Not sure if this belongs here, it being Amazon Prime, but I saw episodes 1 and 2 of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on my flight the other day, and I recommend it highly. Rachel Brosnahan does a, well, marvelous job. The supporting cast is fun too.

My wife wanted to watch this, and I'm so glad we did.

Just finished seasons 1 and 2, it's masterful.

It's delightful, and funny and I love the masterful job they did making it feel like the late 50's. Although I wasn't alive then, so I guess I wouldn't know how authentic it is in that regard.

Brosnahan is incredible. I think I'm legitimately in love with her character, if that's possible.

Tony Shaloub is perfectly cast, and steals many scenes. Alex Borstein is awesome in this.

 

I highly recommend this to everyone. At first glance it may not look like your type of show. That was my mistake the many times I scrolled past it.

The first few episodes, while good, everyone seems to be getting a feel for their characters. But, as Mrs. Maisel gains confidence in the show, so too do the actors and writers, and by the end of season 2 it's television at it's finest.

 

I honestly can't believe how much I love this show, I find myself daydreaming about the characters throughout the day, which is the hallmark of truly great art.

 

Go see it.

Episode one of Good Omens was good.

I am attempting what I call slow binge watching..... Trying to watch one episode a week.

I watched episode one and parts of the second episode.  It certainly hasn't hooked me, but it is so well-produced and casted that I'll probably keep with it.

Frankly, I was so disappointed that I fell asleep during the third episode. I love the casting of Sheen and Tenant and they're good together, but for some reason the show just feels flat to me whenever they're off-screen.

Yeah, I haven't gone back, and been rewatching Deadwood instead to prepare for the new feature length thingy.

Anyone try Chernobyl or The Hot Zone? I'm enjoying both.

 

Someone at work watched Chernobyl and gave it a thumbs up.   My sister was in Hungary when it happened, and it was completely suppressed from news.  She did not hear about it until she left the iron curtain.

 

Dead to Me was renewed for a second season.

Has anyone else watched the final season of Jessica Jones?

 

I really enjoyed the season overall, perhaps one of the best done without a tremendous villain to base the story around in any of the Netflix Marvel series, IMO.

Yep, Letterkenny is outstanding.

 

I watched one episode and thought it kind of sucked. Then a couple more and I now think it’s the best thing ever.

 

It’s like...Live action, Canadian King if the Hill with no filter and shades of Napoleon Dynamite.

I just finished Season 3 of Stranger Things, and the last episode hit me, hard.

Yes, it did. The cut scene kind of ruined my emotional response though, and seemed to cheapen things. Great season, though it is turning into more horror it seems.

 

I don't get why two college students had to say goodbye....

Okay ... that intrigued me until the big spider thingie coming out of the swamp at the end. No. I'm worse than Ron Weasley when it comes to spiders.

Well, could you cheer a spiders demise? Monsters are a key feature in Witcher lore (he's basically a mercenary for monsters), but I don't know how gross the show will be.  The video games weren't scary, and only occasionally gross.

Maybe the spider clip is misleading and she is really friendly like Charlotte.  She was probably just going to give him directions out of the swamp.
