Yellowstone has now more than run its course. Should have killed off at least one of Jamie and Beth when the chance arose. Their interknitted back story is just not enough for the bewildering actions they continue to take with each other. Eastenders.

I have loved the first 4 seasons of Yellowstone but am not particularly enjoying this season. The Jamie/Beth thing is well past its sell-by date. It's moved away from stories around the ranch to all this politics John is involved with now. I'll stick it out as I'm this far in but it isn't the watch it was.

I think (hope) it is bubbling along nicely and is ready to explode. Could do with wolfgate being over though

Brooklyn 99 is a great easy watching sitcom. Some great comic actors in it.

An Watcher

Let Him Go on Netflix with Kevin Costner.  Thought it was very good

That's a film. Yep, liked it too. Anything with Costner is usually enjoyable.

Having watched the end of the of The Walking Dead (it was just ok), I decided to revisit Fear the Walking Dead.
Watched first 4 series a couple of years ago I think.
Currently on season 7, post nuclear explosions.
It does a really good job of painting a grim picture, some tense viewing. Actually think it's much better than TWD.

I have persevered with Fear too, gone beyond a joke though.

Its brilliant and probably the best thing since Rogue One or Mandalorian. There are parts of Obi Wan etc... that are great but don't have the same consistency.

Oh!? I had heard bad reports so i put it to the back of my list.  I'll have to give it a go then

It's the best Star Wars output since 1977 imho.

Now firmly of the belief that the allure of Star Wars isn't about semi-invincible beings who are able to control matter, but is in how "normal" folks get affected by, react to and then counteract the evil empire.

Obi Wan's emphasis on a small set of indestructible characters, was a crock of piss more in character with a Marvel show. Andor is the opposite.

I think Star Wars is about psychology

Hadn't heard much about Andor. Does it work as a stand-alone, or how well would you need to know the entire back story?
