Watching another old (2013) English TV series that I'm finding is pretty good; Broadchurch, starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman. I'm on Season 1, Episode 4, so no spoilers, please.

I'm overall disappointed with Monarch: Legacy of Monsters as it is simply too slow, too drama filled, and too lacking in Monsters aka Titan screen appearances! I had to wait until the final 10min of the Season Finale to be entertained.
The only positive... That episode sets of Godzilla X Kong

Young Sheldon” is an enjoyably binge-worthy show to watch.

We re-subscribed to Hulu because my wife wanted to watch A Murder at the End of the World. It seemed ok to good at the beginning but then spiraled into ridiculous and I ended up thinking it was bad.

Yup, Hollywood is still king, gotta hand it to them, although the stories and pacing of some stuff from S Korea have been quite good too.

Have you seen “The Fall?” Not British but an Irish TV show. Very good imo.

I've been watching a lot of Apple+ lately, but they are about all played out until "next" season. Time to start tuning back into NetFlix.

I keep half an eye on Cixin Liu for new material, I guess the translation from Chinese to English on Sci-Fi is quite the chore.

Tx, will check it out.

While searching for shows, I've notice that in a lot of the Brit synopsis a prevailing theme is pitting one character against another, I wonder why is that?

I can't cop Korean acting, they have a style that is very hard to watch, I call it permanent shock face.

I was wrong; not and Irish TV show but an English one that takes place in Northern Ireland. Really liked this one.
