Please just try to provide fair warning of spoilers if you can.
I watched season 3 of Slow Horses over the last couple of days and it was quite good! 7/10. Better than seasons 1 and 2 I thought. Looking forward to watching season 4 once the whole thing has been released so that I can binge watch it. There are exceptions, but I prefer to watch shows in one go and not week by week, especially when the episodes are only 40 minutes long.
One of the exceptions is Rings of Power which I've been too hyped for so can't wait until it's all been released and it seems like they're on the same track as season 1! Season 2 feels like its pace is a lot quicker but I don't mind one bit. Really enjoying it even though I'm getting impatient about having to wait every week! (And before anyone asks, my parents didn't pay for cable - we only had 2 channels in my childhood, both of which only had shows aimed at an adult audience (and they were also just bad local productions) so I never got into the habit of waiting a week to follow tv shows)
I tried to watch Love, Death & Robots just now too. The first episode seemed a little juvenile and the second episode looked like a video game cinematic. Maybe it's a stylistic choice for that episode because I'm not sure what the benefits were to not just getting real actors - so I didn't even watch half of it as the CGI for that episode was not good enough for me to stay interested. Maybe there are better episodes along the way but it hasn't grabbed me at all, so I'm gonna drop it as it just isn't really for me.
I finished the last season of The Americans over the weekend and I cannot stop thinking about it or talking about it with everyone I interact with. What an ending! They absolutely nailed this show. I was really invested in it as I was going along with it but this last season really solidified it as maybe my favorite TV show of all time.
I just finished the first season of 'The Terror'. Some really strong performances and a decent story, but I wasn't 100% sold on the supernatural aspects of the story. Still, while not tip-top entertainment, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes horror, adventures, the polar regions, or Jared Harris.
