Tehran (Apple - 2 seasons) Fast-paced spy thriller set in Iran. Female lead is excellent (and less crazy than Carrie from Homeland), as is supporting cast. Second season is as strong as the first.

The Last Kingdom, 5 seasons, great characters, fast paced. Loved it, there will be a 2 hour movie to cap off the series sometime this year.

We just finished 100 Foot Wave on HBO—a surfing documentary about Garrett McNamara and his influence in making the amazing waves in Nazare, Portugal a destination for tow-in surfing. I think it was recommended on another thread. The filming is gorgeous. There are 6 one hour episodes; well worth watching.

Severance on Apple+. Keep watching; it takes time to establish its world, intentionally so, then as it moves toward the end you'll find you're engaged with the characters more than you even realized and you're caught up in their fates. At least we certainly were. It's not for everyone as it's stylized, chilly (at first) and dystopian but if you get into it, it's compelling.

Second season was awful.

The Baby - HBOMax. Dark allegorical comedy about how kids suck the life out of you
Keep Sweet, Pray & Obey - Netflix. FLDS documentary with lots of interviews and archival footage of the Warren Jeffs saga
I Love That For You - Showtime (& I think Hulu?). Socially awkward girl with leukemia becomes obsessed with the home shopping channel, grows up to get a job there but has to pretend she has cancer again to do it. Molly Shannon & Vanessa Bayer
Upload - Hulu. 2 seasons, about a near-future product that uploads the human consciousness and lets you live forever in a virtual world, for a price. Funny and a bit dramatic
Made for Love - HBOMax. 2 seasons (but got canceled even though it's awesome), about a woman who marries a very controlling billionaire tech tycoon (think Musk/Zuckerberg/Brin rolled into an archetype) and has to live on his "campus" and be separated from all reality. He's got darker plans, she tries to escape. But it's a comedy.

What are you currently watching, and if you can a brief synopsis would be great. I'm spending too much time scrolling through my streaming services and need some recommendations. I like a wide variety of stuff - action, drama, suspense, romantic comedies, documentaries, anything really.

I'm currently watching P-Valley on Starz but they only release one episode a week and I need something I can binge.
