Sharp Objects was so good, I will never forget that watching experience during a heatwave, it felt like I was right there across the ocean in sweltering Georgia. God damn, I still can't believe Vallée is dead.

I know it's controversial, but I think Watchmen was outstanding.

Haven't seen six shows on that list and my biggest regret is (still) not jumping on the Pachinko train. But there's so much stuff to watch right now, I don't have enough time to deal with the backlog as well.

R1 how is that controversial? Watchmen was critically acclaimed and won a bunch of awards and was a hit.
