Few shows I've seen fairly recently, or heard of but haven't watched. Curious if anyone has any others, or thoughts on some?
The Terror
Overall I like it and I'm hooked. Haven't read the source material.
It's somewhat slow paced so far. I'd say the acting is top notch. There are a few actors in there that are fantastic in various roles; the three above can pull together a respectable amount of experience. Ciaran Hinds puts on a different face for this role. He's not 'HBO Rome Caesar-on-a-ship'. The show seems to have a decent cinematic atmosphere. Mostly due to the setting which I am biased for, to be fair. I'm not really pulled in by the horror aspects of it but then again the horror genre doesn't do much for me. So, happily I can say that they rely very little on that aspect.

The Tick 2017
More aptly titled, "Arthur" IMHO. He's the true protagonist. The show is surprisingly well done. It tackles mental health issues with elan and humour. The humour itself is just cheesy enough but doesn't go over the edge too often.

Jessica Jones S2
I'm a lot more mixed on this season than I was on the first. The first was quite good IMHO. Had a few issues but Kilgrave was pretty much a top shelf villain. This whole season was a drag. There were parts I did enjoy though. The character development of those around Jessica was excellent. I also quite like Callum Keith Rennie.
***
Reboot: The Guardian Code
I grew up with the original. Loved it. Nostalgically still do...
I can't possibly imagine the sequel being any good. If it surprisingly is and you watch it, lemme know.

Also got my eye on Lost in Space. After the trailer I'm hesitant but hopeful.
