@FuriousMachine I'll probably re-sub to Disney+ a day or two before Andor season 2 drops to rewatch the first season and go from there. I pondered waiting until the whole second season was out but don't want to risk any spoilers online.
Once I'm done with Disney I'll sort Apple and let you know what I think. Nothing compares to Band of Brothers for me, I consider it one of the greatest television shows created. So I doubt Masters of the Air will be that good but maybe similar to The Pacific, not quite as good but still a quality show.
I'll check if Paradise is on right now, as I'm wondering what it is anyway. Most Hulu stuff goes to Disney UK, but I won't guarantee it until I see it .. Paradise. Drama. Thriller. High-syakes investigation? That the one? It's on Disney UK.
And as for Shogun, I'm going to slap that on at some point when I'm a decent chunk of the way through AC Shadows. As I usually like to pair AC games with podcasts, books or tv shows about similar periods in the history of the region in each game. And by all accounts, Shogun is going to be a superb watch, I'm certain.

After many years of trying, I’ve managed to convince the missus to watch Farscape with me. I watched it back when it used to air on BBC2 at 6pm over 20 years ago and have always fancied going back.
We just finished season 1 and while it’s definitely aged and there’s certainly a lot of filler (monster-of-the-week type eps)… the show really hit its stride in the last third of the season with Chianna, Scorpius, Stark and Talyn all being introduced. We’ll take a little break now and watch a few seasons of other shows before starting season 2 in a month or so. The end of season 1 has got me quite excited for what’s to come.
@graymamba
I actually started watching this a few weeks back, mainly as it seems to be on all of the streaming services so not much of a chance of it being removed from all of the them before I get to the last episode.
Not bad, a bit like Buck Rodgers I guess (well not really). My favourite character is Lord whatever he is called.
I started watching Ash vs Evil dead and Outrageous fortune which is a drama about a NZ crime family going straight, I started to watch it for the NZ scenery which is totally absent. Actually not bad and we all know how good Evil dead is.
@CaptD that’s mad… as you didn’t hear a great deal about Farscape when it was actually airing let alone all these years later.
I did watch a season or two of Ash vs Evil back when that first aired too and remember enjoying it… even if it didn’t quite hit the highs of Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Haven’t heard of Outrageous Fortune though, I’ll have to look into it.
@graymamba@CaptD Farscape is my all time favourite show. It's up there with Battlestar Galactica. I'd love to be able to convince my wife to watch them with me.
@MightyDemon82 yeah I can’t wait to get to some of the awesome mini-arcs of seasons 2, 3 and 4… and obviously The Peacekeeper Wars. Without wanting to denigrate season 1 too much… we’re through the worst of it and onto the gravy.

Started watching The Pitt after seeing it had rave reviews online. Only a few episodes in, but really liking it so far. It all taking place in real time gives it this really sprawling feel as the show weaves through these developing narratives, while new ones are introduced or resolved winding through it. I also have no idea how accurate this is because I am not a doctor, but it also doesn't really have any exposition, everyone uses a lot of either real or made up medical jargon for everything and will just get on with whatever procedure they need to complete. It will sometimes use the interns as a way for characters to indirectly explain to the audience what exactly they are doing, but a lot of the time it just trusts the audience to follow what is happening by just processing what they are seeing, not being narrated and it is a weirdly rewarding experience as you start to pick up on certain things as jargon is reused etc
@Pizzamorg
As far as I am aware all the medical language and procedures is accurate as its been getting praised by medical professionals. It gets better and better as you watch, almost every storyline has a satisfying payoff.
Born too early to explore space and born too late to explore Earth, but born just in time to explore memes.
That is even cooler then @PegasusActual93 so thanks for letting me know. The show is really putting a lot of trust in the audience, and I appreciate it for that.
Holy ****! We just finished season 2 of Wheel of Time in our rewatch in prep for season 3 (which finishes airing this Thursday)… and I forgot quite how good that finale was. Tears… frikkin tears!
It’s The Last of Us day 😄 We’ve been rewatching season 1 (in glorious 4K) and it’s been blowing me away all over again. All the best to anyone tuning in!
@graymamba I’ve heard really good things about this show. I never did read the books but had friends who loved the series. It’s about time I jump in 😆 Hope season 3 keeps the level of quality going.

@Jimmer-jammer the biggest drawback of the show imo is that it’s probably a little deep in the lore with little exposition, so can be a bit impenetrable for those who haven’t read the books. Hopefully if you stick with it long enough, the mists will start to clear 🤞

@Jimmer-jammer I watched the first season at the beginning of the year of The Last of Us, and it exceeded expectations! I'm looking forward to season 2 and how it diverges from the games here on in.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Binged season 3 of Reacher over the weekend and I actually think it was probably the best season of the lot. While not the greatest actor in the world, I think Ritchson has really grown into the role and made it his own at this stage. Laugh out loud funny in moments too!
