didn't like naked and afraid because it reminded me too much of trying to watch porn on scrambled cable tv.

[Redondo]

Finished 3 seasons of Kominsky Method

Started out slow, but character development was good and the writing improved as it went along. 

Wife and I enjoyed it.

I know I'm like four years late, but I finally just started watching Westworld. I'm about four episodes in. Fascinating show. 

For the longest time, I thought it was a show about a literal amusement park in the future (like a Disneyland for adults with prostitute robots). I didn't know it was a Western world. Yes, I'm dumb.

Netflix:  The Mitchells vs the Machines  Don't know how I landed on this one.  But one thing Netflix does well is have those short commercials for each movie.  So gave it a shot, and for an animated show, it was pretty funny.  Everything was pretty predictable in it.  But they really added a lot of weird stuff.  A good movie for the family.

Ha ha, I made the same mistake, too influenced by the Yul Brynner film of the 70's so I came to it late too.

It's an excellent show, it broadens and gets better as the seasons pass and is a really superior Sci-fi series.

Watched 3 episodes of S1 of Alone and I like it.  Pretty intense at times.  The bear factor is crazy. I like the fact that there's no narration over the footage from someone not participating.  It makes them all seem more isolated. The funny thing is when some say they didn't anticipate it being like it is... Really?

I imagine some of the success is the luck of the draw and it's all about what location they end up at.  Some seem to have immediate access to water, where others have to do more searching.

In any case - it's pretty good stuff.

One thing is that there are a lot of swear words

The first season is pretty decent.

Finished season 2 of LoD. I enjoyed that the characters seemed to fit nicely into the grey area between good and bad rather than settling for one or the other. I think I'd prefer to see a little more of the flawed without the moral superiority or the hot and cold characterization but all in all quite entertaining though.

Interested to hear your thoughts after S3.

Went to bookmark it and found out I’d already done so several weeks ago.

Really enjoying "Alone." The last 4 guys from S1 have some mad skills. I have a lot of respect for what they've accomplished so far.. This show is easy to binge.

I probably wouldn't last an hour in those conditions.

I fell off midway through season 2. Is it worthwhile to jump back in?

Yes stay with it (I wobbled mid season two so there must be a problem with the script or narrative there). It gets darker and the characters deeper (especially Dolores) as it progresses and there are some pretty cool Sci-fi concepts throughout. Top quality Sci-fi in my view - not quite as good as The Expanse but then what is?

I think the seasons get better as they progress too. Season 7 was my favourite, some mad stuff going on in that one. And you're absolutely right, those guys have some serious skills and major depths of resilience, no pretenders there, it's kinda humbling sometimes.

My power was out for 9 hours once. 

I barely survived.

S1 E10 Alone

Spoiler

When it got down to 4 guys, I thought Lucas would win.  The dude had some mad skills, but of course there's more to survival than skills.  When Mitch tapped out, I wasn't too surprised.  First season is winding down for me (Sam and Alan remain) and it's been terrific.  I have liked Alan from the beginning... I'm pulling for him now, but it wouldn't shock me if Sam won.  For sort of a goofy guy, Sam is frickin' tough.

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this series.  It's even better than Survivor Man. Thanks again, Lou.
