Catch up on [The Expanse](https://www.amazon.com/The-Expanse-Season-1/dp/B018BY68ZW) before season 4 drops on Friday.

[Hanna](https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07L5YC8NJ/ref=atv_hm_hom_1_c_RTYK8z_6_9) and [.](https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07QMKXRFL/ref=atv_hm_hom_1_c_RTYK8z_6_6)

The Man in the High Castle is good.

I’m working my way through The Feed right now. Its OK, has some interesting ideas, but is a little slow.

On Netflix:  
Lost in Space, the new series.  
I liked “Glitch”.  
Its not sci-fi, but “The Spy” was excellent. Sacha Baron Cohen in a serious role.  
“Love Death and Robots”  
“Black Mirror”  
“Russian Doll”  
“The OA”  
“Altered Carbon”

If you’re not opposed to subtitles, I recommend _Hotel del Luna_. It’s a Korean drama set in a hotel in which all the clients are ghosts, stopping over on their way to the afterlife. The story mostly centers around the owner (who has been cursed to run the hotel for the last 1,000 years) and the new manager, an ordinary human. I’m most of the way through the series and I find it interesting.

You can watch it for free at [Viki.com](http://Viki.com), though if you want to watch it in hi-def then that requires a subscription.

Read the books. From what I can tell, they fuck up the story pretty hard in the TV show.

Well, Chernobyl is quite new and Supernatural unfinished and on its final season, so I don’t see how the “newer” criteria works.

I’m quite enjoying HBO’s Succession, a comic drama about a billionaire old man’s family vying to take over the company.

Snowfall, about Crack entering the LA Drug scene in 1982 is very good too.

Watchman, still showing, is very good too.

If you have Amazon Prime I would recommend Carnival Row.

I’m assuming you’ve seen “The Good Place” already.

I have to say that “Final Space” on Netflix was an odd little animated series I enjoyed far more than I anticipated. I thought it was going to be an “incompetent idiot screws up comically - in space!” show but it really, really isn’t. I suspect it’s an acquired taste but don’t let the first episode fool you - it’s goes in some unexpected directions.

I just finished binge re-watching “Galavant” on Netflix, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s tonally _very_ different from “Haunting of Hill House” and “Supernatural”, but it’s fantasy, and one of the most just plain _fun_ TV series I’ve ever watched.

If you’ve not seen **Firefly** I highly recommend it. It was on Netflix at one time, not sure if it still is. Sci-fi. Only one season followed by a movie called **Serenity**.

Breaking Bad is on Netflix i believe, if you haven’t watched it you should pause all other activities until you are done.
