I liked the last season of Lost in Space personally. The middle season was the dud for me.

I'd agree for now, I'm two episodes into the third season of Lost in Space, and it, to me, seems much improved over the prior season.
I wrapped up the fourth series of Good Fight the other night, it was so good to see the show not choke itself on Trump and focus on something else, namely memo 618. The whole concept of the firm now having overlords is interesting, so I'm keeping a keen eye on that. A stand-out thread from this series was Lucca, balancing her work and child plus her interactions with a wealthy friend. And any appearance from John Laroquette is a bonus, imo!

I've started watching a show called Animal Kingdom, which seems to be focused on a family that robs/steals for a living. Not really my favorite theme yet there are a few cast members that I enjoy, so there's that.
I'm in the 2nd season of Dark and I like it so far.
It's a lot of characters though, since each is usually seen at 2 or 3 periods of their life, with intricate relationships. Now it's getting easier, but near the end of season 1 it was confusing.
I wouldn't like to have to let it rest one year until the next season is released.

Yeah, it's not easy keeping track of everyone. I remember rewatching the first season before watching the second just to refresh my memory. Glad you're enjoying it.I'm in the 2nd season of Dark and I like it so far.

Oh yeah, I was also having difficulties keeping track of characters, most often as to who in what timeline they are, and in relation to the others. But it was also pretty fun.
The worst thing about Dark is how much it repeats itself. Sometimes you really feel like they keep hammering the same thing. A lot of time by actually repeating the exact same catch-phrases. Almost becoming an anthem.
It really didn't need that much. It could've been more subtle.
But all in all, it was decent. A solid story for what it was trying to tell. At least I wasn't disappointed by feeling like having the rug pulled off from under me, like in 1899.

It definitely feels much better than 1899. Though maybe a little artificial sometimes, as if they had a big brainstorming to see how they could best use every character and have everything significant.

I also enjoyed Dark back when I watched it, and yeah, I do remember the repetition it constantly had, often numerous times per episode. Unfortunately it's not the only show/film that does this, I've never been impressed with productions that think the viewer is either not paying attention or unable to comprehend the story to the point where parts have to be repeated. It's downright insulting in some cases.

Last night I wrapped up the most recent iteration of Lost in Space, and overall I found it rather disappointing. If I ever feel like revisiting the Robinson's I'll likely rewatch the version from the sixties.
And to fill in the gap I'm heading back to Ozark! I watched the first episode of series two last night and I'm pretty hooked, I like where the whole Del situation is headed, looks like lots of incoming grief.

Henry Cavill Was Allegedly Fired From "The Witcher" but Showrunner Denies the Claims
When Henry Cavill announced he was leaving his hit series, The Witcher, people were shocked. After all, the entire show revolves around his character, Geralt of Rivia. Initially, it seemed as though the actor was willingly leaving the show to pursue other projects, namely to fulfill his...
I liked the 2 first seasons, but season 3 of Dark is a mess, I hope the 2nd half gets more interesting.

I'm well into the second series of Ozark now, and digging it entirely. The whole Del scenario hasn't played out as I thought it might, and some of the auxiliary characters are somewhat tedious, I'm hoping for a seriously good climax as a finale.
I enjoyed Ozark a lot whilst acknowledging it is certainly not a master piece.

Agreed, by no means a perfect show yet most of the episodes I've watched so far I've enjoyed. I just hope it can sustain this nice momentum.

Now that I've seen Mr. Robot, now I can put my finger on what Cyberpunk 2077's storytelling was missing. Get Sam Esmail and team to write the sequel.
I started watching The Witcher: Blood Origin. I made it through the first episode and half of the second before turning it off. It's awful.

I've put the Cabinet of Curiosities on hold for a while now, and only now saw the episode "The Autopsy". Pretty cool episode.
I absolutely loved the voice actor that voices the dude that under the control of the lovecraftian parasite.
The look of the parasite should've been a lot more non-descript and with more tentacles imo, but the voice of creature was great!

I finished the second series of Ozark, overall I thought it was a solid ten hours. The whole cartel fiasco didn't play out like I thought it might, yet the show's resolution worked for me. I think one of the characters I enjoy the most is Ruth, she simply seems caught between a terrible family dynamic and poor choices, for the most part. And I vacillate on my thoughts for Marty, often he's brilliant and, at other times, seems thick as a rock.

You're enjoying it more than me It's just not gripping me all that much and I often find myself going days between episodes. I think part of what makes it uninteresting for me is the way Marty and his wife are written. They don't come across as stressed, nor is the frantic desperation I'd expect in that life/death situation present.

That changes over the course of the show. Not so much for Marty who usually seems to keep his cool, but definitely for Wendy.
