The first 3 episodes of Better Call Saul have been excellent.

First one was poor, last 2 been brilliant

Can't remember who recommended it but The Bureau is fantastic, seven episodes in and I'm absolutely gripped.
In the beginning, it was me.

Poor, in your opinion. Most every other BCS  critic gave it fulsome praise, "sublimely subdued" is a description I liked. The first episode is a watermark (Chuck's death) in the slow burner drama that is the transformation of Jimmy into Saul.

Finished the lost in space reboot on Netflix (after having given up on it a while back), good show.

Anybody who I know that watches the show was also very disappointed with the episode, especially considering that it was the first one back.

Watching Cobra Kai and it's shit but very enjoyable. Johnny Lawrence has some clinker one liners. As presumably already mentioned if Karate Kid wasn't your thing I wouldn't bother but if it was you'll likely enjoy it.

Browsing my VOD there and just discovered there's a 2nd season of Mr Mercedes.. Excellent news.

Has anybody watched The Alienist, a 10 part tv drama based on a well regarded book by Caleb Carr?

Yes it was 6/7 out of 10. Very hard to watch from the start (we nearly gave up on it) but we stuck with it and, Yes it's not too bad.

All Hail King Julien on Netflix. Kids animation series with plenty for adults! Very funny.
