What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week?

I know the other was 5 days old, but I need to orientate it back to Thursdays after testing the sticky feature.

This season (series) of Taskmaster is an absolute delight. Watching Jason Mantzoukas’ direct his chaotic energy at completing silly tasks brings me joy to no end.
- Love me some taskmaster!
Dept. Q on Netflix is pretty good - it's one of those 'modern Sherlock & Holmes get their own department in a disused basement to investigate cold cases' type shows.
- We finished this last week and enjoyed it as well. Akram was my favourite character.
- Can't wait for S02, loved this one.
I've been enjoying the Apple TV adaptation of the Murderbot book series.

Last few episodes have finally gotten to the meat of the plot in the first book, and they've diverged from what happened in the book. In a good way.

There's an entire new character, which is leading to suspense, because I don't know where the story is going concerning her.
- Oh Murderbot is awesome, love his sarcastic, hating everyone persona. So funny, and the captain is a hot mess with heart, one of my favs.
- Same here, although I hate how much I relate to him.
I am watching Almost Human (2013-2014), can't believe I missed this one. I love Karl Urban and he doesn't let me down in this series. JJ Abrams is the producer, each episode has the feel of a movie plot, well done. I can't believe there is only one season of this given all the crap shows they keep renewing.
- I didn't realize that was an original show. I figured it was a U.S. remake of the British show, Humans.
Welcome to Wrexham, I don't usually watch footie shows but I'm very invested in this one.
A bit a late to it, but started Apple TV's Tehran this week. Nice to have a slightly different setting than the usual spy thrillers.
Catching up on some Great Pottery Throwdown recently. That and some Murderbot.
I just rewatched Moon Knight. Didn't care for it at all the first time. Really liked it now. Idk what my problem is, I think I just don't connect to media when it's not what I'm expecting.
- It was good, but there were too many episodes. Story needed tightening up.
  
  6 is too many? What would you cut?
Currently doing season 3 of Handmaid's tale, and season 2 of white lotus. Just wrapped up last of us.
