Just finished season two of Perry Mason. I enjoyed this season much better than season one, but then I always love noir. 8.5/10 - very disappointed to find out that there will be no season three.
Anybody else watching The Diplomat on Netflix? 6 episodes in over two nights and my wife and I are addicted. Two more to go - just hoping they can land the ending. So happy it was just renewed for a second season.
My wife and I loved The Diplomat. Be sure to watch the credits of the final episode all the way through.
A lot of people on my Twitter feed are raving about The Crowded Room on Apple TV+.

The Crowded Room is on our list as well, though critics seem to be a bit divided on it. Thanks for the tip on watching the credits. Can't wait to watch the final two episodes.Originally Posted by Bev Vincent
Just finished season one of The Diplomat. Loved it. Nailed the ending - can't wait for season two (damn writer's strike!). Part 24, part House of Cards, part quirky rom-com, and somehow this bizarre cocktail works. 9/10
If you have Paramount+, you now have Showtime.

I have the cheap old "Limited Ads" plan and no Showtime, need to upgrade to P+ST.
I really enjoying HIJACK with Idris Elba -- seven parts, four currently out on Apple TV+. Mostly realtime as events unfold.

I stopped watching a few seasons ago after theySpoiler:but I read the series finale recap out of curiosity. My initial reaction was, "What the hell?" My current reaction is, "What the hell?"

I don't come on much anymore. Don't collect like I used to for that matter too. However, "From" I absolutely love and second season recently ended. Not much to see these days it seems.

Yes, thought it was a strange ending.

That looks trippy af!! Can't wait to see it.
Have you read the book? Or any Ito? He's amazing. I know Heather is a fan.
Yeap, I've read a few of his stories. Uzumaki and Shiver stick out in my mind, although the latter was a bit challenging for me since I have trypophobia and some of those illustrations made my skin crawl.
It's been YEARS since I've read Uzumaki tho so I'm sure I'll go into the show relatively fresh.
Just finished the season finale for Hijack, the Idris Elba series on Apple TV. I thought things started well early on and then kind of lost its way. 7/10
Agreed Greg

I thought it was pretty brilliant all the way through. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the way to the end.

Just recently started watching The Lazarus project. The premise is pretty interesting and not something I've seen before outside of maybe an episode of Star Trek.
Basically this group has figured out a way for the entire planet to literally go back in time to a specific checkpoint. That checkpoint is Midnight on July 1st every year. Pass the checkpoint and nothing bad happens? Life continues on. WW3 breaks out? They reset the timeline until they can figure out a way to stop it. For most people they don't realize what's happening but a small group of people are actually able to remember each and every iteration.
I think it's interesting how they show each iteration being slightly different for the characters. How they don't always make the exact same decisions or say/do the exact same things each and every time.
The first season is only 8 episodes long and I'm 3 episodes in but I'm hooked so far.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Sounds interesting; I'll have to check it out.
