Catching up a bit:

The Diplomat is my favorite show for quite a while.  For West Wing fans, getting Allison Janey and Brad Whitford back together is just spectacular chemistry and steals the show

Finally watched Ozark, and it was a great show, with a pretty disappointing ending.  Not Soprano's bad, but stains an otherwise top notch show.

The P Diddy Biopic on Netflix was worth a watch for no other reason than the connects to 2Pacs and Biggies murders.

Diplomat is awesome and you are right on Ozark…so good but lost its marbles at end. 
 

A couple episodes in - landman is outstanding.

Ozark to me was like Lost in that the premise was great but the end game didn't match the build up.

Pluribus is an awesome show.  I love how it has gone thus far and Gilligan seems to have the story completed before it starts to avoid a bad ending in previous shows.

I would be watching it, but I don't have that service right now.  I LOVE all  things Gilligan.  He is incredible at what he does.

Agreed.  I didn’t realize it was Gilligan and the same actress that was in Better Call Saul.  I just read the synopsis and I will definitely be watching this show now.

I've loved it so far. People have knocked it for feeling slow but I think that's more the TikTok, no attention span generation.

Was posted about in another thread, but the new Ken Burns American Revolution series was vintage Burns work.  Well work the time to put into it and watch it.

I've been laid up for a bit and meant to start this.  I will do so soon.

Pluribus is just a different type of show.  I am not certain how to explain it but it is worth the watch.
