Is the remake Queen of the South? If so I lasted 3 episodes before I couldn't handle any more of the campy over acting. Didn't help I tried to watch on the back of Narcos.

I've never seen the good place but maybe I'll give it a watch once I've got a bit of time.
I was probably being a bit hyperbolic regarding the SJW stuff, it's just a relationship with one of the characters but it's no big deal or anything made out of it, just a natural relationship between two people and it's really nice to see a TV show just have it in without making a big song and dance about it.
You've said it the best to be honest
which is why people shouldn't have an issue with it but I've seen people moan about smaller things so you never know!

The original. I wasn't sure to start with, but I stuck with it and I am enjoying it. I will watch the remake at some point, just to see how they compare.

Its good, it just suffers from the same thing almost all successful shows do these days. A tight 1-2 season idea is stretched out to be 5 seasons or longer and it get more silly and becomes a parody of itself.
Worth a watch though.

I think I thought this in the first ep, but I'm just starting into the second season now and loving David for example. So well acted and just a great character. Some of the others are still a little annoying (such as 'Kevin's Mum'

Nooo! Moira is one of my favourite characters. Her over exaggeration on everything "DAVID!!!" and her funny pronunciation makes me laugh
All the characters grew on me. I didn't like Alexis at first but find her mannerisms super funny
I love/hate Bob with his floppy joints.

Moira is the only character I was never keen on, I always felt like she was just an annoying version of Lucille Bluth. I love the rest of the characters though
Finished Mandalorian season 2 last night and will echo a few other comments that the final episode is truly great, the rest of the series is good, it's not worth the high and lofty pedestal it's been put on though.
Tiresome chases, rapidly multiplying stormtroopers who are easily killed...yes we know they're a bad shot, we don't need a reminder every episode, totally formulaic episode formats.
For the grumbles though, it absolutely captures the spirit of Star Wars and is mostly entertaining, baby Yoda is great in every scene and re-emphasises the use of a puppet over CGI.
So many cameos, my favourite of which was Richard Brake but honourable mentions to Timothy Olyphant, Titus Welliver and Michael Biehn.
Overall, maybe an 8/10 series, great moments across both seasons let down by some poor narrative choices and lazy writing and poor guest directors, Bryce Dallas Howard, i'm looking at you, weakest episodes of both seasons directed by her.

Currently watching Silicon Valley. Seen the first 2 series so far and I'm enjoying it though I have to say I really want to beat up the main character as he is so ******* stupid and annoying.
Erlich? Yeah, he's the weakest point of the show. Otherwise it's probably my favourite comedy of the last 5 or so years.
Soldato
No, I mean Richard Hendricks. I just find his actions frustratingly annoying. He might be a smart coder but he's an idiot.

Schitts Creek is just consistently good, it never makes you ROFL as such but its consistently amusing and just works really well throughout. I dont find it particularly SJW/woke, felt the story just worked with those characters, but then that kind of stuff doesn't really bother me anyway.

Started watching Vikings, finding it abit meh 3 episodes in, does it get any better ?
Soldato
That's where I stopped watching Vikings. People raved about it but after 3 episodes I have never felt the need to return to it.
Soldato
I was loving it at that stage. Thought the skirmish on the beach in ep3 was just awesome.
So if you're not digging it, it might not be for you
