One of my bartenders at the Regal Beagle strongly pushed Ozark on Netflix and 15 minutes I'm really digging it.

Good show

Directed by Jason Bateman!  Very impressive J.

I am halfwar through season 2, and I think The Expanse might be the best TV I've ever watched.

I think I watched 3 seasons of the Expanse and it is a damn good show. Waiting for next season. Very much an underrated  show.

Is it better than the books? I've only read the first and I found it a bit meh.

I thought the books were fairly good through the fifth book, but then got silly.   The show is well-done but much too dark for me (darker than the books, which are plenty dark).  I got maybe half-way through the second season before deciding that I really wanted the human species it depicted to be exterminated and stopped.

:hmm: That may be too realistic for me. I like escapism.

This is why I liked The Road Warrior.  :)

Yeah, I'm midway through season two. It's pretty good

Pretty interesting, more cerebral than action-oriented.

I finished Another Life.
And.
It seems they're really pushing hard for permission to make a series 2 where they promise to be Star Control: The Series crossed with a teen drama.
I just love that the main cast in this, playing their actual age, can likely be usually found playing high school students...which they're still acting like.

Binged The Boys, and I'm now two episodes into Good Omens. Quite enjoyable so far.
