    For All Man Kind is great, Star City is pretty good so far, Silo is great but drags at parts, and Severance is great, Foundation is well made and gets a little better each season. Monarch started strong, but gave up on it. Invasion was okay. Overall these shows are better than almost everything else on TV. Plenty of good non sci-fi too, widows bay, slow horses, lasso, etc. Definitely building out a high quality catalog and hitting their stride.

      I started Star City, and the fact that everyone speaks English in Russia just took me out of it completely. Couldn’t make it through the first episode, it was so distracting.

        Alternative would be to be a show entirely subtitled which might kill its broad appeal, so understand why they did it. But definitely takes some getting used to. Gonna be weird if they ever start talking to people in America and have to switch to them speaking both Russian & English.

        It takes a while but it does get good, especially the Empire storyline. There’s some dumb writing and a couple mid actors but for the most part it’s a good show.
