We've watched all of Department Q over the last week and a half. It's very good if you don't mind your lead detectives being completely asshole-with-a-heart-of-self-loathing. More violent than my usual fare (there is police violence and also torture of the victim), but compelling enough that we didn't consider stopping.

A couple of episodes of Turning Point: The Vietnam War (Netflix) because Turning Point: The Cold War was so good. This is fascinating -- great, unflinching explanation of the history, especially the politics around it.

The first episode of Stick with Owen Wilson, which I'm on the fence about, but we'll probably watch more.

The Doctor Who finale, which... I think I’m just not the right audience for RTD’s style of story-telling? I’m really going to miss Gatwa on my screen, though.

El Eternauta -- We have two and a bit episodes to go in the season. This is great, very creepy, beautifully made. Would recommend going in cold, without spoilers. (And for that matter, please don't tell me anything!!)

Also, Poker Face (but we're an ep or two behind), Murderbot, and we finished season 5 of The Expanse last night (a rewatch).
