I loved the first couple seasons of Penny Dreadful, but unfortunately the final season really fell flat for me. I wouldn’t say I hated the ending, but I was definitely disappointed. Forgot The Leftovers on my list. I will forever love Carrie Coon because of that show. Yes, the final season of PD was woefully lacking. My understanding is that they'd been cancelled, knew they'd been cancelled, and just did a hurry up and end it one way or another.

Listing my faves it always too difficult but I'm currently watching Killing Eve, Chernobyl, Billions, Barry, This is us.. Waiting for new episodes on Big little lies, Stranger things, Westworld, The good girls (the second season isn't out in finland yet ), Money heist, Handmaid's tale, Younger, maybe even the Affair. Probably forgetting a lot of shows I just finished Luther and I'm doing a rewatch on Desperate housewives. I still love Grey's anatomy and I also like the newer hospital dramas, New Amsterdam and The Resident. I basically always have an ongoing rewatch of Gilmore girls going.

Forgot The Leftovers on my list. I will forever love Carrie Coon because of that show. Replying to izzue too. I think what happened was, they had a 3 season storyline at the start for Vanessa with some side plots in mind (Lily, imo, was always planned). Then going into Season 4, knowing the end point of that main narrative, they decided to expand the story in the hopes of a fourth season, hence the introduction of Hyde, Catriona, Lyle in Egypt etc. Then sometime during the filming they learned they wouldnt get a renewal so had to wrap these new stories quickly and unsatisfactorily, and rush Vanessa’s story that they had planned to spin out longer by padding with these other stories. My take anyway, i do believe Logan when he says the story was always three seasons. I just think he didnt add that the world grew in the telling and he wanted to do more. (He was dishonest afterwards in interviews though, imo, when he said the end was his choice). The style, acting, production and directing was all pure quality though so i am looking forward to the City of Angels spin off.

I don't really watch comedy but these are the best shows I've ever seen:
Six Feet Under Breaking Bad Hannibal The Leftovers
Perfection from beginning to end imo. An honourable mention goes to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lost. Two shows that I absolutely loved watching but I wouldn't put them in the same category as the other shows.

I really wanted to like Hannibal but I just couldn’t get into it. Mads was good, and it had an interesting style, but I found many of the episodes to be an absolute slog to get through. I did end up finishing it though.

Just watched episode 3 of Chernobyl. OMG, you need a stomach of steel for that episode. Gruesome isn't enough to describe what was in that. To make matters worse, it actually happened. Those poor men.

Those poor men. I've been struggling with the decision of whether to watch Chernobyl or not. I haven't thought I was going to be able to do it, knowing it really happened and how horrific it was. Your post has confirmed what I knew would be the case, that I just can't. Thank you, truly, for sparing me the pain of watching! [Most especially having just going through this S8 of GOT - my heartbreak reserve is bankrupt!]
