Fewer series in your list? We’re thinking about it…
This one falls squarely into the category of: “not fun to announce, but maybe necessary.” We’re considering placing a limit of 10 to 15 series in the “What to watch” list for free accounts. Yup. Let that sink in for a moment.

The most popular series of the week – Which one will you binge?
Ah, Friday! Time to review last week’s most-watched series on MySeries.
Reviews
The Serpent Queen - Season 2
With The Serpent Queen, you don't need fantasy.
The Sandman - Season 2
Season two of The Sandman isn't perfect, but it does give the series a fitting finale.
Ironheart - Season 1
Ironheart is a decent Marvel series that lacks a bit of heart. It's not exactly surprising, but it's entertaining and lays the groundwork for a potentially interesting future.
Long Way Home - Season 1
Our two friends from Long Way Home are on the road again. This time they're choosing a less adventurous route, but they still have plenty to experience along the way.
Genombrottet - Miniseries
Genombrotter is a powerfully acted miniseries about one of the largest Swedish crime investigations ever. It's one you won't easily put down.
