I am just finishing Longmire, and am absolutely loving it.
Sherlock is next.

I know it's been mentioned here already but finally got around to watching "The Platform" ("El Hoyo" en español).
Damn.... Watch if you liked Cube. I enjoyed it, but damn...
Also, if you do watch it, make sure to select the original Spanish audio for it. Don't bother with the English dub.
Been watching The Dragon Prince. Series made by the creator of Avatar: The Last Airbender (which I posted about before).
Great family stuff, we're all enjoying it. Lots of hidden pop culture references that my kid (and my wife, lol) are missing. And it's a great show for subtle messages of inclusion and diversity. There's a mixed race couple, a same sex couple, the king is black (well, brown), there's a strong character that is deaf, etc. None of this is even mentioned in the show, it's not heavy handed, these things are just part of the universe in which the story unfolds.

Totally rad. This is one of the best adrenaline junkie movies ever! Surfing, skiing, MTB, paragliding, mountaineering. It just doesn't get better.Thierry Donard gets two thumbs way up

One season left. A longer one, but it’s coming to an end. So sad, but can’t wait for it.

Last night I watched the Endless on Netflix. Very Lovecraftian-esque with excellent writing and presentation that kept me utterly riveted from beginning to end. A low budget indie film that kept me glued to the screen far more than any of the copy/paste action stuff Hollywood's been puking out these past few years.
The trailer makes it look more horror than it really is, so don't let it mislead you too much. REALLY enjoyed this one. Can't believe the actors and team are mostly unknown. To me at least. Oh, and the actress who plays Anna, Callie Hernandez, is SO fine. Anyway, here's a sneak peak:
Go check it out.
I started wasting time with Sex Education. Like most tv it’s not good but it is entertaining, and the gf likes it. Of course if it only showed Gillian Anderson in sexy robes for an hour I’d probably still give it five stars.

Watched "Her" with Joaquin Phoenix. Movie I've been putting off for years but since it's leaving Netflix later this month I thought I'd finally give it a try. Really interesting film that I enjoyed quite a bit. Typical Spike Jonze yarn so if you like his stuff, you'll like this one. Phoenix was OUTSTANDING in this. Must've been challenging pulling that off while essentially talking to himself during filming.
Back when this came out in 2013, the plot seemed so far fetched but now that we're such big advancements in AI leading up to 2020, now it doesn't seem so outlandish. We definitely have the earbuds. Heck, the real ones these days are even smaller. The way people were all going around just jabbering to their in-ear buds has already become a reality. Still a bit crazy, but perhaps less so these days which makes the movie that much more interesting to watch in 2020. Give it a shot if you want a quasi-romance film with a VERY unique take.
Edit: One last thing. Scarlett Johansson. Who WOULDN'T fall in love with that voice. Haha. She was fantastic as the voice of Samantha. Truly. Great voice work on her part.

Jim Jefferies Intolerant is pretty dam funny.

This could have been much better but still ok
The Old Guard: super hero boomers. Not super flashy, but I liked it; course I'd watch anything with Charlize and Chiwetel in it. Charlize is no Furiosa in this, but close enough.
Anybody seen the new Netflix original acid documentary? Worth the time?
Watched it. It’s okay. Just really made me want to do more acid.

Fuck it List might be the worst movie of a generation. Definitely the worst movie that I’ve sat all the way through. Like a train wreck. Couldn’t look away.
Lenox Hill is a pretty good emotional health care doc, some real fascinating stuff in the neurosurgery realm.
Ufda .....
Cursed was hugely disappointing; most shows with stupid, immature young people are tough to swallow but this one's criminally bad. Silly characters, weak writing, and over-the-hill Frank Miller. Imma give a 4 on the vomit meter.
Warrior Nun is brilliant in comparison.
