Contrary to the negative opinions about Leanne, I’m thoroughly enjoying it. It has a good support cast. It’s nice to watch something light.

Agree about the support cast. The reason i gave it a try was Kristen Johnston (of 3rd Rock from the Sun and The Exes) and Ryan Stiles (The Drew Cary Show and Who's Line Is It?). While not all the humor is to my taste those two and the actors playing the parents of Leanne and Carol are worth giving it a chance (4 episodes in now).

Some shows, especially comedies, can take a while to find their 'rhythm', to where every episode satisfies. I'm a fan of the Wayans family but so far have only been able to an episode or two at a time of their new one (on Paramount) Poppa's House. First Episode or two of The Neighborhood (with Cedric The Entertainer) didn't grab me but ended up catching up with all 7 seasons over this past winter.
 
I loved Crash Landing on You. It was a love story set in North Korea. I watched the series numerous times. It has subtitles and a lot of people can't tolerate it.

Death Valley (2005), 6 episodes

This is one of the freshest and most entertaining series I've seen in awhile.

In my memory it's the only series set in Wales that I've seen. An eccentric retired TV sleuth teams up with a slightly wacky but aggressive Detective Sargent who as a duo, solve complex crimes.

The legendary Timothy Spall and also Gwyneth Keyworth star in this unique series with clever dialogue and plenty of giggles. I've only seen the first 2 eps, but I'm anxious to see the others.

In the UK it's on BBC One, while in the States it's on either Britbox or AppleTV.

I thought it started to pick up steam when Carol convinced Leanne to go out to find a man and Leanne was trying on various outfits with "thumbs downs". I actually laughed out loud at that one.
 
I stopped watching Luther on Episode 2 of the 2d season: that cringe-worthy Alice Morgan was still in it, and the chief plot revolved around a creepy killer in a childish mask. Not even the wonderful Idris could hold me anymore.
 
I've been waiting for over 2 years for the second season of Blue Eye Samurai, the most artful, beautiful anime series ever, and a very interesting, compelling story, too, whether you're into anime or not. I'm not, actually, but I loved the first series.

Purportedly, season 2 will air on Netflix *sometime* in 2026. Worth waiting for.
 
Just started watching Three Little Birds on MAX. It's about 3 beautiful women going to England from Jamaica. They're so kind yet their entering an extremely prejudice town. So far they're making it through okay as they're strong. If I remember, I'll let you know how it went at the end. No spoilers allowed on this end.
