We started the Undoing, 1/2 way through S1 now and it's worth the time so far...

Nicole Kidman gives one heck of a performance. Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland etc.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Looks funny as hell. But I don't think I have the service it's on.

Kominsky method is very good too...@MB, Lasso will probably hit Netflix soon. The Morning Show is reason enough alone to get Apple TV+ , at least for a little while...  ;)

Definitely. I was hooked after the first episode.

Watched Season 1 of Kominsky Method last year visiting my sister. Watched the whole season in one sitting. Really funny and well written. Alan Arkin is just one of those few comedic actors who can make you laugh without saying anything. I don't think you have to be a geezer to enjoy it either. :-)

Ted Lasso is amazing. Not what I expected. Very feel good and heartwarming in a comedy... rare.

Yellowstone is a great drama. Game of Thrones, modern day Western style.

Succession on HBO is terrific. New season coming soon. 

I found Letterkenny hilarious. A bit too Canadian. Took some time to grow on me.

Shameless, if you haven’t seen it yet. First few seasons are great. After Fiona leaves, it falls off a bit.

Just caught the first two episodes of Kaminsky. Very good. Hook is set and I'm sure we'll blow throw it in a week.

Hacks on HBO is also a hoot.

Late to the party on Halt and Catch Fire. Good but the GF doesn't really care for it.

I'm mourning the loss of "Prodigal Son", so I guess I'll be looking for a new show soon.

90 minutes??  Look at you lol.  If we can make it 1/2 way through a 40 minute show my wife and I do good.  It take a month to get through a new show so it better be good lol.

Yeah, my wife and I always try to have a TV show we watch together.  Prodigal Son was it.  Both of us are super disappointed it ended after two seasons...  sounds like they are trying to get someone to pick it up.  Fingers crossed.

Never heard of it. But damn, I'll have to figure out how to watch it. Looks like something I'd really like.

I try to watch an hour show and maybe a half hour show,  so it ends up being about an hour of TV since most of what we watch is on the DVR.  our goal is to have the shows we watch caught up on before the new seasons start.

I'm shocked it didn't get a 3rd season...  viewership apparently wasn't large enough.  I'm boycotting Fox until they bring it back or someone else picks it up.

Yellowstone has sucked complete ass this season. WTAF. Did all the writers suffer brain damage? Bordering on unwatchable.

Just watched first 5 episodes of 'The Morning Show' on Apple+....very good. Didn't know we got that streaming service free because of our Verizon phone until about a week ago.

Wife and I both really liked The Morning Show...Great cast, good writing. 

S2 was about as good as S1 too. 

1883 is our new must see tv. We've been able to catch it on CW or Paramount on Dish - didn't required Paramount + streaming.

Started watching Succession the other night. About half way through the first season now. It's hard for me to find the time, patience or waking hours to watch a series, but, wow, the hooks are in. This is the best thing I've seen in a while. So smart, so funny. Why didn't anyone tell me this was not-so-loosely based on the Murdoch empire? I would've tuned in much earlier.
