I do recommend it. I edited my post saying so. I forgot to push send as I got distracted.

Ok fair enough. I’m still bitter because I wasted hours watching a god awful sci fi series which someone who should know better had “recommended“ on this thread by mentioning its name and then hiding behind spoiler tags how fucking terrible they thought it was.

Does it get better than the first episode before it reaches it's disappointing conclusion?

Been watching odds and sods late night with teen...
Blood Red Sky: I really liked it, though a brief search suggests I might be alone. Teen bailed after an hour.
Jaws: Teen stuck with it though said "it could have been half an hour shorter with less hanging around on the boat". Happy to report she jumped & shrieked in all the right places.
(Also watched Black Widow which she'd seen but I hadn't - very good though Winstone's accent, whatever the fuck it's supposed to be, is atrocious.)

I’m two-thirds through Q-Force. An adult animated series with a premise and tone very similar to Archer, the main difference being our secret agent protagonists are LGBTQ, which had for years caused them to be ostracised by their own US agency employers, until they take matters into their own hands to be recognised as valid assets to the US government as their straight counterparts.
Before I started watching it I had seen pretty negative critics reviews so I was fearing a shitshow, but it’s actually quite watchable and funny. Not as great as Archer, but not bad either. I see now there’s a massive gap developing between critics’ and audiences’ ratings, the latter giving it much more positive scores overall.
If you like Archer, I say give it a go.

I never quite saw the attraction of Archer, so I don't think this is something really worth delving into. Good to know.

It''s a fun, if slightly disturbing some of the time. Its start and where they end up are pretty diverse.

So it does get better than episode one?

Always bail after the first episode. Never give a chance for a story to breathe, develop and unfold. Then you'll never be disappointed.

Well there is that, but also I'm only asking for an opinion. 90% of the time these things these things don't get better, but sometimes they surprise you.

Mmm. Sometimes feel that you're stuck in the 80s/90s and new stuff just doesn't do it for you.
Is that harsh?

It's not harsh, but I don't think it's true. Off the top of my head the only 80s stuff I like is for nostalgia reasons, and reviewing can be painful.
Maybe you don't mean actual 80s and 90s shows, and are suggesting I am just too old for modern TV?
Pretty sure I have gushed about quite a few modern films and TV shows, but those post just sink without a trace.

Fair enough. Not wishing to have a go.
Maybe it's a high standards thing or attention span? Am like that with some sports...

Unless I absolutely hate something, I tend to give it about three episodes. Several of my favourite series started unpromisingly. They have to introduce the characters and premise, but the plot doesn't get going till after that. There also are some series which only find their footing after a season or two. Halt and Catch Fire didn't really hit its groove till season 3, but I'm glad stuck with it.

Liking the idea that something called Halt and Catch Fire ... didn't catch fire until it's third season.

I think this cherry thing was only four episodes, so I figured I was already 25% of the way through.

Halt and Catch Fire - new AMC series
Another AMC period drama, first 10-episode season debuting June 1 (replacing Mad Men), set in a computer company in Texas in the early 80s. So, yeah, deffo going to call it Nerd Men. Story seems to be focused on a sales guy who thinks of reverse engineering an IBM PC with the help of a troubled...

It's eight episodes. I'll watch it eventually because I liked the creator's previous show Channel Zero.

Well, just finished Q-Force. I reiterate it’s not as good as Archer, but it’s certainly not bad either IMO. Fast paced and entertaining so not a drag, and as an added bonus it’s a complete story that concludes with the final episode. And FWIW in the latter episodes it doesn’t rely nearly as much on the LGBQT aspect, but more as a comedy action spy story- with some fabulousness thrown in for good measure

If you missed it when it was originally on TV, BBC drama Mrs Wilson is now on Netflix - dramatisation of a true story which I found quite interesting to watch. Fun fact, Ruth Wilson is playing the role of her actual grandmother, the Mrs Wilson in the title of the drama. It is a miniseries of only 3 episodes, so not a massive investment of time, I watched it in one sitting.
