I watched:
- The new Murderbot episode. I find the throuple storyline a lot more annoying than the short episode length. Whatever Gurathin and Murderbot have going on remains my favorite aspect of the show.

- Slow Horses S1. I like none of the characters (except for Catherine), so I don't think this show is for me.

- Two episodes of The Buccaneers S1. Very pretty, but I can't see myself rooting for any of the main characters.

- Two episodes of Mythic Quest S1. Not really feeling it, particularly Pootie Shoe and Jo. I'm giving it one more episode.

- One episode of The Studio. Didn't feel it.

Just couldn't get into the Studio either. Agree that Buccaneers makes for a pretty view but I'm not very taken with it as a romantic series. We haven't yet finished S1 but perhaps we'll feel differently.

Slow Horses does indeed start rather unlikable. I'm not sure they really change but they do broaden.

It has quality writing, but I just don't care about anyone. Plus, I've already been spoiled about the fates of some of the characters, and that doesn't entice me to "wait and see".

S1 spoiler

Sid's disappearance really put the nail in the coffin. :/

Yeah, we only lasted about 20 minutes. But then recently I heard about the Tetris movie, which sounds not completely unlike "Scorsese does Kool Aid" in concept, and that made me wonder if I should give it another try. ;-p

I actually liked the Scorsese episode! It's simply that episodes 3 and 4 didn't feel as strong as the first two. :/

The most recent Murderbot episode felt like it was just the first part an episode and then it ended. I agree about the throuple. It could be interesting, but at the moment it just takes up time that could be spend on more important aspects.
