Spaceman Spiff to the rescue
These are tv shows we have seen recently.
📺 FROM (2022) – ★★★★☆
Horribly cast and terribly acted fun series. If you liked LOST you are likely to enjoy this too. But yeah the acting is just all around terrible, but we are still invested enough to catch up season 2 and see if we want to see 3 and 4.
📺 For All Mankind (2019) – ★★☆☆☆
Season 5 was kinda awful. I really hope they up the budget of this show to give it a proper farewell.
📺 BEEF (2023) – ★★★★☆
Season 2 began so well but seems to lose its way towards final stride only end so well. That ending. Also less beef more white lotus feels, but Carey Mulligan was so good. But yes the ending nailed it.
📺 Utopia (2014) – ★★★★★
Utopia is the best comedy show in the last decade that has not made it out of Australia. Thanks to cousin of my cousin who’s based there we binged watched this over last few months and my goodness this nation building comedy is absolutely bang on the money on how government projects work. Absolutely brilliant show! Will share some YouTube clips of the show.
📺 Bait (2026) – ★★★★★
I don’t know if there will be a second season but man this 6 episode first season was totally award worth. Riz Ahmed is fucking good. And that soundtrack, ooof!
📺 Aspirants (2021) – ★★★★☆
A solid season but why not just end this series here? It looked like it was headed to an organic conclusion of entire series.
📺 Drops of God (2023) – ★★★☆☆
The first season was so much fun but the second season felt pretentious. All this drama over wine seems slightly too much in second season. The end definitely looked like another season maybe upon us?
📺 Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web (2026) – ★☆☆☆☆
Couldn’t get past episode 3. Whatever the rubbish is this.
📺 Stranger Things (2016) – ★★★★★
Absolutely landed the ending IMO even though a few episodes were meandering. This show has been such an integral part of our TV watching last decade – R was 5 when it first aired, to her becoming a fan when she stated watching it two years ago, to now all of us sitting and watching the finale as R as in high school feels like a journey. There won’t be a show like this again for a while for sure.
