I finished Bodies. I really liked it, but could never really get into the future stuff. The only thing I didn't like was the very last scene.

spoilers for the ending of Bodies

Why was Maplewood in the present? Why put KYAL on one of the buildings? It's a mini-series. There shouldn't be a somewhat open ending/hint that something else was going on/a cliffhanger. They did such a good job of giving all the characters happy endings, even something very hopeful for the queer couple in 1890 *shakeshead*

I liked the structure of the show. Episodes 1-6 are the time loop playing out as "normal" followed by an episode set mostly in 1890 and then the last episode breaks the loop. I feel like the last two episode could have been a bit more fleshed out, but they were fine.

Okay, maybe there is another thing I didn't like...so it all comes down to Mommy Issues? I suppose the whole "Know You Are Loved" makes sense. Still weird.

Nearly done re-watching Lockwood & Co. and for some reason I didn't enjoy it as much. Typically I like re-watching shows. We watched it in German. Maybe the dubbing made it lose a bit of its charm.

Next week Paradise is back for S2, the Scrubs revival starts, and Ghost is back from hiatus. I'm mainly looking forward to Ghosts ;)

I finished The Leftovers! Great show with an even greater cast. (I particularly enjoyed seeing Christopher Eccleston.) Now I need to find myself another finished HBO show with not too many seasons/episodes.

I'm looking forward to the remaining episodes of Bridgerton S4.

I didn't realize Scrubs was getting a revival!

Despite your complaints I think you liked Bodies better than I did. I thought the setup was fascinating but it became somewhat less interesting as it went along, even though I just wanted the mystery resolved.

I'm hoping we'll get to finish S4 before our subscription runs out next weekend.

Re: HBO the show that sprang to mind was Mare of Eastown. I thought Penguin was very good too -- both single season shows (so far).

We're watching our way through the extended edition of Lord of the Rings, including extras. Other than that, just The Pitt (the thing I was spoiled for has happened, so yay, I'm back to having no clue) and One Spring Night, which is progressing sooo slooowly, but it's worth it for Jung Hae-in's smile. (All the other boyfriends and husbands are The Worst.)

Am an episode behind on Jeopardy, caught up on Colbert and Daily Show wasn't airing last week.

Finished the documentary Naked Ambition, and the shows Four Seasons and Marcella. Enjoyed both of those. I thought Seasons was going to be a miniseries but it didn't end that way, and apparently there will be a second season. It looks like Marcella was finished in S3 given it's been 5 years since its last release.

Hope to finish Bridgerton S4 this week. Still working on S2 of Man on the Inside, am finding the series delightful. Began A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and might also finish it this week. I also have watched the first episodes of SG-1, and ow, is it dated.

Revival is possibly the wrong word? It's being brought back with the same exact cast except older and now in charge for a continuation or sequel.

Yesterday I read that it was already coming out. I heard about it being in development ages ago, but had no idea that it was ready to air lol

I really enjoyed it, but sometimes I wanted them to hurry up a bit. Taking six episodes to get to the point was long.
