It’s a sci-fi drama on Netflix out of Germany. I’m only a few episodes in and it’s unsettling and very atmospheric. Reviews say it’s great so I’m going to stick with it. Only 3 seasons of 8-ish episodes.

Perfect balance between funny, weird and scary and Rhys is Rhys.

uneven. Both in terms of the cadence with which they inserted it and the style.

The scene where Rhys was talking to the other guy on the boat in the second to last episode was objectively hilarious, but the style of that humor seemed out of left field.

Really fun mystery show, David Mitchell stars as a puzzle maker turned detective. I don't want to post any spoilers, including the trailer (which has some, as I just found out), but I think anybody here will like it.

We were a bit cooler on How to Get to Heaven from Belfast -- had some good characters and individual scenes, but it's a little too "zany", going for a Coens vibe but not quite hitting.

Thanks to Crehart for both recs!

Agree on "Belfast." I enjoyed the characters overall and

found it entertaining. I'd give it a solid B.
