Watched a couple of big-name series and must admit not for me.
Fargo 4. Having watched Fargo series 1-3, they vary in quality but are overall decent. I was in no rush to watch Fargo 4 as reviews were mixed. However, with season 5 released last year, I thought I would work through four and then go onto five.
Season 4 has some familiar stars if you watched Italian Mafia series Gomorrah or Suburra. Agree with the critiques, overlong and lacking. Started Fargo 5 and its much better.
Boardwalk Empire Season 1
I heard good things; although I must be missing something - I was hoping this was going to be Tommy guns and all that. It's slow, a bit of violence, politics, throw in some bonking scene and repeat. Does it get any better?
Onto good things I have been watching lately - Tales of the Unexpected!
A famous TV series from the late seventies, iconic opening theme, often some episodes were written/introduced by children's author, Roald Dahl. Many famous UK/US actors of the day starred (Joan Collins, Charles Dance) some of the episodes were very dark - it's good!

I was looking for a new comedy to watch and found myself starting Young Sheldon. I wasn't really expecting much from it (I watched a bit of Big Bang Theory but found it got boring after a few seasons). Got to say Young Sheldon is much better.
We watched YS from the start - enjoyed it, innocent comedy, laughter and sadness throughout. Great time to start it as the show has just finished it's final season (7). Not sure if we'll watch the next show (a spin off of a spin off!)

I can see this being incredibly marmite (my wife is like "WTF are you even watching?"), but I'm quite enjoying Letterkenny.
Also watched a few eps of Smiling Friends, gives very mid-2000s internet vibes.

Making my way through the UKs version of Wallander with the lovely Kenneth Brannagh.
I've seen the original Swedish version but can't really remember much.

There are two Swedish versions both excellent IMO. You have the TV movies with Rolf Lassgard and then the episodic TV series with Krister Henriksson

The last episode is very emotional with the Kenneth Brannagh one.
I'm glad they filmed in Sweden too.
I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Just finished S3 of The Outlaws. Nice, fun, easy watch. Only 5 eps, an hour each.
