TV shows you most recently finished watching

^ and? 

^Thanks. I've got them in my queue but just haven't gotten around to giving them a spin.

Yellowjackets 2021 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11041332/ - I love this sort of show. Takes place now and 25 years earlier in 1996 and tells the story of a girl's football team lost in the wilderness of Canada after a plane crash. I really thought this would be a one off, but it's clear there will be more. It seemed to take an age to watch, but it was only 10 episodes. I'm a bit unsure of the show as a whole though. There is so much mystery that you just want some answers, or even just the odd clue as to what's happening/happened. I have read there may be 5 series - wow maybe another Lost (hopefully not). In saying that, it must have its good bits as I've had it in the back of my mind for the last few days. 8/10 for series 1. PS - wth has happened to Juliette Lewis?

I'm only one episode into Reacher but quite enjoyable stuff . I'll keep going. I have not. Now to be honest, I have no knowledge of the Reacher character as written. I only knew the Tom Cruise version but heard that the description of the character (6' + and 250 lbs) was absent from the movies. That being said I though they portrayed Ritchson's version as a little more of a meathead, even though his background would indicate otherwise. It just felt that TC's version was a little smarter. but that's just my opinion on a single pass through the series. I also found it a little hard to believe that the skinny little guy, no matter how much of a psycho he was, could land the blows and hammer Reacher like he did. I gotta believe one landed punch from Reacher would put just about anybody down handily.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay may be the finest television series I've ever watched (been through it four times now): beauty, great acting, great story, funny, amazing integration of animation and "classic" children's storybook themes, with probably the best exposition of the spectrum of human mental/psychological diseases/disorders/dysfunctions I've ever been seen in television.

Sounds interesting

Lost In Space Season 3 2021 Another Life Season 2 2021 I bracket these together as they ended up being remarkably similar plot wise. I won't spoil it though if you are planning to watch either. Good characters , not that 'dark' as a lot of sc-fi can be and both look good on a decent HD TV. Job done if lacking a bit on emotional impact. Both 7/10 Final Space Season 3 2021 This animated series just gets better and better. I felt very invested in the characters and the plot lines, great job all round. 9/10  If you are a sci-fi fan you should try The Expanse if you haven't already seen it.  One of the best sci-fi shows I have ever watched.   It does take a little time to develop, the first season is a little slow.
