Whatever you do, DO NOT star the Hunting Wives. It's like Charlie Sheen's waning crack. It's horrible for me, the effects are waning and I can't stop myself from watching. I'll be done by tonight.

I enjoyed all three with Severance as my preferred - though the "good" Bear episodes are probably pinnacle TV. But you can't really go wrong with Slow Horses either.I will soon pick up a new series and looking at one with a few seasons under their belt. Severance, Slow Horses and The Bear seem to be the most acclaimed. I'm open to other suggestions as well because there are just too many damn shows spread out across networks to keep up with.
Note: I watched 2 random episodes of The Bear and thought it was mid at best. Still can't get over the tomato sauce can season finale

The Staircase is a personal favorite of mine because I had a case with very similar facts and circumstances (we, thankfully, won at trial). But, this documentary does a nice job with a tough case.

Gen V has been hit/miss so far, but I'm enamored with that universe so I'll probably give it a watch.

Black rabbit comes out tomorrow on netflix, Jason Bateman and Jude Law. IN
Set against the backdrop of New York City's high-pressure nightlife scene, two brothers are pushed to the brink by their duty to family and their pursuit of success. Jake Friedken is the charismatic owner of Black Rabbit, a restaurant and VIP lounge, poised to become the hottest spot in New York. But when his brother Vince returns to the business unexpectedly, trouble soon follows; opening the door to old traumas and new dangers that threaten to bring down everything they've built. Sometimes an unbreakable bond between two brothers can shatter their world, and everything in its orbit.

Holy Foundation Season 3 finale! I was not expecting those plot twists and now can't wait for season 4.

Might not be for everyone, but there's a series on Brit Box called Ludwig - it's a police/murder mystery show about a socially awkward super smart nerd who has to fill in as a cop for his cooler missing twin brother. Turns out his super smart skills make him a master detective. They really push his awkwardness in the first episode, but then it hits a nice groove after that. Ended on a cliffhanger, season 2 confirmed and is currently filming.
Six episodes, 1 hour each. More of a chuckle and smile show than a belly laugh type show. But I dug it.
Also watching Terminal List : Dark Wolf on Amazon and while it's not as good as the original Terminal List, it's very good. If it's your type of show you're probably already watching it.

Funny. I'm rewatching it now. It's not great - a serial bad guy of the week type thing. But Tim Roth rules. He's so great - he makes the show.

My wife and I watched the first few seasons years ago as a sort of backup when nothing else is on. I'd rate it a 7.

It was entertaining. I think I had it in my list for the top 300 shows thread the FFA did awhile back.
I like those type shows with an ultra observant detective type thing with some humor. It's mindless TV for sure but I am a sucker for it. Lie to Me was a short lived show with only three seasons but I will fire it up every so often when I just want this type of show to watch.

Watched the first episode, man, that was bleak. Really well done but human nature sucks lol.

Just watched the first episode and thought it was decent. Definitely in for the season to see where it goes. I'm also fairly confident the restaurant is loosely based on a place I used to frequent in the late 2000s called The Spotted Pig. It also had a 3rd floor that was a lot of fun.

Absolutely rules if the next 5 episodes are as good as the first 2, it will be one of HBOs best limited series ever. Deserves it own thread probably.

To be fair, Task is probably better than anything else that will air this year. It's a high bar.

Million Dollar Secret (Netflix)
This originally aired in March but I just got around to it yesterday after I saw it recommended in The Traitors subreddit. Binged all 8 episodes in one day.
Like The Traitors, The Mole and The Anonymous, this is a social strategy game where someone has a secret role that the others have to deduce. The difference is that the prize money ($1 million, obviously) is given to someone at the start by random selection. The winners of a challenge select someone from among them to receive a clue as to the millionaire's identity, which they can share in whole, in part or not at all with some or all of the contestants if they want, and the millionaire is given a secret task that will give them some sort of advantage if they complete it (sometimes they get a disadvantage if they do not complete it). At the end of each episode, the contestants vote for who they think is the millionaire, and the highest vote-getter is eliminated. If the millionaire is eliminated, the money is reassigned by random selection. Sometimes an advantage can be played that also reassigns the money by random selection. The endgame is a little like the box-switching finale of The Anonymous, but conceived and filmed better.
Obviously I got hooked since I watched the whole thing in one day. It was fun to see the cast learn the game as it went on, and to see alliances develop that sometimes led to decisions based on more than just "this is who we think the millionaire is". There was even a debate about whether to vote out someone who they knew was not the millionaire because of their threat level. Also helping was the gorgeous scenery. This was filmed at a lakeside resort in British Columbia -- and one challenge included three contestants being choppered to a glacier to retrieve ice from it.
The show has been renewed for a second season and I will certainly tune in.

It became obvious quickly that having the money in the first half of the game is a disadvantage, and having the money for more than a couple of cycles is a disadvantage because as more clues are given, the options for who could be the millionaire whittle down quickly.
The winner played brilliantly. They played a low-key social game for the first 2/3 of the time to build trust with everyone and keep their threat level low, and their game-winning move after becoming the millionaire was lying about something that they thought might come up in a clue and did. They also threw a challenge because they thought it would result in the elimination of the one person that didn't trust them, and it did. They also correctly anticipated what their opponents would do in the box-switching endgame.
Anyone cast on subsequent seasons who has seen this season should lie about anything they think will come up in a clue -- family structure, job, etc.
Some of the advantages were overpowered and led to random outcomes that led to the elimination of good players. But that is often the nature of these kinds of shows. Maybe subsequent seasons will dial those back a little. Clues that eliminate half the cast as millionaire possibilities are probably overpowered as well.
Casting knocked it out of the park except for Jaimi, who had zero concept of strategy and said some nasty things about some of her competitors. And she's a life coach? I certainly wouldn't hire her.

Just 2. I am very invested- what are they going to do about the kid? Who is the rat? Who is the mole? How ugly is thos home life situation with Ruffalo going to get? It's been pitch perfect so far IMO.
