A bit disappointed in this list. For being so close to the holidays there doesn't seem to be much - or at least much that interests me. What do others think?

Same.
I did watch ep 1 last night of All her Fault. Pretty good and the acting is tragically realistic. So far.

Usually the good stuff is held back and released around the holidays - what happened this year? Fingers crossed for December.

On ep 5 and I am really enjoying it sooo much. The side story of the cop who has a handicapped boy is very touching. This might turn out to be a tear jerker in more ways than one.
P.S. Peacock has too many ads!

Have to put that one on my list Karen.

I just watched the JFK, Jr 3 episode, on I think HBO. Thought it was good. Nothing I didnt already know tho. Sad affair! Such a difference - a good political family vs the trash we have to put up with now!!!!!
