Series 4 is in ITV Hub in the UK at the moment and the final episode aired last night. I haven't actually watched that yet so no spoilers please!!!

For me personally, it teeters on the verge of making me overthink it. The Hosts are right on the verge of making me overthink it. I keep thinking, "Why aren't these in general usage?" Why isn't every menial, and most non-menial, jobs done by Host-technology androids? But I can stand it because for me the show is done so well. If that sort of thing is what s2 and s3 are about, don't spoil it for me.

Good questions, but I assume the androids are expensive. It's the same reason why so many leftists aren't driving electric cars yet.

I love Unforgotten. We haven't gotten season 4 here in the US on any of my streaming services yet, so no spoilers if you've seen it.. I just read today that there will be a season 5.
I'm watching Irregulars now which is a combination of all my guilty TV watching pleasures:crime drama, young adult super natural fiction, and 19th century costume drama.

Unforgotten isn't on Netflix, so we tried out the literally closest thing which is Unorthodox, a show based on the autobiographical story of a married woman's escape from New York to Berlin. A very nice surprise with a good cast, strong writing and camera, especially the cities are presented well.

Unorthodox was excellent. It's a movie that has stuck with me despite my excessive amount of binge watching this past year.

I've moved onto this because I've been doing that with the Marvel TV universe series - I enjoyed all the first series and some of the second series but have dumped Luke Cage and Iron Fist seasons 2 as I just thought the stories were shit and now I'm forcing myself to finish Daredevil S3, although since I have started watching the Umbrella Academy I probably have subconsciously dumped that as well.

The thing about season 3 is that they started with a solid premise for star trek hijinx, and every note they've hit along the way has been pretty good. But this is a great example of a show that needed to be a full season of television and not a 12 episode prestige streaming TV show. The show has ZERO time to breath. They launch from plot point to plot point as if the characters and the audience has had many episodes to get used to the status quo and come to love the characters. Guy we just introduced last episode? You love him now and will be deeply emotionally invested in him. Trauma happened last episode? You will deeply understanding of the sorrowful emotional impact of that on the characters. And will be empathetic about them finally coming to terms with it, even though that event is 20 minutes later in TV time and *1-2 days* later in actual plot time. It just doesn't work very well.
So I admire the creative team behind this thing but they need to look at what they have in terms of minutes and just be comfortable doing less. It would make the character beats work better; a lot of them fall flat and it has nothing to do with the actors, nor really with the writing, they just aren't earned time and audience-wise.
