I like Chris Pratt so I need to checkout Terminal List. Like Looney I love the BBC shows. Luther is my favorite.
We really enjoyed Luther. We'd already seen Idris Elba in The Wire. He's such a good actor.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

The Wire is a classic hagatha. I'm watching Virgin River on Netflix now and Alone on History Channel.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

I'm still plowing my way through Supernatural. It's something to focus on on the evenings.

I don't know if this was ever made available outside of the UK but if it was, for anyone with a strong constitution, it's a very compelling drama based on true events. "Appropriate Adult" You can read about it HERE

When I'm done with Supernatural I'll take a cruise back through this thread for idea.
I have my eye on The Outer Range. Anyone watched it?

Harrowing but interesting: we watched it when it first came out. We are suckers for perverted killer tales both real and fictional, for instance The Bundy Tapes on the one hand and Criminal Minds on the other. Currently our main TV diet consists of Coronation Street, For All Mankind and Grimm with occasional forays into other shows, most recently Code 404 which looks quite promising a bit of lightweight froth from our first look at season 1 episode 1 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9169784/

Finished Sandman and I did enjoy it. Have started Outer Range and so far so good; a cross between X Files and Yellowstone maybe. And yes, House of Dragons is coming!!

I finally finished Supernatural and the the last part of Ozark (I did NOT see that coming!), and started on The Wheel of Time.
I was reading those books when they first came out. The first volumes were so very good, but I thought the series wandered on far, far too long, and then Robert Jordan died, leaving his magnums opus in the hands of a far lesser writer. I'll be interested to see how long the show runs, given how very long the material is; they'll have to do a lot of judicious pruning along the way, I think.

Last night we finished the third season of For All Mankind: a brilliant series but Linda now has withdrawal symptoms and it will be at least a few months before season four, so we may have a rerun...

I finished Season 1 of WOT, and yes, they did a LOT of pruning -- like skipping out most of the second book, which I heartily applaud since it was mostly about the political machinations in the White Tower if I remember correctly. They left out the boring bits. WOT is a good story but Jordan dragged it on, and on, and on and on until I started to get impatient with the whole thing. When Jordan died I just gave up on the series since i couldn't remember much of it and I could not bring myself to re-read the first 11 books. Hopefully the series will continue to be good, and continue to leave out the boring bits, so I can finally see the ending of the story.
Now I'm re-watching The Expanse. We only got to the end of Season 4 and then forgot about it. I'm disappointed that they cancelled the show without completing the entire saga, but apparently there is a reasonable ending.

The Expanse certainly warrants a re-watch rather than just trying to pick up where you left off. I too was disappointed it ended at the point that it did. For All mankind passed me by. I will check it out.
