Season 1 of HANNA was very good. Season 2 is excellent. A few (very few) plot holes, but the story roars right through them.

Stephen King

The show I've had the most pure fun with this summer is PARADOX (HULU). Maybe a plot hole here and there, but the central situation is intriguing, the pace is relentless, and the cast is winning.

Stephen King
Writer, Screenwriter
Really enjoying Season 2 of NOS4A2, especially Ashleigh Cummings as Vic and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as her father. These look like real people, not make-believe TV people. Vic's baggy shorts are perfect.

Based on Michael Connelly's best-selling novels, these are the stories of relentless LAPD homicide Detective Harry Bosch who pursues justice at all costs. But behind his tireless momentum is a man who is haunted by his past and struggles to remain loyal to his personal code: “Everybody counts or nobody counts.”
Stephen King
Writer, Screenwriter
There’s nothing better than BOSCH (Amazon Prime). The story is engrossing, the cast—led my Titus Welliver—is superb, and nobody is phoning it in. One of the best shows now on TV.

Better Call Saul

Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut. The series tracks Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer".
Stephen King
Writer, Screenwriter
The "Bagman" episode of BETTER CALL SAUL is one of the better 50 minutes of TV this quarantine year. Amazing trek through the desert. Most amazing thing? That Mike Ehrmantraut could make it so soon after being stabbed in the gut.

ZERO ZERO ZERO (Amazon): Hard to believe I will see anything this year that's better than this. Bone-shaking, chilling, terrifying, epic. Dane DeHaan and Andrea Riseborough are incandescent.

Stephen King

The 4th season of THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE is amazingly good. If you had told me 10 years ago that I could watch something as challenging and involving as this ON TELEVISION, I wouldn’t have believed you.

Marianne

When a novelist realizes her terrifying stories are coming true, she returns to her hometown to face the demons from her past that inspire her writing.
Stephen King
Writer, Screenwriter
If you're one of those sickos--like me--who enjoys being scared, MARIANNE (Netflix) will do the job. There are glints of humor that give it a STRANGER THINGS vibe. It also has (I say it with all due modesty) a Stephen King vibe.

To carry out the biggest heist in history, a mysterious man called The Professor recruits a band of eight robbers who have a single characteristic: none of them has anything to lose. Five months of seclusion - memorizing every step, every detail, every probability - culminate in eleven days locked up in the National Coinage and Stamp Factory of Spain, surrounded by police forces and with dozens of hostages in their power, to find out whether their suicide wager will lead to everything or nothing.
