We’ve been watching The Diplomat on Netflix. Really have enjoyed it - the acting performances have been good, and as some other reviews have said, quite the West Wing vibe if that’s your thing. Definitely worth checking out.

Gotta admit I'm struggling with this season of Mrs Maisel. I absolutely loathed the 60 minutes opening, I was close to turning it off after that. Usually even when Midge's plotline isn't the strongest, there's really great plots going on with the secondary characters, but this year the only plot that's interesting me even a little is Rose and the matchmaker mafia, but that's getting barely any screentime. Hate Joel's storyline with a passion, even though I like him as a character. Suzy's not getting nearly enough to do. The scene with Lenny Bruce in the airport was great. Otherwise, I'm just not feeling it.

I'm going to give this one a try. Kerri Russell is great! My wife mentioned that she finds the dialogue hard to hear/understand. Anyone else find this and turn subtitles on?

Decided to give Your Honour a go. The pilot was great, and four episodes in I'm still enjoying it. Surprisingly fast paced for a slow burn.

I probably avoided it initially cause I assumed it was another legal drama.

Anyone watching Dead Ringers? I saw the preview last night and it looked interesting (anything Cronenberg usually is) but I hadn't heard about it prior so not sure if it's bad or just under the radar.

It’s in my queue next time I’m on an airplane. Worth a shot and who doesn’t love Rachel Weisz.

Is that right? I’m glad to hear this

I didn’t think it was promoted that well, and thought I heard ratings weren’t great

I really like that show

I watched five minutes of yellow jackets out of context: two teens banged in a frozen hut while the others barbecued a dead girl on a hilariously small funeral pyre. I laughed so hard I choked, what the hell is the show about?
