You should give it a go. Stick with it, it's a little weird but I think you will like it.
Antony Star is absolutely fantastic.

On top of that this song was playing over the credits that rolled at the end of the final show of the series, and it turned me on to The National, who became one of my favorite bands ever...
Everything Disney is touching these days turns to shit...except what they acquired from Fox Entertainment. Due to a spat with Hulu, S2 of The Bear will not be available for streaming until July 19.
I may have no choice but to sign up to Disney +.

I just noticed that Prime has It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in it's rotation.
I know it's not a TV show, but unquestionably it is by far the most all star and all time ensemble of comedians in one presentation.
Lucille Ball, Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Jimmy Durante, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton, Jerry Lewis, Carl Reiner, Jack Benny, Larry Fine and so many more.

Most of the new episode, (season 2, episode 3), of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds takes place in near-present day Toronto. I recognize several locations, including the alley between Dundas Square and Massey Hall.
When I found out that blue comic Buddy Hackett was in the animated version of The Little Mermaid, I had to watch it. So I bought the DVD for my grandniece. I asked her recently how many times she's seen it, she told me she lost count.
The film came out 16 years before my grandniece was born...yes I'm an old fart.

Good Luck, Mr Gorsky.
According to a Buddy Hackett stand-up routine, on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on The Moon, after he said "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind", he then said "Good luck, Mr Gorsky.".
When asked about it years later by a former NASA employee at Mission Control Houston, Armstrong said that when he was nine years old, he had been playing baseball, and a home run ball ended up in the Gorsky's backyard. When he went to retrieve the ball, through an open window he heard Mrs Gorsky say "Oral sex? You'll get oral sex when that kid next door walks on The Moon!".

As a young boy and adolescent, my only exposure to Buddy was on TV which obviously had to be kept appropriate.
Then one time my parents came back from Vegas and they told me that they saw Buddy perform and that he was extremely filthy but in a funny way. They were not offended. Now I see what they meant. Up 'til now I'd never seen any stand up clips from Vegas of him. Thanks IV.
I just started watching The Gryphon on Prime and I'm only a couple episodes in but it's been good so far.
It's a German dark fantasy series set in the mid-90's.
Between that, Dark and 1899, Germany has some really solid genre series on streamers.

One of the best I have seen in a long time....Highly recommend.
Read the comments at the bottom of the YouTube video here to see what I mean.

No idea where you can stream this now but The Newsroom from 2012 was amazing. All you have to do is watch the first 5 minutes of the first episode and you'll be hooked.

The Newsroom may still be available on Crave.
Probably the best bad guy actor currently working is Joseph Sikora (Banshee, Power, Ozark) the man has guns that would make Arnold proud - I was thrown for a loop when he showed up on Beat Bobby Flay!? Apparently cheese eating Tommy Boy kicked his ass in Jack Reacher.
With Demetrius Grosse as Deputy Yawners.

Joseph Sikora and Tom Pelphrey were both in Banshee and Ozark, Pelphrey is currently dating Kaley Cuoco...sorry fellas.
If this clip shows how the show is written,looking forward to Power
This is hilarious.
I'm almost through the first season of Wheel of Time on Prime and it's excellent. I'm eagerly anticipating the second season in September. I watched Reginald the Vampire and it's great. I was on the fence after the admittedly underwhelming first episode but it's worth sticking with, dodgy FX aside.
I also started watching Only Murders in the Building and it's another show I regret sleeping on. As an added bonus, one of the episodes in S2 features a very passionate kiss between Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne.
I've been watching yet another one season wonder on Netflix, The Imperfects. It's really good but of course it's a show on Netflix, they hate giving shows a second season. It's funny because everyone is talking about how they're looking for their next Stranger Things. They might stand a chance of finding it if they stopped canning shows after one season. From the sounds of it, 1899 was poised to be just that and of course, they canceled it. Though I am hopeful another streaming service will pick it up or they'll at least do a movie to wrap it up.
Though I would prefer the full two or three seasons the showrunners were proposing. The slow burn is what made Dark so good and I can't help but feel that trying to condense a couple seasons of storytelling into a two hour movie will ruin it.
