Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

1. season of Mayor of Kingstown was excellent but season 2 was a disappointment... OK-ish but not great...

A Man on the Inside Superb. Ted Danson nails this and the rest of the cast is nearly as good. Rare for old age, and aging/Alzheimers specifically, to be dealt with in so unpatronising a way. Not often laugh out loud funny but charming to the Nth degree and tugs on the feels more than a little. Anyone who has experienced an elder with Alzheimer will struggle to get through this without tears of laughter and sadness. 9/10

From the same writer who made The Good Place. I don't think it's quite as strong as The Good Place but still very good
 
Started watching Day of the Jackal and liking it so far. Hopefully it stays good.

Also curious about the new spy show The Agency with Magneto in the lead.

And then of course we also have that new spy show with Keira Knightly coming out.

We re kind of living in a great time for those with an interest in spy thrillers.
 
Has anyone watched "Say Nothing" yet? The book comes highly recommended and has been sitting on my shelf for a good 10 months. Saw that they have made a mini-series on it and it's on Disney+. Now wondering whether I should finally get to the book or watch the show first.

Finished Disclaimer. It’s a slow burn but it has a great payoff at the end.

I thought it was great except for Sasha Baron Cohen. I just can't take him serious in a serious role. Especially as the husband of Cate fkin Blanchett.

A lot of people seemed to not like it though. If i had to guess bc some scenes are clearly designed to make people feel uncomfortable. That probably also means they didn't watch it til the end and made judgment ahead of time. Which is probably one of the big messages the show is trying to send in the first place. To not judge a book by its cover.

Halfway through season 2 of rewatching Prison Break. It's such a ridiculous show but so watchable.

Mahone/William Fichtner is light years ahead of everyone else in that show in terms of acting though.

I just re-watched the entire show (after reactivating my Netflix account). I think I got as far as the start of season 4 the first time, and holy feck does it fall off a cliff at that point. S4 might be the single worst season of tv I’ve ever actually watched all the way through. S5 is obviously pretty bad too, but it was clear by S4 that they’d totally run out of ideas - in everu episode we get a random team-up, a totally predictable double-cross, and someone demanding they be given Scylla.
 
Tsunami on Disney is insane. It’s a four part documentary on the 2004 disaster the killed over 225,000 people around the Indian Ocean. Survivors and footage is devastating to say the least.
 
I dont know why anyone isnt talking about Legend of Vox Machina. If you loved Arcane, you will love this. Created by Critical Role Productions and Amazon Prime, The Legend of Vox Machina follows the misfit band of mercenaries into various adventures. I am so happy that it has been renewed for season 4. Great story, animation, funny antics, brilliant writing, and perfect voice actors to go along with it.
