I'm with you hagatha. House of the Dragon was so good and I did like The Rings of Power too. Peripheral has a lot of twists. I like it!
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Oh, good. I'm glad Peripheral is entertaining.
I think I might watch the last season of Peaky Blinders next. I'm sorry that the wonderful actress Helen McCrory died and won't be in it. She was incredible.
After that I think I'll check out The Boys.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Just started watching SAS: Rogue Heroes which is from the same stable as Peaky Blinders - looks quite promising and an interesting blend of music in the soundtrack! https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/sas-rogue-heroes-bbc-soundtrack/About to try The Devil's Hour on Amazon Prime Video: has anyone else seen that yet?

Just watch Enola Holmes 2 on Netflix. If you enjoyed the first movie you will like this one too.

Watching the final season of Manifest on Netflix. They broke it down half this year and half next year. I don't like having to wait a whole year for the second half of a final season.

I will check out The Devils Hour Lex. It looks like my sort of thing. I mentioned The Patient earlier. Having finished, it is excellent and brave dramatic tv.

Am certainly enjoying Devil's Hour. Many thanks for the tip Got to the end and was a bit disappointed by the final episode but still thought it was well worth a watch. Have just moved onto the most recent season of Hidden.

We just watched the movie made of the novel "Where the Crawdads Sing." It was quite good, but I kind of wish I hadn't already read the book!
Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

I liked The Rings of Power too soot. it made me feel like I was watching a movie instead of a series. I think I saw the Crawdads movie is on Netflix. I'll check it out Draclvr. For those of you who watched The Devil's Hour what did you think of Lucy's decision at the end? I love those shows where you are trying to figure out what is going on all the way through the series.

I think I am in the manipulation camp as well and somehow the timelines have merged. But it isn't clear I liked the ambiguity, but could have done without so much exposition. It wouldn't have been easy though to get things to where they landed. A season 2 would be intriguing.

I've just started to re-watch The Terror, on Amazon Prime. It's a fantastic adaptation of Dan Simmon's novel of the same name, a fictionalized version of the Franklin Expedition's doomed journey. It's intelligent, has a fantastic cast, and is wonderfully suspenseful and creepy.
The second season, which I have not seen, is a different storyline altogether.

The Terror is really good, and season 2 is well worth a watch also. Its been a while since I watched it so it might have to be added to the 'do again' list.

I MUST watch The Terror! I have read the book twice and absolutely love it. Very excited as I did not even know it existed. Thank you, hagatha!
EDIT: Well, shucks. Each episode is $2.99 and it's not available on AMC any more.
Longmire was a great series... kind of a Yellowstone "lite!"

The Terror is on Amazon Prime here in Canada.
It's one of my very favourite Dan Simmons books. The first two Hyperion books are fantastic, too.
Edit: the series is very true to the book although the ending is a bit less ambiguous. It's a superb adaptation. Can you get a one-month Prime subscription just for that?
