I've seen "Red Oaks" - I think the cast was great and and generally - I enjoyed the sense of humor there. Setup of 80s is another big plus.

The Bureau is really good - a cross between Homeland and Spooks but far better written. I'm currently starting season 3 and really enjoying it.
I have to say Clarkson's Farm is also enjoyable - and this from a non petrol head that's pretty much ignored all things Clarkson over many decades.
Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime is excellent. Clancy’s work transfers well to screen, but his plots are usually far too intricate for a ~2 hour motion picture. The ten-episode series is a MUCH better platform. Also, John Krasinski is a far better Ryan than any of the prior actors. Season one is solid, and 2 is even better. Anxiously awaiting 3….
I started watching Zoo. The first season was kind of fun, not an A class series. The second was turn off bad after a bit.
I have been enjoying Clarkson’s Farm as well.. I enjoy Clarkson’s other shows too. I enjoy his realist cynicism And he doesn’t hold back much. His farm is awesome, the show is both interesting and humorous with a touch of drama.
I recently upgraded my TV to a 75” Sony, so enjoying the show in UHD HDR is a treat..
Midnight mass is an excellent 7 episode mini series. It is super natural and horror, but not bad horror, real arty, biblical dialogues and mixed with vampires and God. Don't expect fast paced outcomes just enjoy the poetic arty journey. Some great acting. Very different from other shows
I really enjoyed Midnight Mass. The creator/director is the same person that did Dr Sleep (the Shining sequel) which was also a solid movie. Midnight Mass definitely had a Stephen King vibe.
I recently watched a few episodes of the second season of the Witcher. Has anyone seen it already? Does it get better in the second half?
Yep, it was not an easy and it is such a shame, because I am a huge enthusiast of this universe.
Ok, I am in a parallel one. Marvel multiverse implies we are all spread out
I watched all of the witcher episodes. It’s alright. Ginger replacement is extra weird with Triss. The story is sorta… I dunno, feels a little rushed and all over, inspired by books/video games I guess.
In this case the video game (W3) is much better to me.

Sorta maybe--but no
it comes out as a convoluted mess--few interesting bits and BIG hints for #3--if it wasn't for cool Henry C I'd give it a miss.

Thanks guys, I guess it is a pass for now. 5 more hours I won't be able to get back. Perhaps, when on a long flight or stuck at an airport and not in a mood for books or music the Witcher will get its share.
Superman and Lois is the best of the TV series on superheroes, and including movies next only to Batman begins and dark Knight rises. It is a different take, Superman and Lois have teenage twin sons, and superman is struggling with being a father and communicating to two teenagers. Even the superhero parts are better than the movies
That is an interesting concept. Taking Superman from Sacrum and moving to Profane. It's fascinating to show that Superman is not just a superhero, but also a human (in a small part at least).
