They keep advertising it but I've not seen it as yet. Worth watching then?
Very much so... Episode four aired this past weekend. We are on episode three and man, the "errors" that were made. Just WOW...

I agree, it only gets more depressing as the show goes on and from what I am reading they had to tone it down when it comes to certain areas and aspects of the show.
Cannot really say binging as I watch each episode as they come out, but "Chernobyl" on HBO is truly AMAZING. Highly recommend it!!!
From episode clips and reviews, HBO's Chernobyl series hardly seems like something one could even tolerate binge-watching. I do really want to watch this series sometime... but definitely one episode at a time and probably not even weekly in the manner the episodes have been released.
Stargate: Atlantis - just finished season 4 last night. Final season next and I'm sad about it ending. I didn't get to see this series when I was working but have thoroughly enjoyed every second of it!!!
Well, I get all of my content either from iTunes, subscribing to streaming services or by visiting a store (I know, this one's not that popular nowadays, but I enjoy it) that sells stuff, among others TV shows and films. And get this, barely any (irrelevant or annoying) ads in any of them! Sure I have to pay for stuff, but hey, that's only fair, right? In the end it's someone else making sure I'm entertained, no reason they shouldn't be compensated for their troubles.
In even more other news, I can't wait to watch Chernobyl. Now that GOT is over, it might be time to subscribe to HBO for a month again.

Watched the first episode of Good Omens on Prime last night. It was amazing! I cannot wait to continue the rest!
Pretty good - well, actually, amazing in the way that they've put the book on the screen without substantial messing about. Any quibble seems petty c.f. the hatchet job that often results when a beloved book is put on to the screen.
Trouble is, I've read the book so many times that of course the jokes aren't so funny the Nth time round.
...they even managed to license the soundtrack from Queen (is Bryan May a fan, perhaps?) but then left out the explanation as to why...
it is a fun little show. The last season that just aired on Netflix is a little different, but still fun.
The first episode or two of this show as out there for me. We finished it all in one day, we were recovering from a rather long weekend of "staying" out really late and partaking in the adult beverages type of day. There was one thing, which after you are done we can discuss. Overall though, we enjoyed the show! There were a few scenes I was laughing my butt off at.
Hunter x Hunter, the 2011 version. So far an average anime series geared towards yearly teen boys. Since I'm a hardcore Otaku, I watch any anime regardless of genre or target audience.
I'm reached the Chimera Ant arc. It started out pretty good, but once I reached the Royal Guard vs Hunters portion, it's been dragging on for 30 episodes so far. And only 2 of the Royal Guards have done any fighting. Fans of DBZ (Drag On Balls Z) knows the feeling.
Gonna watch One Punch Man after this for a fast paced show.

I can't wait to see the planned Russian version. I love Sci-Fi.

As I saw in a Neil Gaiman tweet about Queen, the explanation is in the book. Why it was left out of the movie? Who knows.
Wife and I just finished the second episode of Chernobyl. Both of us are really enjoying it. I think it's only 5 episodes, so likely will resume Westworld when we're done.
yas!! when I saw the notification for a post here, I was pretty sure it would be about this series!
I didn't really care for this season on Netflix. Thought the first two seasons were better.
