I didn't watch the end of that show. I think I stopped a few episodes before the end. I can't remember why.

I started watching another Hulu series called "Under the Banner of Heaven." It is based on a book and is a true crime story that centers around a radical bunch of Mormons in Utah back in the early 80's. It is fascinating though dark and creepy. A Mormon detective is investigating a horrific murder and discovers some unsettling things about the church. There is a lot of history mixed into the story.
Also am watching another series called "Transplant" that is about a Syrian refugee who is a doctor. It is a Canadian show but is on NBC (I think). I am watching it on Hulu. It's really good and I hope there will be a season 3!

I started watching "The Book of Boba Fett" on Disney+. It is no where near as good as "The Mandalorian" but it isn't bad. The handling of the flashbacks is sloppy which makes it annoying and hard to follow if you aren't paying close attention.
I am now watching « Love, Death and Robots » on Netflix, also quite good.
Short (10-20 minutes) Sci/fi stories written by good writers (e.g. John Scalzi, Michael Swanwick, Paolo Baciagalupi, Ken Liu etc.) in a variety of styles (animation, cartoon).
Reminds me of « Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams » on Prime video, also very good short SF stories.

I've watched the first two seasons. I think S3 comes out next week.
I thought the stories were OK. but I loved all the animation techniques.
haven't seen Electric Dreams. I'm going to put it on my list.
Electric Dreams is a collection of Dick's short stories. And if I remember correctly, Blade Runner is loosely based on one of them. I think the whole title was something like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

I have just watched the first episode of Moon Knight on Disney+. A Marvel story that is pretty cool!

I only watched partway thru the first and second episode. Did not like it at all.
This guy has some issues with the show too.
In 21 Seasons, Has There Ever Been a More Laughable Episode of 'Law & Order'?
As much as we may have been looking forward to the return of Law & Order after a 10-year hiatus, this season of the long-running series has been a failure. The series has forgotten what we loved about it --...

We watched it awhile ago and it was interesting and just kinda okay - I liked it because it was very different.

we started watching the netflix series Lincoln Lawyer last night and we are really enjoying it - I have read all the books and, of course, I have watched the movie and this is completely different with many people online complaining about the casting and that it isn't true to the books etc - I don't mind as it is entertaining and made us laugh too

I’m on season 14 of ER. This is a gripe…I know it’s just a tv show and probably not supposed to be realistic, but it annoys me how family members/loved ones are allowed to stay by the bedside of the injured patients while they are having their chests cracked open and and more and receiving critical, life saving care. They’re allowed to yell scream and cry the whole time the doctors are trying to save a life lol. 
Grogu, baby Yoda type, keeps me watching!
We watched the final episodes until very late last night and we both enjoyed it very much.

I saw the movie but not the show.
Based on your other comment, I dislike when someone watches something just to negatively pick it apart. it's easy nowadays to watch something else. Films and TV programs often take dramatic license. Fiction isn't meant to be documentaries. I remember reading the Dennis Lehane books and enjoyed watching the films based on some of them. Too many discussions online were about how little things weren't exactly like the books. No one forced them to continue watching. The same with the Little House series of books and on TV. It was a family show of the 1970s so they wanted to enhance for the viewing audience. It's been said that Laura Ingalls Wilder tweaked her books so they'd fit better for press. I'd also seen commenters complain about The Outsiders being almost too much like the book. Everyone cannot be pleased all of the time I suppose.
