And the young Rock (one of them!) plays Young Black Adam (or whatever) in Black Adam.

Finished series 4 of the UK Ghosts, which I think is out in January on HBO Max (hopefully with their Christmas special which obviously isn't out yet). A good but not great season, imo.

My wife made me watch a recent episode of the US Ghosts, which was fine. Original is better, and at 6 or so episodes a season, much easier to complete.
Agreed with the above. UK shows are driving me nuts with their short seasons. We're finally getting season 2 of The Cleaner (Greg Davies) soon, with the new Christmas special airing in a week or so. Can't wait for that one.

S02 of The Cleaner was just released, finally. Long wait for 6 episodes.

I’m re-watching Futurama and I’m taken aback by how much lower quality the Comedy Central episodes are

Finished The New Pope and Silvio Orlando needs to win something for his performance. He's ridiculous.

Started my 6th rewatch of deadwood. It's been at least 5 years. I always remember thinking it starts slow. What a bad take. It's nonstop intensity. Seems like the streak of getting better every time i watch it will be extended. And still my favorite tv show/movie of all time

There was a stretch of two years where I watched all of Deadwood, Justified, Dexter, Sopranos (twice), and Gilmore Girls. That was my heyday.

I still haven't seen Justified. I've heard it's worth watching

Justified is great.

Justified is great.

And there is a limited series coming out this year.

Eight years after he's left Kentucky, Givens is now is based in Miami, balancing life as a marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. A chance encounter on a Florida highway sends him to Detroit and he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent sociopath who's already slipped through the fingers of Detroit's finest once and wants to do so again

Something bad has to happen with Zava. I wonder if him signing the contract as your welcome is going to be an issue, or Nate's squad is going to try and hurt him?

I got about halfway through episode one of season 3 of Barry and haven't gone back. I enjoyed the first two seasons, but it was far from one of my favorites. Not sure why. I'll probably binge 3 and 4 when they are done airing. Maybe.

BBC’s Ghosts to end after this next season (5). Looking forward to the farewell season.

I’m surprised it went as long as it did. That’s not typical for a British series.

Still waiting for S4 to hit HBO Max.

Finally getting around to Miracle Workers. Not what I thought it was going to be. It's hilarious.

Ted Lasso

Ted Lasso
Is it a love rectangle? Jack wants Keeley, Keeley is having second thoughts about Jamie, Roy still has it for Keeley, and Shandy wants anything that moves. The predicted yet unwanted Nate redemption arc is set. He's seen Rupert is a clown and keeps wanting to apologize to Ted because he knows right from wrong. Rebecca's family is the team, not children of her own. A big question is will the series end with Ted and Michelle back together? That smile at the end of their phone call was probably the first time in their relationship that he's voiced displeasure and seemed like a tangible human to her in a very long time. The constant optimism is what drove her away, is this an opening to come back.
A lot has happened in the last two episodes, I have a feeling some will never get unpacked. Like Colin is gay. Um, okay. Not sure I need a major storyline on it because the main characters already have enough going. There's a part of me that really hopes they release a mock Trent Crimm book on the season too. It'd be worth the read.

I agree and echo your sentiments. I personally believe that the series ends with him moving back to the states to be with his estranged wife. Also, Jamie will score the GWG in the final game of the season, cementing his place as the top player on the squad. I really want that to happen.

Did you mean The Night Agent? If so, I thought it was pretty good as well. If not, all I see with the same title is a Russian horror film from 2004.

Jamie's redemption-esque arc has been one of my favorite things on the show.

Man, if they get it close to the books...it's gonna be good.

I attempted to watch Extrapolations, which might be the first Apple TV+ miss. Just a really heavy handed eco-calamity series with a great cast. Couldn't get through the first episode.

Oops, you're right. The Night Agent is on the night watch, so got it mixed up.

Reminds me of a Tom Clancy novel. Helps that I'm rereading Red Rabbit right now
