I'm enjoying For All Mankind so far. Space stuff and 60s/70s is right up my alley so it's great. I wonder if the show will eventually progress to an alternate reality in present time. I think that would be really cool to see the assumed progress of a space desiring world.

One annoying thing is the main character is supposed to have all these mental issues which is fine, but she's just a generic drug addict for 6 episodes, then suddenly she has a maniac part of bipolar episode and then she's depressed for an episode. It felt weird how slotted her mental illnesses were.

Anyways one big big positive is the art direction and cinematography is A+, better than most other shows I've seen. I don't think I've ever had a TV series where I tuned out the story for the most part and was just watching the visuals, but I did for this show.

5/10

Pretty much agree....art/cinematography were off the charts on this, the carnival scenes especially and depictions of drug induced trances... also top acting by the two leads.....i give it 7/10 on that alone... otherwise story was so extreme into porn, kinkiness and drugs that it was hard to for me to relate to anybody in it .

Mayans MC got renewed for season 3. Season 2 just finished last week. It's a pretty good show if you like SOA.

Final season of Power mid season finale yesterday had a pretty funny ending. Will make it pretty interesting when it continues on January 5th. Of course some ridiculous stuff happens on the show but its still good.

Pearson, Suits spin off got cancelled. I never got into it.

Only watched a few minutes of "See", no opinion yet.

Agreed on The Morning Show. Definitely a binge style show. Don't like having to wait because it'll get better as it goes on. They've set the stage for some interesting stuff.

As for Dickinson... I am SO not the demographic for this show. Its kind of interesting but I don't think I'll continue.

I don't think so, but still has Chucky wearing the gloves.

Also Season 2 finale is tonight, not last week. Got my shows mixed up.

I started it and gave up. As the season went on, it became less about space and more about relationships. Acting was good, though.

LOL right?? As they were flying a chopper to the Venezuelan Presidential Palace, I was like, "wait a minute, does Venezuela not have ANY kind of air force?" What about just some basic air traffic control that would, I assume, notify the government if they picked up an unknown aircraft heading right at the seat of government.

Nothing to watch these daus if you are binging and won't settle for medocrity, have to wait one year i guess. The last few good ones include:

-Mindhunter S2
-Mr. Inbetween
-Vice principals
-Succession
-Goliath S3

Eberything else seems to be garbage, i dunno.

FFS i am having to watch parks and recreaation.

new season of get shorty is worth watching.

we have similar tastes, mr inbetween is my fav current show n succession damn good as well.

vice principals was great as well and while not as good you'll like righteous gemstones if you liked VP.

Was looking for a new comedy to watch and somehow hadn't heard of Vice Principals, so definitely will check it out. Also love Walton Goggins.

Watched RG, as you said, not as good, but still watchable, also watchable - Taboo and The terror II but even less.

I tried sinner, undone, money heist etc, but never made it to the first few episodes. Will try get shorty, somehow missed it..

Taboo's worth watching just for Tom Hardy doing what he does best, being a badass (and to a lesser extent, Tom Hollander, who's great in everything).

The story is ok, but the whole voodoo thing fell completely flat for me. Didn't really add anything, wasn't explained, and felt completely unnecessary. I guess they'll go into it more in season 2.
