Interesting, I recall the old one with Andy Griffith. Kathy Bates is a terrific actor so maybe I'll give it try.
Hmmm. Good news and bad news (somehow appropriate for this show):
They'll resolve the cliffhanger(s) at the end of season 2, but only with a 90 minute TV Movie, not a full season...
Good Omens will wrap with a single 90-minute episode
Creator Neil Gaiman has exited the series in the wake of sexual assault allegations.

I binge watched The Office - Australian version. What a disaster. Definitely mimicking the American office, just none of the charm or likability of any of the characters. Poorly written and few funny jokes in the entire season. I ended up watching the whole thing just to see how bad it would get, it does not disappoint in that regard.
I did like the British one, and loved the American one, at least till Steve Carrell left the show. It was still funny after he left, but he was the glue that held it all together perfectly in my opinion. Like the UK version, it would not have worked without Gervais.
You might want to try Fisk, or, from 2000, The Games.
Derivative shows (i.e. when they try to port a show to a different country) never do well, such as when the Australian Kath and Kim was ported to the US. Go for the original.
Bob's Burgers for me still lol... quite the rabbit hole...
My wife is hooked on The Closer. It is pretty good.

Have just finished season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer. Out of interest, watched the film version as well, and started to read the book.
Nothing else to watch (except the new Matlock (highly recommended)), so have started again with season 1 of Lincoln Lawyer.
The series is quite different from the film and book, but I think is a much better story.

I’ve been watching Agatha All Along. As a Marvel TV series it just so so. But as mildly amusing, the tiniest bit scary show about witches for Halloween it is very entertaining.
Finally started my Rewatch of Silo to get ready for the new season. This title sequence is still awesome.
I looked up The Games, not sure what came out first but there is a British version that I love called 2012 that was about the organization of the Olympic Games. Also a spinoff called W1A that takes place with the main character from 2012 now working at the BBC. Both supremely funny. Nothing against Australia, but I generally don't find their sense of humour all that funny... now New Zealand is a different story with Flight of the Conchords and What we do in the Shadows. I have only seen the original one, not the newer seasons with different characters.
One of the better scenes in The Games was where they found out that the sprinting track was 94 metres, not 100.
In real life, it turned out that one of the pools that was going to be used in the 2000 Games in Aus. was a tad short of 50 metres...
Don't know about binging, but...

After 6 years I cancelled Netflix last month. I found it getting more and more difficult to find something that appealed to me.

Some good stuff on there...!
The struggle is real with Netflix, spend FOREVER looking for something to watch, to only end up watching something you've watched a bazillion times already...
