Yes! Jack Ryan is much better, especially compared to S2 of Reacher so far. I felt like Jack Ryan was more of a thinking persons show, I had to watch episodes a few times to get in to it. Reacher is an easier watch, kind of like Bosch was. |

Simple, unbelievable yet you can’t stop binging lol, it’s entertaining, such a leisure watch |
I binged it over the weekend and your description is appropriate. I kept thinking the whole time about how Dwight has so much charisma but is such curse on these poor people. They've all got problems but overall seem like good people and he's going to get them killed.

I also binged "1923" over the weekend and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I've never seen "Yellowstone", didn't really enjoy "1883", and thought Harrison Ford was too old to be playing cowboy. After what happens to the Duttons in this series, however, his character fit so much better. Helen Mirren deserves another Emmy for her performance. She just stands out when she's in front of camera.
Lawmen:Bass Reeves was also good but I enjoyed "1923" much more.

You're right this 2nd season of Reacher isn't hitting the same way for me. Not sure what it is, I'm hoping the rest of the season are going to bring it home. Jack Ryan seems better so far but I'm still only on the first season |

| Fargo Season 5 on Hulu is so good. Juno Tanple and John Hamm are great. Jennifer Jason Leigh is great as well. And Steve Harrington isn’t bad either. |

Three episodes into it. It's very good. My kind of show. Production is top-notch. Great performances, especially from Oldman. |
Halfway through the second season.
This show is fantastic. |
I'll double quote myself. 
The second half of season 2 was a confusing mess.
Hope season 3 delivers.

2nd season of Reacher doesn't have enough scenes of him beating the snot out of random douchebags. It was my favorite parts of S1. Still entertaining.

Finally started watching Reservation Dogs on Hulu, what a great show.
It does a great job giving us a peak into life on a res, history and culture in a humorous and delicate way. Highly recommend |

Brother Sun, I like, was hoping more oomph like Warriors but any English speaking series with Michelle Yeoh, I’m down with

I’ve been suffering through “The Curse” on Showtime. It’s not that good, but it creates just enough intrigue to make you keep watching.
I also started a rewatch of Ray Donovan. I checked out during the Abbey cancer season when the sow was live. This time I will try to stick through to the end. Jon Voight is great. |

Watched the first few episodes of Our Flag Means Death and it's hilarious if you like that kind of farcical comedy.

| I have been binging Survivor. Never watched it before. Started with season 38 and then did 31 and now 33. It’s pretty entertaining I guess. Am I addicted? No I wouldn’t think so. |

Anyone watching ECHO? It's about a deaf, amputee assassin. Alaqua Cox (Maya Lopez) is really deaf and an amputee.

I watched it because I enjoyed her character intro from the Hawkeye series. I haven't read them but, even though she is deaf, I don't believe she's an amputee in the comics. Her powers are also different. In the comics, her powers are more like Taskmaster where she's able to copy anyone's movements.
I liked the first three episodes but it really fizzled out on the last two.

Wasn't Fisk the Kingpin character from Daredevil? There was a Daredevil appearance.

It's fantastic. I may try to stay away from it. I think there are only 6 (jumbo sized) episodes.
I'm gonna wait. And have a fantastic binge.
Curb Your Enthusiasm comes out in 2 weeks!
Is there a definitive answer on what is the best episode of Curb? What about best season?
I thought LG had a Curb thread. But I can't find it.

Didn't care much for S2 and S3 of True Detective so my hopes fore S4 weren't particularly high. But I loved the opening episode. I just hope the rest of the show goes similarly well. |

I'm rewatching S10 and S11 in prep for 12 and it's making me excited for it. I love the tagline for it, :"Don't be mad because it's leaving. Be mad it's back".
And I'm finally looking forward to True Detective again. I bailed in the middle of season 2 because it was just too ridiculous. But this one looks great, and it's going to be tough to go wrong with Foster involved.
