>Don't Look Up

This was awesome. Lots of great laughs.

1883 TV series is shaping up nicely.

Worth watching: Severance

Devs seems promising, by Alex Garland who also wrote and directed Ex Machina.

Chernobyl was also quite good.

We've been digging the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Anson Mount seems to a great pick for the role of Captain Pike. The Spock actor seems a bit weak, but who wouldn't have trouble filling Nimoy's shoes.

Shining Girls is a bit weird but interesting so far. Severance has been great. Succession is also solid.

So much better than Picard and Discovery.

>@Drastic: We loved the first season on For All Mankind.

I think the show is pretty good.  I like what they can do with alternative timelines and, in that sense it reminds me of a Philip K. d##k novel.  I also like how they are using deep fakes of historic people.

Watching Sandman. We're both fans of the graphic novels, but read them long enough ago that we have only vague memories. For such a strange, magical, dreamlike story, they've done a pretty good job bringing it to the screen.

We also watched a season of Kim's Convenience, which is not that new, but it is pretty funny.

>Sandman

I had never read the graphic novels but started watching the show and really like it so far. From what I have heard of the graphic novels it seems like they are staying somewhat true to the source material. There are some episodes that when they are done I just sit there and say "wow, I have no idea what I just watched but that was pretty cool".

Cunk On Earth, on Netflix.

A mockumentary history of civilization. It's rare for movies, and even more rare for TV shows, to make me laugh out loud. This one did.

Jury Duty, it is a cross between The Office and The Truman Show.

It's on Amazon, free with ads or Prime.

The Foundation (Apple TV), very good SciFi based on Isaac Asimov's work.

>Cunk On Earth

Very funny stuff to me.

I have no idea what kind of taste you all have but I liked The Holdovers (2023).  It is kind of a slow  drama/comedy, semi-Holiday movie with Paul Giamatti.
