I love this show. Shit is getting real serious now and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

I'm a bit behind on the last few episodes but really liking it so far. I'm shocked that they killed off a character I thought would be a regular in the series.
Btw, I know you have devoured most of the TV shows out there. Have you tried watching anime or do you watch anime? I recently reconnected with the genre when I started watching Rising of the Shield Hero. After that, I've been binge watching other anime titles. The best thing about not watching it regularly for decades is that I have so much content to keep me occupied.

I don't watch a lot of anime.
I recently watched Monster at @Peteyandjia 's urging and really, really enjoyed it.The characters were incredibly good.
Holy crap, I thought this was the Carnival Row thread and was about to ask what the hell people liked so much.
As for Pennyworth, Alfred's my favorite character on television right now. I'm not surprised you like him, he'd fit right in as a member of Kingsman.

I would recommend Rising of the Shield Hero (subbed version of course). It's a not-so-heavy fantasy adventure series with a twist. It's just 25 episodes. I hope you try it.
Alfred also reminds me of a young Michael Caine due to the accent. It's not exactly the same but I just get a Michael Caine vibe.

If you ain’t seen’t it, you should definitely watch Mr. In-Between. The first season is I think like 6 short episodes, and I was surprised how good it was. Really fun show.

I begged everyone to watch this when it first came out.
Didn't get many nibbles but the few who did, loved it.
It slows down a bit in the middle but man, what an ending.

If I watch it with subs, it could take me a long time to get to it.
Dubbed I'd watch it pretty much straight away.

I think I would describe it as Breaking Bad meets Curb Your Enthusiasm.

And I found it both funnier and more violent than either.

Thoughts on Carnival Row?
I watched the first two episodes last night and I really dig it. I was expecting to cringe at Cara's acting but she's actually okay. I like the plotline, I loved the sort of Punch and Judy thing with the little creatures, it's really really good.

Two New SPAWN Animated Series Planned After the Movie Reboot
Todd McFarlane is gearing up for a new wave of Spawn media soon, and he’s aiming for a surprising market: kids.
The Image Comics co-founder dropped a slew of Spawn news on fans at Fan Expo Canada and announced he would be developing two new animated series related to the property, one of which will be aimed at adults, the other at children.
"We’re talking right now," McFarlane explained. "I just had a couple meetings this weekend about a couple different animation looks, both something that we can get kids in at a younger age and then get them into the sort of crack cocaine version of Spawn. And then do the adult one. So we’re talking about that. I think both of those come after the movie."
Despite the incredibly adult tones of the Spawn comics, the franchise has always been marketed at teenagers. 1997's Todd McFarlane’s Spawn, was an HBO-exclusive animated series aimed at adults. However, the feature film released at the same time was marketed with a softer PG-13 rating and toned down the more mature elements of the character. McFarlane has also toyed with a Spawn geared at kids before with The Adventures of Spawn, a 2008 webcomic spin-off that reimagined the character and his allies as an all-ages adventure book.
Still, these announcements hinge on a preceding factor: the movie's release. With a script by McFarlane and having already cast Jamie Foxx as Al Simmons/Spawn and Jeremy Renner as Detective Twitch Williams, the film has languished in development hell since it's 2015 announcement. Shooting was expected to begin in early 2019 with McFarlane making his directorial debut but appears to have been delayed.
The news is coming at the end of a pretty big year for the character. Spawn#300 is set to be a massive celebration, and he's making his long-awaited fighting game return as a Mortal Kombat 11 DLC character in March 2020, with Keith David reportedly returning to voice the character.
