Good Omens will be a nice quick hitter at the end of the month
Thinking about it, there are a few good shows coming out.

Good Omens will be great. I am very excited for that
His Dark Materials should be worth checking out
I am enjoying Chernobyl right now
Barry, Veep, Deadwood as I mentioned before

there is a lot of really good content out there right now.

it having Lin Manuel Miranda makes it worth at least checking out

plus, it should be better than the Golden Compass movie...hopefully lighter on the Catholicism...

I haven't read the books but apparently they go pretty hard at Catholicism.

I read the first and that kind of turned me off to it...but I was young and stupid...I think I would be better about it now.

A lot of folks on the Twitter are saying Fleabag is really good. Might add that to my list

For anyone looking for another show that has a lot of Game of Thrones like intrigue, I highly recommend The Expanse.

It is arguably the best Sci-Fi show ever made. Originally made by SyFy, it has moved to Amazon for Season 4. Based on a series of books, current on book 8 of 9.

I will warn folks that the show doesn't do a ton of hand holding especially for non-book readers. It's a show you really need to pay attention to or you can quickly get lost.

But the show is extremely well done and portrays living in space unlike how any other tv show has done. Star Wars/Star Trek it ain't.

Agreed. Love The Expanse. I binged the first 3 seasons last year and plan to do a re-watch soon before Season 4 begins.

I'm going to finish Chernobyl and some other show and then drop it in June.

Westworld was pretty good for about a season and a half.

I sure hope @chf doesn't see this........you will be in for a tongue lashing and have to explain yourself.

I'm only like six episodes in and like GOT, it does the books justice.

The books are unreal too. Some of the best I've read in a while.

I listened to an Imaginary Worlds podcast episode that talked about The Expanse...it sounded interesting.

Also, I realized Hulu made a Catch-22 show that I need to watch. One of my favorite books ever.

Not quite yet man. I'm about a quarter of the way through Persepolis Rising currently.

Ahh ok Pretty crazy how they have been able to continually raise the stakes without it seeming far fetched.

It's insane man. Really impressive the detail they've gone into in regards to the effects of living in space etc. Just a brilliant attention to detail.

Honestly, Good Omens is one of the most disappointing things I've watched in awhile. Its not terrible but its also not very good.
