Maniac (Netflix) was an enjoyable watch in the vein of Legion.

Yuusha Yoshihiko is pretty much old school (read: First generation FF & DQ) JRPG turned TV show plus a dash of āreal worldā problem solving.
After one episode of Altered Carbon it seems like I should just go watch GITS:SAC 1st GIG again instead.
We just finished off Netflixās A Series of Unfortunate Events and I fucking loved it. Never read the source material, so this was my only exposure.
I was initially taken in by clever wordplay and the fantastical setup, but I really appreciated the maturation of the themes as the show went on, particularly the way it morphed from a black-and-white depiction of right and wrong to the much messier gray area of adulthood. An excellent tale of growing up and coming to grips with the messiness that is life.
Also, Neil Patrick Harris is a national treasure.

I need to watch this show.
Iām halfway through the new season (5) of Luther, that just came out. While Idris Elba is always amazing, and I love past seasons of the show, this seasonās plot just isnāt really doing it for me. Maybe things will improve in the latter two episodes, but I kind of think that the writers of Luther just donāt know what to do with the show anymore and just need to let it end.
Also, Miss Sherlock was a lot of fun. Itās hard to separate the show from Sherlock, but I thought this new Japanese adaptation was good and worth watching. Itās interesting how resetting Sherlock Holmes into Japanese society compares to Benedict Cumberbatchās almost over-the-top portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.

Agreed, Luther was dragging and the ending was just 
I wasnāt feeling it, and Alice felt more plot-device than human.

Granted, I havenāt seen the final two episodes yet, but I definitely agree that, so far, Alice seems more like a plot device, to create tension and suspense, than a real human. I kind of like the āactualā case so far, and wish Alice wasnāt involved at all.
Having just binged the previous four seasons of Luther over the past couple of weeks, I wish they had gone in a different direction for the fifth (final?) season.

Iāve been looking for something to watch with my so, heard good things about The Orville, we both like SciFi, and I wanted to watch something lighter, so The Orville it was!
We got to Ep 6, Krill, and it really showed that while Seth really wanted to do a StarTrek show that was real, like people go to the bathroom, coworkers grouse on the bridge, his dynamic between him and his XO is hilarious, he really wanted to show honest to god hard philosophical problems. Iām glad that even just the episode 6 exists, StarTrek always seemed to be very morally black and white, very sterile. This is definitely not that. Itās messy, itās real. Itās currently my favorite StarTrek. I havenāt watched Discovery yet though, so who knows?

There already was an animated Star Trek oddly enough. And Nickelodeon aired reruns of it back in the 80ās.

I knew about the 80s series. I had no idea Nickelodeon aired it, though.
