Recently, other than catching the new Project Runway every week, I've watched:
Midnight mass - finally watched it after a few people recommended it. it's well acted and pretty entertaining but it really drags on, there's about 3 episodes worth of superfluous material and dialogue in there that could have been trimmed down. but it was great to see zach gilford again, he's so underrated.
Rewatched about half the first season of Mr. Robot with my mom who's never seen it. Such a great first season, I stalled watching the second season and quit and when watching with my mom I realised it went on for 4 seasons altogether. are the later seasons worth watching?

I'm ALL IN on Archive 81 on Netflix. Good lord that show is so engaging. I'm trying to slow down my watching because I don't want it to end. Highly recommend.
I loved Midnight Mass but I absolutely know what you mean about it dragging on. There's a quiet moodiness to it I enjoy but it can be slow in places.

The most recent thing I watched was 'Four Lives' on the BBC. A drama about serial killer Stephen Port. I thought it was pretty good.

I did not know they made a station eleven show! I read that book many years ago and found it lovely. I'll have to check the show out.

I watched Cobra Kai in a day. I like it. I watched it in a day too. I felt so bad for Miguel when he thought Johnny meant what he was saying for him, but then he said Robby. But I think he really did mean it for Miguel, but he was so drunk he said the wrong name.

Midnight Mass was interesting, different. I thought it was well acted and I am a sucker for anything that is set in a fishing town.
I fell off the wagon with Dexter New Blood, I didn't like where it was going and I had just finished Yellowjackets right before watching it which was beyond amazing. I feel this obligation to finish it but the drive to watch just isn't there.
Ozark was amazing, the writing got a little forced for some story lines but the acting is just top notch. Julia Garner was born to play Ruth Langmore.

They just aired the Hot in Cleveland episode "Love is all around" in which the cast of the Mary Tyler Moore show reunited, for the last time. It was so sad to see that a) all the women are gone now but perhaps even worse b) how poorly Mary Tyler Moore was doing, 4 years before her passing. The crazy thing was, that the reunion was the idea of Betty White (Elka on HiC and Sue Ann Nivens on MTM) after the grim diagnosis of Valerie Harper with an inoperable brain tumor, because it would be MTM who would pass away first of the group.
Mary Tyler Moore (80, December 29, 1936 - January 25, 2017) Georgia Engel (70, July 28, 1948 - April 12, 2019) Valerie Harper (80, August 22, 1939 - August 30, 2019) Cloris Leachman (94, April 30, 1926 - January 27, 2021) Betty White (99, January 17, 1922 - December 31, 2021)
^Reading that list made me realize that Betty White was twice the oldest of a popular cast (of women at least) to pass away last.
Golden Girls cast: Estelle Getty (84, July 25, 1923 - July 22, 2008) Bea Arthur (86, May 13, 1922 - April 25, 2009) Rue McClanahan (76, February 21, 1934 - June 3, 2010) Betty White (99, January 17, 1922 - December 31, 2021)
People Magazine described the reunion in an article on the passing of Valerie Harper:
