How good is Landman?  Obviously BBT is tremendous.

Its a Taylor Sheridan show, so its got the same feel as Yellowstone.  Compelling, funny at times, well researched deep cuts into the reality of the topic (oil and gas wildcatting in this case, as opposed to ranching), and a bit overwrought/corny at times.  But its tremendously entertaining and BBT is great.  The rest of the cast is very solid as well.

I actually like it more than Yellowstone, but not as much as Lioness.

Agree with everyone here on Pluribus. Glad I started it. Will probably dive into Slow Horses next. Just finished Shrinking. Apple quietly has a lot of really good options.

Watched the first two new Stranger Things episodes. Pretty much as expected: Easy-to-watch escapist theater.

Watched the first two episodes of Netflix's Death By Lightning. Interesting story, and surprised how much we laughed. Great cast: Michael Shannon, Matthew Macfadyen, Nick Offerman, Bradley Whitford, Betty Gilpin, Paula Malcomson, Shea Whigham. Every minute Macfadyen is on the screen is fantastic.

I will eventually watch it, but I couldn't have been less moved by the return of Stranger Things. Churning out 3 seasons in 3 years...and then taking 6 years to release the final 2 just takes all momentum away.  That is also not even speaking to the absurdity of the aging out of the main cast into the mid 20s while their characters are still young.  Actors in their 20s have been playing teens for decades but it's different when they were introduced to the world as young kids within the show and are not just playing teens in their 20s, but teens that can't even drive yet.

Totally agree about Death by Lightning. Entertaining and well done look at a fairly under the radar period in US history. Offerman was great at Chester Arthur and a pretty fantastic representation of what an curiosity his brief political rise was

yeah I've waited 14 years since the last season, I'm just going to wait until the whole last season is out to finish it.

Meanwhile ... Clare Danes is at her manic best and Matthew Rhys is as good as always in The Beast In Me on Netflix. I wouldn't call it a "great" show, but it's very watchable.   

I don't really like how Clare (sic) has aged

How 'bout Claire?

As always, thanks for the correction. You forgot to put a period at the end of your sentence.
