What TV Show's are you watching/looking forward to?

The Control room - apart from a few plot holes, watchable.

When I was thinking who'd show up during these final episodes, Carol Burnett never crossed my mind. But she sure was great.

Mock the Week was never part of the culture wars. We only fought for laughs | Dara Ó Briain

If there’s one lesson I draw looking back on it all, it’s this: people have taken our nonsense waaaayyyy too seriously, says comedian Dara Ó Briain

Dara's reflection on mock. a shame it's ending. Have been watching it on YouTube for the last couple years as my source for foreign news. As good as old school Daily Show.

The Sandman: ingenious TV that will inspire an entire generation of goths

The enduringly popular comic book series about gods and the afterlife gets the big-bucks, amazing-cast Netflix treatment. And it’s good. Very good, in fact

Only 2 episodes in so far, loving it.

I was right to look forward to it, just finished the series, and loved it.
Episodes 4, 5 & 6 were absolute stand out - best 2-3 hours of TV since... actually, I can't think when.

GoT S01, Utopia and Good Omens were up there, but not sure they hit the high of those 3 episodes (though recency bias is a thing)

Better Call Saul. Not sure I bought the ending. Critics raving about it.

Gonna watch it after dinner - managed to avoid literally all mention of from American social media today so I'm going in blind. Cautiously optimistic/excited

Echoes on Netflix. Pretty dumb Prestige style miniseries without the magic.

Started watching the terminal list on Amazon prime. On episode 4 and really enjoying it so far.

Anyone started on Rings of Power yet?

I've just finished the first episode:
Had incredibly low expectations going into it, but pleasantly surprised.
It still feels too polished/clean/CGI, like the Hobbit trilogy, which is a shame considering its the most expensive series ever (I think?)

Obviously doesn't hold a candle to the trilogy, but it doesn't seem to be (yet, at least) falling into the traps of making it too Hollywood, like the Hobbit trilogy, and I'm a sucker for the Tolkien universe so I'm cautiously optimistic for the rest

I've put off watching it because i just know it's going to be a stain on tolkins name when the series gets going.

Don't get why they didn't invest in experienced show runners

Just finished Cobra Kai. Chuffing awesome. Never thought I would see Lawrence, Larruso, Chosen and Barnes all in the same shot, or the first 3 drunk in a limo singing eye of the tiger
