Daredevil's third season might not be the strongest season, but it does flesh out some characters in interesting ways. The non-Colin Farrell-version of Bullseye was pretty good, too.

Making a Murder Season 2 was also frustratingly good, though felt a bit stretched at times.  Though, it puts the show in an odd spot, should they have waited for the events to play out further and come to a place of resolution or will there be a Season 3 in a few years? I am stuck wanting to follow up on current developments but then those would be spoilers if there is a season 3. 

Of course, these are all horrible thoughts given the real life ramifications of all those involved.

Agreed. The editing isn't nearly as sharp as in Part One, which is to be expected, really, given the different time frames of both the content and the production. Still pretty good and fairly engrossing, but also rather bloated compared to the masterful first part.

Billions

After a so/so 1st season - I went all in and finally returned to binge seasons 1 & 2.
I was not disappointed.
Rich and powerful people behaving badly is a genre I can get behind.
Love all of the continuous pop culture references/movie quotes and Wags (played by David Constable) is a CINECAST!ing revelation. He is a joy to watch as is the slow seduction of Dr Wendy Rhoades.
Looking forward to season 4.
Hey, nice marmot!

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

A very good adaptation of the revamped comic, which shouldn't be a surprise because Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa did both. Shipka is very good, showing a lot of range, and being a lot more fun than I honestly expected her to be. The supporting cast is very strong. Especially Michelle Gomez who is an amazing presence and great deal of fun as a witch with mysterious motives. I did think Sabrina's human friends could have been woven into the main storylines in more interesting ways. Too often they're off completely on their own.

Easily got through all ten episodes in just a few sittings.

Binge-watched Homecoming on Amazon Prime (U.S.), and I pretty much loved it. Stars Julia Roberts, Bobby Cannavale, Stephan James (recently seen as Jesse Owens in Race), and Sissy Spacek. All 10 episodes (~30 minutes each) directed by Sam "Mr Robot" Esmail.

Awesome! I was listening to a podcast about it called Start Up. They talk about the scene with the bird and it got me really interested.
