That reminds me, I should've had Bodyguard on my list.If you liked Luther I highly recommend Line of Duty.
One of my favorite shows. Very underrated.Started watching S2 of GLOW yesterday. Sublime.

Yes. I was astonished to discover (though maybe shouldn't have been, given the USA in the mid-80s!), it's a fictionalisation based on an actual cable TV show/ franchise. But regardless of the cheesy premise, the show/cast is very good.Hm. That seems to be a show about female wrestlers.
I haven't watched it yet™ but I did watch a local TV programme interview an Ukrainian man who pointed out some mistakes in the way of address (I can testify that USians cannot get their heads around formality, let alone Russian patronymics).Just finished Chernobyl. It is excellent.
I have never seen any production, neither Russian nor Western, portraying everyday items/scenery of late 80s with such accuracy. 12/10.
Top notch acting. 10/10
Two or three scenes have characters say things that make little sense, as if they were incredibly naive and unfamiliar with Soviet reality (Khomyuk with Belarus party boss and Legasov questioning 30-km quarantine radius with Scherbina spring to mind), so script gets 9/10.
Well, yeah, I do not recall a single instance of anyone using patronyms in the show. A deliberate choice not to confuse viewers, I presume.some mistakes in the way of address
Not exactly. It's a show about a bunch of failures, misfits, losers and freaks trying to make something of themselves. The wrestling is just the vehicle, in two ways; it's the vehicle for the show, but it's also the vehicle for the characters within the show - they're all show business washouts and wannabes, and part of the joke at the beginning is that none of them know what they're doing. There's a winking sense of humor about the show-within-the-show; the ridiculousness of pro wrestling is part of the story. It's Major League-meets-This is Spinal Tap, well-written and well-acted.Hm. That seems to be a show about female wrestlers.
It's gotten pretty good reviews. I expect I'll give the DC Comics streaming service a whirl at some point, and Doom Patrol will be first on my list.Well, Doom Patrol recently became available on HBO Nordic (to which we have a subscription). As an old fan of the Grant Morrison run on the comic, I am amazed to death that something like this has actually been made in this day and age.

I think the only big thing that carries over to this season is that...Watched the first few eps of Jessica Jones 3rd season. Only to realize I don't recall the second season well enough to remember all the things that they are constantly referencing.
Anything worth streaming on Amazon Prime? It looks to me like a lot of crap.
I echo Good Omens.Anything worth streaming on Amazon Prime? It looks to me like a lot of crap.
