I started watching Cross, and I have to say that it's been pretty good. Before that, I watched the 3rd season of the Lincoln Lawyer.
Never heard of it (Cross). Give me a clue of what it's about and what service it's on.
Alex Cross, a decorated D.C. homicide detective and forensic psychologist faces a sadistic serial killer; he and his partner, John Sampson track this killer and a threat from Cross' past appears with ill intent. It's on Amazon.
OK, cool. Seems like something I could get into. Thanks.

I really dug the first episode, haven't been able to get back to it but definitely will.

Silo Season 2 just came out. The wife and I will watch that as soon as we finish Shogun. 5 eps in on Shogun and I like to so far. Samurai Game of Thrones. Will write more once we finish it.

So, it sounds like you recommend Silo. As a sci fi buff, I might have to watch it but not sure it looks like my kind of sci fi. More dystopian.

Wife and I started season 2 of Silo. I think it's subpar after how great Fallout and The Last Of Us were. The main female lead has ridiculous levels of superhuman strength at times that pull all believability out of situations. Especially since there's literally nothing superhuman about her.

Yeah, enjoyed both of those shows you mentioned especially TLOU. Can't wait for the next season.

I haven't checked out Fallout yet; may give that a shot. As for Silo, Bone, it's a bit dystopian (the people are all living in an underground silo because they believe the world has gone toxic due to nuclear war or something) but also a bit of a mystery box show (some people leave / are banished from the silo and don't return; do they die? Is there anything out there? Should our characters go out and venture outside?). It has some good characters, suspense, mystery to it. It sort of suffers from the mid-season slouch a lot of current shows go through; episodes 1-2 are really cool, then several episodes sloooow the plot down and meander, then it gets ramped back up and exciting again for the end of the season. But that's pretty common in TV these days IMO.

I started watching Silo. I think I’m on episode 3. Yeah, interesting premise. I’ll keep at it.

Maybe outwardly but not much at all alike. Totally different tones.

Fallout has more dark comedy to it where silo is more straight drama.

Finished Cross….. pretty dang good. Ryan Eggold deserves an Emmy nomination. He killed that roll and considering his previous characters he’s played, wow.

S2, E2 of Silo was one of the best episodes yet in the series.

I need to watch the new season of Silo soon.

I started watching The Old Man last night. It starts off really slow, but started getting interesting about 2/3rds of the way through.
