We watched the first season of House of the Dragon. It was very good.

I watched the first season of Rings of Power. It had its ups and downs, but I enjoyed it.

Now I've been watching the first season of Andor. It's excellent. Has a bit of a slow ramp up for the first 3 episodes, which is pretty standard for a debut season, but it's been consistently amazing since then.

Have been watching Pachinko on Apple TV+ .. a nice series to watch.
Just put a new series on the Up Next list: The Big Door Prize. It's a dramady that might be fun to watch.

On HBO Max I've started with a new series (only 2 episodes available so far) Gotham Knights. It starts with the death of Batman and his adoptive son trying to figure out who's responsible. It's interesting enough to see how it develops. Hope it will do better than de Batwoman series I stopped watching.
Also started with Intergalactic a low budget scifi series of only one season. It's not bad.
Still have to finish the Kung Fu series that I've put on hold to watch other movies, cartoons and (short) series.

I finished up Picard season 3 last night.

Excellent.

Washed the terrible taste of the first two seasons out of my brain. Feels like the new writers actually watched/cared/knew about TNG this time. The characters act like real Starfleet characters and not fucked-up Marvel NPCs.

Finally finished watching Dickinson on AppleTV+. It was an odd series, but I've enjoyed watching it.
Soon a new season of Invasion will start so I'll be watching that next to Foundation. But in between I'll start watching The Big Door Prize.

Finished The Big Door Prize and Foundation on AppleTV+ but still watching Invasion. Got some other series in my to watch list, so not ending my subscription anytime soon.

On HBO Max I've watched and am watching some anime, but I noticed a new season of OFMD. Will be watching that one next.

Oh, I didn't realize Our Flag Means Death was back already. I'll have to check that out. Loki season 2 is streaming again as well, so I'll focus on those two for now.

Added it to my watch list.
Also noticed a new season of For All Mankind airing on Apple TV next month, will be watching that for sure.

As for now I've started watching Hello Tomorrow on Apple TV. It's about some salesmen in a retro future. Just halfway episode 2, but it is kind of nice.
