The Watcher but better download it on Torrent or wait for a second show to make the signup worth it. It’s decent show.

Just binged all current episodes of The Handmaids Tale.
I love Bradley Whitford and his character, Commander Lawrence.
"Do you have an irony deficiency?"
"Gilead's gonna Gilead."

LOL!! That WAS pretty funny! I love this series as well.
I'm thinking about doing a rewatch when they finally announce when Season 3 will get here. Are they still planning to show it in 2022, because the year is just about over.
Finished up House of Dragon.
Pretty disappointing, made the last season of GoT look great.
Bland characters doing boring predictable things. Most of which would have been a sub plot in GOT.
I thought we would get some backstory about how they became attached with dragons, rise of power etc... or see the perceived ruthlessness they were spoken in GOT.... nope.
Kinda interested to see where it goes, but hopes are not high.

The Sinner on NETFLIX.
Season 1 was very good. Some odd and disturbing things in there but who am I to judge?
Bit of a slow burner though. It appears each season has a different case to solve.
On to season 2.

So far I'm kind of inclined to agree with you.
Season 2 was just OK.
Season 3 ... eh we'll see...

Only the first 4 seasons were any good. The last 2 were a slog of senseless violence and did nothing for the characters. When Lagertha dies it was so lame.
Vikings Valhalla is also very so so..
This is one seriously disturbing story that really happened.
There's still 2 more episodes to go as they haven't yet been posted.

Currently binging the HBO original series The White Lotus. The new season stars F. Murray Abraham, who played the ill-fated Omar in Scarface alongside Al Pacino, and was recently the voice of Khonshu in Moon Knight.
S3 was excellent!

Add me to the Andor fan club. I'm six episodes in and enjoying the heck out of it. FYI, I kept wondering why rebel Vel Sarth looked familiar. Turns out the actress, Faye Marsay, played the waif opposite Arya in GOT. 
Watching Andor as well, 9 episodes in (all released so far). But I find it incredibly boring. Tales of a Jedi was a joy to watch, but Andor just doesn't cut it for me. It's super, super slow and could really be anything in the sci-fi world, not necessarily Star Wars. Thinking they planned this for 15 seasons is shocking. That didn't work out too well as it seems, so they cancelled it. We'll get season 2 likely in 2024 and then it's done. I will of course watch it, but I really hope they'll pick up the pace.
I'm enjoying it too. When the original film came out way back it felt that Luke and the gang (even the baddies) were just bit players in a great drama, most of which was happening off stage in a much bigger Empire than we could ever see in the film (which as a kid gave you space for your imagination to run). After the Empire strikes Back and as more films came out and the characters became more central and action 'super hero' that reduced and to my mind lost that imaginative space - if that makes sense? Anyway, I thought Andor and actually Rogue One sort of caught that back a bit - but I am a bit surprised as to just how little Star Wars stuff they scattered over Andor. (A few more androids and space scenes wouldn't go amiss...)Add me to the Andor fan club. I'm six episodes in and enjoying the heck out of it.

It is a very good series. The writing, casting, and performances are all fantastic, with the usual high standards for production design seen in the SW universe.
But it appeals to a more mature audience, and not those looking for spaces battles, creatures, and the like.
It is a work that can stand on its own outside of being SW, but the fact that it is part of that universe is the cherry on top.
It's almost everything Lucas set out to do in the prequels, painting the picture of the universe, the brewing conflict, the origins of the characters, and setting the scene for the original trilogy, but failed miserably to do, with shallow writing, frivolous characters, and poor performances.
Compared to something like Boba Fett, where we basically learned little about a character that was never all that interesting to begin with, with Andor, it paints a vivid picture of what the Empire is, its power and breadth, and why it's truly evil, way beyond being Bad Guys with Better Weapons and Menacing Costumes. It's brutal without simply showing or explaining the macro extinction of a planet or species, and illustrates that it can be far more cruel to allow something to live, and not simply kill it.
And not just pertaining to a select group of characters, but to the people, and universe as a whole, from the lowliest guard to the mid-level managers, and in the streets and trenches, not the generals who command from their ivory towers. More real, and meanacing without ever seeing a Vader, or just hearing a mention of the Emperor.
It's great that Disney has allowed that group of producers, with their track record, to offer their vision of a SW story, and it would be a pity if it wasn't allowed to happen again, because the most of the audience expected more empty calories like they've been fed of late.
Andor doesn't need space battles. It needs to make progress in the storyline. We're 9 episodes in and they could have cut the relevant parts into two, maybe three episodes without missing anything relevant. It's just too slow. In many ways it reminds me of Hannibal, which was just as slow and while parts of it were exciting, most was a boring mess. That's why it got cancelled, that's why Andor got axed already as well. On a side note, Westworld had the same problem... also cancelled.
We had more and better "evil empire" episodes in Clone Wars and Rebels. And while most/all movies from Disney were bad so far, Rogue One was probably the best and that includes the lousy sequel trilogy. I just hope Disney won't have funny ideas and green light another season of the Obi-Wan mess. I'd welcome more animated series as that's what they seem to get right.
