Re: Traitors Canada's most recent season, for those that weren't aware, apparently the winner had a 15-page instruction manual/strategy document/manifesto they used to win. It included how to approach play from either side, as a Faithful or Traitor, what color clothes to wear and most faithful-looking hairstyle to have.
British and American versions of The Traitors start in January

Not sure if she's posted more excerpts but it's an interesting insight into her game, and a potential roadmap for future players

I thought the first half of S1 was really good but it fell off towards the end. Never even tried watching S2

I see the problem here. You are attempting to apply the Offdee looks ratings to Internet review ratings. It doesn't work that way. See below.
0/10 - Impossible. This never happens. You can't divide zero by anything. FBG Equivalent: Drafting yourself.
1/10 - I made a mistake but will blame it on you because it's not my fault. FBG Equivalent: Starting a player on a bye.
2-4/10 - Never used. FBG Equivalent: Individual defensive players. Nobody does this.
5/10 - Not too bad. Reliable but does not contain swearing, violence, or anything off-putting. FBG Equivalent: Murder, She Wrote
6-7/10 - Lacked a good plot or needed a better supporting cast or the kids were still up and you were distracted. FBG Equivalent: A trade involving kickers.
8/10 - Nearly perfect. FBG Equivalent: Players taken from the bottom of the first round to about the beginning of the 3rd.
9/10 - Flawless. Nothing like this will ever happen again until it inevitably does. FBG Equivalent: Jerry Rice 1995. Randy Moss 2007. Marshall Faulk 2000. LaDanian Tomlinson 2006.
10/10 - Pretty good. FBG Equivalent: 7 catches for 106 yards but no touchdowns in a .5 PPR

Day of the Jackal - Peacock
Enjoyed more than I thought I would. Eddie Redmayne knocks it out of the park as the titular assassin, almost felt like he was auditioning to play a darker James Bond. Action/plot isn't always believable but overall liked a lot and hope there's a 2nd season. If you like spy thrillers you can do much worse.

The Strange New Worlds crossover episode was hilarious

It went oops-missed dumb, but still enjoyed the sum more than the parts.

Really great easter eggs for the fans, too. Like the weird light-rod device in every sci-fi show ever, some of the ship names, and my favorite so far... the Ransom and Shaxs exercise scene callback to the infamous Troi/Crusher yoga exercise.

Why is 1923 missing 2 episodes? Was there a writers strike? Did it get too costly to produce?

Just finished Dear Child, a creepy 6-episode Netflix production about control and abuse. I enjoyed the show.
Prior to that finished From, which started off promising and then just continued to go downhill, like Penny Dreadful.

Scenes are not allowed to gather momentum, end too quickly, and often either don't connect together or change in tone completely. In other words it just starts and stops way too much.
I wanted it to be good. IMO it's just not.
Pip's Invitation

The 90-minute episodes vastly improve the show. There are too many twists and other game elements now, and fitting them all into 60-minute episodes often made for incohesive narratives.
45 would have been a painful season to watch with 60-minute episodes, but was entertaining with 90-minute episodes.
46 was the best newbie season since David vs. Goliath and had one of the best casts the show has ever assembled, and they were allowed to shine to their fullest with 90-minute episodes.
47 is somewhere in the middle. It would have been *fine* with 60-minute episodes but was a very good season with 90-minute episodes.

Disagree, loved it as filler story for so many threads 10,000 years into the future. To each their own.

Binged the two seasons of Lioness.
I guess I went in with high expectations, based on comments I've seen here and there. I thought it failed to live up to the hype and I thought most of the acting was atrocious.
I'm a fan of Zoe Saldana, but her constant screaming and crying was hard to watch. I would think a person in that leadership role would have better command of their emotions,
Kidman was good. I never quite understood her husband's character.
I did like the entire Operation Team. I would continue to watch future seasons. The show was good. Just didn't flip my switch as a "must watch".

A few years ago, I was introduced to a show called "Friday Night Dinner". It's hard to find now, for streaming, but Season 1 is available to buy or rent, which, I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you have the opportunity to see a few episodes (or money is no object) and determine if the show is your sense of humor. It's British humor. So that might eliminate some viewers.
For me.....this is one of the top 5 funniest shows I have ever seen. It did take an episode or two to warm up to it, but once I got the characters, I couldn't get enough.
The premise is two sons that visit their parents every Friday night for dinner, and the neighbor that interrupts dinner each episode.
If you wanted a taste check out Youtube under the search of "The best of Martin Goodman on Friday Night Lights" (the father), or "The best of Jim on Friday Night Dinner" (the neighbor).

Severance is a must watch, especially with season 2 around the corner. and for anyone who starts watching and doesn't know what the **** is going on in the beginning...rest assured, that's normal. hang in there!

Wife and I love this and that's a great way to describe it. Not for everyone for sure but I find it very moving.

It's a very good show, I agree. Bunch of misfits and outcasts helping each other out.
I haven't seen the latest season and will have to watch it soon.

Really liked the first season - The Prick was a great villain.
Still warming up to the second season.

Forgot about another S Apple show that we like:
Silo - based on a book series
Dark Matter was another interesting Sci-Fi’ish series based on a book
Zow
Footballguy
I think Apple does a great job producing good but flawed shows (let's say 7/10s).
Ted Lasso and Severance are the exceptions as those are exceptional shows. Slow Horses, Silo, Foundation, Shrinking, Bad Sisters, that show about the guy who goes to prison to get a confession out of a serial killer, etc. are all worth watching.

I'm 4 episodes into Say Nothing, and wow! this show is phenomenal. Anthony Boyle is turning into one of the those actors where I will watch anything that he's in.

Started Rogue Heroes last night. Pretty incredible story of how the British SAS was formed in WWII. Also a pretty fun watch.
1941. British forces are on the retreat in North Africa and Rommel is heading for Egypt. Three British Lieutenants - David Stirling, Jock Lewes and Paddy Mayne - have an idea for a force that will operate behind enemy lines, attacking key installations - airfields, supply depots etc. Thanks to the work of Lt. Colonel Dudley Clarke, an intelligence officer, the ideal unit, the Special Air Service Brigade, already exists...on paper. Now it is up to Stirling, Lewes and Mayne to make it a reality.

Ugh. There’s still an option for subtitles right? Dubs are usually horrible.

Yep. I generally have sub titles on everything I watch. Ha ha. Could prolly be an entire thread on this topic. I have no idea why, but Squid Games for some reason kept me entertained season 1. Watched the 1st episode of season 2 last night and once again this weird show keeps me entertained. Can't explain it.

“No Good Deed” on Netflix. Ray Ramono, Lisa Kudrow, Dennis Leary, Luke Wilson and a handful of others. Just wrapped up the series. Kind of a dark comedy, drama, with lots of cliffhangers. Very easy watch and well paced. Would recommend.
