I've finished two Korean Shows recently.

1. Kingdom - Imo a borderline masterpiece.

2. Beyond Evil - A very good Show, Lee Dong Sik & Han Ju Won are very good leads imo. It's very twist heavy though as a warning to anyone that doesn't like that type of writing.

And I'm on a hiatus with The Night Agent at the moment, I'm undecided on if I should finish that off or not.

And Niamh I agree with you about From, I haven't watched Silo tbf so I can't judge that Show either way.

Yes! That wasn’t too long ago. Hilarious.

Recent episode was where Ros meets her baby’s grandparents with the huge noses - absolutely hysterical!

Just catching up with the final series of Succession. Half way through and I think it's very poor compared to previous series

Soooo I am going through a serious phase of escapism to take my mind off things …

Watched the box set of the 5 Twilight movies over a few evenings - worked a treat ..

Soooo obviously I went straight into the Vampire Diaries !!

There’s about 8 series which is great as it will hopefully keep me interested for some time …

I actually tried this years ago as I was into True Blood at the and rather enjoyed both of them .. I watched True Blood till the end but gave up on Vampire Diaries after a series or two … no idea why

I've watched 13 episodes of The Guest, and yes I'm going through a Korean Show binge lol.

I'd say with The Guest that it can appear to be a bit slow for the first half hour of episode 1, but once you get past that period it just gets better and better, if you're into Horror/exorcisms anyway.

I'd say that even the first half hour of episode 1 ages well once you start to understand it's importance to the story more deeply.

It's a 16 episode Season so it's not too long.

Well I've finished Mouse on my pilgrimage through Korean Dramas.

A very good Show, it's overall quality might not show itself immediately, but it truly is a masterpiece in fiction.

The ending was also sad imo, and not really the type of character you'd expect to be sad for either, which is a sign of a very strong writer in my view.

I've got to say though I'm having a blast with the Korean Shows at the moment, they're in general in a much better state than UK & US TV, and there I say it but they might be on better form than Japanese Anime as well.

It definitely feels like Korean TV is in it's own golden age.

I only watched the first part of the pilot of Yellowstone, and it wasn't for me personally, but tbf I don't like that type of Show so it's probably a personal preference thing on my end rather than a genuine quality issue.

On my end I've been watching Season 2 of From, I'm six episodes into the Season and I'd say that it's definitely weaker than Season 1 imo as it suffers with padding (especially episodes 3-5) it's not bad by any means (especially compared to certain Shows that I've seen in recent years) but it does need a bit of direction in the plot department like Season 1 had.

I also think that the blonde girl who was on the Bus has been a poor character this Season, they've only given her one dynamic which makes her feel disconnected to most of the other characters in the programme.

And my god episode 5 really was dreadful in an iconic way.

Tbf though episodes 1 & 2 were really good imo, and Boyd Stevens as usual has been a really strong character for the Show, and the theme tune is fantastic, so there's definitely things to still really enjoy about the Show, but it's just a bit more uneven in quality imo.
