Really enjoyed this show. I even think they did as good as possible with the ending personally.

Just finished season 1 of The Man in the High Castle. That was actually pretty good, looking forward to the next season.
EDIT: yes, endings are different

The Man in the High Castle was really good, quite possibly the favourite of the shows I've watched this year. Each series simply got better and better, and the finale was pretty solid. I just finished the first series of Mrs. Maisel so now I'm going back to complete the third series of Mayans, which I'd stopped at episode four some months ago, and I don't recall why.

I got back to Mr Robot last night and watched the first three episodes of Season 4. I had only seen the first episode previously. It looks like Elliot is even more screwed up than I thought.

I watched Shadow and Bone. Another fantasy series which is entertaining but not a masterpiece in any way.
If you want some fun, certainly worth a watch.
The ending of season 1 is a bit shitty though. But most of the season is alright.

I watched that as well a while ago and it was fun enough to keep on watching it, but it is indeed far from a masterpiece.
I'm not sure though their is enough interesting material left for another season to make it worth watching it.

Yeah, Elliott is super messed up, you only find out just how much in the very last episodes of Mr. Robot. I usually don't care for mental devices being the centerpiece of telly/film plots, yet this one is done so well and cleverly that I quite enjoyed re-watching the series. I'd urge any one that enjoys the genre to take a peek.

I'm one episode away from completing season 4 of Better Call Saul. There's still season 5 and I saw there was a 6th planned for 2022.
I found it OK at the beginning but it's growing on me. I like it even more for showing slices of other lives like Ehrmantraut's and Varga's, for the sake of variety.

Absolutely, that's one of the strengths of the stellar showed called Better Call Saul. It starts off being rather focused on Jimmy, then it really broadens out and ropes you in all the way with the ensemble getting their own stories.

5 & 6 were good. I'm already getting tired of Vera though.

Since it came up a few messages back in this thread, I found myself re-watching Trapped the past few nights. Ahhh, surrounded by wintery-goodness without having to actually feel it, now that's suspending disbelief! -)

Tin Star is getting way too morbid for me to enjoy, I love Roth to death yet the character he portrays seems to have no redeemable qualities whatsoever. I might take in another episode then call it quits for shows that are more entertaining to watch.

I finished Mr Robot last night.
Season 4 was ok, but I found some of the episodes underwhelming, and the finale didn't blow me away. I definitely liked Season 3 more.
Overall, it was good. I wouldn't put it in my very top tier, but I would definitely recommend it to others.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the mental issues being the end-all of Mr. Robot, and the fourth series is a tad lackluster. The entire run of the show, however, is really good and something I know I'll be re-watching again the future. I might skip a few episodes in the final series, though. =p

I loved season 4, as I'm sure I said in the past. Very heavy and impactful for the main character especially.
@JDR13: about the ending, didn't blow you away as in you predicted it? Or the idea simply didn't jell with you? Or you didn't like the way they handled it? Personally, I loved the ending, and caught me completely by surprise.
I'm also surprised you didn't like the episode where they wander through the woods. I love those kinds of character building episodes, where we see the Elliot and Tyrell in an unusual setting.

It wasn't nearly as bad as episode 10 though. The one that was all about Darlene and Dominique going to the airport. That one was fucking terrible.

That episode should've been heavily edited and all of those scenes probably removed or replaced with something better.
It's very jarring, that episode, as I think it's the only one I really have a serious issue with. It's very jarring to have that in a sea of mostly excellent episodes.
