So, we finished the first season of Westworld. It was ok, but, I'm not rushing to subscribe to HBO or figure out some other way to watch season 2. My wife liked it more than me.

I liked the first season. However having said that, I am with you with not rushing out for season 2 especially with all of the comments I have read about how polarizing the show has become. I will probably binge it between the new episodes of GOT's when it comes back and I sign back up for HBO.

I never watched suits. My wife got me into it and now we’re both binging on the show on amazon prime. Almost finished season 5.

Great series up to about season six or so. Will be interested to see where it goes after last season. Don't want to spoil it for you hence the vagueness of my response.

Luis is one of our favorite characters.

We finished up "The Expanse" last night. It was so good! So glad it got picked up to continue. This was a quality show.

A sibling is trying to talk me into watching Madam Secretary. I said maybe later.

Meanwhile I'm still trying to talk myself into bothering with the rest of The Americans. Not sure how many episodes I watched in the first season. I heard the third season was especially good so I should suspend a skeptic's eye so far, maybe... and half-watch it while I do some handsewing to keep from getting annoyed if I am not thrilled, or impressed, or whatever.

I dunno. Still rather hit up beach reads during the summer. I get a sort of attention deficit during this time of year. I like to be outside, and I like to do things in my studio or in my kitchen that are sort of half-baked experiments indulged in with abandon and often launched on weekends. Think messes to pick up later when I get to it around Tuesday... or Thursday... clearing the decks for the next round, that was yesterday. Today it's been mischief day all day.

So maybe in the summer I'm a better candidate for checking out movies rather than TV series.

good for you! but the summer movies are so walmart wild west.

Too true, from what one gathers sometimes just glancing at the review headlines for upcoming fare.... but I never made enough time to watch decent movies while I was working. I zoned out sometimes on TV series re-runs to let the too much caffeine dissipate and so be able to get to sleep.

So now when I hit up Netflix or Prime Video, I don't feel the perhaps typical annoyance that "What, they don't even have this yet?!?" -- I'm still working my way through a backlog that is literally decades long. I know I'll never see even all of the films that "everyone" has found worth a watch. But my sister's partner, who has been quite a movie buff all along, dismisses that problem with a wave of hand and "Forget it, the rest of us watched a lot of the bad ones just so you get to skip them" :D

My wife and I just finished the first 3 episodes of The Crown. It is ok, but kinda slow. I'm not sure we'll continue watching.

Finished Luke Cage S2 - loved it! Imho the best with the Punisher series. Not a fan of the Iron Fist dude but that cameo was rather nice and at least there is a nod to Heroes for Hire. Main villain / antagonist was awesome!

I just started watching the four-part Evil Genius on Netflix. It's a true crime story with a lot of creepy people involved. :shudder:

So very crazy, the whole situation. Very entertaining show, though, once you get past the fact that people like that (and much worse) actually exist.
