ya charlie is far and away the least vile.
it's close for me between frank and dennis but probably dennis is most vile.

I would probably rank it:

dennis>frank>>>>>>>>>dee>mac>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>charlie.

Feel like Dennis is far and away the most vile, but I really have no idea how I would rank the others. Maybe Frank Reynolds takes the #2 spot. Charlie kind of has a childlike innocence about him that makes him less vile.

I agree, amazing show, acting and direction are top notch too. The no cut "taking the gun is gonna be easy" scene is elite along with the rochambeau scene

Parfum (Perfume) was pretty good. I like these non-English drama shows. I enjoyed Dark as well back when it came out.

Agreed, it went downhill quick. The initial premise was cool: what would happen when the umpteenth guy down the POTUS chain takes the helm because everyone else gets killed. First few episodes were good, but then it became just another law enforcement/government agents try to track down a terrorist plot-type show.

I'm enjoying this as well. Really strange and intriguing show. Almost done.

I loved Dark, can't wait for more.

So I finished Dark this past weekend. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Has taken over top spot for "Best First season of any show ever" for me. Whole thing was done incredibly IMO: character development, story line, filmography, attention to detail, creepiness. Through and through I was riveted the whole time and can't wait for Season 2.

Binge watching Cowboy Bebop, what an endearing show. Must-see for anyone who's ever been slightly curious about anime.

Kingdom (Season 1) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6611916/

In feudal Korea the Queen and her father plot to steal the throne from the Crown Prince and
install her unborn son as King. The Crown Prince finds himself fighting not only for his birthright but also against a zombie outbreak that is ravaging the southern half of the country.
Another solid Netflix Original Series that I just had to watch to the end. Loved every minute of this show.

I liked Perfume as well. It's based on the best selling German book Perfume by Patrick Suskind, published in 1985. The German origin probably accounts for why Netflix-Germany chose it.

I'm watching The Forest (French, on Netflix), also very good.

Perfume is a great show, far better than I expected it to be.

I'm 4 episodes in to Dark and it's bloody brilliant so far.

Also binged through Russian Doll today. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7520794/
A woman keeps dying on her 36th birthday and waking up again at the beginning of her birthday party, she has to work out why this keeps happening and how to fix it. Quirky and fun show.

First couple have that feel, but I'm 4 in and there's enough interesting hooks to make it worth bingeing the rest of the episodes.

Watched the first episode of Hanna on prime. Meh. It was mostly setup and really didn't grab me. However, I'll give it a few more episodes.

Agreed. I enjoyed this one a lot and it kept me very interested all the way along. Great binge show. It has a groundhog day vibe and I binged it on groundhog day (mostly).

Russian Doll didn't really do it for me. It was okay, but nothing special.

I might have to give this Perfume show a go. I really liked that Dustin Hoffman movie from a while back, and it looks like this is based on the same story. For anybody who has seen both, how do they compare?

Really digging Russian Doll through 3 episodes. I thought the pilot was fine, it hooked me nicely. Interesting concept and cool execution thus far.

Nightflyers https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6903284/

Finally managed to grind my way through this series, boy was it hard work. It started off badly but I thought by eps 4 - 5 it was beginning to find it's way. Instead it just took a nosedive into ever increasing stupidity before crashing headfirst into a really unsatisfying ending.
Would not recommend.
