1. The Residence - which I've been slowly watching, each episode is like its own separate movie. It's kind of Knives Out meets Upstairs, Downstairs in the West Wing, albeit with a mostly Black and LGBTA cast. Also a few Australians.
2. Andor - which I plan to start this weekend, although I may need to re-watch the last few episodes of the first season prior. It's been awhile since I saw it.
3. Wheel of Time - I need to catch up though, I'm two seasons behind, and I don't quite remember most of the first season, which I watched a while ago.
4. Etoile the new series "about ballet companies that trade their star dancers is Slings and Arrows plus Call My Agent! plus Bunheads plus Luke Kirby, who’s yelling at Simon Callow, who plays a knockoff David Koch. If you’ve seen an Amy Sherman-Palladino show before, it’s like that except 400 percent more" - according the television critic from New York Magazine.
5. Hacks - continuing with the third season, which is hit or miss, when it hits - it's excellent, when it misses, sigh. About a twenty-thirty something bi-sexual female comedy writer working for a sixty-something comedian. Stars the brilliant Jean Smart.
And.. looking forward to continuing my re-watch of Buffy, I'm on S2, which is by far the better season. It has the unprecedented (at the time) flip of the romantic hero. It flips the whole Beauty and the Beast trope - in this the Beast is "cursed" with a human soul. Break the curse? He reverts to being pure evil. I am skipping some episodes here and there, and you can tell which episodes were written by the better and more seasoned television/screenwriters. Say what you will about Whedon - he was good at dialogue, so was Greenwalt. Some of the other writers...eh, not so much. There's some episodes that are cringe. Although, they apparently knew how to write for Dru and Spike, or the actors just were able to change or make the lines better.
