Seen 3 episodes of the The Witcher, love it. You know how you know its good all these "woke" gaming sites are complaining about it. "Not close enough to the game and books." The hypocrisy is not lost on me they attack those people who make the same complaints about Star Wars.
I enjoyed episode 1 a lot. F$ck the critics.
Rise of Skywalker was very good also. Unreal some of the “reviews” I have been reading.

Mr. Robot's final episode last night completed the arc started with the show's first episode.

One of my top shows of the decade and one that stuck the landing, IMO.

Some beautifully realized moments, artful cinematography, great performances by the entire cast. The final season was one of the show's best and a fine conclusion for the series.

This show has been a wild ride. Always weird and uncomfortable, and I don't 'like' any of the characters, but had some damn incredible episodes and moments.

I'm kinda surprised we still got no idea what Whiterose's 'machine' did, or that the show never circled back on Tyrell after he found whatever it was in the woods.

I scarcely remember the first season.

Supposedly there are hints in the earlier season of Elliott being an MPD manifestation.

Not sure I would put it up in the pantheon with BB, Wired, Sopranos, etc.

Maybe it would hold up better as a binge, because the irregular gaps between seasons made it difficult to follow the story.

QFT. Great unique show, great characters and acting, satisfying finale. Season 2 almost lost me - but now I want to rewatch it.

Finished the final episode of The Mandalorian and it’s a damn good show. Solid use of the Star Wars universe. Tip of the cap to Jon Favreau.

Dare I say that the final episode of The Mandalorian may have been a little bit better than The Rise of Skywalker. :P

It was a fantastic first season. So happy they already have season 2 in the works.

Definitely going to pick up the Disney plus free trial to watch this.

Finished The Witcher over Christmas. Except for a couple of casting choices and the ball sack Nilfgaardian armor (embarrassing costume design) I really enjoyed it alot.

Watched the Mandalorian. Its well done. Enjoyed it!

Now Im going to cancel Disney+ after the week trial or maybe keep it one month and watch a couple of movies I havent seen yet.

Compared to Netflix, whos trial convinced me to keep it a while, or Amazon Prime its very devoid of content.

Finished up Banshee last week (4 seasons). If you love violence, sex, and well....more violence, this is the show for you. Good characters, decent writing, hot girls, and the story lines keep you entertained. It's on Amazon. By the way, I can't believe the main actor in Banshee (Antony Starr) is the lead actor in The Boys (Homelander).

Really enjoyed all 8 episodes of the Mandalorian. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, but it kept me interested throughout.

The English Game just dropped on Netflix. I just finished the first episode and I cannot recommend it enough.

I had low expectations starting AppleTV's Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet, but I've been pleasantly surprised. The mid-season bottle episode starring Jake Johnson and Cristin Milioti feels like a one episode story arc from a Halt and Catch Fire for the console generation.

Amazing Stories on AppleTV+ is also a solid show. Only 3 episodes on there so far but they were all entertaining. Ep 3 was my favorite. A grandfather whose grandson is into comic books and superheroes acquires super powers. Good stuff.

Watching Hunters on Amazon. Pacino is excellent as is rest of the cast. Reminds me of Tarantino produced show. Recommended.
