I don't need much of an excuse to watch a show featuring Rebecca Ferguson.

Highlight of the season for me was this number that combines plotlines and characters from Little Orphan Annie and Sweeney Todd, with a solution to their mutual dilemmas that Jonathan Swift would approve of.
This - a million times this.

How long until we inevitably need a Wool / Spoilers thread for book readers?

Are you having a good day? Watch an episode of 'Silo' and it'll cure that.

Holy hell...this is a great show but seriously...this is dark stuff even for me.

I've only watched Episode 1 but this is a heavy show.

Yes, inject the darkness into my veins....

I just started watching "Alice in Borderland" and after 3 episdoes I'm a fan. If you liked Squid Games, it's in that genre.

Mr Inbetween is so good.

Does anyone need to watch with subtitles? I can barely understand some of the accents and I used to live in Sydney.

It is great.

I just want to drop someone from that area of Australia into Newfoundland and just bask in them trying to communicate with each other.

I am with you. I am liking it so far, and it's not Mr. Rogers for sure. But IMO it's not some heavy, depressing material that is outside the spectrum of typical TV dramas.

I would hope nobody stays away from it for this reason.

Finally got around to watching Shrinking on Apple+- what a great show.
Great cast and writing, another Brett Goldstein show (Ted Lasso)

Just binged The Diplomat (Netflix) with Keri Russel as star and also one of the Exec Producers. Very West Wing-like in style. No surprise as the show-runner worked on that a couple decades back.

Tight, interesting characters, political. Not super-realistic in lots of ways, but fun nonetheless. Not violent at all - plenty of intrigue and her husband, Hal, is as annoying as they come! 8 one-hour episodes.

There WILL be a Season 2 (just announced).

Yeah, this was a great, tight show. The secondary characters are all so well-done. I thought Trowbridge in particular was perfect for his role. Regarding the ending and season 2:

Easily in my Top 5 of best TV series ever. In any genre/category. Yes, I turn on subtitles (but I do that with everything).

I want to post some clips to get more people to watch but every clip I find is too good and borders on spoilering some of its best moments.
