TV shows you most recently finished watching

It took me quite a while to finally watch it, but I just finished Deadwood.  I haven't watched the 2019 movie yet, but I really enjoyed the series, stellar acting by everyone.  It's sad that they weren't able to continue with it but apparently it was too expensive to make.

I definitely need to check out Beforeigners!

It reminds me of The 4400, which has a slightly similar premise: a group of 4400 people appear out of nowhere near Mount Rainier, all of them missing people that disappeared many decades ago. Having people appear all of sudden from the stone age or the 11th century introduces some interesting cultural and linguistic clashes. Do you know if this was ever released with English subtitles? It sounds like it would be a fun series to watch.

I'm watching season two of The Boys right now. 

I'm watching The Servant Season 2 , I do like these 30 minute episodes. It knows its a bit silly but its very entertaining.

I am curious if anyone else has been watching Servant and what you think of it.  It's quite an oddball of a series, sometimes quite hilarious, a bit scary, has quite a huge attention to set detail and character reactions.  It seems a bit out of focus sometimes especially in season 2, but then a lot of the things that seem trivial come back, so who really knows?  Rupert Grint (from Harry Potter) is excellent!  It's quite an interesting study on how a bunch of normal people try to protect someone that has obviously lost her sanity and how that ends up driving them all crazy.

Love Succession and have been waiting patiently for season 3 ever since season 2 ended.

Yep and Season 2 is even better  , Season 3 was ready for filming last year until a certain global pandemic got in the way. Still, its good to know it's happening (Succession not the pandemic!)

I've been watching The Curse of Oak Island in recent days. I like that they have archaeologists and a geoscientist involved now. It's more interesting to see their work than the so-called "theorists" that keep bringing up the Knights Templar and Freemasons and stuff. Kind of wish they would do a giant, large scale archaeological dig on this island instead of drilling holes trying to find a treasure and wandering around with a metal detector finding nails and oxen shoes. I guess a large-scale dig of that nature would make this less interesting TV though. The recent dig of a stone road found in a nearby swamp is the closest they've come to something of this size.

Finished Series 1 of Succession last night. Brilliant all round, really enjoyed it.
