I started watching For All Mankind. The first season was ok. The second season can best be described as not a Space Opera, but a Soap Opera set in Space. Hope the 3rd season is better.
 
I know I'm late to the party on this, but I can't recommend Succession enough. I started it about a month ago, and would just watch an episode a day, and then it just started snowballing. I finished a 39 episode series in 3 weeks, and all the episodes are at least an hour. Every actor plays their character perfectly, and the dialogue is amazing.

The only series I've totally rewatched is Sopranos, but I will absolutely rewatch this in a year or so.
 
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 was good.
I've been disappointed in Justified: Primeval. I think the original series set in Kentucky was better.
I was blown away by the singing talent of the crew on Strange New Worlds on Paramount+. Celia Rose Gooding was amazing in episode 9, Subspace Rhapsody.
I enjoyed Jack Ryan on Prime.
65 on Netflix was a fun film to watch. It's like Lost in Space meets Jurassic Park.
Extraction 2 was a good follow up to Extraction on Netflix.
Hidden Strike on Netflix was good. Jackie Chan and John Cena are funny.
I enjoyed Last Seen Alive on Netflix. Gerard Butler did great.

Justified : Primeval was good but disappointing compared to the original, but in that the original was one of the best shows of all time (IMHO), I guess that was to be expected. Every single character in the original was memorable.

I'm about halfway through Primeval, and I enjoy it, but it it's not the original. It needs Walton Goggins, who has perhaps become my favorite actor.

I only know this because of my son, but the various series have had tons of references to the animated series. I think he's said several story lines were continued too. For example, Darth Maul didn't die and was in Star Wars: Rebels. Ahsoka was in it too.


Her first appearance was actually in The Clone Wars animated movie. Her story line continued through that series. I highly recommend both Clone Wars and Rebels. Both are great shows that are essentially prequels to Ashoka.

Thank you. When I looked for it, I didn't think Rebels sounded like what I remembered.
 
Now that I've watched the first two episodes of Ahsoka, I'm remembering more about Clone Wars. My son used to watch those episodes like crazy. So far, I'm liking this series. Too many of the recent series have felt like the early episodes weren't very good, but you felt like you had to hang in there because you knew they were setting it all up. This one is watchable from the get go.
 
Can anyone recommend any good American Revolution-era series?

I've already watched Turn two times. Loved it.

Also, I enjoyed Barkskins, but it was only 1 season. It left me wanting much more!

Seems like a void in this area.
