I just finished Cobra Kai and the Crown, liked them both. I've heard good things about a Netflix series called Money Heist, so I might give that a try next.

Just watched The Queen's Gambit on Netflix, very good short series (7 episodes). Not for everyone probably but I really enjoyed it.

I finished the 2nd season of The Boys on Prime earlier this year, personally I thought it was incredible. It's not really heartwarming or feel good but I couldn't stop watching. Even though it seems like another show about superheroes, it's really not. It's probably not a perfect comparison but I thought it was a weird cross of the Avengers and Game of Thrones. GoT because I'm not sure I've seen a show shock me more than this one since GoT. Thought it was very entertaining.

Those are the two that come to mind right now. I watched a short animated series on Netflix called Blood of Zeus I think? It was okay. Good animation. Was kind of a good time to watch it with having played Hades so much lately. The Castlevania series on Netflix is really good too, although I didn't like the 2nd season quite as much as the 1st.

The Last Kingdom on Netflix doesn't get as much love that I think it should. It starts off a bit slow for the first 3 episodes but after that it is hard not to binge.

I enjoyed The Last Kingdom as well. On par with the Vikings series. The Tudors (about Henry VIII) was also sneaky good.

Yep. The main character is "Uhtred, son of Uhtred".

The OA (Netflix) is good, if you like Stranger Things. Very weird premise but kept me intrigued for both seasons.
Salt Fat Acid Heat (Netflix) is really interesting if you're wanting to learn more about cooking (4 45min episodes).
The Mando (Disney+) is out again, if anyone didn't know. This season is far better than the last IMHO
His Dark Materials (HBO) is a good adaptation of the novels.
The IT Crowd (Netflix) is hilarious if you enjoy British Comedy.

The Kaminsky Method. One of those shows that is underwhelming in trailers, but way outperforms them. I've never been the biggest Michael Douglas fan, but this is the best thing he has done, and Allan Arkin in fantastic. Danny Devito cameos as a proctologist.

 

[HotDish]

Yep. The main character is "Uhtred, son of Uhtred".

every f'ing recap. "my name is uhtred, son of uhtred"

I'm 3 seasons in, I know!

Lillehammer is really good. New Jersey gangster meets politically correct small town Norway, with results that are usually hilarious, and occasionally violent. Music is great.

 

[GordieGallant]

Fauda on Netflix is very good. Story of a squad of Israeli operatives tracking Palestinian terrorists.

 

[HotDish]

Fleabag on Prime is a good watch if you have a wife or girlfriend. Not saying you can't watch it by yourself or with the guys, but it is a good comedy that girls can appreciate too.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Leftovers (HBO) and Patriot (Prime) would be my recommendations for "hidden gems". Both are a bit unusual and it's difficult to explain their appeal, but they're among my all-time favorites.

Hope everyone has caught up with Letterkenny if you like hockey, drinking and fun.

Hulu

Sometimes I have an urge to lock myself in a room with tons of snacks, and watch alternating episodes of Letterkenny, Game of Thrones, Person of Interest, and The Wire. Just an urge, mind you. I have wife and kids, and they ain't going for it.

ooooo ill have to check this out

The Expanse, if you haven't watched it.... you need to. Best Sci-Fi running. If you have watched it, probably time to refresh your memory since season 5 is coming next month. Likely to be the best season of the entire series since its based on the best book of the entire series.

I've also been reaquainting myself with Doctor Who.

I haven't had the urge to ever watch Game of thrones again. The last 2 season ruined it for me. I'm not mad at how it ended, I'm mad at how they executed it. I'm not getting into spoilers since there might be a few out there that haven't finished it, but Double D should've really taken HBO's offer of more episodes and even the additional season.

at last I will just wait for the books to finish up (if GRRM doesn't expire) to see it done correctly.
