Right now I'm binging on Billions. It's like fungus. It grows on you.

Jim Benson = Jim Henson!

Go for it, PFR, and follow it with "The Dark Crystal" on Netflix. Different kettle of fish altogether (Jim Benson's puppet workshop) but equally entertaining

You're lucky, my doctor told me not to buy any green bananas.

Doctor: "Well the good news is you are recovering comfortably right now,
the bad news is I wouldn't start watching any new TV series If I was you..."

The trailer looks bonkers enough to be very interesting.
But we had to cut down on watching new TV series..

Fatigue after too many seasons 6 or 7 [or more] has done for our enthusiasm...

It is very good if you like fantasy and alternate reality. IMHO.

I hadn't heard of this. Seems like I never have time to get involved in a TV series, but this sounds interesting. Wikipedia says it's on Amazon video in the US.

I was tempted to put this as folklore. Maybe it should be but what the heck!

Anyone seen it yet? Lots of Irish folklore mixed with fantasy set in an alternate reality. Some flaws but all in all full of good ideas. Well acted, filmed and produced. In my opinion anyway. Orlando Bloom plays a very good part.

Lots of political analogies to be had with the Fae becoming ensnared in a war between different human factions. Then being vilified and made scapegoats in the city they settled in after being made refugees by the warring factions. Quite chilling.

I hope it develops into another series.
