We've just binge-watched Sharp Objects over the last 2 days. Honestly one of the best shows I've seen recently, I didn't think it would be possible to do the entire thing over 8 episodes but they managed it. My partner has read the book and she thought they did a cracking job at it too.

Absolutely fantastic show and needs to be watched more. So glad there's likely to be a season 3. There's a film he did before Mr Inbetween with the same character called The Magician but have not been able to find it yet. Brutal and funny show.

Just firing up the fifth episode of Wellington Paranormal, which I gave a go due to being a big fan of What we do in the Shadows.
It's not on the same level as either the film or series of WWDITS, but it still has its moments and I do like the dry low-key Kiwi humour.

Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing. And will be giving 'I'll be Gone in the Dark' a watch later.

Finished S2 of Yellowstone... myself, I would probably only give it 5/10, for the reasons I posted earlier, but also I think it's because most of the characters simply aren't likeable aside maybe Jimmy and perhaps Rip, but even then he's a bit weird. I will probably watch through S3 when it's finished, but maybe not.
On a plus side, I have started a second watch through of Justified. 1 ep in and already it's just fantastic TV

@AndyCr15 lol, ok, maybe you do watch a lot 
On Yellowstone episode 7 of season 1 and loving it, i've openly admitted to having a bias towards Sheridans work on these forums though, I wear that on my sleeve. He ticks all the boxes I like to see in a show/movie. I'll read your spoilered comments when I finish at the weekend as i'm taking my time. I do that with shows I really like though, stretch them out, for me it's generally a sign i'm not too invested in the show if I binge in short order.
Binging TV for me is akin to fast food, you eat it without consideration to what you're really taking in and digesting...a good meal you take your time over and savour, same with a good show. All that said, it's just personal preference and we all like our own pace.
2 episodes left of S1 on Justified on a rewatch with the wife, just as good as I remember if a little shallower than I originally thought. Can't wait to rewatch S2 though, in my top seasons of any show.
We're also ploughing through Killing Eve and it dismays me it isn't mentioned more around here.

Almost finished Brave New World (after giving up on Cursed).
Not perfect, but also not bad, kind of a mix of Gattaca/Idiocracy/Caligula.

Bosch season 1 - Really good so far.
I know I'm late to the party on this but just started The Fall, now on Netflix. Only 3 episodes in but definitely hooked on it. I find it very intriguing and it keeps my attention for the full hour.
Usually with some shows I start to get bored and look at my phone but with this the time goes quickly
Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it before

Watching Diablero. It's a Mexican show, set in Mexico City, about a demon hunter and a priest tracking down a girl who'd been snatched by a demon.
Irritates me that Netflix always defaults to dubbed English on foreign stuff but after switching to original audio with subtitles, I've enjoyed it quite a bit.
It's not amazing, but it is fun.
I enjoyed it a lot, whilst recognising that it's probably not for everyone (weird as ****

Unfortunately, it's completely dead. They'd held out hope for it getting picked up by Netflix (it's a Sci-Fi show iirc), but no luck.

The Fall is great and again showcases what a fantastic versatile actress Gillian Anderson is.
I never finished it though, they took ages to release season 3 and by the time it was all available to watch, I'd heard many unfavorable things.
I really should finish now it's all on Netflix, however as its been 6 years since I watched season 2, might be a good excuse for a rewatch.
Finished Yellowstone season 1 last night and share one of the main grumbles with @AndyCr15 , seems like every episode, without fail, something major happens, there is little downtime before the next problem to solve.
That said, the acting is excellent throughout, I find the story compelling and the cinematography is hard to beat as far as TV shows go.
I watched Wind River again at the weekend and i've spotted 9 people from that in Yellowstone S1, I guess Sheridan enjoyed working with them

Finished True Detective S1. Up there with the best in terms of individual seasons. I've been told not to bother with S2 and S3.
S2 isn't that bad apart from awful casting of Vince Vaughn...season 1 just sets an impossibly high bar to follow. As you say, one of the best individual seasons of any show.
I've heard S3 is almost back to S1 quality but haven't seen it yet.
Caporegime
Yeah, the S2 cast doesn't exactly draw me in.
I've had a look at the cast for S3 and I'll give it a go. Mahershala Ali was phenomenal in Green Book so that's a good start along with Scoot McNairy from Narcos Mexico.
Soldato
I really enjoyed S3 and Mahershala Ali was brilliant.
