Succession rules! I hadn't really heard much about it until fairly recently, but I was able to binge the first two seasons pretty quickly. Every episode was entertaining in some way. I don't think there's been a single bad episode.

What a finale for Dark. Easily a top-5 show all-time. Best Netflix original by a country mile.

Show I currently love:

Succession
Ozark
Handmaid's Tail
Better Call Saul


Sopranos & Trem are at the top of my list of shows I haven’t watched. But they’re both so many seasons that I wanna finishing catching up on current shows like Westworld.


I tried watching Treme recently, but found myself fast forwarding through much of the music segments (of which, they're are a lot), and I found the characters to be fairly boring. I gave it up.

Now I'm watching Twin Peaks (1990). I vaguely remember watching it as a kid, but I decided to rewatch it. Man, such a weird show.

Sherilyn Fenn was so pretty, though.

As a musician, I think I’m gonna love the music segments :)

It is 3 years old already, but Revolutinary Love is a good Korean comedic mini-series on Netflix. It is cheesy, but I became obsessed with it.

I just finished watching season one. The pace is sooo slow. Confusing as heck too if you're not paying full attention.

I am already in withdrawal over finishing Succession's second season. The parts that are funny are so memorable, but what sticks out to me is the social humiliation it often depicts. A cringe-worthy dinner party can feel like the the Red Wedding without the bloodshed.

I’m in the same spot on season 3. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot of the guy who plays Jonas in the future (he’s also really good in the movie Land of Mine).

I have yet to watch Kendall's OG rap scene in full as it's just so embarrassing. I don't think I've ever felt more embarrassed for a fictional character.

Unfortunately I don't think the show was able to start production, so season 3 might not come out until next year. :(

finished a while ago and i agree with other poster, one of the best finales i have ever seen. prob my fav sci fi show all time, up there with BB for me for TV series. netflix needs to continue funding interntional shows like this.

I know the writers already have a new show in the works 1899, very hyped for that, the premise looks very interesitng.

I got to watch that Epstein mini series after all the memes and the english lady recently getting arrested. This guy had a **** of money damn. I really hope more comes out of this. Hopefully the elites he hung out with are exposed and we really start to take female trafficking seriously. Pimps madams and whores are still out and about and there's a huge demand for them.

What's this dark about?

German sci-fi series about time travel. Think Interstellar, if it were a series, and took place in a small German town instead of outer space. The small town part doesn't mean it's a low budget show. The acting and production value are both top notch.

The Middleditch and Schwartz comedy special on Netflix was great.

This. Dark was one beautiful mind fxck, wasn't a fan of how the finale went down; but glad that they didn't unnecessarily drag the show on for another 2-3 seasons. Season 3 was unreal.

Just finished Dark the other day, it's pretty much Stranger Things but more mature, twisted. Way better writing, character development, plot etc. With time travel, worm holes, different dimensions. As much as I wouldn't really compare the two, that's like the closest thing. Going to watch the Epstein series next. Apparently, she's "contracted" COVID while in FBI custody. I don't see her making it to trial, she's ready to expose more to get a better deal. Epstein did the same and he apparently committed "suicide", now that the Royal Family is beginning to be exposed in the scandal as well; things are going to get even uglier.

I've been binge watching Alone, the History channel show. It's good. There are 7 seasons, the 7th is currently airing Thursday nights at 10pm on History.
