Transplant is pretty good. I believe it's a Canadian production, too, with Canadian actors.

After season 2 of Handmaid's tale there just wasn't any point for me.
Just too repetitive and lacking any real point.

Have heard good things about Interview with the Vampire and intend to check it out as a binge.

Sandman is not as terrible as its first episode implies, but overall makes some really poor choices. It's... fine... and the bonus episodes imply it may have an idea what to do going forward to be stronger, but it's nothing worth going out of your way for.
Thanks. We are on Wednesday right now. Should finish it up maybe tomorrow.

I really enjoyed the 1st Season, a show about a Toronto hospital set in Montreal. It's mostly Canadian actors except Scotsman John Hannah (Spartacus). I see that Sugith Varughese's role in the show has been expanded. As the hospital's Chief Surgeon, he had only three episodes in S1.

Exceptionally good actor.

It has gotten better, every season. It's season 3 now.

Shows promise

Based on the internationally best-selling novel by Gregory David Roberts, “Shantaram” follows a fugitive named Lin Ford (Charlie Hunnam) looking to get lost in vibrant and chaotic 1980s Bombay. Alone in an
unfamiliar city, Lin struggles to avoid the trouble he’s running from in this new place. After falling for an enigmatic and intriguing woman named Karla, Lin must choose between freedom or love and the complications that come with it.

Finished Wednesday. Decent first season with some of the actors finding their characters. Ortega was Fantastic with a newer take on the lead. The writing for the cast was good but I think the story itself could have been a bit better. It did keep me guessing but occasionally the editing and character turns were a bit choppy.

Worth a second season I think.

I've heard Wednesday is cute but kind of bland. The lead's performance is getting raves though, and seems to be what most people say make it worth watching.

I won't call it a Disney Teen Show. But it strayed close a few times. Different directors on episodes were noticable at times. It is a low commitment of 8 45 min episodes. And she really does make you laugh with the deadpan gallows humor.

1899 is new one also one I have to add to my list. From the German creators of Dark, a multilingual mind bending mystery. Andreas Pietschmann stars in both. I’m hearing good things about it so far but it will be a tough task to outdo Dark.
I watched it and it was so-so.

The first few episodes are slow, however the last few make up for it.

Disney fired their CEO, the bland crap they produce was not his fault. That's why they bought Fox Entertainment, only HBO rivals FX for quality programming.

The Bear is becoming the most written about show streaming. I can't resist it's call any longer, signing up with Disney to watch it.

With his work on The Bear and Selena + Chef, Matty Matheson has become bankable beyond being a chef. He stays grounded, he and Michelle (the cannabis chef) have breakfast on a frozen lake in Northern Ontario.
