and hear they do the same in S4. Although I don't hold out much hope for it being overly interesting.
If there is one more love triangle misunderstanding I'm just going to stop watching. I don't know how many times the writers got lazy and went back to that well in S2 and S3, but it was too many.
The Bear: A tribute to Chicago and Cooking. Fast paced, dramatic and funny all at the same time.

and the depiction of the kitchen is so accurate (hiding of your mise en place, turning up the stove when you aren't looking, even stabbing!) that some former cooks can't watch it as it brings back memories of unhealthy work environments

'The Bear' Is the Most Stressful Thing on TV Right Now. It's Also Great
'The Bear,' FX's surprise hit about a family restaurant in Chicago, is the TV show of the summer—if you can survive watching it. Our review.

Demand for Italian Beef Is Booming. Thank ‘The Bear.’
The FX series has fueled a spike in sales of the sandwich at Chicago-specialty restaurants across the country.

I Worked in Michelin-Starred Kitchens. The Depiction of Trauma in 'The Bear' Is So Real It's Painful
The FX show is so accurate, former restaurant workers like me couldn't finish it.

Creepy is only covering 5% of this. I really struggled to finish it. 🤮
But 😈 is good teaching.
Amanda Seyfried's role performance is however amazing.
I will take IMDb seriously before I ever take this forum seriously.
Yeah, I really like it. There's a mix thus far of longer story arcs and somewhat once-off episodes (just watched episodes 5 and 6 and they couldn't be more different, but both very entertaining in their own right).
So far so good...
If you can accept the basic premise of the show, then the world's your oyster as just about anything can happen.
No. Seems like good cast otherwise too. Making note.
edit. But it's OLD.....so doubtful anything interesting for me.
Enough good new stuff to watch. Time is limited for entertainment.

Geez! That took a turn. You don't trust the users on this thread as much as the dodgy* IMDB ratings. Got it.

Just started The Catch with Peter Krause (Sports Night, Parenthood, 9-1-1) and Sonya Walger (For All Mankind). Pretty decent first episode...
This forum is much more dodgy than IMDb. 🤷♂️
