I am watching Rules of Engagement now. It is ok. 3 seasons in.

My wife and I started watching the series "Zach Morris is Trash" on Amazon.

****ing hilarious! We laughed for about 20 minutes straight.

We watched the first season of Netflix' Dark, a German sci-fi/thriller/drama. Really good show, very refreshing to watch a show with something other than English-speaking characters. Some have drawn parallels to Stranger Things, but this is a much darker and rougher show, whereas Stranger Things is more suited for younger viewing audiences.

Also watched all three seasons of Fargo. Great series! I rate the seasons 2>1>3.

I love this show. So good. @Zeph, did you watch Babylon Berlin?

Lost in Space! Alma Garrett, Captain Flynt, Parker Posey. TAKE MY MONEY!

Nope, but I'll keep an eye out for it. It's not on our Netflix, but will air on a Norwegian channel this year. Thanks!

Hans Zimmer Prague concert is on US Netflix. So many movies I didn't realize he scored.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON

Only just started watching The Same Sky on Netflix, but pretty good so far. Have been listening to a lot of German lately - Dark, Babylon Berlin, now this.

Also watching this Spanish show - El Ministerio del Tiempo - Ministry of Time, yes a time travel show.

I finally made it through the ten episode run of Westworld.  I've been trying to finish this since GOT wrapped up for the season, and man, as much as I enjoyed it, it really was a chore.  I fell asleep at least half a dozen times during the first season.  There was some nice twists and reveals for the last few episodes, and I'm hoping the second season comes out soon.

I just started watching Counterpart on Amazon Prime.  First episode was decent, although now whenever I hear parallel world my mind always drifts to memories of Fringe....

And I know it's a kids show, but Star Wars Rebels ended its four year run this week.  Of course, DIsney XD in Canada is like a week behind so I have to stay out of any threads pertaining to it and avoid any spoilers.  For those of you who enjoy the SW universe, this is a solid find once you get past the first season.

Collateral (BBC) on US Netflix was good. 4 hour miniseries.

I just added Collateral to my to-watch list.

I loved this show, one of my favorites back in the 80s.

Killing Eve is sooooo good.

I finished the ten episode season of Lost In Space today.  I’m giving it a par.

This show may skew slightly towards the teen market a little more than I’d like, but I’d totally be down with watching a second season.

Halfway through Hulu's The Looming Tower. Was hesitant to watch it because it dredges up bad memories, but this is history you don't want to forget. The book it's based on is very good. Some parts of the show a little over the top, but that's tv. Some very good veteran actors in it. Definitely worth a watch if the memory of the event is fading from your memory.

I'm watching Evil Genius on Netflix.  It's a four part documentary about a very, very bizarre murder mystery.  One of the main culprits takes batshit crazy to a whole new level.  An easy birdie.

Wife and I are watching this.  As a huge fan of the original as a kid I enjoy the parallels, but am equally frustrated by some of the ridiculousness.  Without giving anything away, in what world would Parker Posey's character Dr. Smith not have been called out for all of the obvious crap she pulls. The mom is also pretty annoying.  I have to keep reminding myself that this is the first season and they have limited time to set up all of the relevant characters ... Still fun to watch, and agree with the par rating. I have high hopes for the next season.

Lived through it… Was a big deal in Erie in, what, 2003? I'll be watching this show soon as well.
