Couple TV shows some may enjoy

The wife and I started watching "Paradise" on Hulu.

I'm not sure exactly what I expected the show to be, but it has so far exceeded my expectations. It's kind of like Lioness meets Lost meets 24 meets Fallout with a dash of The Good Place (sans comedy). I really don't want to say any more than that because there's so many twists just in the first 4 episodes, I don't want to spoil anything. Every time you think you know where it's going, it doesn't. Every time you think you have a character pinned down, you don't. Sure, I predicted a few of the twists, but only because I anticipated a twist. It's a lot of fun/intriguing and well acted.

I'm sure it'll eventually air on network TV, but it'll lose punch when it does. They'll have to cut dialog and neuter some of what makes it good for a "mass market."

 

Just finished American Primeval on Netflix. It's only a 6 part mini-series. It's B R U T A L! A darker, more violent, nastier version of Yellowstone's prequel, 1883. And yet, my wife LOVED it (she's usually not into darker stories).
My only quibble is that every time I saw Kim Coates as Brigham Young, I couldn't unsee Tig from Sons of Anarchy.


Lot's of stuff coming back in the next couple weeks we like: Yellowjackets. Season 2 wasn't nearly as good as season 1, but we hope the next (last?) season will be better.

Reacher season 3 looks to be awesome.

The final stretch of episodes for Cobra Kai. Here's hoping they stick the landing.

And later this year: The Last of Us, Stranger Things (the kids will be in an old folks home by now), and Righteous Gemstones.
