Long Bright River - watched the entire series and it was quite good but wasn't what I was expecting. I think I was expecting something almost like a nordic noir murder mystery, and while it was a murder mystery, it was a lot more gritty and "cop show" like if that makes sense. Reminded me a little of Chicago PD, actually.

Yellowstone - I started binging this not long ago since I liked the other shows (1923 etc) but hadn't watched the original yet, and actually, I didn't like S1 much, but then it just got good somehow and now I love it. I'm up to season 5 which I believe is the last season. Its a weird show in that I both love and hate every single character. But Beth especially.

Otherwise its just been movies and weekly stuff but nothing weekly that really stands out aside from:

The Pitt - this show has been consistently good since the start, but the last few eps especially have been amazing. So realistic. Highly recommend watching.

Coming up... season 3 of SurrealEstate I think starts this week? I'm not positive though.

Yellowstone really takes off in S3. (I kind of skipped over the first two seasons myself), and yes, it's an odd show in that I kind of hate and love all the characters. I was mainly watching for Beth though. That actress was really nailing that part. The writer also really knows a lot about horses and horse ranching, the whole side-story about horse training in Texas was excellent (that's in S3). I lost interest in S5, may come back to it. It has a tendency to recycle tired soap plots. They are planning on continuing it, just without Costner, who had a falling out with Taylor Sheridan. Bascially they got into a pissing contest.

I have to catch up on Surreal Estate as well.
