What TV Shows Are you Watching?

Started the "Death Note" anime. Good pilot, looks more coherently plotted than a lot of anime. Not sure how they can develop the premise for 37 episodes, but I'm down to find out.

My wife and I just watched the first two seasons of Silo in like a week and a half.  That was a lot!  I've read the books it is based on, and the further it goes the more they diverge.  Personally, I like the book version better, but if you care more about interpersonal drama (parts of the book are a bit like The Martian or Project Hail Mary, with people engineering solutions to their predicament - this is largely excised), you'd probably like the show.

Another thought, Common is in it and he's bad.  I actually thought he was decent in John Wick 2 and in that Western TV show he was on, but man, he's bad here and has a lot of screen time.  Doesn't help that the Alexandria Riley as his wife is MUCH better.

When you finish that one, I'll be quite interested in your thoughts, it's a good one to hear people's opinions on.  I will say the last few issues of the manga are worth reading after the anime, for contrast.  For the most part they are quite close though.

36 more episodes at 1-2 episodes a week will take me a while, but I'll try to report back. (I am an anti-binger, I spread viewings out by preference).
