    The wife & I decided to treat ourself and signed up for HBO for two months (Jan & Feb).
    Pretty expensive at $15/mo (and already paying for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/Disney+)

    Our watch list:
    1. The Flight Attendant. This has Haley Cuoco from Big Bang. 76 score on Metacritic. The best part is probably, unfortunately, the opening episode, the James Bond-ish title graphics/song, and Cuoco in low-neck dresses. Its all over the place as plot and characters. We didn't like it. I can't recommend.
    2. I Hate Suzie. British show about former teen star that sort of stumbled through acting and then gets some sexy picks leaked on internet. This got an 85 on Metacritic, but after 3 episodes we weren't digging it and stopped.
    3. The Undoing. -current show- This got a 64 on Metacritic... but so far we like this one much more than the other two... though the plot has been done... its basically Big Little Lies (and it includes Nicole Kidman) except there is a murder to *open* the shows plot and it takes place around private school parents in New York... not LA. Hugh Grant is pretty good.

    We also tried to watch Elizabeth is Missing (which is 2nd highest rated "Last 90 Days New Shows" on Metacritic with 86).
    But its for the Downtown Abby crowd - and even released on BBC, then PBS in the US... so, go figure.

    My favourite part of HBO is the 21 Studio Ghibli movies available there through the US-partner: GKIDS.
    If you have kids btw 5-12... these are some of my cartoons to watch.
    The Japanese animation is really rich with story/characters and moves at a much slower pace... which I think is a good chance for kids from the more-intense Pixar/Disney movies.
    We might have to switch to some of the HBO movies... because the shows aren't cutting it.

    We switched to some cult-ish show last night called "The Vow" (HBO).
    This got a 76 on metacritic - about some people looking for life purpose/direction that end up in a cult.
    Sounds familar, right... but these are always interesting and through two episodes the tension/drama is building nicely.
    It also sets the show up by starting the opening with a judicial decision that came down on the leader -
    and that's kind of like this "WOW... how the fugg did something end up getting to that point!"

    Hopefully the 3rd season of My Brilliant Friend (set in Italy) will come out this spring on HBO... we both like that.


    I'm always checking this thread for good husband/wife show-stuff.
    Keep those posts comin!

    Just finished Das Boot season 1 and 2, excellent series and you don't even have to be a WW2 buff to get in to it. Found it on CGC Gem in Canada but it is a European production with lots of subtitles

    The Flight Attendant definitely fell into a "don't watch it unless you've watched everything else" for me.

    The ending wasn't clean, it felt rushed, made no sense, things were thrown into the ending to try and make sense but didn't. Didn't like it because of the ending. If it was ANY other actress, I prolly wouldn't have finished. I wonder how much COVID made them rewrite the ending. Seemed very smooth and build up until the back half of the season when it was rushed.

    Finally got around to watch the new-ish seasons of couple of my fave shows.

    Bosch season 6. The decent crime drama continues pretty strong as previous seasons so you know what to expect if you’re a fan of a show. Of course season 1 still the best...dark and disturbing...just the way I like them, haha

    Sinner season 3. This was a MAJOR let down even more so than the latest Fargo. A shame really, as a story is pretty weak given how awesome season 1 was. Hope they will rebound.

    I watched part 1 and really enjoyed it. I'm an avid golfer (play 75 rounds a year), so perhaps I'm not the best judge, but I feel the story is worthwhile watching even if you aren't a golf/sports fan.

    Agree about Cobra Kai. My youngest loves it. He is 11. I watch it for him mostly, but its not terrible. There arent many shows the entire family will watch so, I do enjoy it. I give it a 6.5. Probably a bit lower if I wasnt watching it with the fam.

    Cobra Kai is so damn good. I'm amazed how they flipped the script. Team Johnny, all the way.

    Me and the missus started watching Euphoria. Man...... the first episode was a hard watch. I mean, it was well acted and the story is interesting, its just a bit soul destroying to watch. The 2nd episode was a bit better. Not as shocking. If I can handle the emotional trauma of watching it, I think it'll be a good show.

    The writers are amazing on that show, especially for Johnny's character.
