Watched S1 of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Found this on Netflix on a wet day, quite enjoyed it!

Dr Death - Christian Slater, Alec Baldwin, Joshua Jackson, Kelsey Grammer
Good series, thought Jackson was superb as the narcissistic Duntsch, Slater was excellent too as the pushy Dr. Kirby.
American legal/medical system is messed up, all about the money!

The Twilight Zone 1959 138 Black Leather Jackets
Three strangers arrive in a small town, three men in black leather jackets in an empty rented house. We'll call them Steve and Scott and Fred, but their names are not important; their mission is, as three men on motorcycles

The Secret
Based on a true story with James Nesbitt, who plays his role superbly, as a batishit man with absolute faith that everything he does is part of Gods plan.
A couple of avid church goers in Ireland start having an affair, get caught, stop, start again and then devise a plan (a shit one I might add) to get rid of thier respective spouses.
Sounds good most stuff he is in is normally very watchable

Glitch is pretty intriguing so far and happily enough it is a show that both the other half and I enjoy which has been a struggle of late.
Anyone else seen it ? Intriguing premise ( basically dead folk coming back to life ). As she has pointed out the first series won a bunch of awards but the second and third didn’t so it might turn to shit as so many TV shows do.
Hmmm... Top Review on IMDB starts with:
Season 1 was great. Season 2 was good. But Season 3 was beyond awful.
And ends with:
...watching Season 3 to its conclusion, left me angry in the end, making me with [sic] I hadn't watched it at all.
So... a qaundary... watch a couple of seasons, and leave it halfway through? Or watch it all for the sake of completeness? Or just ignore it, and admit I've already got 30 seasons of unwatched TV Serieseses downloaded, and that'll just have to do for a while.
Astoundingly accurate. Season three is confusing, far fetched to the point of fucken stupid and it’s making me furious watching it so I’m pulling the pin about half way through. Fuck that stupid show for wasting my time like it has.

Finished watching S3 of Yellowstone which ended with a bang. I like some characters more than others but this is good quality drama written by Taylor Sheridan.
It's brilliant. I binged all 3 series in quick time and have been hanging out for S4.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Saw this on Amazon Prime Video ages ago and bookmarked it. Have been watching it in bits and pieces - a little odd at 7 episodes long, I might add.
Deals mainly with an alternate England around the time of the Napoleonic Wars, specifically the resurrection of English Magic by the two main characters. Really it is more about the relationship and conflict between the two, with the side stories being politics and society of the time.
I found it enjoyable, and apparently the novel it is based on is getting sequels after 15 years or so, so maybe there are more series in future. However, it is fine to finish where it did.

Probably late to the party but my wife recently updated her work iPhone and with it came 1 year free access to Apple TV+.
First show we started to watch and were hooked from episode 1 and somehow even with the Olympics on, we just binged over about 3 days is "The Morning Show/Morning Wars".
Damn good series and I now see that series 2 starts 17 September, cannot wait. Such a well written show, very well acted and very topical.
Looking to watch Mosquito Coast next. Any comments and feedback on whether it is worth watching or not?

For all Mankind is better. Put that one in your list. As mentioned Ted Lasso is also a must.
Your Mrs might think the premise isn’t her thing but she’ll love it. -

@nepia I watched S1 of Dark, really enjoyed it, but havent started S2.

It's the first show I've binged in a long time - I usually limit myself to one episode of a particular show I'm watching a night, I've been watching two and three of Dark.

Finally finished Dark.
Excellent series if somewhat confusing. Not helped by disjointed viewing.
Subtitles aside, it is a very good series. Best binged IMO.

After the first episode I decided that all Germans that weren't Hitler looked the same. Then I watched episode two and it got worse.
It's a show that needs one of those character pages like some novels have with all the linkages.
I have three episodes to go, I'm likely going to knock of work early commute from my table to the couch and watch an episode before dinner and then finish the series after dinner.
