Barry is superb. I saw someone on here post about it and so glad i did. Maybe it was one of yours!
We've just finished "The Serpent" on BBC, really enjoyed that show and binged all 8 episodes online in around 2 days.
Also watching the Wilds on Amazon, it's ok so far, but concerned it might descent into girly teen arguing.

The Lone Gunmen - was a spinoff from the X-files and sadly only 13 shows longs (did not get renewed). Quite fun and the first episode is eerily similar to what happened on 9/11 
Also polished off Cobra Kai S3 and working my way through Sabrina S4

Might have been me - I did rave about it when I saw it
One episode in particular of the second season is pure art (without spoiling anything... the one with the fight!)
Just finished S3 and I thought it was okay, I'd maybe even go so far as saying it was good. The event at the end of S03E09 was a little... odd tbh, but okay. What I did like, they did the fights well. I'm not an MMA fan. I don't watch MMA, but I feel they did a good job of portraying the fights without making it cheesy. There was no... erm, I don't know... special move a fighter would learn and pull out when he was about to lose. There was no BS 'win it for {insert character name here}!' type crap. They just went in and battered each other and someone won...
What was the rogue trainer all about? I thought he perhaps had some plan of some kind, but we never hear of one. He just tries to steal Ryan I guess and at the last minute Ryan tells him to do one.
Subscribed to Apple TV over Christmas and I watched Ted Lasso and Defending Jacob.
The reason I subscribed was because of Ted Lasso!! Watched the first two free episode and was hooked. It's a funny, feel good sitcom. If you had tried to describe the show to me I would have said that sounds awful. But, it works.
Defending Jacob is ok. It starts out really well, dark and mysterious. But, it seemed to run out of steam after 5 episodes. Didn't like the ending much either. I think it would have been better if they kept it to 6 episodes and changed the ending!!

There will be a Royal family film where they are all black out next huh?
Oh no, the antiwoke-police are here guys, scarper!
2 episodes into Sweet Home after reading the reviews here:
- Res Evil inspired
- Walking Dead with monsters
For a moment there I thought you were talking about the superlative Korean period zombie tv show, also called Kingdom, I was about to say what? Season 3 is out !?

Count my vote as well on that, it went under the radar somewhat but it comes close to equaling Deadwood as a good solid frontier series! One i'd happily watch again at somepoint!
The Swede is an awesome character!
I wouldnt really describe it as walking dead with monsters, I was one who said it had a res evil vibe though which I feel it does. In so much as some of the monster designs seem very Res Evil inspired. I thought it was excellent throughout (I also liked Alive, Train to Busan and Kingdom) however if you arent feeling it after 2 episodes then maybe its not one for you, I'd say give it another episode and if you still arent feeling it then knock it on the head.
I'm hoping for a second season, the chances are good as Sweet Home made it into the Top 10 tv shows in the US, so its definitely got the ratings for a 2nd season.
Are you talking about Bridgerton? It is hardly aiming for historical accuracy, and I enjoy the fact that there is almost no reference to race, people are just people.
I just started it as well and thought the same. Just finished episode 3 which finally hints at something a tad interesting but I'm undecided whether to stick with it at present.
It has been so slow that on the second episode I nodded off after a few minutes, gave up and took a nap instead!
Edit: have stuck with it and it does pick up a bit more from episode 4. A couple of funny bits in ep 5 too

Thanks @secretspy was starting to think it must be so bad that no one else watches it
.I'll give episode 3 a go. I guess one thing that has helped is that these aren't 40-45min episodes, as I'd have probably ditched it by now!
I just finished season 1 this morning. It did pick up and gave just enough intrigue in each episode for me to continue watching. Like you said though, if it was 45 min episodes I probably wouldn't have bothered. There are certain bits I found annoying like the sound change when Julia Roberts is using her headphones for phone callsThanks @secretspy was starting to think it must be so bad that no one else watches it

Watched up to Ep 5 last night; Ep 5 was very slow and Mrs is starting to lose interest - will push on, hopefully building to something good.
