My life is murder - season 5 was available, I've binged it. Can't wait for season 6!
Marion - I'm watching this because of trains, but I've only liked the 1st episode so far
Saving Hope - almost done with season 2, some questionable decisions at the later half of season but I looked at IMDB and I know that the writers make better choices later so I'm not worried
Deadly Tropics aka Tropiques criminels - still on season 4, such a fun show
Welcome to Wrexham - it's so great
The Family Next Door - I just started, not impressed so far

Just finished 'Widow's Bay.'

10/10. Funny/scary in equal measures, and grounded enough that you actually care about the people.

Classics. Legion is the best Marvel show ever. When Aubrey Plaza playing a dancing demon psychiatrist isn't the best thing on the show, attention must be paid.

Black Sails. Pirates. Sex. Violence. Intrigue. Betrayals. Big battles.

You get the picture.

I finished Widow's Bay yesterday, great show! Totally agree that it feels grounded enough to care. Story was well written and had some great laughs. Totally recommend!

I recently read a discussion about the difference between 'grounded' and 'realistic' because the two are often used interchangeably.

"Realistic" is true to life. You can't stop a tank with a pistol. Horses can't jump across the Grand Canyon.

'Grounded' means that the characters and actions are so well presented that they feel honest, even when they are completely fantastic.

I've been watching Silo, it got me hooked! It's a great suspense SciFi series about people living in a silo. reminds me of Snow piercer.

The books are so much better, though the show is faithful.

The opening dance scenes crack me up no matter how many times I see it, and I see something new every time

Yeah the intro is funny. I like the humor style in the show.

Friends and neighbors.

Twisted metal. This one surprised me and is not what i expected. The high rating and quality didn't seem to match but I kept watching and its not too bad.

The Lazarus Project.. all I knew was that it's sci-fi. I was not prepared. Some episodes are fucking brutal... I find it a bit uneven but I'm pretty sure I'll be sad and miffed it stopped at 2 seasons.

Finally getting to watch The Middle on Netflix and it’s really fun. Brick's personality traits are so funny (personality traits).

I finally watched that Punisher special that came out a couple months ago. Woof. Wish I'd skipped it.

I've been on a big Dune kick recently. I just watched Dune: Prophecy, and I thought it was a good time. Just be prepared for a cliffhanger.

Me too. I think the Villeneuve movies get a bad rap, but I understand why they made the changes they did to the story. I think his version fits how grand Herbert's vision of the books were, and Dune Prophecy does a good job at feeling like a precursor to the Villeneuve movies.

::: spoiler Dune Messiah book spoiler I cannot wait to see how they handle the stone burner scene at the end! :::

That will be interesting to see but I think the ::: spoiler Book Spoiler stone burner :::

is like 60% of the way through the book. Which would make it even more interesting to see how they handle it for the rest of the movie.

From, Clarksons Farm, Ghosts.

Of the three, Clarksons Farm is well done. The other two are like eating Mickey Ds -- not great quality, not good for you, other things that attempt the same are much better, but this is what you're consuming, so whatever, its good enough, I guess.
