I don't care for any of the protagonists, frankly.

The only character I like is Drummer.

I like Amos and Mill-Ah

"Of course i'm jonesing for a second season of Altered Carbon. Hope it doesn't disappoint like S2 of True Detective did." - I'll second that... S1 of AC is a tough act to follow.

"I've been really unimpressed with The Expanse outside of the general world building." - Yeah, I had to force myself to finish season-3, and start season-4. Season-4 is much better. Give it 2-episodes, I think you'll like it.

Watched "6-Underground". Continuity was poor (as noted above) a lot of neon, unlikely technical capabilities, laws of physics violated.... better as background noise than a sit-down-and-watch movie.

Started "Lost in Space". Certainly a new twist on an old, campy, tv series. Into episode-2, I like it so far.

Amos is just generic-brand Jayne Cobb.

Miller was alright, and I liked the idea of a noir-ish detective in space, but that plot was dead by the end of season one.

Season 4 of The Expanse was good enough to finally edge out Battlestar Galactica as the best sci-fi show - and my favorite show - of all time. Amos is one of the most interesting characters of all time and I can’t think of any others off the top of my head that are comparable. He’s the rare original idea to come out of Hollywood/Vancouver, even if he was originally a book character.

I don’t have high hopes for season two of Altered Carbon. I can’t stand Anthony Mackie as an actor.

"The Two Popes" on Netflix was pretty good. Not my usual movie fare, but superbly shot and well acted.

As silly as it may sound, the Marvelous Ms. Masel on Amazon is actually pretty good. I was very apprehensive when my wife and her friend wanted to watch it but turns out I actually find it entertaining and amusing. We just started the third season.

I just started watching that also. Not the run of the mill series and I'm also finding it entertaining.

We are part way through Season 2. I find it very entertaining as well. Tony Shalhoub as Abe Weissman is genius. And the lovely Rachel Brosnahan as Mrs Maisel, I had never heard of her before but she shines in this period comedy.
