I watched episodes 1 and 2. I feel very uncomfortable. There were so many uncomfortable moments and later on SA triggers. It's worth finishing it if you can though. Only 7 episodes and a couple are only 30 minutes. I was blown away to learn that not only is it based on true events but that the actor playing Donny is the actual stalking victim. I second all this. If you’re uncomfortable now, think twice before continuing. It gets pretty intense with the SA. But imo, it’s important and powerful. Really ties into his overall story.

DH and I started Fallout and are 2 episodes in. Neither of us have knowledge about the video game, so it's just an enjoyable watch for us!

Oh, I have every intention of seeing this through.
I just think they have nailed making the viewer feel the unease and concern.

I stumbled onto a show called School Spirits on Netflix this weekend and I'm loving it. It's about a girl who was killed at her high school, and her ghost joins other spirits that were killed in the same location and haven't 'moved on' yet as she tries to figure out what happened to her. I watched that on Paramont+ when it came out. The ending is quite a cliffhanger

DH started the Conan O'Brien show after I fell asleep the other night and paused it so that I could watch it with him since it was so funny. I've only watched half of the Ireland episode and Argentina. There is a whole scene on the Argentina one where he is eating at a restaurant that had us laughing nonstop it was so funny.

Okay, I finished Baby Reindeer. That episode 4 took some time to get through. My kid was running around so I had to turn it off a few times.
Three cheers for Donny’s parents!

I’ve been watching Ten Percent, which is a British version of the French show Call My Agent. I think it’s hilarious. Tons of great actors. I’m watching it on my library Hoopla app. Not sure where else it is available; maybe Prime, since it came out there? I think it came out in 2022 (8 episodes) and didn’t get renewed, so I’m not sure if the season will tie up nicely or be unfinished. I would have happily watched it back then if I knew about it.

Not a show, but a movie I finally got around to watching Rocket Man...and it was SO good. It's included if you have a Paramount plus subscription. I'm watching it again today.

For anyone who likes adventure stories (and can suspend disbelief for magical elements) I highly highly recommend Renegade Nell on Disney+. One of the best series I've binged in recent months. I agree! It’s so well done and just a really good show.

We’ll finish Fallout tonight, curious to see how it ends. Thanks to everyone who discussed it upthread.
Watched The Last of Us earlier this year and enjoyed it as well. I didn’t realize that video games were so detailed with storylines, obviously I’m not a gamer.

I think it would be fine for a tween, there is some mild violence (it is a highwayman/woman story after all) and some of the magic elements might be a little scary if they're sensitive, but nothing super gruesome or too dramatic. Disney has it under it's TV-14 rating and Common Sense Media lists it as appropriate for ages 11+ if that helps.
