I liked Reservation Dogs but in small doses - what struck me most is how it is universal (teenagers in a rural area) and how specific it is, too (Indigenous culture). It also helps if you read what Native Americans have to say because some of the humor is cultural. It seems crazy that there was no legit representation for Native American and indigenous teens on US TV till the 2020s though.

Due to all the thumbs up here, I started Slow Horses. I am intrigued so far but will finish the 1st season before I give an opinion.
Am still watching Happy Valley on BBC as it airs, because, WOW.
In fact I would binge watch it all if I could* but they only release 1 episode a week. 
If youâve not seen it, you can binge watch Season1&2 before Season 3 comes to AMC. Lots of plots but theyâre all very clearly delineated.
*For âStrikeâ, after the 1st episode was broadcast, you could watch it all on iPlayer, which I did over 2 days (itâs 4 1 hour episodes).

Loved Slow Horsesâexplaining Norway to a dog!
Then binged on Bad Sisters. Completely different kind of show.
Gotta check out Happy Valley while I am on this Brit kick.

iâll try slow horses soon. Just finished Bad sisters. At first i thought it was a dark comedy; but it really just turned into a dark show without comedy. but . . . iâd give it a thumbs up I suppose.

Finished all three seasons of Jack Ryan. First season was the best IMO. Have to figure out what to binge next.

Yes, for a while. There were aspects that we liked, and we may go back to it someday. If memory serves me correctly, it was too heavy on the teen sex exploits for us.

I finished up Season 1 of The Recruit last night.
As the season progressed, I felt the storyline got much better. Though I realize, character arcs have to start somewhere.
I wish, like Jack Ryan, each seasonâs storyline is done, not a big fan of cliffhangers. But Iâll be anticipating Season 2.

We did! I canât really say much without spoiling. But I am not convinced that you can watch the episodes in any order. I feel like it would ruin some episodes to know what happened later on.
Basically it was a fun distracting unrealistic caper series.
Almost every day for the past week in the evening I watched one episode of Emily in Paris and then one episode of Wednesday. (I had Covid so it gave me something to look forward to in my evenings in isolation). It was an interesting combination. Iâm moderate about both. Emily is about the clothes and scenery for me. Iâm not excited about the cliffhanger but Iâll probably watch the next season anyway. Wednesday is not my usual type of show but I enjoyed the humorous parts and the violence/horror didnât bother me much.

I really did like Bad Sisters. It felt like a dark comedy to me.

Totally agree that The Recruit is highly unrealistic, lol. Thatâs what initially drew me in while hub was watching (âThatâs not how it works in an organization like that! Youâd need multilevel sign-offisâ etc.). But the relatively well-done character development, humor, and interesting plots kept me watching!

i mean, i will give the show a thumbs up. I liked the ending. Itâs just that the abuse and heartbreak he caused was real and i just lost the humor in that all. I hope i never meet someone like that IRL

Late to game, but we just finished the first season of Ted Lasso. Itâs incredibly funny, entertaining, and well-acted. Jason Sudeikis is very talented.
