Well this is sad news.

I suspect that if the first episodes/season grab you you'll enjoy the rest. I think it's a story that would really benefit from watching binge-fashion, rather than having to wait months between seasons. I enjoyed the entire four seasons, including the way it ended, which I know was not to everyone's liking. It's well-written, beautifully shot, with plenty of twists and turns and WTF moments, and the actors nail the huge variety of characters, especially Rami Malek, who seemed to really inhabit his role. Worth seeking out and/or sticking with as the case may be, IMO.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
I say kudos to Rami for not feeling too good, or too underpaid to continue Mr Robot. After winning the Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury.

Merlin--it's free on many streaming channels like Pluto, Tubi, etc. It plays loosely with the King Author myth, so it's fantasy. It's made for all ages so don't expect Game of Thrones, but overall pretty entertaining.
My wife crushed on the two leads so I watched the first four seasons. Yeah, it's family friendly and there's plot holes galore (Camelot is extraordinarily easy to break in and out of). But the main actors are quite good. Something you could watch with kids or old people and not worry about a Red Wedding or steamy incest popping up.

Speaking of Game of Thrones, here's a good summary of what to expect in the new series. House of the Dragon is going to BURN. https://nerdist.com/article/game-of-...still-be-fire/

I invested so much time wih Game of Thrones (watching every episode 2 sometimes 3 times) and was so disappointed with how it finished off. It's probably silly, but because of that i can't get myself interested in this new thing...yet.

I just finished the 2 seasons of The Outlaws on Prime. Stephen Merchant wrote and stars in the show about a group of people doing community service for minor crimes in Bristol, England. The show is smartly written, combining Merchant's wit, great character development, bring social commentary, and hijinks. The cast is fantastic, including Christopher Walken as a con-nan, dead beat dad. Highly recommended.
That one is on the list.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Just finished binge watching it for the 3rd (some episodes the 4th) time, learn something new with each pass. I only watched Game of Thrones because I had heard the hype and really had nothing better to do. I was in bed for over a week with the worst back pain I ever experienced. It was during the holidays a few years back. Everyone was out at parties and cable was showing seasons 1-7, a season per day. I missed a lot, but I was hooked. Watched the last season a couple of months later.
I'm ready for the House of the Dragon! This series I plan on watching it as they are broadcast. Bring the Heat!
For All Mankind Season 3 was pretty epic. Black Bird (also on Apple TV+) was also great.

Three episodes in on the Obi-Wan series and I'm done. The title character is the dumbest Jedi in the galaxy, plot holes abound, and young Leia is just precocious and annoying enough that I want to see her slaved out to the Tuskens.

Decided to hit up Locke and Key on Netflix last night. First episode was interesting enough to continue on. I'm sure this was discussed here at some point...any fans?

I don't have Netflix, so I haven't seen the show, but I've read the comics they're based on. Art by Gabriel Rodriguez, script by Joe Hill, who is really Joe King, Stephen's son. Good stuff.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
I enjoyed it quite a bit, altho I liked S1 more than S2. Haven't started S3, yet.

Also behind on Westworld due to travel, but pretty much agree with everything you say. I will stick with it, but it sure is hard to follow at times.
I saw it a while back. Excellent, excellent series. Ranks right up there as one of the best for me.
And technically accurate. They didn't dumb down the computer terminology like too many shows and movies do. And BTW: some scenes were shot at the Fry's Electronics store here in Phoenix. Before the pandemic drove Fry's Electronics out of business.

No comments on the EXCELLENT series finale of Better Call Saul?
I thought it was perfection.
I have been travelling so have not had the chance to finish it yet. Still two episodes to go that I plan to watch tomorrow night. So far I have been able to avoid spoilers.
I couldn't think of a much better way to end it. Great ending to a great series.

I really would love to sea Rhea Seehorn win the Emmy for her role as Kim in BCS, but man does she ever have some fierce competition!

Agree, I would love to see her win it, but man that category is tough. Julia Garner, Jung Ho Yeon, J Smith-Cammeron, and Sara Snook are all great performances as well.
Well, House Of The Dragon is here in just over 48 hours. Who is watching episode one live? We have our wine and are patiently counting down the hours. Perhaps we should start a separate thread so we can talk about it without worrying about spoilers?

Rhea Seehorn could win for BCS in 2023 remember per the Summer episodes were released intentionally to make them eligible for next year's awards.
