I recently watched the whole run of 'Schitts Creek' over a couple of weeks, after having only seen bits of it in the past, really enjoyed it & sad it has now finished. Currently watching 'It's a Sin', watching it weekly as it airs though to spread it out, rather than bingeing all the episodes in one go.
Also watching 'WandaVision', very different & clever show. Some people have been raving about that on my FB. |

It is good, not gonna be everyone's cup of tea because of what it's about but it tells an important story that many don't know. Even for me I didn't know just how bad it was in the early 80's & how people were treated when AIDS first came about, even by doctors. |

Nowadays my AIDS is easily managed thanks to the benefits of various medical advances, but before sometime in the 90's it was basically a death sentence. |

I think that's because you have the sheep variant & not the monkey one  |

Z Nation. I'd seen a few episodes before but rediscovered it on Netflix.
Sunderland til I Die. It's just hilarious.

Currently enjoying 'Resident Alien', actually very funny. The premise is an alien who crash landed in Colorado killed a small town doctor & made himself look like him, he taught himself English from watching 'Law & Order' on TV, only one person can actually see him as an alien, a 9 year old boy, & he keeps trying to kill him so his secret doesn't come out.

Finished watching a German Scy Fy called 'Tribes of Europa'. And while it certainly ain't 'Dark', well it does have its moments c/w gratuitous sex and violence. Sorta a post apocalyptic 'Game of Thrones' with society in Europe reverting back to dark ages tribalism a mere 45 years after the collapse of '29....
So all the standard tropes are wheeled out, but I've always had a soft spot for the genera..... and the bad dudes really are bad ass ( mind you the Germans do have form in 'bad ass'..... )
Netflix, well its dubbed in English ( crappy ), better off watching a version in German with subtitles.

Is Vikings worth watching? No, Rita is better. Seriously, I watched Vikings. Good for 1 or 2 seasons, not more. I'd say the first 3. Noticeable dip here in season 4 due to slow pacing, but still worth watching IMO. But I am interested in historical stuff. |

Just finished the latest Ken Burns documentary, 'Hemingway'. Fantastic series delving into the complicated and complex life and loves of Americas greatest writer of the 20th Century, Ernest Hemingway. Highly recommended !

The Office (US)
Watched a couple episodes from the first series way back, but was bored. They didn't get the tone quite right at first. It seems to have gotten into its groove now I'm watching the 2nd season.
