I'm in a show hole, need suggestions

Season 3 of Atlanta starts tonight on FX at 10! Been a long 4 year wait since season 2. So much so that I’m going to stay up, even though I’m tired now.

I cant even remember much of the prior seasons except the haunted house episode and initial paper boi song.

Episode 1 was WAY off the beaten path, especially off a 4 year absence. I initially hated it, but by the end once I fully realized what they were doing, I loved it. Ballsy move.

Episode 2 was solid - back to the crew and their hijinks, mixed with social commentary.

I checked the TV guide channel to make sure I was actually watching Atlanta after like 5-10 minutes, lol. But at some point the light went on.

The “we don’t use wash cloths” part had me rolling. This show never mails it in - the effort and care into every episode is always evident.

I've been enjoying the apple tv+ miniseries Suspicion. Solid so far (6/8 eps watched)

I’m guessing you finished this by now. I enjoyed the buildup, but felt let down by the finale. Were you pleased?

The whole thing hit on so many hilarious points. The dog getting to eat the better food, using the kids to sell kombucha at the market. Most importantly, the white guy coming up and asking the kid if his dad's name was Hugs because he was wearing the sign that said Free Hugs. That was so brilliant and perfect I was dying.

The dogs stuff was hilariously on the nose.

And yeah “Free Hugs” was an amazing line.

Atlanta is another show that ruins other shows for me, because it’s so much better than everything else….. along with Breaking Bad, The Wire, and maybe a few others.

Really loving Severance so far. Also enjoying The Dropout through 2 eps.

The Dropout is very good. Not as much sensationalism or “artistic freedom” like Inventing Anna. I followed the buildup to the Holmes trial last year as well as the trial itself, but was still surprised at some if the chicanery involved. If it wasn’t largely true, some of these companies like Walgreens would be lawyering up.
 
Snowfall:
Do we change the phrase to “Jumping the Tiger”?

Who wrote that stupid crap into the script and how did nobody nix it?

I paused it 30seconds into the first episode. I told ladycusetroop I didn’t think I could handle the accent/voice. I should get a medal for this one.

So I went back and watched Inventing Anna, way more compelling than I thought it would be. I got over the accent pretty quick. Agree that the last 2 episodes or so could have been condensed or just cut.

The Dropout—I probably only started it because I like Amanda. I didn’t know she was a good actress, though. She’s really wonderful in this. I don’t know how accurate her portrayal of this real person has been, but she is compelling in the role and my eyes never leave her. She’s carrying a lot of responsibility for making this an interesting and watchable series. I’m current with the show (ep 6 or 7?) and I look forward to each new one.

You might also like Dopesick. Quite different, but it’s another dramatization of a true-ish ‘medical industry’ storyline.
 
Raised by Wolves is excellent SciFi. Into season two and strongly recommend. Also been watching Barry and surprisingly enjoyed it
