I just wrapped up The Bear and absolutely loved it. The mix of high-stress kitchen scenes with sharp humor was so gripping.

This has to be one of my favorite shows on TV right now... To me it is that good. The christmas dinner scene is some of the most intense tv scene or movie scene for that matter. Absolutely loved it. Love all the characters and love seeing how each one grows....... or doesn't!

Still binging JAG on the new Prime remaster. Mid way through S8. I knew I loved this show but I forgot how much!! Already getting a little sad that the end draws near!!!

Just started Severance. I've been interested since I first heard about it, but it took a friend urging me to see it to finally subscribe (temporarily) to Apple TV+ and give it a watch. I'm totally into it after just the pilot. It feels like a Black Mirror episode expanded into an entire show. Looking forward to the new season. :)

Very sad watching the last ever show these three will make together, they have entertained me for 22 years of my life, I know people have ‘opinions’ on them but I’ve loved them and the entertainment. Gave me many a laugh.

Just finished The Wire which must be one of the best shows ever in every way. Have now started The Perfect Couple and the first episode was not great but is reminiscent of Little Big Lies and may get better. Also, we are just about to finish watching Colin From Accounts…recommended.

I finished The Perfect Couple. I was only interested because there was the actor of Ray Donovan. There is one good joke only at the end…but the end is very bad. It feels too incoherent. They spent so much time on each potential suspect, except the last one who totally missed some proper character development.

A waste of time, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Bad Monkey.
First 4 episodes were great but it’s starting to pad its length.

Lot of fun though.
Just finished ep 7 I really hope they wrap it up in ep 8.

There are several of these novels so I think they could make each season based on a single novel.

Let's hope they do.

It looked awful to me from the trailer I've seen.

I can finally say I will be able to watch Season 4 of For All Mankind in the next few days. I'm actually having a more negative reaction to the show than my first time. I think it's a show confused on what it really wants to be, even though there are times where it is pretty good.

As it gets closer to current times, it just loses some of it magic.

I finished The Perfect Couple.

Not a particularly outstanding release but I liked it. So many threads and relationships to figure out kept it interesting. You are convinced that you know who did the deed and who this person is and then everything changes.

I would recommend it for those who like dealing with ambiguity and hidden agendas and relationships.

I can only say stay away from "The Leftovers", I'm still under the impression and disappointment. I've lost so much time waiting for something to happen. Oh well, I'll just hop on one of your suggestions and hope for the best.

Half way through S9 of the remastered JAG on Prime. I had forgotten how much I love this show!! Now I'm getting sad because there's only one season left. So attached to these characters it's amazing!!! Each episode is like an emotional roller coaster experiencing almost every emotion I have in every episode. The way they use that theme music is masterful!!!

Started watching this show called Stath Lets Flats. It has hit my funny bone for sure. Super dumb main character, great intro song/video. Super simple and basic, but funny none the less.

Watching old TV shows (from purchased disks) of the late John Barry Humphries aka Dame Edna Everage. Humor is subjective but I know of no other clean comedy performer who has such a fast and creative wit. Some variability in the shows depending on the guest. Best shows have a dizzying back and forth of comedic lines between Dame Edna and her guests, others not so much.

As an Australian, I can safely say you have not watched nearly enough Barry Humphries...
