Finally. Mallorca Files season 3. The long wait is over

Wife and I finally started watching Squid Game. We get Netflix for only a few months at a time. I'm enjoying it, but she's not a fan of the graphic deaths. She says she'll stick it out for now.

I enjoy games and puzzles. Just finished episode 5, so just over half-way.

Episode 6 is like “holy shit” if remembering correctly. It’s been 3 years since the release. Enjoyed the series and possibly looking forward to a re-watch in anticipation of ‘Squid Games’ season 2 this year.

Of which I’ll remind y’all due to bringing up Netflix. ‘Arcane’ on Netflix is the steaming platform’s best original series IMHO. Season 2 coming out in 2 months. French animation, but not a big deal because of how elite the storytelling and characters are. Among other amazing things. 10/10. It’s going to be a huge deal if season 2 is just as fantastic as season 1 (that’s always a question with every TV series).

Yeah, we watched episodes 6 & 7 last night. 6 changed the tenor of the series for sure. They kept me up last night thinking about them.

ty for Arcane recommendation, seems like the kind of series I'd enjoy

This isn't exactly TV but this guy used to post here. I've forgotten his handle.

That's interesting. Wonder who it is.

I wish I could remember his handle here. I'm pretty sure that he was posting post-World Crossing but not in the last 10 years.

I found him in the archives. Keatin22 was his handle.

There's a WSOP thread that he started. I've tried to copy and paste the link but it's not working.

The first episode of ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ (the new prequel) is decent. Showtime milking this Dexter product to the extreme and it appears that I’m here for it. Apparently they’re releasing another sequel season next summer that basically acts as season 10. I find that strange considering they botched the ending of ‘Dexter: New Blood’ (or can be called season 9). A sneakily solid TV season that did a fine job until the very end. I can’t believe that came out in 2021 and it’s been 3 years already! Hopefully they correct their mistake… again… by thinking of the right conclusion.

With season 2 of ‘Severance’ almost here, thinking about digging into more Apple TV+ content. Such as ‘Silo’ with Rebecca Ferguson. Let me know if there’s anything else that’s no -brainer great.

’Squid Game’ season 2 is on the way soon too!

Can we watch the prequel without having watched the first series?

I would recommend watching the original series that came out in 2006 first and see if you like it. It’s far superior. Seasons 1, 2, and 4 of ‘Dexter’ are incredible and top tier TV seasons IMO. Seasons 3, 5-7, and 9 (New Blood) decent. Just like ‘Game of Thrones’, a botched season 8 that put a bad taste in everyone’s mouths,

That’s like if anyone asked me if they should watch the original or prequel for Star Wars or Lord of the Rings on first viewing. Nope… the original is actually by far the best. No brainer answer.
