Good Omens. Meh.

It was well done, but it was in the style of Lemony Snicket. If you like that narrative approach, you'll like this. But I don't, so I didn't.

Onto season 2 of Derry Girls!
 
I'm still at early season 1 because I only understand half of it.
You have a better excuse than me, though, since (IIRC) you're watching in your third language at least (or fourth, if you count Oirish as separate from Inglish) ;)
 
You only get six hours of experience with the Derry accent with both series, so you gotta learn fast. :)
 
Finishing off Merlin (an old favourite I never saw through to the ending I know is a bit of a cop-out) before letting myself move onto anything else (looking at Wu Assassins because why not, Luther looks like great fun but due to Random Dumbness only the fourth season is on Netflix).

Wife and I are getting through Jessica Jones as well. A better third season than I was expecting, and hope it ends on some relatively conclusive note despite the licensing being yanked.
 
The Colin Morgan version? I have that entire series on DVD. :)

Read the book. Pratchett and Gaiman's written styles are, in my opinion, untranslateable to film -I haven't watched Good Omens yet so I can't form an opinion on those.
 
Also featuring Alexander Vlahos before he became Philippe d'Orleans.
 
Started watching GLOW S3 the other night. Good so far...
 
I rewatched the pilot of Fringe last night. I didn't remember that Lance Reddick (speaking of The Wire) played Broyles as an impatient, slightly misogynist, jerk. The score was wildly over-the-top. I think the composer had recently watched a bunch of a Tim Burton movies.

Just finished watching iZombie. Liked it. Liked the ending. I'm a bit of a mush melon.
An underrated show. Rose McIver almost killed me at least once: In the episode in which Liv ate the professional pick-up artist's brain and then went to a workplace-sensitivity training seminar, and did that roleplay skit with Johnny Frost, the newscaster guy. I was eating dinner while I was watching, and McIver had me laughing so hard I almost choked. And somehow, I never got tired of Malcolm Goodwin playing the straight-man for 5 seasons.
 
Season 2 of Derry Girls was as excellent as the first. Same complaint as last time: there just isn't enough.

I am now working through The Boys ( :groucho: ). I don't really know how to feel about it so far. "What if superheroes were terrible in the modern age?" is an interesting premise, I guess, but, eh... I don't know so far. I'm only about midway through, though. Hopefully it'll get better.

The versatility to play Liv and Liv on never ending series of different brains required a lot more talent than I think most people give her credit for.

I agree. I was also a fan of Orphan Black and Maslany got raves for her performances, and rightly so, but McIver never got the same praise. Her multitude of characters were more like what you'd see on sketch shows. I'm definitely interested to see what she does next.
 
I'm 8 episodes into The Sopranos and it's already one of th greatest shows I've ever seen. It's a pleasure watching James Gandalfini perform.

Yeah she was great.
