It could just be called "What are you watching?"
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I'll be done with Schitt's Creek tonight and on to something else. I 'm thinking Ozark, the latest season of Narcos, or The Wheel of Time,

Have you seen any of the seasons of Ozark? They are really very good so that would be my pick. Plus you will be ready for the final part next month.

What are you Watching is much more appropriate!

Finished The Fear Index - not bad at all if you do not mind a touch of sci-fi in the mix, and also quite enjoyed Our House (another four part thriller), although segments told in flashback became quite hard to follow at times. Despite a couple of strong cast members and Jed Mercurio's involvement in the production, Trigger Point ultimately proved rather lightweight but still quire good fun. We watched a couple of episodes of The Fringe but sadly it did not grab us: I think it was the balance between jokey and serious not really working for us. We still have Grimm as our favourite staple (impossible to take seriously but played with a wonderfully straight face, and some clever touches), apart from Coronation Street which is the only soap we follow.

I'm really enjoying Ozark. None of the main charaters is particularly likeable, and Martin clearly broke bad years ago. It's always a credit to to the writers and actors when you root for bad people anyway.
That's too bad about Fringe. As I say, it's monster of the week for much of the first season. It becomes much more drama and less comedy as it moves along.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Ozark is living up to its billing. A real nail-biter, moving right along.

I can't wait for the second half starting in April!
I'm also working my way through the second season of Snowpiercer. It's dumb, but I love it!

I've watched some dumb-but-charming shows in my time -- Chuck, for one. It was completely silly but somehow they carried it off and it became quite compelling as the seasons went on.

Snowpiercer is kind of a classic depiction of how humans never change, even in the face of extinction. A nuclear winter has destroyed the planet. A train 1,000 cars long is circling the globe over and over in perpetual motion to keep it powered to provide a life for about 1,000 people - the last ones alive. There are cars devoted to producing food, recycling waste, housing, entertainment, education, medical care, etc. Of course, a system of "class" has evolved. Naturally at the top are the rich who paid millions to be ensured a luxury suite and the finest food to the laborers and a thriving drug trade. The tailies are a group of about 400 people who stowed away on the train and are not supposed to be there. They are the lowest of the low and barely survive because the upper train doesn't provide them enough food. Of course, there appears an evil powerful villain and an unlikely hero in dreadlocks!

It actually sounds like fun. Maybe I'll have a look. In the meantime, Ozark is keeping me up late.

Does anyone watch Upload? I just finished season 1 and they just released Season 2. It's surprisingly good and a very unique storyline. It's been refreshing! It's on Amazon Prime Here is info.

I watched the first season of Upload and quite enjoyed it. I would need a recap though before I could start on the enxt one! The Snowpiercer movie was excellent, and I have been watching the series. It drags a bit at times but I have stuck with it. The most recent episode was just last night down here. A British series with Martin Freeman called The Responder has just popped up. I might have to give that a go. It may have been mentioned here before so I will have to have a look back. And glad Ozark is hitting the spot hagatha.

The Responder was very bleak but well done with Martin Freeman in an unusual role (for him): we did not stick with it as we usually look for a lighter mood with so much gloom in current reality!

I love Ozark but right now I am really enjoying the new seasons of Peaky Blinders and Outlander. On Netflix I like The Last Kingdom. Valhalla and The Adam Project.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Wife and I are watching The Last KingdomIt's a good fictional yarn about England in the mid to late 800s based loosely King Alfred's accomplishments. Good series to binge on
