In no particular order.

Legion. Best Marvel show you never heard of. Featuring Aubrey Plaza as a mind controlling demoness.

TURN - George Washington's Spies. Smart scripts, great acting, and the best villain ever.

Monarch. Chasing giant monsters around the world? What's not to love.

The Venture Bros. Johnny Quest is a meth head. The Scooby Gang are a cult. The GI Joe team is really the Village People. Better than Bojack Horseman and Rick And Morty combined.

    Legion was very good. It was a very cerebral series that wasn't afraid to go really out there.

    On the DC side, Doom Patrol felt similar at times, though I think it missed the landing a bit more often.

    Poker Face, Natasha Lyonne and Rian Johnson

    The best modern day Columbo show. You see who kills who first and then we get to see the crime being solved. Amazing stuff. Mostly fully episodic, S1 has an overarching arc, but it’s mostly just a way to keep the plot moving.

    Just finished season 4 of Reacher, and season 3 of Silo, both incredible. Finishing up the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, also great, one of the best Star Trek series.

    The best thing I saw this summer was Widows Bay, which won all the Emmys.

    At some point, I realized that I was watching 3 series about people living underground after some conflagration on the surface, and wondering about finally going outside again - Silo, Fallout, Paradise. All three were terrific, but apparently I have a type, when it comes to sci-fi.

    Elder mellinial here. A lot of the apple content is good (slow horses, silo, trying, etc), monsters of god on hbo is good. Small Prophets from the uk is weird and good. Upright, deadloch, population 11 from australia.

    You just looking for quality content, or you got a type of stuff?

    Kingdom, which is a Korean drama set in the Joseon era. The king has fallen mysteriously ill, the chief counsellor is plotting, and the illness spreads to a nearby village, resulting in almost everyone dying. One of the 2 survivors claims the bodies must be burned before sundown, or else they will wake as monsters and attack.

    I'm not even half way through, and definitely recommend it!

    I did not expect to like this show, but I've been having a hard time finding any anime I've felt like watching these last few seasons, I gave it a go. Absolutely love this show! Most of it is very crass, but there are a few heartwarming moments, and the characters feel much more developed than I expected. I don't think I've watched the 2 most recent ones, but each episode has been great, but the tobacco farm was my favorite so far, though the Groundhog Day meets Final Destination style mochi pounding episode was pretty outstanding too.

    I also checked out our other nicotine themed show of the season, Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, and that show is cute and funny, even though in some ways stupider in plot the Chainsmoker Cat, IMO.

    I'm surprised to see two smoking anime, as I always recall the Gintama smoking lollipop gag and them saying smoking in anime was really frowned upon. I personally find smoking pretty gross, but both these shows get a thumbs up from me!

    I'm watching Snowfall which is ok but not life changing. I'm also watching King of the Hill which I've never really watched before and really like

    Widow's Bay was pretty fun, and felt it had a decent wrap-up if a first season.

    I just did my first skimming of Toast of London - something for anyone who is familiar with the name Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows, The Mighty Boosh, The IT Crowd).

    Welfare Warriors (2021) - Finnish miniseries, I love comedies with important social commentary so I'm really glad I watched this Veronika (2023) - I'm about halfway through season 1, I'm very intrigued by the crime aspect and the main character Anne+ aka Anne Plus (2018) - I'm almost done with season 1, I'm really liking it
