What TV shows are you currently watching

I finally finished (started in Sept 2021!) my second complete watch-through (although I'm sure I'll have seen many episodes randomly over the years) of Friends. It does tail off a little in the last few seasons, but overall it's still one of the best TV shows of all time and I genuinely felt very sad as it finished up, for a few reasons.

I also rewatched, having recently read the book, S1 of Reacher. The stories are slightly different and I think the book does it better. The TV show goes a little cheesy (eg three pairings of fights in the warehouse at the end). It did make me wonder about those complaining S2 he has a team, when in S1 he's working with Rosco and Filay the whole way through. They also heavily miscast Picard, who is supposed to be a giant, even compared to Reacher. Very good TV though.
 
Is anyone still watching Billions?

We've watched it since the start and I genuinely don't know why we bother!

I've never watched a show that has made me feel so stupid in my entire life!

The dialogue seems to be structured in such a way that if you don't know roughly 97% of American history/pop culture inside out, then you are left guessing about the intent!

Oh and Chuck's dad is fundamentally the worst character in any show, ever.
 
Criminal Record - Great performances from Jumbo and Capaldi make this gritty detective drama very watchable. It may be too long for some but my attention never wavered.

Wednesday: Finished this over the weekend. I really liked it. Jenny Ortega was fantastic. So was Enid Sinclair. Sure it's a teen drama and plays everything a little safe and there are also some plot holes. But, despite all this, I enjoyed the show and am looking forward to season 2.

Manifest: Started this after finishing Wednesday. Hadn't heard of it before. The trailer on Netflix made it look very interesting. Plane goes missing for 5 years but for the people on the plane no time has passed. It's all very mysterious. So it sounded like a show I would really enjoy. Nope. I quit after two episodes. The acting was terrible and the episodes I watched were boring. I might have given it a chance if the acting had been decent. But none of the actors looked like they wanted to be there. So I got out early!! Can't believe it ran for more than one season.

Travelers: After been disappointed with Manifest, I hit the button on Netflix for "shows like this" and Travelers was top of the list. Watched the first episode and am hooked. Looking forward to seeing what happens.

Similar for me with Manifest, the premise though not original is interesting but it was just not interesting to watch at all, likewise thought it was like none of the actors wanted to be there.

Travelers I thought a really good show but sucks season 4 got cancelled, though it ends in an OK place.
 
I half watched Will Trent on Disney whilst playing games. Whilst there are decent bits, it falls short of being completely engrossing. The one thing that stands out is the fact that the characters background is exactly like Bosch. Prostitute mom who was murdered, they grow up in care, then find their mom's killer.
