I spent the past two days binge watching both seasons (3 and then 2). I saw s1 4 or 5 years ago.
Season 1 was probably top 10 if not top 5 TV kino for the whole decade. I don't think much discussion is warranted on that one.

Season 2 - What the frick was that ending? It felt like they killed both of them without much of a reason and there was no payoff. They still could have reasonably done this if there had been some sort of payoff, but there wasn't. Every single moid main character was killed off, along with most of the minor ones, and the girlbosses were the only ones that survived. I don't actually think this was a woke thing, just weird writing. Plus all the usual complaints about the directing and general midness of the whole thing. Pre-sobriety Ray is literally me though, and Vince Vaughn urban warfare was fun at times.
I did notice that the raven mask character and several of the plot points surrounding him and otherwise in the show seemed to be lifted straight from the Hotline Miami vidya franchise.
Season 3 - Return to form. First half felt almost as good as season 1, but the 3-layer simultaneous separate timelines felt excessive and confusing at times and I wasn't as happy with the second half. The bipoc main character was fine and didn't feel forced. Grace Gummer's (I assume everyone here has seen Mr Robot) sister is in it and their faces are similar enough that I briefly thought it was her. Overall pretty good but not as good as season 1. The dementia stuff was kinda mid but they mostly pulled it off and the fake death was decently done as a plot twist, if not in actual delivery.
Season 4 - Haven't started. I'll probably binge it at some point after the entire thing is available online, mostly because of gilfmode Jodie Foster (she has aged impeccably).

Grace Gummer is so hot when she has red hair. I'm glad for the season 3 review because I skipped it after how shit season 2 is.
For Night Country, first episode was promising, acting was good, setting is interesting I think it had a great set up -- I just hate having to wait for the episodes on a streaming service the latest trend of doing a single episode a week is stupid and annoying.

I watched one episode of Silo and dropped it for this exact reason. I read the book which was great but books two and three were pretty bad. The author also had no clue how anything worked

Oh I really liked season 1 of silo but have been wondering how it's going to go there's a lot of mysterious stuff that I'm fearing will never get explained.

I haven't started s4 both because of the chuds saying it's bad (I won't lie, this influences my watch decisions) and because I can't see the whole thing at once over a weekend. Should I start it anyway? Might be nice to actually be forced to watch a show like a normal person for once.

Why because we like the first episode of a TV show? Night Country has been more entertaining than most of the slop on rn.
