Talk about TV pilots & series [network AND streaming]
This is an old, long gone series, but worth your time. Jim Henson's The Storyteller is on Amazon Prime now. Scripts by Oscar-winner Anthony Minghella. Amazing visuals. The titular character is played by John Hurt. My favorite episodes are 2, 3, and 5.
Modern Love is back on Amazon prime. 8 new episodes based on different NYTimes Modern Love essays.

Have I mentioned recently how much I love Wayne on Amazon? I love this character. You learn right off meeting Wayne, you can knock Wayne down, but Wayne will not stay down — ever.
(Warning, cursing and violence enclosed)
Meet Wayne:
Season 2 of the Witcher. Finally! Yay yay yay!
This might be one of the few places where watching TV isn't looked at as a bad thing. I watched the first season and it was a mixed bag for me. Some episodes in the anthology were amazing and others were blah.
@chad The Witcher? I love The Witcher.
Screenwriting is I think one of the only professions in which you'll hear a fellow professional say "I'm not watching enough TV." (smile)
If you don't mind a lot of sex and nudity (albeit well-done and not gratuitous), this show is worth the investment and comes in tidy 30 minute-ish installments. A bonus is that the scripts for the first (and only so far) season are available for purchase on Amazon.
Yes and I do too. When Game of Throne's ended, I had an existential crisis. I went through The Last Kingdom before finding the Witcher. I still have a preference for The Last Kingdom but sadly, it is now DOA.
@michele I have been mildly curious about Modern Love. Oddly, that image? Suddenly amps up my interest. Talk about an image that captures a moment in time. A very long moment while we're living it. Pandemic and romance/relationships.
Oh you can't tell which I'm replying to. The elbow bump.
Maybe everybody else has already seen this. I'm way behind on television. But this opening -- while weirdly, is not an introduction to the world this series is set in, which is rural Kentucky -- is a great intro to the main character, Raylan Givens. I was told to watch the first episode, and if that didn't grab me, it wasn't my show. Well it's my kind of show not because it's crime or shoot-em-up or whatnot but because it's characters and world created by Elmore Leonard. I'm thrilled to know that somebody other than Scott Berg can do a kickass adaptation of Elmore Leonard.
If that doesn't work I'll be editing until I get it to, fair warning!

Yay, it worked!
