    What did you think of AHS 1984, I wasn't really hooked into it and took a break after a couple of episodes, I might revisit it at some point

    Honestly, I thought this season was kinda weak. There were a few unexpected twists, but I feel like it fell flat. I wasn't super impressed with the last couple of seasons. Hotel was the last season that I really enjoyed.

    Yeah Hotel wasn't bad, I still think the Murder House, Asylum & Freak Show were hard to top. I remember watching Asylum in a remote cottage in the Scottish Highlands on my own, great idea! lol

    I liked Murder House and the first part of Asylum but by the time they got to the “Name Game” dance I was out. I liked the whole idea of Freak Show but I think I was just yearning for another season of Carnivale.

    Has anyone watched the TZrevival? It’s not streaming anywhere in Germany.

    I haven't watched it but Stremio is a good app for streaming stuff that's not necessarily available in your country/package (if you take my meaning). It's my go to for non-Netflix stuff.

    Thanks! Our TV offerings in English here are pathetic and eben though I know I haven’t even really done a deep dive into Netflix, Prime or Disney, I still feel like I’ve seen EVERYTHING. And the husband is annoyingly picky.

    I haven't even bothered plugging my tv aerial in here in Ireland, I have an Android Box for Netflix and Stremio and occasionally watch All4 (UK Channel 4 App) as they have box sets like Angel, Buffy, etc for free and we can still get it across the border for free.

    Finished listening to The Humans (Audiobook) by Matt Haig, now listening to a book called Every Move You Make by Deborah Bee the write up had a Gone Girl kind of vibe about it, although I think it may be less thriller like and more mystery.

    Happily discovered Netflix now have Informer on their platform (it was an Amazon original series) as I could not get it to stream anywhere else. So that will be watching sorted for a couple of nights anyway.

    What’s Informer? I don’t thinks her in Germany, but that might be the language search.

    Tv series with Paddy Considine, Pakistani kid is recruited by cops to be a confidential informer for Counter Terrorism. Has a few actors out of Ackley Bridge which was a channel 4 series I really enjoyed.

    I’ll have a look for it! Sometimes Netflix things also randomly show up on Prime here.

    I've been watching a lot of anime lately (too many to list). I have also been watching Nancy Drew.

    Has anyone been watching Riverdale? What’d you think of the time jump?

    I've been watching anime. I just finished "Fire Force (s2)" and "Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (s3)". I was thinking about checking out "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" next.

    Powering through books and audiobooks at the moment in a bid to stay away from TV/social media.

    Finished another Nightshade Book (AJ Scudiere) and Firefly Lane (chick lit by Kristin Hannah, series currently on Netflix) this weekend and around halfway throught The Sandman (Neil Gaiman/DC) audible series - great casting on that!

    Onto my 6th Nightshade book now, finished no 5 last weekend. Also finished up listening to The Sandman, Neil Gaiman's book/audible series. Really enjoyed that although I had to go back and listen to a couple of episodes a 2nd time as trying to keep track of all the characters was tough sometimes.

    Up next on audible is The Happy Hoofer - Celia Imrie's autobiography, great actress and I look forward to listening to it.

    I haven't been in the mood to read, but I have 2 new releases calling my name.

    I've been spending most of my free time playing Genshin Impact.

    Finshed all of the Nightshade books that are currently written now (9 of them), 10 isn't out until September, damn lockdown and all this free time to read books!

    I finished the Happy Hoofer too, polished off another Bridgerton book (an appalling Cinderella rip off but I still listened to it all) and have now started listening to another Matt Haig audiobook - The Labrador Pact (Human's as seen through the eyes of their family dog).

    What's everyone else reading?

    I just finished up KOSAL from Karen Marie Moning and I'm now working my way through the Mageri series from Dannika Dark. I'm still playing Genshin Impact as well.

    I'm also lilithsrose, but I made a new account and deleted my old one. I'm surprised that it doesn't delete old posts and such.

    I've just been reading through Dannika Dark books. I finished up the Mageri series and now I'm reading book two of the Seven series.

    I haven't read as much as I'd like the last month or so, I am currently reading a couple of books:

    John dies at the end and Nine Goblins. Then I've just finished listening to clanlands which was an accompaniment to Men in Kilts (2 actors from Outlander doing a tour of Scotland in a campervan)
