Mayor of Kingstown- Very bleak but gripping tale about the McLusky family who act as 'brokers' between citizens of Kingstown and the prison industry that dominates Kingstown. Lots of awful people doing awful things to other people, bent police, bent prison officers, all seemingly trapped in the area and their cycles of behaviour and tbh the lead character isn't that likeable . However it has a bit of pace, the stories are interesting and after four episodes I think I'll stay with it.
I'm watching it. Not bad.
Not sure I'd say it was underrated:
'Frasier was critically acclaimed, with the series and the cast winning thirty-seven Primetime Emmy Awards, a record at the time for a scripted series.[3] It also won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series for five consecutive years.[4]'
It does run out of ideas and really should've left the Niles/Daphne thing unrequited.
And yes, the brothers stuff is terrible.

Just found this
Does it get more action-y or is it mostly stock markets or corporate espionage or whateverthefuck they're currently boring on about?

I recommend a film called Hellbender (not to be confused with Hellbenders) on Shudder. A small indie horror film that doesn't take itself too seriously, made by the Adams family, a couple and their two daughters who wrote it, directed it, wrote the music for it and starred in it. It's on Shudder.

That’s what I was trying to hint at when I said the first episode was a bore. From episode 2 onearit has been almost all action, thrills, and brilliant twists.
Cheers, ended up giving up before then anyway because the lack of subtitles makes it too much effort for me

an ting!
Loved it too, we also watched the original.
Absolutely love the young Estella played by Chloe Lea.

Party Down. A sitcom about a group of would-be actors working as caterers in LA, whilst hoping to get their big acting break.
Pretty good, funny and well written comedy, with a solid cast. First two seasons came out in 2009-10, and there’s a brand new S3 that has just been made. Very well received by critics and audiences alike, but somehow I hadn’t even heard of it before. On Lionsgate+, which is an Amazon Prime add-on subscription.

Mrs Davis , its on Peacock. It's written by Damon Lindelof who co-wrote Lost and later Watchman and on the basis of the first episode I watched its one the most brilliantly bizarre plots I've come across.
Briefly, an advanced AI thing known as Mrs. Davis has eradicated war and famine and is seen as a force for good. World leaders seek its advice and prime ministers and even the pope seek out its advice and it has god like status with millions of followers. Apart from one person, a nun called Simone who holds Mrs Davis responsible for the death of her father. Mrs Davis however wants to recruit Simone to carry out a task. If she completes the task Mrs Davies promises to shut itself down for good. The mission is to find and destroy The Holy Grail.
Now I admit I had had a few beers and was halfway through a bottle of red when I decided to watch the premiere but it was cracking fun. I'll have to rewatch it to make sure it was as good as I thought.
