the trailer makes it seem like Lumberjack Dexter just happened to end up in some crime ridden small town in bum fuck Idaho or something. What are the chances, huh?

I ended my Dexter run with the Lithgow season. Dexter coming home to Rita slain in the bath tub was the perfect ending for me.
Yeah Manifest started off good but lost me halfway through first season also ... Into the Night was short and tight.
Most series drag out very simple premises into waaaaay too many episodes. It's what I hate most about streaming series.
Last few great ones I saw were Mare of Easttown, Goliath (fucking rules), Zero Zero Zero (best shit since sliced bread)
Watching Fargo now ... season 1 is good and heard good things.

Haven't seen it but the writer of Zero Zero Zero wrote it ... Roberto Saviano
The guy is in police protection since he wrote the book

I super highly recommend Zerox3 ... slow burn but great story and characters.

1st six Dune books....bestest series ever. Only books I've read more than once
I hope the movie stays true to the books. I will be picking it apart.

Wheel of Time
I wanted to love this. Ive failed to read the books twice. However, watching season 1 may actually make me want to read the books. Not because the series is awesome (it's not), but because I can tell there is definitely a good story in there.
The series is basically Lord of the Rings for kids. Youve got your magic person, a non human, and a bunch of innocent kids that just wanted to live simple lives on a quest to defeat the Dark One. The Dark One has an army of Trollocks (orcs) and Fades (Nazgul). Different good guy armies are scattered throughout with loose alliances. Seriously, I kept waiting for Gandalf to pop in.
The kid actors all suck a fatty. They have no presence at all. The main chick and her Warder (guardian) must be exhausted from carrying this show. I kept hoping someone would decapitate of few of these kids.
WoT has potential, but it feels like Amazon didnt give them a good budget to work with. And Im sure theres a lot more to the story, and we just got the basic good/evil light/dark tiresome battle.
I will give season 2 a try, but man, if they want to finish the entire book series, they need to improve. A lot.

My sister had Wheel of Time books and I was hooked enough to read up to book 9 so they can't be too bad. But I stopped there and definitely don't need a TV series of it.
Most recently I watched 5 episodes of Game of Thrones. I'm purposefully watching only half a season per year for a bunch of reasons. Primarily because I prefer music and movies, and I know how time-consuming TV series can be. If I do watch TV at this point I'd rather see way out there shit such as Twin Peaks S3 or Black Mirror. Recommendations welcome...
About the only other TV I've watched this year is 2 Stupid Dogs (my favourite cartoon of all time but I didn't see all the episodes back in the day) and Love Death + Robots.
