Vikings Season 6- Outstanding series, satisfying ending, felt epic! Ray Stevenson was a welcome edition. There was some historical accuracies and inaccuracies . :)

The Residence (Netflix 2025+)
This is a good ensemble story, especially if you like murder mysteries. Brilliant detective Cordelia Cupp investigates murder at the White House. Renewed already, I’m only 3 episodes in, so I don’t know if the murder is solved at the end of 8 episodes.

What's the series called, and who hosts it?
 
For anyone getting ready to stream Andor who didn’t go back and watch S1 again, there’s a 15 minute video from Disney highlighting S1 highlights.

We watched the first 2 episodes of S2 and had forgotten some things and characters. Then we watched the S1 recap and it helped make sense of what all was happening.
 
We're watching that one and The Last of Us. Have the wife hooked on both.

Helen Mirren's character is batshit crazy!!! :D
With Mobland, because it’s attached to the MTV brand and on Paramount like all of Taylor Sheridan’s shows, I initially thought it was a TS show because the plot structure is similar; lots of murders and so forth. But it’s a Guy Ritchie show and at least a notch better.

I gave up on the Last of Us. I was hoping to follow the disease and the affected, not watch another battle between humans.

I thought I saw Max listed somewhere, but we’re watching on Paramount +.
My take: MobLand
Ok, 4 episodes in, this is good, but I don’t expect it’s for everyone. UK based mob story of a family, The Harrigans led by Pierce Bronson, in the best role I’ve seen him in, Helen Mirren is his wife, souly devoted to power and family. An event involving an irresponsible relative, causes some trouble (understatement ;)). Everyone is aghast, she’s proud.

Fast moving, brutal, coherent if you pay attention and have closed captioning, it’s the accents, can’t catch it all of it. 😇 Tom Hardy’s character as the family fixer is fairly amazing, instead of being a wreck, juggling multiple fires, visibly completely cool in life threatening situations, constant pressure. Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey) plays his wife, unhappy playing second fiddle to The Harrigans.

The first thing I’ve seen by Guy Ritchie that I like. 🤔

Just finished S1 of The PITT, a series on Max or whatever it's being called these days. The show covers a day in the life of a fictional ER in Pittsburgh, one hour at a time. It stars Noah Wyle of ER fame, but this is far more impactful. I wouldn't recommend it if you're squeamish – the depictions are by far the most realistic I've ever seen on television. Some of the dialog is there to explain what's happening to a lay audience, but that's unavoidable given the level of detail. Here's the trailer, which I don't think does it justice.

S2 can’t come quick enough.
 
I'm gonna stick with Noah Wylie as Harry Wilson in Leverage Redemption. He's wonderful as a good lawyer with a mischievous side. While I loved Timothy Hutton with the cat, they've done a great job bringing everyone back together.
 
S2 can’t come quick enough.
I read that it’s already in production, with an anticipated release in January. That would be a refreshing change from other shows, where the gap between seasons may be a couple years.

I just watched the S2 finale of The Last of Us. The season only had seven episodes, and there’s no indication when S3 will debut.
 
@Cmaier are you watching the new season of Poker Face? So far it's not nearly as good as the first season IMO, there's definitely a change in writing, procution, not sure what but I'm not sure I'll keep watching.

THANK YOU! I am watching it. I find it terrible. It’s like everything is a cartoon now. And all the actors are terrible. First season had clever Columbo-like plot lines. This season she is figuring out who killed a hamster and talking to a Steve Buscemi on a CB for some reason. I’ve been disappointed by every episode.
 
Good Night and Good Luck, George Clooney’s play, broadcasted the performance live last night. Good watch. I admire Clooney.
