We went back and rewatched the first episode of "Sherlock", the BBC series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. I think we may work back through that series again, at least for a while.

Queen's Gambit was excellent.

I am liking it better than the last season.

Just noticed that Forged in Fire is on Netflix. Not huge on most reality shows but I've always found this show to be strangely binge-worthy! As bad a man as Doug Marcaida is, though...he is a bit creepy w/ his signature line. lol

Interesting that the latest Mandalorian was kind of a Star Wars/battlestar Galactica/Bosch crossover

I just rewatched "The Expanse" S1-4 in anticipation of season 5 coming in December. Some of the best TV I've seen in a long time. Strongly recommended.

Currently watching through the old Full Metal Alchemist anime series, and it's actually been pretty good so far. It's very engaging and the story is pretty solid. Does have some gore though, so something to watch out for if you're not into that.

Watched episode 4 of Undoing last night. So far we’re enjoying it and it’s getting interesting. My wife hasn’t fallen asleep once which is hIgh praise.

Only 6 episodes I think, wait for the finale to start binging.

Right there with you. It’s in our top spot now. I think it can go in a few different directions next, so definitely keeping it interesting.

That’s what we should have done. Now we’re stuck waiting a week. A week between episodes! Who ever heard of such a thing!

agreed! great story so far and tremendous acting. we started expecting the twists about halfway through episode 2...but i'm guessing they've got more in the queue!

Getting a bit to formulatic for me. Sticking with it for now, who doesn't wanna watch Nicole Kidman for an hour on the TV? Though her plastic surgery could've been better.

She's not too hard to look at, neither is Matilda De Angelis....

I didn't want to spoil any surprises for those who are waiting to binge it.

I definitely think this is a series that is better to binge that watch weekly. The plot just doesn't feel like its progressing as fast as I would like, and some of the surprises aren't very surprising. Still good, but not David E. Kelley's best work I must say, but as always Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant are excellent, and Donald Sutherland's acting never ceases to amaze me, his speech to the principal was simply excellent.

The Crown Season Four looks to be out, and has been getting great reviews, especially Emma Corrin's portrayal of Princess Diana. Definitely gonna have to start the series this weekend, I have a lot of catching up.
