The first 15 minutes or so of the first episode were so incredibly stressful to watch that I didn't think I would even finish the first episode. But I'm so glad I did because as you said, it's such a great show.My wife and I just finished watching The Bear. Sooooo good. Of course now we're itching to treat ourselves to a little fine dining in NYC.

Started watching Tracker. Wasn't hopeful, as I thought it might be Reacher Lite, but it is surprisingly good. No language, not much violence (a shot in an arm, some short episodes of fisticuffs, etc), and some interesting story lines.
Better than I thought it would be.

Just watched a few shows:
The Octopus Murders - Netflix... wow. I have no doubt that there is more truth to this one than not. Makes you think!
The Woman in The House Across The Street From The Girl in The Window - Didn't see that coming!
Shogun - First two episodes... WOW!!!

It is very intriguing ...
That was a pretty good show!
I just started Shogun yesterday and WOW is the correct reaction! It's so well done and the production value is high. Really looking forward to watching the season unfold.
The production value has been through the roof!!! It is done so freaking well. Blows my mind that this is a TV Show... Reminds me of GOT when it comes to the production value!!
Agreed. It's good mindless entertainment without all the cliché material.
Can't wait for season two!!! I will be re-upping my HBO account just for this show. I will also binge season four of True Detectives also!
I (we) just completed much-enjoyed viewings of all 10 Series (79 episodes) of 'Doc Martin - The Complete Series' -- a British, light drama/comedy, quite recently released by Acorn TV, via a dvd box set collection. Yeah, a great opportunity to view the entire tv series.
And Acorn TV did such a great job in making it all come together -- with the presentations, and packaging. And all discs played without a singe 'technical blip'.
A wonderful British tv series .... and thanks to Acorn TV for their fine, box set.

Last week I started a rewatch of Stargate SG-1. I'm almost done with Season 1.
The Blacklist: season 1 finished, two episodes into season 2.
Never seen it.... I really like James Spader though... "Robert California" is one of my favorite characters from The Office...
It's good for a syndicated villain of the week and global arc type series, I really like James Spader's acting starting from the mid eighties, loved him in Stargate the movie, The Practise and Boston Legal and he's just "James Spader" in this series.
Current, as of the seventh episode.
It’s the kind of series I would want to watch all at once, in sequence, as there’s enough non-linear plot interweaving to warrant a weekend, rainy day viewing.
It you didn’t follow after the first handful of episodes, I can assure you this isn’t a soap opera. Its closest-themed analogues are the short-lived series, Awake, and Fringe. It’s an overarching theme I enjoy, one I would love to see even more thoughtful ways of possible implications (if there lends future evidence-oriented credence supporting firm grounding for the quantum theory hypothesis).
I’d also like to think this particular cast, all of whom have some serious roles behind them, would not have signed off to be in a disposable series. Of course, if money is what they want from their career, then that’s what they’ll receive. </dramatic_stern_leia_voice>
I could, were I showrunning, foresee how this plot could unfold beyond a single season — and not appear as if there’s a bankruptcy of creative imagination beyond a first chapter/book. Those subsequent seasons, as I could imagine them, might take on a different tempo and carry additional urgency over this one, making each season almost like their own, discrete books comprising either a dilogy or a trilogy.

Struck by covid so I've been watching a lot of Burn Notice. I'd been slowly going through it prior but binged it the past 3 days and really shocked at the massive change in the direction of the show in S5. S1~4 was a lot of fun, but from S5 it turns way too dramatic and they
and change the show significantly. It's become overwrought melodrama and I think I'm going to stop watching. First 4 seasons were a lot of fun though!
kill the lead's brother for no reason other than to give him the next thing to hunt down
