Watching Death and Other Details on Hulu. 2 episodes so far and really enjoying the murder mystery. A stereotypical spoiled rich son character is a bit annoying, but Mandy Patinkin and Violett Beane as the leads are fun to watch. 8/10 so far.

Mr. Mercedes Seasons 1 & 2 - 9/10

For those who are fans of the Stephen King trilogy, these two seasons cover volumes 1 & 3. I understand the second volume is covered in season 3.

The first season adheres very closely to the book and is excellent. Great acting, production, music and story. A horrifying villain, a great flawed hero protagonist and a killer supporting cast. Everything you’d want. Very highly recommended.

The second season picks up important element of the third book but then veers off in its own direction. Still, excellent television.

As a fan of King’s second volume, I’m very much looking forward to season 3.

Daredevil (Netflix) Season 1, episode 1 - 10/10

I’d watched all 3 seasons of Daredevil when Netflix aired them and remember being stunned by how good they were. Now that they're on Disney+ I watched the first episode of the first season to see if it holds up and, holy crap, it sure does. With everything that’s gone wrong with what’s come out of the MCU (pretty much since Spider-Man No Way Home, with some exceptions), both movies and TV, these past few years, the powers-that-be at Marvel Studios need to watch this show to see how these characters should be done right.

I'd give it the same rating, but only because of the Kingpin.
I've never seen someone cast so perfectly for the part.

We just watched season 3, based on the second Stephen King book in the series. Excellent!

I?d give Mr. Mercedes seasons 1 - 3 an 8/10.
