I watched Bosch and Bosch: Legacy on Freevee. I've got a few days left
till it goes away. Anything I should really catch?

I borrowed the ROKU stick from the library with Apple TV + but will have
to return it in a couple of weeks. Anything I should really try to
watch? I was thinking of Slow Horses. Not sure I could get into
Severance. Or maybe I watched it and forgot due to the brain operation.

Re: Apple, I've enjoyed "Silo" (esp. the first season), and "Foundation" (still haven't gotten to season #3 yet), though you won't be able to
finish either of those series as they're not done yet. Also, "Hijack"
was diverting. And I've enjoyed "The Buccaneers" which looks beautiful
in 4k. :)

I *really* enjoy Slow Horses and am eagerly awaiting Season 5 next
month. Gary Oldman is amazing and there's a strong supporting cast too.

I struggled mightily and managed to get through the first season of
Severance. It finally seemed to move a bit in the final episode of
Season 1 but when I watched the first episode of Season 2, it was back
to the same glacial pacing as Season 1. I know that some shows, like The
Wire, were written as "slow burns", stories that moved slowly but built
to a compelling culmination, and I think Severance must be intended this
way. But for my money, it's just a slow bore. It just pays off way too
slowly for my taste and I simply don't have the patience so I dropped it
after the first episode of Season 2.

Of course you may feel completely differently about both shows. Those
are just my two cents worth.
