    I just started watching Chernobyl. It's only like 5 or 6 episodes, but is highly rated.

      Started Section 31 while pedaling. It started out great, then descended into a futuristic Batman movie.

        Good show. In an odd way, 5 episodes was perfect...not long and drawn out, and not too short either. Very well done, I can see why it's so highly rated.

        Just looked it up and saw the awards it was nominated for and won. It's a shame the main actor (Jared Harris) didn't win the Golden Globe, but in an odd twist, what the show didn't win it lost to usually...Succession, which I think is the next series I'm going to watch. It was a random toss up between that, Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones, Billions, and a few other shows I want to "binge" (as much as I can with maybe one episode per night).

              Mobland on Parmount plus. Pierce Brosnan’s finest work. One line in first episode is worth the whole hour.

                          I've been watching Andor on the treadmill. It's ok, keeping me entertained, and not boringly stupid with any messaging. The reason I'm giving it a chance is because I've seen such positive things as this video essay, which says that it's too good for Disney star wars, and sets an impossible bar for their other entries in the universe.

                          Link to video

                          I actually never watched any star wars beyond the original and then the first in the prequel trilogy. Never the sequel trilogy, and never any of other movies or series. But then I saw some spoof LOTR commentaries that I enjoyed, and I saw he did so much star wars stuff, and I wanted to be able to appreciate that too. So I'm trying to learn about the Star Wars universe. The universe lore is probably more fun than most of the movies set in that universe. I like the Sith Rule of 2. I never knew about that.

                          Education is extremely important.

                            Andor, I'm afraid the hype will leave folks with too high expectations. That being said, I've seen both seasons and both start out somewhat slowly, but by the middle/end (especially the 2nd season) they are fantastic. Like, I re-watched an episode (Who Are You?, I think it's Season 2, Episode 8?) because I liked it so much. Treadmill watching might hurt the experience a little bit, the music, dialog, set design, and slow tension I really enjoyed while watching with headphones on either on TV or on my iPad.

                              I watch on an iPad with noise cancelling airpods. It's a pretty good viewing situation, but for breaking it up into 30 minute slices.

                                Three lately that I’ve binged and really liked - “Sirens”, “Dept Q” (ok, the plot was a little much, but it was pretty entertaining), and “The Better Sister”

                                  Finished S1 of Mobland - awesome acting and writing. S1 E1 of Poker Face is intriguing. Bosch Legacy is of course good. Righteous Gemstones is a hoot. Started re-watching Animal Kingdom for my bike workouts.

                                    Watch Rogue One. It’s kind of the immediate prequel to the original, and was quite probably the finest Star Wars movie they made. Andor is kind of a prequel to that…

                                      Lucas and I just finished Invincible. Karla and I are trying to get through Silo, and all of us are preparing to watch Clarkson’s Farm 4.

                                        Yeah it was fun watching Rogue One after Andor. It’s a great movie/ending to the whole tv series.
