Very pleased to hear Slow Horses is back.
It certainly became more over the top as the seasons went by but season 4 for me was when it got just too ridiculous.

If you like Maniscalco you will like this, maybe. Its funny, maybe. It's also not very good.
I have enjoyed it so far. The 20 minute episodes are just the right length so not much of an investment.

More please.

+1 Excellent watch! Hope there's more!! Jessica Williams is outrageous.

I really like Murder at the End of the World now that it has wrapped up. Solid all the way through and a fun ride.

My youngest daughter loves the Percy Jackson novels and I just cant get it out of my head.

Have you seen 'Mount Olympus?' Its a very climbable hill.

Just started watching this. Yes, agreed this is fantastic. Before watching it, I thought it would be too child orientated. That is not the case. It's pretty dark at times.

I want to second this, I just finished the finale last night and it was a fun little series. Great acting, good premise, good production value and not tons of filler.

I'd recommend it.

I just finished the second episode of Scavenger's Reign. The artwork is captivating. All the creatures on the planet are beautifully drawn and interesting.

It's not without its flaws, but Mayans MC has no business being as good as it is considering it's a spin-off of Sons of Anarchy. There are some similarities to the original series, and quite a few call backs, but it has a completely different vibe. Maybe a hybrid of SOA and The Shield.

I've just started season 3 and it feels like they have again taken a tonal and stylistic shift contrasted against the first 2 seasons. I'm not sure how I feel about the direction quite yet, but I'm intrigued and invested.

If you liked Sons of Anarchy then you'll appreciate the continuation in Mayans MC.

Until I saw this I forgot how much my 17 yo son loved those books. He read all the books within a month or so in middle school, loved the movie and read some of the Olympus books and then forgot about it for years when they didn't make any more movies.

I mentioned this series came out, and he was so excited and watching the first couple episodes was about the most enthusiastic I've seen him about pretty much anything in a long time.

It's strange though that he is the ultimate target market for this, and he had no idea it was even a thing.

Oh man...thats really great.

I am far, far too sarcastic for this.

But she learned this after making me watch Harry Potter. Which....I'm not going to get into it right now.

Its actually pretty good, I think they're getting most of their Mythology right so far.
