Continuing to rewatch The Wire with my wife (her first time). Season 4 is one of the best seasons of any television of show ever. Forgot how damn good it was.
My favorite too. So damn good.
Ditto. Also had the best version of the theme music.

S9 was a little underwhelming imo. Hoping they figger it out and get things going again here
One of the issues now with such a big cast (with fully-realized characters) is figuring out ways to give everyone adequate screen time. With short seasons (and short run-times), that can be really tough. You can end up with a bunch of unsatisfying shoehorns, which is what a lot of S9 felt like.

I watched Fincher's Zodiac after finishing Mindhunter. Excellent as well.
I watched it again. It's **** brilliant. I can see myself getting a little obsessed with this film. Mank is on netflix, I'll watch that next. After finishing Sicario. After which I'll probably want to watch Arrival again. And Prisoners. I haven't seen Prisoners yet.
I fell down a Zodiac Killer hole about a year ago. It’s such a fascinating case with so many near misses. Heck they just recent solved one his ciphers. Lots of interesting theories out there for sure.

Must say I wasn't a huge fan of "I Think You Should Leave." Aunty Donna's and in particular Astronomy Club were far better offerings as far as sketch comedy available on Netflix is concerned.
Agree with first 2 points very much. Never heard of Astronomy Club. Interesting

This is a good point. Fingers crossed for a better couple of seasons

For those of you who watch Lupin, I assume it’s best in French with subs?

Lupin Part 2 is so frustratingly hokey.
Your kid gets kidnapped and you are having a drawn out debate with your ex about stealing a car to save him. SHUT UP!

Meh, figured most people interested already watched Part 1 and knew that. My bad.

There, I’ve triple spoilered it now.

Hacks was very good. I never thought much about Jean Smart, but she was excellent as was Hannah Einbinder.

Anyone here watch Mare of Easttown? I finished it up yesterday and have mixed feelings. It was watchable and occasionally quite good, but I couldn't help but feel like the writing was trying to hard to throw viewers off. Plus some of the performances seemed a little over the top.
