Great recs by Matt. For All Man Kind did start slow, but gets better. The rare S2 improvement over S1. Severance and Station 11 probably my top picks in the last year.

I LOVED S1 of Patriot. Such a great show that I never hear about anywhere. I still need to watch S2... Started the first episode but couldn't get into it, and never tried again. I should 🤔

I watched Severance on the recommendations of a few people and loved it. It’s like Lost in an office (hope they can nail the ending much better than Lost did though).

That's an intriguing description! I haven't even watched a trailer, trying to avoid any spoilers. Will report when I've seen it.

Slow Horses, was very good. I had read most of the books in the series and would say they did a good job of recreating the theme and ambiance of the books. Jackson Lamb they did a very good job with.

Otherwise i would say Bosch on Amazon as the next best program for capturing the books well, yet to see the new series though on IMDB TV

Liberty Studios - TV Show Recs:

- huge thumbs up for Outer Range on Amazon Prime. If you are a fan of a type of genre that mixes modern Westerns (backdrop is family ranch in Wyoming) with sci-fi, this is your show. Great story with twists, great actors(Josh Brolin is the family patriarch in this one)/acting, great cinematography.

- I know you like Westerns (Deadwood) and I would imagine you like Sci-Fi, so I'm guessing this might be your type of show.

Sounds interesting. Description reminded me of Firely..

But I watched the trailer, and it seems a lot more suspense/creepy.. almost horror movie vibe (which I'm not into -- over-active imagination!).

Is it really as the trailer makes it seem like, or is it a bit more chill than that?

Thanks! 💚 🥃

ok - hadn't seen the trailer so I watched it to compare.... trailer doesn't capture the spirit of the show, IMHO.

Definitely not horror. I would call it more mystery/strange things going on/strange people with secrets/talking in room or outdoors - all related to a central mysterious object. Don't want to spoil it for you beyond that.

Here's a suggestion. Watch the first 10 minutes of the first episode. It had me hooked - maybe it will hook you too. Or not. Everyone's taste is different, of course.
