If you are a fan of movies/shows like White Lotus you will love the series The Perfect Couple. It is absolutely entertaining! I only have one more episode to watch (the finale) and can't wait to see who-dun-it! It's one of those that everyone is a good suspect. It's sex, scandal, rich and famous laughter at the absurdity and then again you know that in all honesty this could so easily be a true crime story. Also, if you enjoyed Tiger King, Chimp Crazy the new docuseries is not miss! Chimp Crazy.Ana

Oldbroad, Grimm is a lot of fun. Good choice!
I'm re-watching season 1 of Rings of Power.

Oldbroad, I thought Grimm was excellent and I hope you continue to enjoy it! Ana, i might have to give The Perfect Couple a look: thanks for the recommendation.

Trivia about The Perfect Couple: Eve Hewson is Bono's (U2) daughter. Wow! I did not know that! She's good and cute!

Might give that a try now that I have reached the end of Continuum: that last season was more than a little confusing, and I did not entirely understand the provenance/relevance of the Indian mystic type apart from his convenience in achieving closure...! However, my only other real complaint was that the final scene involving Kellog could have been a bit more convincing/interesting.

Lex, everytime I thought Stranger Things might be a little bit YA for my liking, something happened that kept me engaged. It ultimately kept me watching right to the end. Just finished Lord of the Rings. I thought the last 2 episodes were particularly strong (the penultimate one especially), and will look forward to the next series. Will start a rewatch of Silo next prior to the second season launching next month.

Eve Hewson was also in this completely crazy series called Behind Her Eyes which you need to go into with as little knowledge as possible. It is so very worth a watch I really enjoyed Behind her eyes too. This season of The Rings of Power seemed much darker than season one to me. Amazon is really doing a good job on this series. I'm with you on Silo flotsam. I just watched season one again to refresh my memory for the new season.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Much darker indeed SQF and I agree with your Amazon take. A few episodes into the Silo rewatch and I am even more invested in the next season. For those of you that like all things zombie, you should check out Black Summer. I mention it only because I learned today that after two seasons it is no more, which is a shame. Don't be put off by any commentary that links it to Z-Nation; they couldn't be more different. And in my streaming feed I got a 'watch again' notice for The Lazarus Project. Its a lot of time manipulating fun, with a particular (and important) gaming aspect .

It always seems like Slow Horses goes by so fast. The new season of Outer Banks starts this Thursday on Netflix.

Ran across the original silent film Nosferatu in "barely there" color on Prime video last night. I had never watched the whole movie before. It was fascinating and very cool. I can only imagine how it impressed its audience back in 1922!

We just started watching NCIS Origins last night and it looks to be an excellent series with a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

The second season of Lioness is starting later this month. I really enjoyed the first season. It has a top notch cast.

I agree Draclvr re Nosferatu; the original is a great little film. If you haven't seen the remake with Klaus Kinski check that one out as well, and there's another made by Robert Eggers that is about to be released. You can't have too many vampires

I've watched bits and pieces of the one with Klaus Kinski, but never all of it. There's just something about the music which tells the story since the film is silent!
And, yes... never too many vampires!

Further to the silent Nosferatu, Shadow of the Vampire is worth watching if you can find it. Its a clever movie about the making of the silent movie.

I will definitely look for Shadow of the Vampire. I have to say the original Nosferatu is probably the scariest vampire I have ever seen in movies.
