I’m enjoying Doom Patrol on HBO Max, and also Lovecraft Country.
We’re watching Young Wallander, Lucifer, and re-runs of Poirot, and the old Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes shows.
My wife is re-watching Downton Abbey while I’m at work, and I’m about to finish my watch-through of The Magicians.

I have to say that The Magicians was my favorite show during it’s run, a sort of quirky, very adult “Harry Potter”..... For some reason SYFY hasn’t made the entire last season available yet, only the episodes from #9 to the end.

But they’re available on certain streaming sites of dubious legality.....

The Jeremy Brett Holmes are really fine, Bikewer.

I watched Cobra Kai too. I thought it is incredibly cringey with horrible acting and writing. But, it takes me back to the original Karate Kid movies so it's kind of fun. If it existed outside the Karate Kid universe it would be god awful. And, the "several" is 30 years after the original movie.
Yes, there was a point somewhere in season 2 when I found that it was pretty “campy” in a season 3 of Stranger Things sort of way. At times it was almost like it was poking fun at itself.

It’s just a half season. The second half of season 5 is supposed to be released sometime next year with a 10 episode Season 6 afterwards that will wrap it all up.

My wife binge started binge watching all 4.5 seasons after I’d gotten halfway through it. Then I watched it again. I reall my enjoyed the irreverent cheekiness that Tom Ellis delivers. Surprisingly my wife really enjoyed it as well and even ordered the Ella Lopez “Every Now And Then I Fall Apart” taco t-shirt.

Started watching this... it's pretty good, but some science/tech parts annoy me. Phones would never work that well in space on the way to Mars... just the delay even if they were powerful enough would be from several seconds to minutes depending on how far the ship is located from Earth.

Just finished Fauda (Netfix) and zerozerozero (Amazon). Enjoyed both.
Just started on Cobra Kai: Nice follow up to Karate Kid and better than I thought it would be.

For you fans of Away, check out Another life. Well done show, has both science and character development.

Here's another nod to Lost in Space. The first few episodes are pretty slow and tedious, but it does pick up nicely.

My wife is not a science fiction fan, so we watch Endeavour, Morse and Poirot. We just finished the Crown, which is excellent.

For a quirky show, try the Romanoffs on AMAZON.

Yes, the new Lost In Space series on Netflix is great, too!

Hi Lauren. My wife and I started watching it last night. Really good. How many seasons are out?

Only one season of Away so far (10 episodes) — it debuted on Netflix only a couple of weeks ago, I believe.

My wife and I just finished the first season of "The Musketeers" on Amazon Prime.
I'm also intrigued by "Murder City"

Best,
PJ

I just finished Away a few minutes ago. I really liked it - though the character Matt must be a professional poker player IRL.

Next up is season 2 of The Boys on Amazon Prime. I’m already two episodes in.
