Best to let the series finish first and then stream in a month rather than subscribing for multiple months. That's what I plan on doing for the Morning Show Season 2. Apple TV simply just doesn't offer enough.

I mostly agree, however there are some gems on there. My personal favorites are Mythic Quest, Ted Lasso, and Defending Jacob. I have high hopes for Foundation, but haven't started it yet.

finally caught up to the latest season / most recent episode of billions, and saw the preview for season 6 that's coming in january 2022.

it's really a phenomenal show. incredible acting, great script / storylines, and enough humor sprinkled in to let you know it's not so overly serious. while certainly not as complex in its myriad storylines as shows like 'the wire,' 'the sopranos', or 'game of thrones', it is twisty enough to keep you guessing even when you know the twists are coming.

bummed about the big cast change for next season (wont spoil it here since this is an active series)...but hopeful the writers can maintain momentum.

Haven't seen it, but the trailer doesn't interest me, plus seems like a lot of things that would never make sense.

Yeah love the show, but think it has run it’s course. Season 5 would have been a good stopping point. Hope they don’t ruin it with season 6.

Watched season four and the series finale for Goliath. While not as good of season one, it was better than season two or three. What is it about Billy Bob Thorton that's captivating?

yeah that's sort of the way i see it going, unfortunately. the show is really built around that primary power dynamic (no spoilers)....and that appears to be in for a radical overhaul.

1. Billion Dollar Code on Netflix.

It is nice mini series about a small german start up company, that was screwed big by Google.

2. Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror

Documentary about 9/11 and US conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq.

yeah…quoting myself here to append my initial review of ‘midnight mass’ now that we finished it.

it had really great potential and some very interesting (although somewhat bludgeoning) themes about religion and zealotry. There was also some decent character development that kept me engaged during the build up to episode 6. shit got crazy — in a good way — in episode 6 and made me hopeful that the series could fulfill its premise. unfortunately, for me, the final episode was a huge let down and copped out of some the real dynamics that it had put into play earlier.

I binged through Squid Game in one day, probably one of the easiest shows to binge I've watched in a while, so much tension and suspense, and fantastic acting and great characters all around. Really enjoyable especially episode 6, although I'm not sure how I feel about the final scene of the show, but apparently there may be a season 2 which I am greatly looking forward to.

Succession is back on Sunday. So fucking good. Just rewatched some episodes from Series 2 last night

Best show on TV!

Billions has jumped the shark, it used to be good! Now it's just gone a bit ridiculous
