is Mr Robot on a new season?

Indeed it is, and it's the last season of the show to boot.

Can't wait to binge that one. Or maybe the whole show while I'm at it.

But currently I'm binging on Breaking Bad. It all started with me just checking whether or not my memory of not really liking the first episode when it aired still held true, and it turns out it did not. Or maybe I didn't think that highly of it at the time, but now it worked much better. Anyway, midway through the last season currently, already sad it's going to end soon. Will have to rewatch El Camino straight after.

The new season of Better Call Saul can't come soon enough.

I'm binging the American version of Shameless... it's surprisingly great, I think that's because it's written/produced by the same dude who did the original? I can't wait for series 10!!

My wife and I just started to watch season 2 of Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime. Sadly it is only 8 episodes.

I’ve enjoyed both seasons so far, and I can’t wait for Season 3. I wonder how much they’ll follow the established series (by bringing back Cathy).

Continuing the CIA spy genre, I’ve restarted watching Covert Affairs again.

I liked Covert Affairs. Not quite as good as Alias though.

The two shows I’m “binging” that are still airing new episodes are, Superstore and Emergence. And a couple shows I could easily just watch multiple episodes of are, Shark Tank and How It’s Made.

The format is bit like Bosch (1 story per season) and you just can't stretch that out much more before it turns into a telenovela....

Season 2 was o.k., just far to many plotholes and far to much US-flag wawing.

finished up on "Carnival Row"
Visually Carnival Row was great. it was so so in that difficult to appreciate the stereotype storyline and characters.

24 is perhaps one of my favorite TV series ever, but it definitely suffered from stretching out too many episodes. I understand that the whole point was the "real time" aspect, but there was always some sub-plot that felt like it was there just to fill time.

Which reminds me of the old joke that if people would have done what Jack Bauer said, it would have been called 12.

It's also one of the things I didn't care for about season 1 of Jack Ryan:
How many layers involved in the evil plot: Steal Ebola to pass on to the president to get him into the hospital where they could enact their *real* plan of giving him radiation poisoning...

When I reply I can read the spoiler I didn’t open? How weird?

Anyway agree 24 was good but they were a few episodes too long.

I want to watch the Apple TV Emily Dickinson shows, so far haven't made time to do it. I don't want to binge watch them though, just one a week or something, I hope. Unlike some of their shows, I think all of the Dickinson season has been released.

If streaming included.. "South park" All seasons from their website.

It's like I found my own little gold mine.
