Not yet what to think of Welcome To Derry, especially since this is a completely different story from the book. But...

Spoiler

Is that **** Hallorann, as in The Shining's **** Hallorann?

The fact that it's different actually makes me want to watch it more. We don't really need another TV/movie version of the book.

I liked the first 2 seasons of the Diplomat but I’m hating season 3. Still have a couple episodes left but probably won’t be back for S4.

I haven't started yet but what is turning you off? I thought the first two seasons were great.

I"m only 1 or 2 into S3.... nothing jumping out as shark-jumpy yet.

Finished Task.

I'll give it the Apple standard rating of 7.5/10. Yes, I know it's an HBO production, but it reminded me of a "good but flawed" Apple show. Worth the watch but nowhere near top tier TV for reasons I can't really put my finger on. I will say that, in general, I am not a fan of police procedurals that overly focus on the investigators.

Networks rarely make intricately detailed shows like Breaking Bad, Sopranos, etc. anymore because the audience for it is no longer there. People scroll on their phones while watching TV these days. Maybe your reaction has something to do with that.

Spoken like a defense attorney. TV always propping up the enemy...

One episode into the Ed Gein Story on Netflix...not sure if I'm in or out.

Kerri Russell's character becomes, IMO, both more unlikeable and less interesting this season. The banter between different characters has its moments but is not as consistently entertaining. Political issues not as interesting. I don't think there's a "jump the shark" moment, but my wife and I have started fast forwarding through plot lines we don't care for and that's usually our last straw before giving a show up entirely.

It doesn't, as I love your other exampled show.

No idea where to put this but I had no idea the alice TV show was based off a movie

Nero the Assassin (Netflix - French with subtitles) is a solid watch for fantasy fans. The end isn't completely satisfying as it seems to be setting up a following season. It gets a bit tropey/derivative at times, but not enough to ruin the entertainment factor.
