Anyone watching Maniac on Netflix? Looks interesting haven't delved into it yet.
I just started Maniac, looks good and dense. I'm also planning to check out Mr. Inbetween on FX.
Loved The Sinner now two seasons
On Prime
Bill Pullman is mighty!

Watched the pilot of Sneaky Pete and really liked it. I thought it was going to go one way and it quickly jinked my expectations and turned into a very cleverly-plotted and well-characterized show. Note to show-runners - that's how you set up a pilot! Free-flowing, natural exposition, set up the scenario for the show succinctly and with humor. I can't wait to get into more of it.
Sneaky Pete's first season was great! Couldn't get as into season 2, I believe it's helpful to binge one after the other, I forgot too much.
I'm continuing to watch NYPD Blue on Amazon. Really enjoying it, the nostalgia and the music, among other things. I'm up to Season 4.

I binged Prisoners of War (the Israeli show Homeland was based on) and wow. It was so different from Homeland - much more emotional. I think I cried at some point in almost every episode. The first season is almost all about the emotions and reactions of the ex prisoners and their loved ones and a lot of flashbacks to violence and torture they endured. The second season is the more "Homeland-y" but again it's very different. Unfortunately, the Hulu subtitles are not as good as Netflix. They don't tell you what's on papers the characters read, or note if they are speaking Arabic or Hebrew (which at certain parts is hard to discern but important to the storyline). Definitely recommend.
Yes - this is one case where I thought the Israeli original was much better than the American take.
FWIW, I saw Hatufim on Netflix. I can't comment on the subtitle issue, though, because I wouldn't have looked for subtitles for the Hebrew. I do think, however, that I recall descriptions of writing on paper.
Have you watched Hostages? Also very good. And I imagine you've watched Fauda...the second season is phenomenal.
Episode 1 was HYSTERICAL! There is no reason to assume this will not be a blockbuster smart and funny series.
I am fairly new to binge TV watching and love it. Most recently, Designated Survivor, which is candy for political conspiracy fans....enjoyed The Americans, probably for the same reasons.... Justified....Safe, a Harlan Corbin story set in London....etc.
Making a Murderer, Part 2 is on Netflix. Found part 1 quite captivating. Good write-up in the NY Times today.

You can catch it on Netflix. It’s a show based out of Australia about a lawyer, his career, his family and ensuing shenanigans.
I like Maniac - a few more episodes left. It feels like an extended Black Mirror episode.
I tried getting into Man in High castle season 3 - but like Sneaky Pete, I didn't remember all of the details from where the last season left off and I didn't have any interest to try.

I really enjoy Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat on Netflix.
Watched the first episode and I do love all things Italy...but damn she eats and eats and eats and I was too stuffed to watch the next one!

Ozark season 2 was excellent on par with season 1 IMO.
My latest binge is The Marvelous Mrs Maisel - it's great - only a few episodes in.
I totally agree with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. No ups and downs. Great writing, great acting all the way! Just finished Season 1 and can't wait for Season 2, sometime this year I hope (and the creator said as much I think).

Totally agree, just finished second. Great TV, just wish those Brits would work on their diction! May have to go to subtitles!

Watched a couple of I’m Sorry episodes on Netflix. A comedy that actually made me laugh.

The Florence episode is divine. On my upcoming trip I am seeking out that gelato place. Those steaks! HOLY GOD.

I enjoyed Amazon's Jack Ryan more than I should have, but it left me with a ton of questions and needlessly changes backstories for nearly all the familiar characters.
