Just finished 'Lucky' on Apple. Good, no frills crime drama with great acting and lots of thrills. I like that the heroine isn't an asskicking superwoman. She's a smart con artist who uses brains and nerve.

Older.

Legion. The best Marvel show, bar none. This clip isn't even the best part.

Black Sails. Sex, violence, sex, betrayals, sex, sea battles, sex, sword fights.

TURN, George Washington's Spies. Treats George as a slave owner and gives Benedict Arnold's side of the story.

Old as dirt.

The Prisoner. The show that gets referenced all the time but you've never watched it? Watch it. All episodes free on Youtube

Reilly, Ace of Spies. Sam Neill as the real life guy who inspired James Bond.

I just watched Bait with Riz Ahmed. I liked the way he talked about working with Amazon:

Obviously 🏴‍☠️

Recenty found a show called "Cheap Irish Houses" its pretty fun. Very eye opening and makes me wish I could take advantage of some of the offeres.

Frieren. It's absolutely stunningly beautiful both visually, musically and story wise. I was tempted to write "storically" as a joke.

Strange New Worlds: The noir episode was pretty good Trek, but the setting was a gimmick that brought nothing extra. Fine as long as the script is decent, and this one was, but they're not a fun little bonus anymore, just kind of tiring.

Ted Lasso: Should have left well enough alone. The conceit of s3 is fine, but so far the execution has been lacking, full of flanderized hijinks and distracting levels of fan service that seem done mostly to remind us that this used to be a better show. Each episode is slightly better than the one before, but we're starting from a very clunky and underwhelming place.

Ninth Jedi: I'm just over halfway through. Pretty good, a more "meat and potatoes" reworking of Star Wars themes than I expected, but the style holds up and I'm curious to see how they tie it all together.

Old show, but I started watching Dead Like Me. It's one of the few Bryan Fuller shows I have yet to try, and damn it already hooked me in from episode 1.

I don't know if I can recommend it yet, since I hear Fuller left the show before season 2 (classic), but I definitely want to see it through to the end.

Taskmaster, both the UK and NZ versions; super excited for next season of UK

My sister and I have been watching Stewart Fails to Save the Universe as it airs.

This is the gnarliest spin-off series I have ever seen. They killed Raj!

That apple show Sugar is starting to get interesting 4 episodes in.

Finished season 2 of Monarch and it was pretty boring. Best parts of it are when they force Kurt Russell to talk seriously about "Godzilla". For some reason that's just really funny.

Will probably get high and drunk tomorrow and re-watch that 2 hour compilation of Astronaut deaths from For All Mankind again.

Watching Ride or Die. It's pretty fun, but feels like the kind of show that only works for one season.

• New Zealand Spy

GLOW s01-s03 about female wrestling in the 80s, it is great, based on a true story

I'm watching Star Trek Strange New Worlds. It is the first ST show that I got into. I liked The Orville and this one feels similar. I didn't like the first episode though.

I watched Shoresy recently, and it was one of my favourite new finds.

I am also enjoying Batman Caped Crusader and Widows Bay. I just started Stirling Lake, but it is too early to say if I will like it.

I got curious about The Punisher and why many chuds around here have stickers on their rusted, lifted trucks right next to a blue lives matter flag, so I watched the first season knowing nothing about it.

The show was aggressively average and the chuds don’t seem to understand the character if they think he’s pro law enforcement. Then again, these are the kind of people who rooted for Homelander.
