I honestly canāt think of any shows coming out this year that interests me. Maybe something will come out of left field and be surprisingly great 
Same here, Stranger Things ending left a weird gap. I will probably stick with slower shows in 2026, stuff like The Bear, Severance, and whatever HBO does next. After a long running series ends, it always takes a while before something fills that space.
Just āfinishedā the last episode of American Primeval yesterday. Had to get Netflix to watch the Christmas Day football games, so I have it around for another couple weeks.
What a mess. First 3 episodes were good enough to binge. I didnāt look at the cast so didnāt recognize Taylor Kitsch in e1 - obviously Kitsch planned it that way. When I did check the cast to confirm it was Kitsch, I saw that Kim Coates would portray Brigham Young. While I think Kitsch probably agreed to scruff up his image to regain leading man status in Hollywoo, I donāt think Coates has any plans to become anything more than a character actor, so Brigham Young was going to be psychotic.
Second half got a little too soap opera-y for me. Key to good melodrama is never make the audience feel stupid for buying in. The nearly scalped Mormon guy, also got weird. The last episode could only go one way, I thought, so checked wiki - didnāt see everybody dying - but it was enough. Exited about halfway in. Started rewatching Peaky Blinders.
The Agency
S01E01 starts out great.
I carried this over from the Costco 2026 thread because it belongs here, too.
Fallout the tv show is crack. I donāt play the game, so I didnāt know about the popularity of Big Iron among fans, but in jumping up laughing I almost kicked the ottoman into the tv when it came on during S2E1. A perfect place for Marty Robbinsā Big Iron. Finally, after all these years, somebody gets it.
Best part is that Prime has given the Fallout soundtrack the The Expanse treatment and it is glorious.
Going to 0:55 gets you straight to Goggins and Big Iron. ~NSFW~
I usually hate medical dramas, but The Pitt is pretty good. Very dark and gritty, and Noah Wyle (ER), is excellent in the lead role.
I heard that because heās been in medical dramas for three decades heās actually knowledgeable in basic medicine, such as how to make a suture or how to intubate someone.
And here I was thinking it was his acting skills. 
Imagine youāre on an airplane and you have a medical emergency. They make a call for a doctor. Nothing. Then Wyle hesitantly comes forward āuhā¦ Iām not a doctor, but I played one for thirty years on TV. I picked up some stuff, I guess.ā
And thatās the story of how I got an arm for a leg, and a leg for an arm!
I donāt like him, but he was pretty successful in the 80s. Also, letās keep politics out of this thread before it turns into all the other threads
