After Silo I started watching Changeling on Apple TV+. Finished the first season (only season so far) a few days ago.
It was interesting enough to continue watching, but I haven't determined if it is good or just ok. Maybe next season? (it has an open ending)

Next on Apple TV+ is Curses! by Dreamworks.
A cartoon series about a cursed family that's trying to lift the curses.
Already 3 episodes in and like it. In concept it's a multi seasonal series, so I hope it doesn't take long for the next seasons to air.

Finished Curses! on Apple TV+ a while ago. Nice series, but they could have put out more episodes considering the storyline. Don't expect more from it.
Added 3 series on my watch list:
- Constellation - Scifi drama I guess (3 eps. available, still have to watch it)
- Argylle - looks like a fun spy movie (in cinemas now)
- The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin - must be a close to reality historic costume drama series that starts next friday

As for HBO Max+:
Still watching Legacy series and put On the Roam on hold.
Started watching Superman & Lois series that's ok so far (not great yet).
Also started watching Ninja Kamui, a new anime with only 2 episodes so far.

Finished Legacy on HBO Max+, very good series. Plays from around 1920 till 1945 in Shanghai.
Ninja Kamui is still ongoing .. great anime.

As for Apple TV+ .. Constellation and Dick Turpin are still ongoing, like them both.
Argylle is available, if it is a movie I should comment on it in the movie thread when I've watched it.

Got an extra streaming service for free: SkyShowtime.
Started watching Star Trek: Strange: New Worlds right away.

Oh, I took Argylle off my list as it appeared to be a buy/rental movie.

Started watching Metalocalypse series on HBO Max. If I enjoy the series until the last episode I'll watch the movie as well.

I've been watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix, having read the book several years ago. It's pretty good, moving along at a quick clip too. They actually fit more than just the first book in the first season. So far a lot of the minor details/structure have changed just by virtue of it being a translation, but all of the minor changes serve the overall direction of the plot very well. So far. I'm sure it helps that D and D have an actual completed series of novels to work from instead of just yarn from GRRM's head.
