So on Dark, is it a show you need to binge? Of if you only watch once every several days can you still keep track of everything?
I don't think so as I'm not a binge watcher that blows through any show in days or even a week and I had no issues (I should clarify as there will be times when you are a little confused but things will come full circle in time). It may take a few episodes for you to get comfortable remembering names and such but I wouldn't worry about having to watch it daily to keep up.

- Giant swing and a miss. They took an intriguing idea and premise for a travel and sustainability docuseries and saddled with two of the dumbest, worst hosts on the face of the Earth. The most entertainment you'll get out of this is the attitudes and expressions of the experts that they talk to who are thoroughly dumbfounded as to why they're wasting their time with these two dudebro idiots.
The Business of Drugs:
- I'm only 3 episodes through this one so far but I'm really enjoying it. The principle host does an excellent job of humanizing the history and economic structure of various drug trades and the circumstances that inspire people to participate in the cultivation, creation and distribution of drugs.

Old Guard was ok. Better than some of the other junk that has come out, but it still couldn't hold my attention into the second half. The action scenes started to fade. It sure felt like a setup or pilot movie for future 'episodes' and not a stand alone action movie. (Yes I'm aware of the source material)
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I'd definitely watch another entry in a series of it.

I don't think you need to binge...in some ways, its better not to go over board as there's a lot of stuff that happens and its good to think a little about the story line.
its a show i don't think you should leave for too long either.. 1 or 2 episodes every 2-3 days seems reasonable. As EE said, there's a bit of a learning curve with names/characters, but the series is smart in helping that along with split screens.
you'll find a sweet spot once you start watching, but i would definitely encourage you watch and stick with it, as it really is a great show.

I haven't seen it yet, but saw this on Twitter yesterday and had a laugh, so it sounds like your review seems to be the general consensus (spoiler for size)
Who watched Snowpiercer? I thought it was okay. I found the cartoony blood to be distracting.
I really enjoyed Old Guard and hope it is parlayed into a trilogy like I have been reading there is the potential for.
Been a fan of the comics so I've been stoked to see the mostly positive reaction the film has been getting. Great casting, great action choreography. The second volume of the planned trilogy of comics stories just concluded this past Wednesday. Hope the movie is successful enough to see the subsequent adaptations.

The woman made me watch an episode last night. I laughed at it's absurdity the entire time. Good thing Zac Efron is handsome, because he is an idiot.

Spoiler!
This made me LOL.
The episode I watched, he referred to a centigenarian woman as "cool chick" and I lost it there, haha.

And so is his friend.
The thing is, as I said before it was a giant 'swing and a miss.'
There was potential for this show, its an interesting idea but everyone screwed this up, from picking arguably two of the dumbest humans on the planet to host something they know absolutely nothing about to determining scenarios and circumstances that are at the ridiculous extremes.
"We're going to go and chill with these crazy hippies in their commune in the Jungle of Costa Rica."
Uh huh. Why? This is not a practical solution.
"We're going to eat this ethically sourced local cuisine at this Michelin Star Restaurant."
Uh huh. Why? Practically nobody can afford to eat there. This is not a practical solution.
Just...so dumb.

I think that this review identified exactly what they set out to do, which they did.

Love on the Spectrum is one of the sweetest shows that I've ever seen.
It was entertaining and incredibly refreshing compared to the drek that is normally reality television.

I'll second this. Turned it on out of total boredom, and ended up really enjoying it.
The Indian Matchmaker one was surprisingly enjoyable too.
I think I'm so tired of watching true crime dramas and American tough-guy nonsense (drek is the right word) that seeing some nice people for a change was truly refreshing.
