A gag from the comic series is that nearly every collected volume is named after a sitcom. (Forgive my crude redacting)

Invincible was really good. I'm considering watching the season again and I don't ever rewatch shows.

Finished it.

Still hate Amber.

Didn't really get Nolan's justification.

Fleabag is ridiculously good. Uncomfortable, and ridiculously good.

I've heard that for so long and just can't find a hook to get me to watch it.

Half hour episodes, 6 episodes in a season, 2 seasons (I think). It isn't a long haul.

If you like British humour, this is a good one. A bit dark, but that great dry wit with just enough self deprication/self loathing to hit a raw nerve.

Yep, 2 seasons. Took a while for the 1st season to grab me, but the last episode is very good and then the 2nd season is excellent.

The fact that Obama said Fleabag was one of his favourite shows was hysterical after you see one of the early episodes.

Watched Stowaway. I love the occasional slower, thoughtful sci-fi but it's really boring.
