Thanks :) I think the first one I'll be watching is 'Ozark', 'Atlanta' has just started this week on the BBC, together with 'Patrick Melrose' on Sky.
Also the second season of 'The Handmaids Tale' starts next week, so I'll have something to watch :)

Watched the first episode of PBS' Little Women. It's delightful so far, the daughters are well cast and Emily Watson and Angela Lansbury are fantastic.
Check out my blog of many topics

I'd watch that. Wish it was available to stream in Canada.

Two episodes into Killing Eve and loving it. It's fun, brisk, and plays with a gleefully dark tone. Sandra Oh is great and Jodie Comer is giving what could be an iconic performance.

Altered Carbon I abandoned before the first episode was finished (maybe the 3/4 point). The characters were all very boring and I had serious doubts about it developing into an interesting sci-fi concept. It just seemed like a blended, vague rehash of elements from The Matrix, Westworld and Ghost in the Shell. Feels like Netflix chasing a hot market rather than being a trendsetter.

Ozark is one of the best series I've come across. One of the few true bright spots in all my Netflix vieiwng this last year. Very exciting for it to return.

You're pretty right about AC. It throws heavy sci-fi concepts left and right and never does any of them justice.

Ozark is lit.

Hugh Grant is on a role roll. Paddington 2 was wonderful, but I love his more complex, human role as Jeremy Thorpe in A Very English Scandal even better.  It presents itself as a comedy, and it paces itself as a comedy, but it moves swiftly into the fully human and sublime.  Great TV, good entertainment. Alex Jennings returns every of Grant's parries, but in time Ben Whishaw gives them both a run for their money in the role of a homosexual man who feels he is wronged by Thorpe until eventually he is.  The courtroom drama in the final part is quite tense, as well.   Good stuff, only three hours.  Worth the time.

I'm watching Sense8 on Netflix. It's dumb. But a good kind of dumb. This show looks so expensive, there's no wonder why it was cancelled by Netflix. I'm glad we're treated to 2 seasons of this pricey nonsense.

It is literally dumb, it is metaphorically the greatest show ever made.

I knew Bondo would have to react to that.
