I can't even bear to finish For All Mankind because it got so ridiculous and poorly written.

Instead blasted through Shrinking and even though the writing is a little on the nose with the modern vernacular, it is really breezy, hilarious and sweet and just what I needed 😊

It's such a fun show, makes me wish I had boisterous Americans as friends for a second *. Also, I absolutely loved uber-sarcastic Harrison Ford, he absolutely killed it.

while forgetting how insanely privileged/unrealistic it is for these people to have so much free time... and for the main character not to be deregistered as a therapist ages ago for having his client live in his own house lol.

Slow Horses or Criminal Records next, maybe. Yo ho ho.

Yeah I gave up on For All Mankind after second season, wasn’t good anymore. Other Apple shows I liked were Foundation, Hijack and Severance. Really like Severance. I found there’s a few gems on Apple but not sure there’s enough content for me to subscribe long term, maybe just dip back in for the next seasons of the shows I liked when they come out.

Severance was off the charts good, I'm so worried that s2 won't live up to it after being delayed for years.
