Yep.
Watch it with the Mrs, who loves it. I find it all a bit silly.
Each to their own I guess
Hmm funny that. Once we've binged the whole series, I'll be allowed to watch interesting stuff again.

Avoid Shadow and Bone. Marketed as the next Game of Thrones, it is nothing of the sort. It's a silly YA soap opera with boring characters and awful dialogue.

I had the same issues. I was hoping you might have more luck...
Looks like it might be available only when actually being broadcast? ie to live stream. I couldn't access any historical content related to Yellowstone on it.

This week I've been watching a 5-part police drama called Viewpoint. Not great but worth a watch, so I stayed with it and was looking forward to seeing the finale today...but I'll never know the outcome coz the lead actor Noel Clarke has just been accused of being a sleazebag by more than 20 women and ITV have pulled the last episode!
WTF

I'll fire it in here, because we don't have an; "old & newly discovered TV series thread" ...
Thru one of those goggle search tangents; I discovered the TV series,
"1990", from 1977, with the always excellent, Edward Woodward; & the equally excellent, & gorgeous, Barbara Kellerman.
Just finished Season 1; & If your like your SciFi dystopian, it's a diamond. No special effects; just brilliant writing & acting !
It's tag line was; "Nineteen Eighty-Four plus Six", & that's a spot on description; it takes Orwell, & adds the 70's level of experience of society & technology; & makes it much more credible.

Invincible on Amazon is every good.
Starstruck on Beeb is also very good.

Jupiter's Legacy is decent enough, so far better than expected.
Mare of Easttown has been very good so far.

I really enjoyed Fargo.
S4 is likely nothing to do with the others. They’re not really tied together.
But enjoy S1-3. Think I might re watch them after this.
There’s, I think a film too? Edit : yep dates back to 96.

I've never seen it, but from this endorsement I presume it's a bit along the lines of brokeback mountain?

Social media is a problem for series like this. The writer is too aware of speculation & fan theories so tries to write around them and retcon plot developments in. I thought the H reveal wasn't actually that bad. It was the elevator exit and the characters becoming parodies of themselves that was beyond awful.

Danielle Galligan is eye candy for the blokes
