I love to watch TV. Sometimes I have it on even if I do something else during "watching" (knit or bead). I have my favorites, it would be nice to know which ones are your favorites, I'm always up to a good recommendation. My recent binge was a Korean drama called "Vincenzo". It's 20 episodes, 1 episode runs about 1h 20min. It is on Korean language, english subtitled.
The story is about a Korean born man, who is adopted at a young age by an Italian mafia  , and brought up to be a mafia layer. He helps a Chinese mafia boss to hide his gold in Korea. This Chinese boss dies, and the only person knows about the hidden gold is Vincenzo. He travels back to Korea to recover the gold, just to learn, that getting to the gold is not so easy.
The series is seriously entertaining, it is humorous, gory, intriguing in one package. I don't want to say more about it, you may would like to watch it. Here is a trailer:

I get HBOMax as I also subscribe to HBO on my cable system. I intend to catch up on True Detective as I did love the first season. (The second season not so much.) I finally subscribed to a package which includes ad free Hulu along with Disney+. The Mandalorian is the main reason for that one. I have yet to see it but will eventually. As for Hulu, they have the series Fargo which I need to continue watching after the terrific first season. I get Peacock as it comes with Xfinity. They did have the movie Casino Royale which I had not seen (not sure why I missed that one in the theaters as I love James Bond movies). I used to watch MeTV (or rather have it on in the background) but stopped as they seemed to have added way too many commercials and have stopped playing the older 1950s television shows in favor of the usual  from the 1980s. (Well produced is still .) I do need to watch both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Good series I have also watched: The Boys (Amazon Prime) Bosch (Amazon Prime) 30 Coins (HBOMax) The Expanse (Amazon Prime) Really good series although the fifth season was quite flawed. The sixth and final season has three books worth of storylines to condense. Hopefully it turns out good instead of what they did to Game of Thrones. |

I just watched HBO's The Nevers and I must say it started out quite well. The fifth episode was the best but something happened as the writers decided to spoon feed us for the mid season finale. Why do they insist us viewers are so stupid? We like the stories to take their time to develop.
The added future scenes at the beginning of episode 6 were your generic action science fiction. Then we get a long back story before we reach a rather muddled climax. What was a quite good science fiction series based in Edwardian England is now about time traveling aliens.
I will not be back when the second half of the series begins.
