@LifeTimeCooking Been watching "Foundation" and I really like it. "Wolfwalkers" was a fantastic animated film. And "Come From Away" made me cry - really good musical that was well made.
Started "Servant" and was enjoying it but stopped but plan restarting. "Severance" was interesting but I kind of lost interest.
I've been wanting to watch "Hijack" and "Silo" - I've heard good things. And I've been wanting to watch "Five days at Memorial" because I've been getting into Limited Series.

@LifeTimeCooking I also really liked "The Afterparty" but it might not be to everyone's taste. I really like the Rashomon-style mysteries in different genres. The genres themselves play with your perception of the events. Shame it was cancelled.
I didn't realize how much I had watched there. I like Apple TV generally (and it surprises me that I do) - I feel like they have few things but most of them are really good quality. They seem to be picking their shows and films carefully.

@LifeTimeCooking Yeah, I felt like "Severance" got lost it is own concept. I might just read the plot on Wikipedia to put it behind me.
Rewatching the first season of "Foundation" before watching the second. Liking it more the second go around. Enjoying how carefully plotted it is and how the writers are planting seeds for later seasons. Apparently the second season is better than the first. Warning that they are apparently different from the books but the family signed off on the changes.

@seanbala Oooo lots to check out. I started Severance I think, and abandoned it.

@LifeTimeCooking Thank you for letting me know. We visited New Orleans last December and we were struck by how there are many parts of the city that still have not recovered. Many locals we spoke to are still traumatized by the experience and the city has not recovered. One of my FAVORITE podcasts episodes from last year was this one from NPR's "Throughline." It looks at the philosophical underpinnings of modern society and uses the responses to Katrina as a case-study:

@seanbala I am watching Five days at Memorial. So sad that there was such inaction after Katrina. Not easy viewing, but it is a must-watch.
