You're welcome.

there's a few guys that didn't get much coverage during the Last Dance and Longley's journey was a really interesting one. Glad that all the main Bulls guys (Rodman apparently did agree to an interview, but were unable to find a time that worked) agreed to be interviewed and it shows how much they respected Luc...

Fun story that helps fill in some of the blanks from the Last Dance.

I just finished Andor, and oh boy that was good.

It's not really at all like anything else in Star Wars, and in a good way. Great acting, really consistently good writing, good characters, nice aesthetics with an emphasis in the gritty realism instead of pulp space adventure.

In fact, I would recommend this series even if you care at all about Star Wars. It's really good stuff just on it's own.

Jury Duty is the funniest show I've seen since The Patriot.

I started watching this last night because of your post. It's got some serious Joe Schmo vibes (which I loved).

I watched the first couple episodes of Silo last night, and I'm already hooked. Good stuff!

It could pick up a bit.

I'm concerned that it has a Lost vibe

My worry as well. As with "From" and Yellowjackets.

If the main hook on a show is the mystery, i don't want to wait 5 seasons for resolution

The fact that Silo is based on a book trilogy gives me hope.

There’s already a well thought out story with sensible resolutions/explanations. The show writers don’t need to make things up as they go (ala Lost and 2nd half of GOT).

I'm sticking with 'From' but I'm going to wait until 'Yellowjackets' and 'Silo' finish because even though they started strong I don't know if they'll be able to keep it up and resolve the questions they've raised in a satisfactory way.

It's already been recommended here but we started watching 'Shrinking' on Apple TV and it's excellent. Another well written dramedy, lots of laughs but also interesting characters.

About halfway through The Diplomat on Netflix.
good show. The quantity of F bombs really surprised me, though. lol

Tried watching FUBAR with Arnie. Did one episode and don't think I'll watch any more
as I have a feeling the show will only go downhill from there.
not engaging.

Yellowjackets is definitely in accelerated Lost territory. I'm not sure I will watch another season as the 2nd season finale was just so lazy and sloppy.

I Think You Should Leave season 3 dropped yesterday on Netflix!

If anyone hasn't watched the show, please do. It gets better on multiple viewings!

Not a lost vibe but a Knives Out vibe which is not what I want from an end of the world show.

Go watch Poker Face if you want a murder mystery!
