What TV shows are people watching?

Been wanting to see Detectorists.

I know that there's lots of very good shows about royals of yore these days (I do want to watch Borgias and also Reign), but I am still bitter over the fact that none of them are about Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Or Ludwig. Why??

It sure was difficult not to, as we all know how romantic and sexy the taquito section of the gas station is.

I have an unopened packet of tissues you can cry into ...

I absolutely need those tissues. I need all of the Sisi merchandise-- more than words can express.

Truly the face of a star.

I also desperately need a show about Lord Byron, (made in the style of What We Do in the Shadows) even though I know Netflix or whoever would find some way to ruin it and break my heart.

Also we need a show about Otto von Bismark and the rise of the German Empire. Prussia was the ****.

Totally. 15 seasons and a movie.

Altered Carbon.
I'm only 4 episodes in, but so far it's amazing. Good writing, great characters, a very dark world. Really well done action scenes, full frontal nudity.
What more can a boy want, eh ?

Seriously though, this is great tv.
Without spoiling anything, we follow Takeshi Kovacs (most cyberpunk name ever), a recently released and "resleeved" terrorist/freedomfighter that spent the last 250 years locked away, without a body, sentenced to rot in "jail" forever.
You see, this is a world where people don't die - they simply replace their bodies, or sleeves as they're called, and they keep on going.
Takeshi is offered a chance at freedom, if he finds a killer. Soon things turn out to be more complicated than he anticipated. I know this cryptic bs is.. well, bs, but I really don't want to spoil anything.
Give it a try. If you're into dark, intelligent sf and don't mind extreme violence, you'll love it.

Young Sheldon, I've seen them all, but I find myself watching them again...
I think I've got a crush on Meemaw/Annie Potts, tbh.
