I find that this is a phenomenon, at least w me, I start watching a series and it seems good but then I lose interest soon after, e.g. Only Murders in the Building.

Well, BEEF is so-far, so-good, but I'm only 2 episodes in.

That's my SOP. If it doesn't catch me quick (1-2 episodes), I'm out. My time is too precious to spend it watching bad content. I think one of the reasons there's so much bad content is because there's so much content.

Only watched the trailer. Enjoyed it and the Smashing Pumpkins song. Don't have Netflix so I guess I won't be seeing it. Looks good, though.

Yes there is tons out there but I find all the content is mediocre. I have not found much that is a worth a shit if I’m honest. That’s how things like White Lotus get all the hype.

Just finished Beef, excellent show, the penultimate episode was incredibly tense and had some shocking twists, did not see a lot of that coming. Definitely one of the best shows I’ve watched this year in my opinion.

Looks like True Detective is back! Hopefully will be good, so far Jodie Foster and a dark Alaskan setting look interesting.

Watched 2 episodes of the Last thing he said to me last night. Not bad actually. A bit slow moving but I want to watch more.

Ya, that was outta nowhere. Poor character.

You said "twists" in plural so I thought that I missed something.

I'm watching 'Succession' from the beginning. Still on Season 1. They go to considerable lengths to get their episodes to be, err, considerable in length. Otherwise it's pretty entertaining. Good work with picking the actors IMO, and the general run of the dialogue is good as well. I keep going back for more.

Have just started re-watching “Dead Like Me” on Roku. Do you guys remember that show? Thought it was funny 20 years ago. Let’s see if I still enjoy it.

This looks good, interested to see Robert Downy Jr play multiple roles or disguises, as well as Sandra Oh.

The Diplomat, Kerry Russell is quite good and is easy on the eyes. I also like watching Michael McKeon as the President of the US.
