    I watched Bosch and Bosch: Legacy on Freevee. I've got a few days left
    till it goes away. Anything I should really catch?

    I borrowed the ROKU stick from the library with Apple TV + but will have
    to return it in a couple of weeks. Anything I should really try to
    watch? I was thinking of Slow Horses. Not sure I could get into
    Severance. Or maybe I watched it and forgot due to the brain operation.

    Re: Apple, I've enjoyed "Silo" (esp. the first season), and "Foundation" (still haven't gotten to season #3 yet), though you won't be able to
    finish either of those series as they're not done yet. Also, "Hijack"
    was diverting. And I've enjoyed "The Buccaneers" which looks beautiful
    in 4k. :)

    I *really* enjoy Slow Horses and am eagerly awaiting Season 5 next
    month. Gary Oldman is amazing and there's a strong supporting cast too.

    I struggled mightily and managed to get through the first season of
    Severance. It finally seemed to move a bit in the final episode of
    Season 1 but when I watched the first episode of Season 2, it was back
    to the same glacial pacing as Season 1. I know that some shows, like The
    Wire, were written as "slow burns", stories that moved slowly but built
    to a compelling culmination, and I think Severance must be intended this
    way. But for my money, it's just a slow bore. It just pays off way too
    slowly for my taste and I simply don't have the patience so I dropped it
    after the first episode of Season 2.

    Of course you may feel completely differently about both shows. Those
    are just my two cents worth.
