Silo. Finally got around to watching it. Only a few episodes left and it’s been really good so far. I was glad to read it got renewed for another season as well.

Suits. It's so bad but I keep letting Netflix play the next episode.

Severance is probably the best new show I've seen in quite a while. It really surprised me too that the whole thing was directed by Ben Stiller!

I've been watching Good Omens, Cunk on Earth, What We Do In The Shadows and Walking Dead: Dead City.

Good Omens is great so far, I'm on the penultimate episode of season 1 and you can feel a lot of Gaiman and Pratchett in the dialogue. I haven't read much of the book, but I just started it as well. The show is witty and hilarious, with a lot of heart and some great actors in the cast.

Cunk on Earth is An Idiot Abroad meets Nathan For You, and I love it. A smart person acts dumb to get very smart people to meet her halfway in interviews on the dumb shit she says, only for her to double down and say the wildest dumb shit. It's very funny.

WWDITS is still funny in the most recent season, but it's become a hang out show like Always Sunny where there's very little remaining plot and it's "the gang visits the mall" or "does pride". Still good, but wish there was a little more meat on the bone.

Dead City isn't bad. I stopped watching the original show after the Whisperers first were introduced, but the new show seems higher budgeted and has a little new life infused into it. Not my favorite show, but I'm enjoying watching it with my family.
