      Chernobyl was fucking amazing. From the first couple minutes it sucks you right in and doesn’t let go until the very end. When I first watched it, I ended up watching the whole show in a night, then showed my sister-in-law the very next day and we watched the whole thing again.

        As someone else that really enjoyed it, it’s kind of a combination. Predominantly it’s a horror show with strong Lovecraftian themes, but it also takes place in the 1950s US South and really uses that setting as it’s own flavor of horror.

        Maybe like Lovecraft and Stephen King made a movie set in the racial tension of the 50s.

        Lovecraft Country is an Anthology show of “horror” stories that incorporate some Lovecraft themes.

        The first two episodes were good, the rest of it is unwatchable trash.

        Leftovers was good! Fun fact- they made Justin Theroux wear two pair of undies because they got so many comments on his sweat pants jogging scenes.

        1 was the little stick things. 2 was LA? 3- oh yeah, the guy with different times… Good but you really have to pay attention. 4 was alaska. I think one and four are best, then three. I couldn’t get into season two.

      Incredible show. The original short format series before the HBO version was also amazing, though I don’t know where to find it anymore

    The best show on HBO is Six Feet Under. At the very least, it has the best ending, of any TV series, ever.

    Bonus: Gay Dexter (but really, all the lead actors are great, not just Hall)

    As much as i would say watch the Wire or Sopranos, unless you are glued to your TV a month is hard to finish one of those. The latter is 90ish hours alone.

    I would focus on the short and sweet ones alongside maybe one of those. Band of Brothers, Rome, Deadwood are all ones you can easily finish.

    I liked Hacks a lot.

    Rooster

    I haven’t seen it yet, but Larry David’s new historical comedy.

    Barry

    I’ve also been re-watching ER there.

    They also have a good cosmology show How the Universe Works
