Tulsa King is really quite good. I think the currently running Star Trek Discovery show is pretty good too. Not a must watch, but solid.
What are you binge watching?

Say Nothing. On FX (Hulu). This is a true story (although there’s a disclaimer in each episode) of certain key characters during The Troubles in Belfast and elsewhere in N. Ireland starting in the late 60s. The focal character is Dolours Price, played by Lola Petticrew in the past and Maxine Peake at the time of interviews Dolours gave leading to the book and this series. Dolours and her sister Marian (Hazel Doupe), also a key character, were really the first active field “soldiers” for the Provisional IRA. The other main players are IRA leaders Brendan “Dark” Hughes and Gerry Adams (who disputes ever having that role). Just a really, really well made and directed show. Gripping.

Been enjoying Day of the Jackal. I was concerned about Redmayne being the lead as TBOMK he's never played a true evil baddie, but he's been great. Lashana Lynch as the agent responsible for catching him is also fantastic. Nice to also see Ursula Corbero as the Jackal' wife, who was one of the main stars of Money Heist, and now speaks decent English.

Yeah watched it in a few days. Had actually read the book about 5 or so years ago but forgot a lot of what happened. I feel like Gerry Adams pretending he never was in the IRA is just a huge joke at this point and maybe what the film was trying to say by saying it every episode. There is a youtube documentary on Dolours Price i'd recommend called " I Dolours" that gives a bit more background on the lead up to her joining in the IRA that I appreciated. The series was very good though.
