My wife and I started Chernobyl last night in an effort to make the most of our remaining time subscribed to HBO Go after GoT ended. We are only one episode in, but holy moly... it's REALLY good!

And if you like it (or even if you don't), definitely check out Patriot.. very similar premise but very tonally different. Patriot almost has a Coen brothers feel to it.. or maybe not?

I can vouch for all of these! Chernobyl is just mind blowing - how completely inept everyone was to handle it. Barry is fun. Patriot season 1 was EXCELLENT, unlike any other spy-esque show! Season 2, not so much.
 
This is probably blasphemy, but i'm 2/3 of the way through Deadwood season 3 and am finding it kind of boring. It's entertaining enough, and i will still absolutley finish and watch the movie, but i don't really understand the universal praise.

I would agree that Netflix and HBO content, barring a few exceptions, has not been great recently, but FX, Amazon and Hulu have been on fire lately with tons of great stuff like Handmaid's Tale, Legion, Homecoming, Pose, Pen15, Catastrophe, What We Do In The Shadows, ACS, Better Things...the list goes on...

I would also say the end of The Americans was a bigger loss than the end of GoT.

I still have yet to watch most of those admittedly. Handmaid's Tale season one was great, but season 2 was exploitative misery porn, and if it hadn't been beautifully acted and shot, i would've hated it.

The americans probably was more of a loss than game of thrones (i still need to watch), but it ended last year. GoT marked the end of that era.

Starting Killing Eve S2 tonight. That was the surprise hit of last year for me and Mrs Moore so really psyched about that one.

Where can you watch season 2 of Killing Eve on streaming? I know only Season 1 is on Hulu unless they recently added it.

Is there an equivalent of BBC iPlayer over there?

Potentially something like OnDemand for cable subscriptions. I don’t have cable and can download stuff, I know how, it just takes some effort to do so. Wasn’t sure if there was an easy way.

I also didn’t know that it’s still airing. For some reason I thought Season 2 had already finished.

Maybe GoT is coming toward the end of the white male golden age of TV, but in some respects tv is more exciting than ever. The Pamela Adlons and Lindy Wests and Donald Glovers and Jordan Peeles and Lena Waithes are just getting started. It’s becoming harder for each show to become as much of a cultural phenomenon because of the fractured landscape of tv, but creatively, we’re getting more and better stories from voices that we haven’t heard as much from in the past. I think this is still just in its nascent stages, and when we look back, people will point to shows like Master of None & Atlanta as being harbingers of a major shift in more ways than one.
