Is anybody watching Warrior Nun? That looks teh Stupid too, but I might have to give it a go, haha.

Both Cursed and Warrior Ninja are based on comics. The latter which I was aware of, both of which, however, I haven't read. :P

The wife and I watched Warrior Nun, and liked it. Just started watching Curse, and the first episode was okay. Haven't gone back to it just yet.
 
Just finished Pine Gap and very much enjoyed. A slow moving political chess game show about a shared US/Australian defense intelligence base in the Australian outback, and how they maneuver shared vs. behind your back intelligence while trying to avoid a China/US war with Australia in the middle. Oh and with a potential mole in the middle.

Slow moving and not a 24-type action show, much more behind the scenes. But with only 6 episodes easy to get through, with a lot happening fast. Sure some characters have that "wtf are you thinking" moments, but it was fun to see play out and easily sets up a second season if netflix green lights.
 
Dude The Babysitter: Killer Queen was all kinds of dumb fun! You know, if you like laughing, teenage drama, and lots of body parts exploding at random times..
 
I gotta say that Hubie Halloween was terrible. I'm generally a Sandler fan, probably more so his earlier stuff but I literally laughed zero times during this flick. Ugh.
 
Bly Manor is hella tite. Then I went and watched The Innocents again after I finished and that felt like a cliffsnotes version. Haven't read the book though. Anyone else feel though that Flanagan's two Netflix shows follow the same pattern?

Russian. Awesome. It's juuuust a little topical. Russian title was "Epidemic." So yeah. Imagine COVID, but with a 100% mortality rate and what that might do. You've got "To the Lake." Good ****.

Wow. Are we dealing with the pandemic differently. You're steering into the madness and I'm drifting further away from actual reality.

Gosta. Swedish show about a kind hearted man, who has taken a job in a small town and lives in a minimalist cabin in the woods. He's a child psychologist by day and every single person in his life (family, friends, exes, strangers on the street), need his help. And he's absolutely there for them. He rides a bike, has a canvas tote and for sure recycles. It's listed as a comedy but to me it's science fiction.

It's shot beautifully and as an American I can say there is no way this show would make it out of the elevator pitch process but as a European show... compelling.

HBO Europe (max option?)
