I found that recap of The Witcher remarkably unhelpful, but it led me to this one which explained a lot that confused me the first season! The Witcher Season 1 and Timeline Explained - YouTube
Longer recap than I like so probably wonāt watch, but I found the tv boards helped me all through the prior season - no spoilers from those who read the books or played the games, but their understanding was useful in understanding the tv show after each episode.
I just ran it at 1.25 speed. So not quite so long!

@jojo14,
Glad you mentioned it. Just found out Season 3, the final season, will be filmed in 2022 and we wonāt see it until later in the year or early 2023.!!!
For Death in Paradise fans, there was a 2021 Christmas episode, available on Britbox (could also be elsewhere, do not know).

Last night I finished binging Season 2 of Emily in Paris and my review is that the settings and locations were spectacular so worth watching. Re the plot - oy. (The Yiddish equivalent of meh.)

We watched the first of the season, and yeah. Gorgeous, but not sure I want to get involved with her again. The time off has increased my tiredness of her. But maybe worth it for those settings.
In between seasons, we binged Call My Agent, which gave us settings plus real characters and plots, so we are spoiled.

Hubby didnāt like Emily in Paris. So based on feedback here we tried Call My Agent ā¦ after which he said heād rather go back to Emily. We donāt binge watch it. We save the short episodes for nights when we want something extra and lighter after watching a movie or 2-hour Silent Witness.
Iāve seen Derry Girls recommended on her numerous times but Iāve watched the first two episodes and found itās humor silly and crudeā¦and a bit mean spirited. Are the first few episodes representative of the show or is it like Schittās Creek which got sweeter and more subtle with itās comedy as it progressed?

Hmmm. Mean spirited combined with silly and crude ( guy has no bathroom to use? I just donāt see the humor) is generally a big no go for me. Not sure this is the show for me. Guess I need to keep looking
Derry Girls is an absolutely perfect show for what it is. If you donāt like it thatās fine. My husband and I couldnāt stand the first episode of Line of Duty and nixed that pretty quickly although a lot of folks on this thread seem to love it.

I disliked Line of Duty also. But that was because I donāt find the overarching story about anti- corruption at all interesting. I find the idea of Derry girls very interesting. Growing up in a difficult time and place but carrying on with life. I can handle crudeness when combined with warm-hearted ness ( I love Iām Sorry). But I truly hate mean spiritedness.
I tried Derry Girls a couple years ago and couldnāt get into it. Then I put on closed caption and watched just a couple weeks ago. This time I absolutely loved it. I did the same thing with Schittās Creek. The characters grow on you.

I have been watching Schittās Creek on and off for more than a year. After first episodes I was ready to quit, but based on posts here and feedback from my sister I continued. Usually I watch while exercising.

I havenāt watched āIām Sorryā so I canāt give a comparison there, but I donāt find āDerry Girlsā to be mean-spirited at all. They are just supposed to be teenagers and so there is plenty of banter and bickering but not in an overall spirit of mean-ness.
