I’ve watched Mr Mercedes to about midway through season 2. Just found it too jarring the way it changes from serious detective drama in the first season to supernatural thriller in the second. It’s just too weird a change. Season one was good, though.
I did try Spartacus, but it all seems a bit cheap and flimsy? Couldn't finish one episode. I guess I should give it a second chance.
Doom Patrol is crazy good. One of the most out there TV creations ever. Perpetual Grace Ltd is by the same writing (and mostly acting) team as Patriot, so if you like that, definitely try it. If you don’t like Patriot you probably won’t like PGL.
Pennyworth I can’t bring myself to watch. I just find the entire concept of a series exclusively focusing on Batman’s butler completely ridiculous. I just don’t think there’s any getting around that for me.
I managed about six episodes of Counterpart, but it just didn’t hit the spot for me. I would say too slow but I’m not sure that’s it. I just finished and loved Tales From The Loop and that is the definition of slow. No, I think it’s more like too little actually taking place in the allotted time. Vacuous. Not my tempo.
I’ve watched both seasons of Castle Rock. Both have strengths, but I would’t award either more than a 7/10. Watchable, but nothing to write home about.
Haven’t seen any of the others.
