I have been binging on this French TV Series { Engrenages (Spiral) } that tackles the French judicial system through the eyes of police, prosecutors and judges.
It is an interesting mix of action and drama and I highly recommend it for those who have not seen it.

It's funny and weird. I gotta watch the final episode still but it's been a good ride so far.

I'm one episode behind but I hope to watch it this weekend. I'm really liking it so far. No doubt its a Vince Gilligan production.
what a beautiful shot from the end of ep. 6

Can't get excited about anything new right now, so going back to old shit. I spent a while on Hulu going back through The X-Files, then I had a sitcom rewatch double-header of The Larry Sanders Show, which paved the way for - and which still outclasses - everything from Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development to The Office and Parks and Recreation, and The Nanny, which always cracks me up and with the amazing Fran Drescher who's still the only female lead to really do justice to the legacy of Lucille Ball.
Right now, The Mentalist is one of my all-time favorites but I'd never seen Simon Baker's previous show The Guardian. It's on Paramount+ and I'm already into Season 2. Solid legal drama. I knew it'd be a warm-up for a rewatch of The Mentalist, but I'm pleasantly surprised how good The Guardian is (even though Baker's character is no Patrick Jane). I also tend to have two shows going at once, a (relatively) serious show that I watch with meals and a (relatively) fun show that I watch before bed. The latter currently is Beverly Hills, 90210, which is also on Paramount+. It was on Hulu several years ago but not with all the episodes, so I had to download most of the later seasons. Looking forward to rewatching it all in good quality.
You should follow Joe's example here:
Burn Notice is one of the GOATs. I watched the Pilot when it premiered, followed it all the way through its run, and have rewatched it many times in the years since it wrapped. Unquestionably in my top 10 all-time. Phenomenal writing and such rich characters, especially the characterization of Michael (helped by great acting from Jeffrey Donovan). Also maybe the best use of the doppelgänger trope in TV history, so many cases/clients mirror aspects of Michael's past or conflicts experienced by Michael and his friends/family. And it's one of the few shows that never loses steam, it's amazing all the way to the end, and from the first time to the 50th time I've never made it through the finale with dry eyes. Truly exceptional TV.
It's not bad, but it's a lame version of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. And it very quickly gets ridiculous with the sheer number of travelers there are. But the episode "001" and the character played by (and the performance delivered by) Enrico Colantoni is the best part of the show. He's a criminally underrated TV actor. He was hilarious as Elliot the photographer in Just Shoot Me! and utterly brilliant and moving as the Sergeant and hostage negotiator leading the SRU in Flashpoint. He does more great work in Travelers. But if you like Travelers, definitely give Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles a chance if you haven't seen it. Same basic storylines and conflicts except better mythology, better characters, better writing, and better action.

Is the new Kurt Sutter on Netflix show bad or critics are just hating on it?

It's probably as bad as his last non Sons of Anarchy show (The Bastard Executioner).

I've been really enjoying Last Samurai Standing. Like a mix of 1890s Japan with Squid Game with Running Man and some political intrigue thrown in. I love that Japan era type of movie/show though.
