Chernobyl was fantastic. Easily one of my top series ever.

Best show of the decade for about 5 months until Watchmen came out.

I think each episode could be considered was that one episode. I agree though, I don’t know if I can watch it again. Patrick Melrose was incredibly good as well, but one that I am not able to watch again.

My wife and I are really enjoying a new CTV comedy called Children Ruin Everything, but I also feel like it’s specifically tuned at 30-somethings with multiple young kids (obviously) — so if you fit into that group, definitely recommend.

Every episode speaks to me. Plus its Canadian!

Re-watching The Sopranos and my favourite character is Tony's breathing. Side character in the first couple seasons, more prominent in years three and four but by the last two it's become a full fledged main character, right there on the DVD box

Was it all of them? I'm pretty sure it was all of them. The entire show was an exercise in seeing how depressed, yet thoroughly engaged I could be watching entertainment.

my sick twisted mind can endure endless human suffering and death onscreen. Human is the keyword here.

Finished up all the Jack Ryan season on Prime. Not bad. I didn't like the Grier casting. James Earl Jones set a bar too high for an actor from Suits to come in on.

Thought Krazinsky did a great job as Ryan. Maybe the 2nd best iteration of the character behind Alec Baldwin.

Peaky Blinders is back for a 6th and final season. Easily in the top 10 of my favorite shows. Fantastic acting and story. If you haven't seen it it's definitely worth a binge.

So my wife and I finished 'Inventing Anna' on Netflix.

It was...okay.

Sort of a Docudrama about con-artists and rich entitled jerks. Its well done overall, but it just has moments where you're stunned at how stupid some of these people are and generally there are few likeable characters in it.

I was unfamiliar with the real-life events it was based on, but if they were anything like how they were portrayed in the show then I have little to no sympathy for any of the characters involved.

But yeah, he's rather important to the show.

Super Pumped is really good. Great acting and loved that Fred Armisen showed up for an episode. Not sure if it was a fun nod to Portlandia.
