Speaking of HBO Max, I was not impressed with the quality. WW84 was in Dolby Vision, yet did not look that good, and in a lot of scenes actually looked grainy.
Same. Watched the first WW on 4k disc before this and night and day difference.

As far as I've seen, HBO Max has the worst quality of any of the streaming services.

I've had exceptional quality with game of thrones and westworld at times.

I’d agree with this based on WW84 and browsing of other stuff.

Finally finished Season 3 of Ozark.

Not great, but enjoyable.

Btw, for those watching the queens gambit, chess.com has a play Beth Harmon feature. You can play her at various points in her life.

I was able to beat her when she beat the high school boys in that simultaneous match and I got crushed when she was playing at the Kentucky state championship. Didn’t even try anything above that.

Watched a light BBC show called "Ghosts" about a young couple that inherits an old English manor with ghosts. The ghosts are a comedy troupe that did Horrible Histories and a few other shows. Very light, only two series with six episodes each of 30 minutes or so. Just had a Christmas special on a few nights ago that was funny as well.
Simon Farnaby, nice. He's also in Detectorists, which is fabulous, but you philistines won't listen to me.
I noticed that! It isn't streaming on anything I subscribe to though.
It's on YouTube. Not a great option, of course.
It's also on IMdB TV, with commercials, here in the US. It's really great! And in the great British traditions, only a handful of episodes per season/series.

I hate the UK’s short seasons. After Life is like that. Then again, Netflix does **** like that, too. Mr. Iglesias season two was split into a 5 and 6 episode run, many months apart.

They do have a streaming service, which you get when you donate to your local or state PBS/public radio affiliate or pay $5 a month. They might have a free trial as well.

Starting watching Big Mouth finally, man is that hilariously offensive. Only partly through season one of four seasons.

Is it weird that I watched the big vagina episode of curb last night and this randomly popped up in my news feed today?

Finished this up last night, it's so good/bad/fun. Glad Daniel's hot frog wife actually got to do a little more this season. Johnny is the best. Kreese and Tory? are terrific bad guys. The flow of this show is terrific.

How long does a facebook take to go through? Probably a little while since she's in colorado, right?

Dexter Revival Finds Its Big Bad, Taps Clancy Brown as Series Regular
Big Bads don’t come any bigger or badder than this: Clancy Brown is joining Showtime’s forthcoming Dexter revival as the primary villain opposite Michael C. Hall‘s titular vigilante, TVLine has learned exclusively.

The acting vet — whose antagonistic TV credits include Carnivale and Billions — will play the series regular role of Kurt Caldwell, the unofficial mayor of the small town of Iron Lake.

Per the official character description, Kurt “realized the American dream by going from driving big rigs, just like his father did, to now owning several trucks and the local truck stop. Powerful, generous, loved by everyone — he’s a true man of the people. If he’s got your back, consider yourself blessed. But should you cross Kurt, or hurt anyone that he cares for, God help you.”

It’s unclear if Iron Lake will serve as the setting for the 10-episode revival, which will pick up in real-time, AKA seven years after the 2013 series finale. The controversial closer sent Dexter into fake death-imposed exile in the woods of Oregon (perhaps near a small town called Iron Lake?!).
