📺 Wednesday
Take Harry Potter, mix in some Umbrella Academy add in Tim Burton and away you go. I enjoyed the earlier part of the show more. The last two episodes started to soften up the Wednesday character - which for my taste just didn’t work. Jenna Ortega who’s name I did not know since I clearly live under a rock was absolutely perfectly cast.

📺 Better Call Saul
Stunning. I thought ‘Breaking Bad’ was good - but Saul - oh my. I know it has been around a while - and it is 6 seasons. But NO regrets.
PS - @pratik said as much … agreed.

📺 Shrinking
I had heard lots of good things about it - from more than a handful of people. Time to bite the bullet. It certainly wasn’t a dud - just one of those nice, gently humorous shows.
I did not know that one of the co-creators was Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso), but still Shrinking is no Ted Lasso.
I think anybody that watches it could identify with at least one of the any diverse characters.
I wouldn’t say don’t watch it - but there are others I would recommend first.

📺 Unstable
Rob Lowe and his son. Written by his son. Think Eugene Levy. Except I’m a fan of Eugene … but have now tried Schitts Creek 3 times … and am still not there. So I wasn’t expecting too much when I started up this puppy. That’s the key I guess. Lower the expectations. Not bad at all, though shades of Mythic Quest?

📺 Sherwood
True Story - with artistic license. Couple of my favorite actors in it, which is why I gave it a shot. Turns out it also includes an actor called Adeel Akhtar .. who I didn’t spot at the time - but IMHO saved a movie I watched last night. (Link to come.)
Â
📺 The Consultant
It started off really well, but for my taste, wandered off into a nothingness that I didn’t care about. I will watch the next series, but more because I so much enjoy watching Walz than any recommendation of the series. Shame really.
Â
📺 Breaking Bad
I know. I know - but I have only just finished it. I can’t believe it took me so long. For those who haven’t yet watched it. Give it a whirl.
