Severance, my mother is visiting and she had only seen the first episode so there was a binge to get her all caught up!
Other than that, Elsbeth as a comfy show, plus I started Common Side Effects too, and also a Hulu show called Paradise which I am still making my mind up about.
Severance - Better than I feared for S2. Very good, in fact. I like a status quo upset, and hope it’s aiming to finish on a high and end with this series.
Amandaland - Not quite peak-Motherland level, but it hits the same itch and has good moments. I like at least two of the new parents (Mal and the chef) and Joanne Lumley is amazing, if less caustic than she is at her best. Decent brainless fun.
SAS Rogue Heroes season 2 is not as great as the first season, but it continues the same mold. During WW2 the SAS special forces unit is formed by misfits and extreme characters, who then conduct missions nobody else can. The soundtrack is lots of British punk, ska punk, and similar stuff. If you think watching borderline lunatic warrior poets kill Nazis, if they’re not busy fighting amongst themselves, sounds like fun, give it a try. The testosterone overdose is offset by officers navigating the political structures, a french female spy, and a British crossdressing intelligence operative. Season 1 takes place in Northern Africa in the desert, season 2 in Italy.
Murdoch Mysteries, Person of Interest, Lost, Drew Carey Show, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Eric Andre Show.
The X-Files from season 1.
Was a kid when it came out. Loving it as an adult.
I forgot about the X-Files!
What We Do in the Shadows - first two episodes. Felt like the first ep was a dull take on the film, but the second ep got some good laughs out of me.
Star Trek: Enterprise - I’m nearly done now, nearing the end of the last season. This is the first time I’ve committed to watching a full show of Trek rather than just dipping in and out, catching odd episodes. I’ve really, really enjoyed it and excited to move onto the next show. I’m following this guide and watching every series in chronological order.
How often do you break into singing Faith of the Heart throughout the day?
God I hated it so much at first, but… It’s been a looong road
Oh man wwdits just gets better and better imo.
It’s crepe paper, master 👀
My favorite episode always I think is episode 3 season 1!!
Man on the Inside, based on one of the recommendations here. Very short and quaint show. I’m looking forward to a second season.
And I recently got back into Taskmaster. I loves me a funny out-of-the-box challenge show!
We have been watching Killing Eve. It’s a pretty fun show that doesn’t require too much brain while not being stupid like from.
Just don’t watch the last season
Im already feeling decline on s3.
Watched 2 episodes of Common Side Effects, a show by one of the people behind Scavengers Reign, and really liked it. Will wait for the whole season to finish so I can binge it all.
A show about magic mushrooms saving the world sounds like a fun trip. The big pharma conspiracy on top is exactly the story a wook hippie you meet a psytrance rave would tell you.

Grace (ITVX) - a police procedural TV series based in Brighton (UK) that originally came out around 4 years ago and completely passed me by. Stars John Simm, who played The Master in Dr Who. Recommended.
Mr Robot - trying to get into this but struggling. Only 3 episodes in.
Everyone says Mr Robot is so good but both my partner and I just couldn’t do it. It’s just… kinda cheesy and dumb to us. We tried for a whole season.
Stranger - Korean police/legal drama. Fun show to watch.
Rewatched some of Sopranos S06
Started Orphan Black. Only watched the first episode but it’s just meh so far.
Give orphan black some time. I don’t remember how much happens in first episode but she (Tatiana Maslany) acting is so good in the show I also found it very unique and loved the show. There is also an audio book series that came out ofter the show that is good (voiced by same cast)
First season of Orphan Black was the best. It gets worse each session. I gave up halfway through the least session.
Eric Andre show lol
The Pitt - It’s like the illegitimate child of ER and 24, it’s great.
Just about to finish Clean Slate starring Laverne Cox, exactly the kind of show I needed in these trying times
Watching the first season of Defiance, liking it so far
