I watched the first 3 episodes of Deadloch on Prime. It's funny to me. Lots of c-words, but it's Australian so I guess that's ok! Interesting mix of comedy and murder drama.
I watched a few minutes of this and will definitely add to the list

Thoughts on the final season of Ms Maisel, with major spoilers:
Spoiler!
I hated the flash-forward sequences, and now that the season is over I can't think of a single thing that I learned from a flash-forward that I actually cared about. That she became incredibly famous and successful? That she has a good relationship with her mother but that her mother would die at some point? That she and Susie had a period where they weren't speaking but in the end they became friends again? That Joel would face consequences for the way he went about supporting Midge? That Lenny Bruce would ultimately flame out? That one of her children was a genius and the other would become an aspiring rabbi, but would be ####ed up from her fame and lack of parenting?
All of those facts were either unimportant, or adequately implied within the storyline. It seems like they *really* wanted to tell the whole story of Joel getting arrested for his actions, Midge blaming Susie, and then eventually forgiving her, but I don't see that as completing their arc in a way that they couldn't have done within the main timeline.
That's not to say there's some very good moments in this season, and the main-timeline ending was a decent payoff, but would have paid off more not knowing the future, IMO.
For how great the show started out, I feel like they entirely forgot their formula. I can't help comparing it with Ted Lasso. Both shows had a great formula in season 1: for Ms Maisel, it was using her standup as a way of showing a thoughtful perspective on the events she was experiencing; in Ted Lasso, it was using the game of football as a metaphor and lens into the relationships of characters and their personal struggles. Both shows had some early success in branching out from that formula, but Ted Lasso never forgot the formula and returned to it when it needed to. Ms Maisel basically abandoned its formula for the last season, with almost no standup until the final episode, and that final standup, basically a summation of her life and career works in part because we've seen her doing almost no standup this season... which feels like a safe and cheap way of making that final standup pay off.

Just finished Mr Inbetween. What a great show. Season 3 wasn't as good as the first two seasons but S3 E1 was f***ing fantastic. The rest of the season had a couple of filler episodes but also some great episodes.
If you haven't watched this series(on Apple) you should. One of my favorite series ever.
Shout out to those who recommended it. Never would have watched it otherwise.

I'm still working my way through Suits. I'm in the the middle of season three, and can now report with 100% confidence that I am in love with Donna. I may or may not have had brief waverings in Rachel's direction at certain times, but they were fleeting at best and are not be compared to what is now the real thing.

Ran across it and came here to mention it
So far, pretty entertaining

My interest in Yellowstone waned pretty early on. Then 1883 came along and was more up my alley, but didn't really do it for me. But I'm absolutely loving 1923! I've only finished the first five episodes, but I'm really engaged in the show, the characters - everything.
If your a fan of the Alone series, season 10 started last night. This season features the ultra-remote Saskatchewan wilderness areas around Reindeer Lake, in the harsh landscape of the province's boreal shield. The show takes a far more intense approach than is usual to the survivalist/tough-it-out-in-the-wilderness format, placing contestants in real danger and actual isolation. Parcipants are warned the show could last for up to a year, although so far no one has made it past 100 days. They must survive with only a few tools, camera gear for self-documenting the experience, a satellite phone for tapping out, and occasional medical checks.

This will be interesting. That area, specifically the waters, is full of food. Like rusty nail on a line and you'll catch kind of fishing. Although it won't be easy, I could see some lengthy stays as they should be able to feed themselves fairly consistently. Better than previous versions anyway.

We watched the intro episode last night "Before the Drop". I'm not sure if they have done it before, and usually I hate these "filler" type episodes, but it was well worth it. Will watch episode one soon. Been a fan for a few seasons now. Maybe we need a thread...

Yeah I've spent a lot of time in both the La Range and Pinehouse areas. The fishing is insane. Big Walleye up there too.
