Barbarians on Netflix.
It's the German equivalent to Vikings.

Rather enjoying it.
Suggest you keep the German soundtrack and use English subtitles - the English dubbing is not good!

And started Lucifer and Cobra Kai whilst waiting for new episodes from the above.

Like a zombie series by any chance?

Most of the Discovery actors recite lines like Zombies so it seems so

For All Mankind S1 Ep1 so I go a new work iphone and registered for a free 1 year trial of Apple TV. Only just got round to using it and have started with For All Mankind an alternative history sci fi series where the Soviets beat the Yanks to the moon. Only watched one episode but it was really nicely written, acted and produced. I'll definitely be watching more.

Seinfeld on amazon prime
Great show, surprised it didn't do better in the UK. Just as good as Frasier/Friends that are on all the time.

Ted Lasso on Apple TV+...bloody hilarious!

The Queen's Gambit on Netflix.

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, perfectly casti as the lead, fearless and smart. I am only on ep 2 and really enjoying it. Let's hope it keeps it up.

Just finished it, was decent. A bit short though. It's nice to see the Germans not be the bad guys for once.

I certainly do, although the zombie genre has become very over saturated - I'm all zombied out!!

Binge watched all of Z Nation a year or so ago too

We rather enjoyed this. Well worth a watch.

Recently started The Boys and already onto season 2.

It's actually a great spin to your usual superhero films. These guys who are superheros are about as corrupt as you can be, all whilst portraying to be the worlds heroes.

Just about to start season 3 of Halt and Catch Fire. Brilliant TV so far.

Finished the Queen’s Gambit in 1 sitting. Really enjoyed it, even watch a YouTube video breaking down the final game which was cool.

I'm almost at the end of season 1 of 'The Rookie' with Nathan Fillion. It's a little formulaic, basic and predictable, but it's also quite well done, so sticking with it.

Finished S2. It's so odd, the writing is so convenient and obvious at times, but at the same time it's generally quite well written. The characters do stupid things to help the story along too... but I still really enjoyed it.

I've started on 'New Amsterdam', four eps in and it seems quite good so far.

Indeed, still waiting for season 3 though, hopefully it's out soon.

Season 3 out now on Netflix (Suburra), that's my weekends viewing sorted

Late to the party but I finally found my Amazon fire stick a few weeks ago and got a trial for Apple tv. I've been watching The Morning Show over the last few days and did struggle a little with it half way through, however, I've just finished the final episode and the last half especially was rather intense. I even shed a few tears. Will be interesting to see what happens in season 2

Watching something on Amazon Prime Video this week on my work iPad, I was a little confused about a request to link it to Apple TV, but I accepted. I see when I go into Apple TV, it's a little like how I assume the new Google TV is, with shows from lots of other apps all showing there, Amazon, All 4, iPlayer. I didn't realise. I thought it was like Netflix, where you only get Netflix shows. Kind of interesting.

So I just finished season 1 of For All Mankind, it's been really good 9/10 stuff for me. Other than the extraordinary premise it's been fairly sound technically. But the season finale was fairly contrived and technically dodgy although enjoyable. Looking forward to Season 2

Tabula Rasa
Really good Dutch mystery, thriller horror.
Now this is far better than the hugely disappointing bly Manor.

Edit: just watched the last episode, some great twists in this. Highly recommended.
