The Twilight Zone reboot is inferior to Black Mirror.

There are way too many good shows on air right now.

Killing Eve S2, Veep, Fleabag, and Doom Patrol. Next week GOT will commence....Not enough time to catch 'em all.

The no.1 contributor to a lot of global misinformation. The original fake news channel. The rubber prosthetic a little too telling. Think there's a movie version with John Lithgow and a bunch of a-list actress aimed at awards season.

Guess it's worthwhile for at least 2,3 episodes. Might reread the books again to freshen up who's who.

A little late into HBO's Succession, dug the high calibre casting. It's an analogue to the Murdoch media empire. Love Brian Cox take as the foul-mouthed patriarch figurehead who loves to pit his own children against each other. Ultra rich douchebags playing high stake mind games. Since this is an Adam McKay show, critiquing right wing politics is unavoidable.

This looks like a decent noir thriller.

So it's your zero to hero rise of a smut peddler. It has that excessive Wolf of Wall Street energy to it where you follow a deadbeat salesman who carve out his porno empire. Crazy and funny situations of one after another. HBO's The Duece is more gritty and grounded while this has more comedic touches and easier to follow. Goes without saying that it's a "cuci mata" excess show, make sure no children around when watching it.

Peaky Blinders has been on my Netflix queue like forever. Last night finally decide to give it a go. Eff me, I have no idea why I kept avoiding it all this time. This is a much better Steven Knight show than Taboo which he also did with Tom Hardy, exceptional writing with great performance. Loving the short episode count which means plot lines always moving forward.

Izzit worth watching and sitting thru the sh1tsh0w at the fcuk factory in that fcuk3d-up family?

Tried to watch 2 episodes; while I like the business dealings side of it, I can't stand any of the @$$h0l3s family members and their in-fightings ... the father Roy, the sons, the daughter, the daughter's 'husband', the cousin, the stepmother, etc. ... none, except maybe Ken's ex-wife(?)

I do like Adam McKay's previous works, but I guess he's not the showrunner in this series.

(or maybe that's why it's that good?, to be able to get on my nerve while watching the show ...  I didn't fast forward or skip, I'll try to give a show a fair 2 or 3 episodes full trial before deciding to give up or continue).

Season 2 miles better than season 1. Each character has a fulfilling crescendo arc. Shiv, Roman and Kendall are much better flesh out as Roy hanging by a thread amidst internal and external fighting. Going through the assholeries is worth it when finale drop nuclear bomb comeuppance.

Didn't know I needed a modern iteration of Peaky Blinders. This looks good!

The same people behind Gomorrah. So you have gritty and dark human drama. An alternative to Netflix's Narcos but tonally this is in line with Sicario. Gorgeous cinematography with capable cast.
