I like to pretend Heroes was one season (stupid writers strike…), does that count?

Some drop in quality for sure, but an absolute rocking head-banger of an ending!

Queen’s Gambit was lovely…quietly charming. Anya Taylor-Joy’s eyes are amazing.

The Night Of, if you have not seen it, sits comfortably in my top 5!

You could also check out: Blackbird, Generation Kill, Beef, When they see us.

Also, I may Destroy You, is a different speed (its about sexual assault) but i liked it a lot.

Blackbird and The Night Of were also very good!

Agreed. And 'Blackbird' was very, very good! I dont think it gets the appreciation it deserves.

You should check out The Pitt then, basically the shows premise is 'what happened to that really young baby faced Dr in ER?'

For those that haven't started, I really recommend watching Industry. Season finale is tomorrow and the next season will be the last one. It has been an incredible ride so far.
