^ I liked that a lot. I've also seen Seasons 2 and 3 which are very good as well.
Bosch Season 7 2021 Felt a bit truncated at only 8 episodes although the story was properly finished. Solid if not especially innovative Amazon cop show set in LA. Good watch mainly thanks to Titus Williver's great turn as well as a fantastic theme tune 8/10

The After (2014) - A single season AND single episode series (or not so series). Another interesting thing for me about it is, it is about a group of people coincidentally gathered. (Not abducted, but they happened to gather coincidentally.) They discover that all of them were born on 7th March. It is also my birthday. Coincidence... Wow, what an intricate thing, even in real life sometimes. Everything is all over the place. Not terrible but quite bland. 5/10

Lisey's Story 2021
Proof perhaps that not everything Stephen King sh*ts is gold. Quite confusing mix of horror, fantasy and romance but some original stuff on the fantasy side of it. 6/10

Intruders (2014) - Kinda like the movie Selfless (2015), but less dramatic. Started out promising, went on good for some time, and then fell apart. I'd rather not delve into its core idea, as some can see such occult/supernatural things as real, some probable and some as utter cobblers. I prefer to have fun with these, and tend to think of them as schizophrenic or at least within the scope of "belief". You know, you see some striking similarities between you and a historical figure, and get convinced that you're reincarnated. I just prefer not to jump to such conclusions in my life. I was always this way. I'm not trying to insult the mentally ill, as I also suffered from some sort of unidentified/unidentifiable (or undiagnosed, not sure about its exact English term) psychosis. Anyway, this was a 7/10 TV-series for me. I can say that I was expecting a great thing like Jordskott, which I talked about here earlier.

Black Summer
Netflix zombie drama prequel to Z-Nation. took a bit of a dive after the promise of S1 . Went all a bit Tarentino-esque , perhaps pandemic filming issues?! S1 - 8/10 S2 - 6/10

Them - Another story mainly about racism, with supernatural elements, in 1950s America. Brutal at times but I thought it was very well done. 9/10

I still haven't watched Radiant yet, I got sidetracked by a few other shows, but I just finished Mr. Queen and wanted to recommend it, if your wife hasn't seen it yet; it's on Viki.com. I rank it up there with my favorites (My Mister, Crash Landing on You, Mr Sunshine, When the Camellia Bloom, Strong Girl Bong-soon). It had my wife and I in stitches, and the premise is quite original. I'm starting Radiant now:)

Only 3 episodes put up in but a shout out to the David E Kelley drama Nine Perfect Strangers (made by Hulu but shown on Amazon prime in the UK) . so far 9/10 for great characters and dark humour reminiscent of the brilliant Big Little Lies (another David E Kelley drama)
Just finished New Zealand satirical fake documentary Wellington Paranormal (3 seasons) that follows 2 police officers tracking supernatural goings on. Amusing rather than hilariously funny. Worth a watch. 7/10

Schmigadoon! 2021 (6 episodes)
A young couple are trapped in a 1940's musical and they can only leave if they find true love. Amusingly they can't stop themselves bursting into song and getting involved in large dance/musical numbers. I enjoyed it for what it was , light hearted entertainment with a very silly premise. Engaging fluffy fun! 7/10

Castle Rock Season 1
this went badly downhill after a promising first few episodes. First half is about 7/10 but then the story goes nowhere and it's gets very annoying and horribly slow paced. Never felt any tension and even the oft overused horror shock moment ( a la Final Destination) is a massive fail for me. Second half 3/10 so overall about 5/10

Doctor Death - I just finished both the dramatized mini-series and the documentary.
The mini-series had it's ups and downs as far as acting, but the last half is better than the first half of the episodes. Alec Baldwin is a bit flat-lined as far as acting, but Christian Slatter is good and the guy that plays Dr. Death is convincing enough. It's good entertainment, so I give it a 6/10 The Documentary is quite intriguing and was interesting to watch after watching the series to see where the differences in fact and drama were. Overall, the whole scenario is quite frightening that it actually happened, but the documentary just drives it home quite well. 7/10 for the doc.

The Good Doctor (Season 4)
One of the few medical dramas I've watched in recent years , only went to it because of Freddie Highmore's excellent turn in Bates Motel. It's undeniably schmaltzy and sentimental and many will be turned off by that. I enjoyed it a lot though (keep a box of tissues handy!) and the actors and writers deserve a pat on the back for always managing to keep it fresh while developing realistic story arcs for all the main characters. 8/10 . Look forward to Season 5 which officially is happening.

I liked it though the mixture of styles was a bit odd...but I like occult horror so I persevered.
