Yes, I hear that Slime is still popular.
In fact, I heard that a large orange glob of the stuff actually got voted in as POTUS...

I finished watching Dark and 3%.
Both very good shows.
Both very good shows.
I watched a few shows on Netflix.
The Sinner, it started out very good, but became a bit weaker and predictable near the end.
Everything Sucks, at the beginning I was wondering what it’s target audience was. It sorta had a Nickelodeon show feel to it, but eventually it became more of a blend between Freaks & Geeks and My So Called Life.
Seven Seconds, starts out strong, but ends as a weak courtroom drama. A lot of people are criticising its slow pace, but I actually like that.

I watched Altered Carbon. I enjoyed it. I liked that the world was very Dickian.

I've been watching Fresh Meat, s1 & 2 are on Netflix. It's about a group of kinda unlikeable British university students. I say kinda unlikable because they all have severe character flaws and of course they all have endearing traits too. The series does a good job at making you dislike someone for awhile then suddenly feel sorry for them.

Are they as unlikeable as THE YOUNG ONES?

Never heard of that one. I'm not British so only watch what's on Netflix or Amazon.

There are 12 episodes in all.
The same as FAWLTY TOWERS.
Rik Mayall was of the opinion that if 12 episodes was good enough for John Cleese, it was good enough for them.

The CW Renews Ten Series For 2018-19
It was expected, and now it’s official – The CW has renewed nearly its entire lineup of series as it expands to a sixth night of originals for the 2018-19 broadcast season.
Ten series have seen official renewals for next year – “Arrow,” “Black Lightning,” “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” “Dynasty,” “The Flash,” “Jane the Virgin,” “Riverdale,” “Supergirl” and “Supernatural”.
More than most networks, The CW relies heavily on streaming returns and lucrative Netflix SVOD deals with much of their fare selling and performing well overseas. It’s working though as not only is digital viewership particularly strong compared to other networks, but the current season of shows is up 3% in total viewers compared to last year.
Still to be determined are the fates of shows launching mid-season including the recently launched “iZombie,” “Life Sentence” and the soon to launch “The 100”. The military drama “Valor,” which debuted in the Fall, also hasn’t been given a renewal order as yet and is unlikely to according to recent reports. Those four shows will have their fates revealed next month at the upfronts in May.
Additionally “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” star Rachel Bloom confirms the show’s renewal for a fourth season is also going to be the show’s final season.

CW: iZombie had a bad S3 but S4 has been entertaining. Valor was okay for a few episodes but really dumb, they need a military consultant. S3 & S4 of The 100 were pretty bad, S5 is about to start.
CBS: Elementary started well but quickly devolved into formulaic garbage. Most others I have quit watching or only watched a few episodes.
NBC: Good Place, Superstore, AP Bio are all awesome. Timeless is dumb fun. The rest I don't care about.
ABC: Good Doctor is mildly entertaining, I'll probably watch another season. Agents of Shield has been on the decline since they killed Ward, one of the best bad guys on a tv series. The rest, don't care.
Fox: 911 is trashy fun, I fast forward through the relationship drama and only watch the exciting stuff; I can do another season. The Orville was fantastic, love it. LA to Vegas is hilarious. The Mick is up and down, some episodes are amazing, others are lazy. I wish Lethal Weapon would die. It's badly written, Riggs is super annoying, and my wife loves it so I have to watch it with her. Ghosted is mildly amusing. Lucifer plummeted, went from great to mostly terrible, get rid of CSI girl already. Exorcist had a good S1, terrible S2, kill it. Last Man on Earth is fantastic, one of the best shows on television though it didn't start that way.
