I'd also add (that didn't see mentioned):

4 Blocks

Romanzo Criminale

Il Capo dei Capi (Corleone)

La Piovra

Fariña

Gigantes

I was enjoying 4 blocks on hbo but one of the episodes in season 2 had the subtitles far off sync with the video, made me ragequit

I've enjoyed La Brea just from the commercials - it looks like the worst show ever made.

Hanna

Enjoyed S1 for what it was. S2 got a little worse with some typical conspiracy tropes. Watch S3E1 and it's...not too good

7.9 on imdb, but i thought it was great. i mean sure it's fake, and whatever, but i had a great time watching it.

i thought it was better than all the other korean shows i watched, except for squid game


Deutschland 83

east german spy goes to west germany in 1983

i loved season one, but never saw season 2
Need to finish My Name...forgot abt that one.

Deutschland 86 and 89 (I think??) were also pretty good. Think the middle one was the best IIRC

Yea, that was surprising last night, along with an appearance by Snoop Dogg, and Kevin Hart sitting on John Lithgow's lap.

The casting for Diff’rent Strokes was perfect and Kevin Hart stole the show. I’d give it an A+, Facts of Life was ok.

Sunderland 'Til I Die is good but a bit depressing to see how it seems their fans live and mostly die with the results of the team

unsure about your background in english socioeconomics but this is very much the point

imagine Alabama if they had to compete economically with new york and la didn't have college sports as a fallback option

roll tide

amazing series, love the dynamics of the owners from london constantly being told they're not from around there and meanwhile they're trying to stay upbeat and cheery and unknowingly just give the area a ton of backhanded compliments

watched the spurs one and it was good but really focused on player/coach relationships so thought it'd be more of the same with the mci one but that one is way more detailed and much more informative but yet not quite as compelling

not too familiar but I do love soccer/futball

Spoiler:
It was so depressing seeing them get relegated back to back and not seeing any way out in the near future

The Godfather of Harlem Se 1 is on Hulu now. I binged the whole first season yesterday and added EPIX to my YouTube TV to watch season 2 and some other EPIX originals.

Yea, GOH is good, if you have Epix, Condor is pretty good also.

I'm only halfway through S1 and really liking it so far. Will be interested to see if it can keep up the quality and stretch over it's three seasons. Also, I believe there may be a fourth on the way.

Station Eleven on HBO max is great so far. 100% on rotten tomatoes according to a Google news feed article I read today.

Derry girls is great but doesn’t require knowledge of the catholic Protestant situation IMO although it would help
