Just finished The Americans last night (I know I'm late to the party). I can't say I totally bought into the plausibility of the double and triple and quadruple lives they were sometimes leading, but overall it was a great series that explored a lot of interesting, complex issues. I will admit I was skeptical at first, but it is certainly high quality entertainment. Will probably watch it again.

We finished Barbarians over the weekend. I read a lot of history and prehistory, and usually shows/movies like this irritate the shit out of me. I think the producers did a good job of listening to their consultants, and we enjoyed it. It’s not long- just a 6-episode series.

I have to say Wayne is well worth watching. Don’t think my wife would like it though.

I'm assuming that The Crown has been mentioned. Just got sucked into season 4 as a bystander, and, I have to admit, it's great fun. Total eye candy. Gillian Anderson as Thatcher is brilliant. Just brilliant.

Probably mentioned multiple times above, but The Bodyguard (netflix) is really good. You'll blow through the 1 season in a few days.

[SPOILER] Everything got resolved neatly at the end so maybe not.

Flight Attendant on HBO Max is really good. Highly recommend it.
I burned through all five episodes out with the intention of watching one.

Utopia (2013)
I recently polished off the 2 season, 12 episode run of the original UK series.
It is fantastic if you dig well acted, expertly directed, and multi-layered sci-fi conspiracy plots.
It runs the gamut from absurdist to chillingly creepy to over-the-top moments of violent mayhem.
Afterwards, I attempted to watch Amazon's 2020 remake and barely made it through the first episode; it was excruciatingly horrid in all respects.
But the British series is off-the-nuts top notch.

Not new at all (aired 2007-2010), but my wife and I have been enjoying Gavin & Stacey on Amazon Prime. Really good, light-hearted British humor.

Trying to find a way to watch this but unsuccessful - suggestions?

I somehow glazed over the UK disclaimer at first read and was doubting your credentials.
I watched more than I'd like to admit of the amazon version. It had the absurdity and it had the violence, but none of it ever really came together.

I'm on an HBO Max free trial right now.
TV Shows - Undoing and The Flight Attendant
Both are totally worth watching. Bingeable and never really boring.

Cobra Kai S3 drops New Year's Day.
I just started The Flight Attendant on HBO Max. I hate absolutely everything about The Big Bang Theory and I wouldn't have watched it if I knew Kaley Cuoco was in it, but to my complete surprise, she is awesome in this series. A great bloody murder comedy about someone who's lost touch with reality, or has she?
