I enjoyed Maul: Shadow Lord.   Some of the best SW animation I've seen.  The lightsaber fights alone are incredible.  Story was so-so but satisfying enough.  Does a good job of expanding that grey area between good guys and bad guys and expounds on their perspective of everything.

Plus, any depiction of [that Big Bad] (omitted for spoiler reasons) is pretty awesome.

Absolutely.

Finished Bingeing "Death By Lightning" a few days ago. It is as good as all the YouTube history buffs said it was. Also, it's a good cautionary tale for people, such as myself, who got run out of a public sector job because of political machinations outside of our control

I enjoyed the first season of Rooster. Steve Carell is awesome and the overall goofiness of it makes you feel good.

I'm also just beginning The Americans (old but good). I watched The Diplomat and figured might as well watch Keri Russell's other recent drama.

There are a lot of good horror / supernatural shows streaming right now:

Widow's Bay
The Boroughs
Devil in Silver
From

I find them all very entertaining.

I've caught a couple episodes of Rooster and enjoyed it.  Need to circle back.  Americans was a definite faviorite when it was on.

I've been watching One Piece on Netfix.  I'm guessing I'm a little older than the target audience, but I've been enjoying the look of the world and the characters.  Perfect mush for my brain right before bed.

I have one more episode of The Boys to go.  They're definitely not super subtle in their political satire! 

Dan Levy's new series, Big Mistakes, on Netflix has some very good characters and is worth a few chuckles every episode.  From the makers of Schitt's Creek.

Yup

Decided to rewatch The Man in the High Castle.  The show explores a what-if scenario where the Axis powers won World War II and took control of the U.S.  The Eastern half and Midwest is ruled by Nazi Germany.  The West Coast is governed by the Empire of Japan, with a neutral zone along the Rocky Mountains.  If you like dystopian thrillers, this show is for you.  When the pilot aired in 2015 by Amazon, it was the most-watched pilot ever.  Currently streaming on Netflix.

Thank you for this. I haven?t heard of it, love the premise.  Looking forward to getting started. 

I?m a little embarrassed to recommend Brockmire, but I think Hank Azaria is brilliant in it. If you like quirky and dark comedy and are ok with grotesque, you may like it. I don?t watch this with my wife and it is not for kids. Azaria plays a disgraced baseball announcer with an alcohol problem. There are some episodes I wouldn?t recommend but there are also some great ones. Azaria is a voice guy and his Brockmire is terrific.  I think the show is leaving Netflix in a couple of weeks.

That's funny, I'm 2 of 4 seasons into Man in the High Castle. Not my usual type of show, but still really interesting. I only got started on it because I randomly watched The Diplomat, which also co-stars Rufus Sewell. The Diplomat shares some parallels to House of Cards, and it's a show I'd also recommend, but I wasn't crazy about season 3. Luckily, there will be a season 4 since it is a current show. Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford, who are both real selling points to me, come along in season 2 and really do help round out the cast.

The Man in the High Castle was great.  Sort of put Amazon Prime on the map as a studio.  The costuming and sets are great.  And the main German dude (Smythe was it?) is a well played complex antagonist.
Yup
