Task on HBO. Incredible.

Only two episodes in but its checking every box for what I look for in a TV Show.

Very good show so far.

Just started watching Regime (I think it's HBO).  Kate Winslett plays a super quirky leader of a fictitious European country.  Pretty well done.  2 episodes in and definitely want to see where it goes.
I gave it 2 episodes and really didn't care for it.

It's definitely offbeat.

I binged through both House of Guinness and Black Rabbit this weekend.

They're both worth watching, but they're both flawed.  Black Rabbit's two leads outperformed a script that had a few too many nonsense character decisions for me.  I think they got 3.4 of the way there with some interesting story concepts that they could have explored, but cut some corners.

House of Guinness could have used some more star power, or something.  I just didn't feel an attachment to the main characters as much as I should have.  It's watchable, but it's not compelling in the way that Peaky Blinders was (another historical drama created by Steven Knight).

I watched the first epoisode of Black Rabbit, and kinda feel the same.  I know there will be a twist, but the beginning being the end seems to not work so well in this case.  It's like watching the Titanic!

The third seasomn of Tulsa Kings started.  It's very cheesy and over the top, but I can't help myself.  I still enjoy it.
Yup

Working my way through season 1 of 'The Pitt'. It is intense, sometimes straying into melodrama, but compelling television.

My daughter just talked up A Thousand Blows on Hulu.  I watched the first 2 episodes and only necessary sleep kept me from binging more.  I thought it was excellent and look forward to continuing with the story.
