I watched Squid Game with subtitles because the English dub was terrible.

I've also been watching X-Men '97 on Disney+ and it is so good! Like a lot of people, the 90's series was my introduction to the characters. They're definitely aiming for a more mature audience.

I just started watching GLOW on Netflix as well and I think I'm going to stick with it. Any show where Allison Brie has two topless scenes in the pilot episode gets a pass in my books! All kidding aside, it seems like it's going to be really good and I have been a fan of Allison's for years. Her character on Community was one of my favorites.
For me foreign language shows are only watchable with subtitles. I hate dubs.

It was the same with Dark. I watched maybe two minutes with the dub then promptly went back to subtitles.

Bumping this one again.

I finished watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix this past weekend and it's an excellent sci-fi series from the people behind Game of Thrones and Lost.

I cannot recommend it enough!
It started off really good but its woke politics made me nauseous: no one is married, fathers are absent from parenting (sometimes for a daughters entire life), every adult is single or dating terminally serially, close friends outwardly lie to their close friends, no Caucasians are cast as normal [or heros], and they are constantly mocking Christianity. Why can't a story just be about the story? Why do the producers have to include all these subtexts?? Stopped watching after episode 3. The lead actress, Eiza González Reyna, is exceptionally beautiful. Probably would have stopped watching after episode 2 if she wasn't such a pleasure to look at.

:rolleyes: Also, please see the bolded sections. That is rich coming from someone who sees sex workers. Keep jumping at woke boogeymen.

To add to this, in response to your deleted reply, I guess I must not be an easily triggered white victimhood pissbaby because I didn't notice anything of the things you mentioned but then again, I think you're the type who looks for things to be offended by.

I’d also recommend 3 body problem on Netflix. It’s based on Hugo award winning books by a Chinese writer. Netflix could've adapted it better but the overall storyline is very unique and interesting for a genre that pretty much repeats itself.

I read 1 review. It was bad.
I never pay attention to reviews.....LMAO I found A Man in Full so riveting and entertaining, that I binged watched all 6 episodes at once. I'm sticking with my 9/10 rating. Highly recommend!!

Tom Brady Roast on Netflix. The professional comedians were funny, and his former Patriot team-mates who spoke were ok.

3 hours well-spent...

Lupin on netflix. Fairly entertaining.
I watched the 3 seasons (I think it was 3 seasons LOL). I liked it.

For another good French series, I liked Call My Agent. A farcical comedy about a talent agency.
