Watched the first episode of Devs last night. Fan-bloody-tastic. And vaguely weird. It has all the underplayed strangeness of Annihilation about it.

I also finished Tiger King. I felt the last episode saved it somewhat. I only mean that in as far as the freak show element gave way to an over-reaching feeling of sadness and depression at the ubiquitous scumminess of nearly all concerned.

I have really enjoyed Devs, despite using Den of Geek reviews to help understand what the hell is going on from time to time.

Watched two more episodes with the wife tonight. That almost never happens, life being what it is, with small children and little sleep. It’s great tv, if you like that kind of thing.

2 episodes left of Snowfall, season 3. Why has this show slipped under the radar? It is very good.

Looking forward to the last episode of Devs. What a twisted show.

Ozark season 3 was wild. I really had to force myself to not watch the entire season in a couple sittings.

Finally finished the Expanse after stalling out in the third season.

This lockdown has my screen time through the roof.

Got any sci-fi recommendations for me?

I'm taking it for granted you're watching Westworld! This season just gets better imho.
Awaiting last episode of Devs as well. Ozark! well, never disappoints.

I'm loving the new season of Westworld. It's everything that the first two seasons worked towards.

I forgot to mention how much I've been enjoying the newest season of Better Call Saul. In a way I think I like it more than Breaking Bad.

I just started watching season 5 of Better call Saul last night. Was waiting until all 10 episodes were done so I could binge watch it.
Love being back in that Breaking Bad universe.
Kim might just be the best part.
Quality stuff always when Vince Gilligan is attached.

As much as I enjoyed BB like everyone else, I have preferred Saul since the get-go and it really does get better every season. They way they do their opening scenes blows my mind nearly every episode and the soundtrack is spot on. The badbadnotgood song when Mike is in the junkyard is just insane. Loving the tension between Lalo and Jimmy at the moment.

This, Billions, and of course Ozark has really kept me looking forward to tv shows the last couple of years.

[dinobarnesberlin]

I totally agree with you Grahm. Love seeing all these guys like Fring, Mike pre BB.
im worried about Kim though since she was never in the BB world.
Leads me to think something will happen to her in BCS's world.
And hands down the best intros ever

DEVS - last episode (no spoilers!) was SO FUCKING INSANELY GOOD. I'm going to be thinking a lot about this show…

WESTWORLD S03 here I come!..

[Baba-san]

Devs…. absolutely awesome!!!

Ozak... great as usual

Better call Saul... just started series 5 on binge...

any recommendations greatfully received!!!

[AlanJ]

ZeroZeroZero about a Mafia deal, very good.

[Baba-san]

thanks for that bud - I'll take a look !

WESTWORLD is annoying me… Still the same absolute dogshit soundtrack/ music... I never liked Bernard, or Dolores, or Maeve, so this is kind of a hard watch for me...

Gonna watch the first two eps of THE LAST DANCE tonight...

Westworld started to lose me last season. I’ve watched the first two or three ep’s of this season and I am not really feeling it - and I love Dolores. Even with her in a little black dress and heels, at her most badass, plus Jesse from Breaking Bad playing Jesse from Breaking Bad, it is still leaving me cold.

[BloodnThunder]

@Seul:

Finished ZEROZEROZERO: fantastic!!!

I'm about 4 episodes in.  Really enjoying it so far.

[Seul]

Yeah I've officially given up on Westworld… Was watching ep 5 til this whole debacle took place...

"What's happening?.."
"He's switching genres!.."

GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!.. FUCK THE FUCK OFF!..

Back to TOP BOY... Allow it, fam.

[sabergirl]

I will continue to watch westworld for the eye candy and the crazy special effects. Season 2 was a little incomprehensible and a LOT violent, and 3 has so far proven to be a little more straightforward but therefore less provocative. Aaron Paul also really grates on me here, not sure why, so he’s not a welcome addition. At least Ed Harris is still around to chew scenery. It just got picked up for another season.

Overall, considering that I’m spending a couple hours watching TV a day, I’m invested enough to keep going.

@Palmer  Another Life on Netflix is decent. High Life on Amazon Prime. I swear there was another great sci-fi series that I had watched last year on HBO or Netflix or Hulu but I can’t find it or remember what it was called.
