What shows are you watching?

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special.... enjoyed it.... prob the best thing involving the sequel trilogy cast

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished the third and final season of Penny Dreadful. It was the weakest of the three seasons, and I'm not quite sure if it was a fitting end to the series as a whole; I felt rather underwhelmed by it.

I'm currently half-way through the fifth and final season of Hell on Wheels.

[Lock Jaw]

What a ripoff..... found out a channel here is airing the new Animaniacs.... but we only get the channel in SD here.... trying to see if I can find it online somewhere instead....

[drave]

Hulu? Its like $6 bucks. Shit - usually you can get a free trial. You can watch all of the new episodes and cancel during the free trial.

[Lock Jaw]

Hulu ain't available in Canada

I see Animaniacs is on Amazon Prime here via an additional subscription through it... but they only have 4 episodes up, guess they aren't releasing all at once.... will wait until they are all out and then get a free trial to that subscription....

[Destor]

i may have binged animaniacs



also i start fargo s4

[Seanny One Ball]

I'm holding off on Fargo until it's all available.
I hear it's a weaker season but that could mean it's still great. Earlier seasons have all been phenomenal.

Welllll that's fucked.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Finished the Queen's Gambit. Good stuff.

i watch 1 ep a day. i waiting to start it until i could do that with no gaps. finale will be on hulu tues or wed. ill finish the show after that

[Destor]

so far its far weaker than the previous 3 but its still good stuff

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion.... made me v emotional a few times.....

[Seanny One Ball]

Been eyeing that up myself.

Is the original Aunt Viv included?

[Lock Jaw]

Eventually

[Seanny One Ball]

Aunt Vivarium

[Fignuts]

Final season of clone wars was incredible. They should just make Star Wars TV shows from now on, because they've been some of the best content in the franchise.

They really put a lot into the budget too. At times you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a blockbuster theatrical film.

More pumped than ever now to see Ahsoka in the Mandalorian.

[Lock Jaw]

Haven't watched the final season yet.... finished up Rebels pretty much when Madalorian started... Then took a break to watch The Boys, and to also finish the book I was reading.... I'm still on season 2 of The Boys, haven't watched in awhile.... I should finish it before my free trial month ends actually.... which I don't actually know when that is so I should check.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Binge watched the last dance. Great stuff. Was a huge Jordan fan as a kid during his second run. It was cool getting to relive that but also hear the stories going on behind the scenes. It also just made me love Jordan more.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I finished the final season of Hell on Wheels. The first three seasons are the best, and then it kind of lost something in the final two, but remained watchable. Anson Mount and Colm Meaney were great throughout.

I think they did the character, The Swede, a disservice. He was such a great character in the early seasons, but the last couple of seasons and his end just weren't fitting for the man.

I'm going to move on to the fifth (and final?) season of The Magicians, and the fifth season of Arrow.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The Last Narc on Amazon was a really good doc that goes into detail about Kiki Camerena's death at the hands of the Mexican cartel and brings to light a conspiracy theory that the US knew about/was involved in his murder.

[Fignuts]

Watching The Vow on HBO.

Pretty fucked up.

[Frank Drebin]

Finished the Queen's Gambit. Good stuff.

Most overrated show/movie of 2020

[Supreme Olajuwon]

There’s a 30 Rock marathon on this weekend and I’ve been checking in every so often. Is this the rate the tv show thread? No? Ok.

30 Rock - 105%

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I don’t think I’d argue that 30 Rock is the greatest tv show ever, but I can’t think of anything that made me laugh as hard from episode 1 to the finale and lasted as long as it did.

Just an absolute joke machine.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched like 1 episode of that show ever

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

30 Rock was a fantastic show.

[Seanny One Ball]

30 Rock was a superior sitcom.
Highlights include Jason Sudeikis getting drunk on fish and Paul Reubens playing an inbred European prince.
My favourite episode is Gavin Velour because they wrung an 80's performance out of modern Steve Martin which is a task once believed impossible.

The joke writing g was extremely high level. Nearly up there with Arrested Development.

[Tb1]

Star Trek: The Next Generation

[Tb1]

I also watched Haunting of Bly Manor and the lesbian romance ravished me

[slik]

The Undoing on HBOMax

Really good so far, two more eps to go. All the acting is really good and I haven't figured out the murder mystery yet.


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Donald Sutherlands “cocksucker” monologue in The Undoing just went into my top 10 for all time greats. Just an absolutely unreal line.

Finale was good, whole series was good.

As it tends to, HBO delivers another great show.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Historia de un crimen: Colosio

Crime dramadetailing the assassination of former Mexico presidential candidate, Luis Donaldo Colosio, and the fallout, including Tijuana cops digging deeper believing it's a set up.

I needed to scratch my Narcos itch, and while this isn't quite that level, it's produced and acted with the same efforts and style. So far so good.

This is the great debate. Arrested Development was a shooting star shimmering through the sky for 3 legendary seasons of non stop comedy. But 30 Rock lasted for over a 100 more episodes and at its peak was just as funny.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Also Dr. Leo Spaceman

[Frank Drebin]

Always wanted a "Who Dat Bitch?" poster.

[rez]

Tonight Show. Holy shit, Keanu Reeves has cut his hair and facial hair down! Fuck you, Matrix!!!!!!!!!!!

[rez]

omgawddddddd. probably just preparing for a cyberpunk delay again

[rez]

Spoiler alert for the next Matrix. I'm guessing they filmed out of sequence and his being will be back as a robot plug in.

[Bad News Gertner]

New season of BattleBots starts tonight on Discovery. LOVE this show. Been a watcher since the Comedy Central days

[Kenny Powers]

Can't wait for Cobra Kai III! Will come in January. I finished watching all episodes and all seasons of Eastbound and Down a few weeks ago. That show is one of the most underrated shows of all-time. Hence, my handle name on here. I've also been watching the last few seasons of Law and Order SVU on You Tube. The new Saved by the Bell series has also piqued my interest.

[Kenny Powers]

I really enjoyed the first season of You. I thought the second was started off well but kind of tailed in the end. I don't think the girlfriend becoming a psycho in the 2nd season was a really good fit and seemed kind of like a 'rushed' storyline.

I didn't think Messiah was too bad. I wouldn't say I loved it, but I did enjoy it a fair amount.

I watched another series as well back in early 2020', but I can't remember now.

Been watching some old clips of Perfect Strangers on You Tube from the 80's and forgot just how good that show really was. People talk about the greatness of Balki (which he was), but Mark Lynn Baker was also exceptional on the show. He played the neurotic big city boy down to a tee. In many ways, Larry Appleton was George Costanza before George Costanza was George Costanza. ;).

Little known fact - Family Matters was technically a spin-off of Perfect Strangers. Harriete Winslow was first introduced in Perfect Strangers as being a part of Larry's Bowling team if I'm not mistaken.

[Seanny One Ball]

Always wanted a "Who Dat Bitch?" poster.


Tracy's movie posters and Frank's hats were always there for a solid background gag. I liked the sun-tea gag where it turned out to be jars of Frank's piss.

His relationship with older cleaning women was a real highlight.

[Lock Jaw]

Finally watched the last two episodes of The Boys S2... damn at that end

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Have you started The Shield yet?

[M-A-G]

I got back into re-watching The Pretender. It was one of those few shows I'd watch with both of my parents. It always upset me that there was never a proper conclusion.

[Good News Gertie]

Lost
Your Honour
The Flight Attendant (just finished. It was good but then a very weak season finale)
This May Destroy You

[Good News Gertie]

I also watched Haunting of Bly Manor and the lesbian romance ravished me

So good!

[GD]

I enjoyed that show a lot. Quite overwhelming towards the end.

[XL]

Lost
Your Honour
The Flight Attendant (just finished. It was good but then a very weak season finale)
This May Destroy You

Rewatch of Lost?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The Magicians season 5 (also its final season)
Arrow season 5
The Mandalorian season 2

I might watch Raised by Wolves, next, but I haven't really decided yet. I need to wait until the whole of season 5 of The Expanse is available before I can watch that, though I may re-watch season 4.

[Lock Jaw]

turned on the TV and HBO was showing a marathon of Curb Your Enthusiasm.... wasn't really intending to watch it, just put it on in the background.... but now several episodes later and I'm still watching it.....

[Damian Rey 2.0]

2 episodes in on season one of True Detective. Intrigued so far but I wish the pacing would pick up.

[Seanny One Ball]

It does

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The final season of Vikings has been released (in its entirety). The show is well past its prime, but I should see it to the end.

I've also been rewatching season 4 of the Expanse, whilst I wait for season 5 to be fully released.

[XL]

The Boys.

[Lock Jaw]

Just finished watching S7 of The Clone Wars..... damn..... want more of immediate Ahsoka/Rex follow-up.... screw this Bad Batch spin-off.... I'd even have taken a Martez Sisters spin-off instead.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Season 2 of True Detective. There's a lot of characters. Feel like it's harder to keep up. I like Colin Farrell as the unhinged cop wanting his loser kid back. But so far I'm a little lost.

[Lock Jaw]

Heard some positive things about Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, which had its S2 debut tonight...... so I went back and watched the S1 pilot episode of it... enjoyed it...

[Helmsphere]

Finishing up the chilling adventures of Sabrina.

I marked out for the Aunt's from the 90 sitcom showing up.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Finished S2 of True Detective. It wasn't bad. In fact, a lot of it was really good. But not collectively. As I feared, there was just way too many storylines and threads to keep up with. It took away from the central case, which, in and of itself, was maybe the least interesting part of the season because of the pay off.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I was kind of underwhelmed by the final season of Vikings; then again, whilst it was still watchable, the series had seen better days. The whole conclusion to the Rus storyline was blah, and you kind of wonder why they built it up in the first part of season 6; everything else felt rushed or somewhat out of place.

I recently finished (re)watching season 3 of Scrubs; that show was absolute gold. I don't think you would be able to get away with making the show, now, because at times it is politically incorrect by today's standards; hell, in one episode Zack Braff puts on blackface. I'm hoping Amazon will have the other seasons on sale soon (I was hoping they would during the Xmas break), as I really don't feel like paying £17.99 for a 15+ year old series.

I've started rewatching The Shield, as its on Amazon Prime now, and I need to watch season 3 of Stark Trek: Discovery. I've not read any reviews of the new ST: Discovery season, but my gut tells me it will be a shitshow. I still need to watch Raised by Wolves as well.

[rez]

History of Curse Words. It started out good....fuck.. shit..bitch

then dick and pussy. yawn. it needed cunt

[Seth82]

am re-watching The Office US.

almost finished with season 3. still as fun as I remembered it being.

[Lock Jaw]

Heard some positive things about Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, which had its S2 debut tonight...... so I went back and watched the S1 pilot episode of it... enjoyed it...

Finished S1

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Season 1 of Selena on Netflix is a let down. Selena is written and presented like a PR puff piece. Always smiling. Always happy and upbeat. Always saying the right thing. Other than the forbidden relationship with her band's guitarist, which is glossed over, ages presented as mostly flawless. It's a disservice to the person. And the actress doesn't bring the same energy as Jennifer Lopez did in the film.

Hopefully the second season, assuming there is one, picks up on the mountain of criticism this has gotten and fixes things.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

On to s3 of True Detective. Mahershala Ali is captivating.

[Jordan]

Blood - finished this recently. Must watch especially if you live in the UK. Fantastic two season family murder drama staring Adrian Dunbar. Irish show.

That lead me to...

Line of Duty - Also staring Adrian Dunbar. Probably my favorite policing show since The Wire. Just fucking incredible and each season is better than the next. It's about an anti curruption unit in the English Police. Cops busting bad coppers, I can't wait for season 6 in February.

The Detectorists - An incredibly funny and touching English show about two guys who search the grounds for gold and always end up with buttons and pull rings.

These are all available on Acorn TV.

[Destor]

rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the millionth time

[Lock Jaw]

Buffy has got a comic book "reboot" going on right now.... haven't read it and all I know about it is that apparently Xander got made into a vampire and is the "Big Bad"

[Destor]

the first comic run (season 8 and onward) were very good...reboot...eh

[Lock Jaw]

Dunno if I ever finished the season 9 comics...

[Destor]

i wish they had released the seasons in a hard back

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Finished True Detective S3. Huge upgrade over the second season. Much more satisfying conclusion and far better story. Having just one central character and a strong supporting cast as opposed to multiple central characters like S2 was a good change.

[M-A-G]

Finished both available episodes of WandaVision. I hope they're not all going to be just half an hour long.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I think WandaVision has 30 min episodes, whilst Loki and Falcon/Winter Soldier will have 45-50 min episodes.

[M-A-G]

Well, I'll take what I can get. It's been one hell of a Marvel drought.

[GD]

Watching the final season of "The Good Place."

[GD]

The last episode :(

[Good News Gertie]

Wayne
Servant season 2
Your Honour
Two Weeks to Live
Supermarket Sweep (w/Leslie Jones... I know it’s just commercials really but it is EXCITING)

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished season 3 of Star Trek Discovery. I thought it was the best season of Discovery so far (not saying much), and it is about time we saw some "future" Star Trek rather than films and series constantly going back before the TNG/DS9/Voyager-era.

They did try to foist some identity politics upon us (the whole pronouns/non-binary thing), but other than that, I enjoyed it; I look forward to season 4.

[rez]

Really disappointing end to Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

[ClockShot]

The Watch on BBC America.

[OssMan]

started watching catfish as research for the seth82 podcast and now just put it on when i want something in the background

[Seanny One Ball]

Mockumentary

[rez]

watching the shit outta Schitts Creek season 2 right now

[rez]

so good...so good i'd punch seanny one ball in the face for a new ep each time

[GD]

Started watching Cobra Kai.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've been rewatching The Shield; I'm now into season 4.

It is so good. It probably looks a bit dated to those that never watched it when the show was originally on, due to the flip-phones et al circa 2003, but it is still gritty and immersive.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Started Monarca on Netflix. Got thru 2 episodesand the interest is picking up. Love me some good old fashioned cartel dramas in Spanish.

[Good News Gertie]

Started On Becoming a God in Central Florida. Pretty good for what it is.

[Seanny One Ball]

so good...so good i'd punch seanny one ball in the face for a new ep each time



If you are watching that willingly then you are a huge retard

[Sepholio]

Just watched His Dark Materials. I like it. Didnt realize it was a reboot of The Golden Compass when I started but Ibalways thought they should have kept that series going so this is good.

[Seanny One Ball]

It's not a reboot of "The Golden Compass".
"The Golden Compass" is an unfaithful adaptation of one book in the trilogy known as "His Dark Materials".

[Seanny One Ball]

Watch "Resident Alien" it is full of Alan Tudyk being weird.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm coming to the end of my re-watch of The Shield; into the final few episodes and it is all coming apart for Vic and Shane. It was such a great show.

I am on to the final episode of season 5 The Expanse; it has been a much stronger showing this time round than season 4. I liked season 4, but it was smaller in scale and more interested in setting up the pieces for the current season rather than anything else.

I was thinking of pulling out my Deadwood boxsets and re-watching them before viewing the "film" that came out a couple of years ago.

[joshwoodsrohfandm]

Walker reboot although it's nowhere near what i expected. The Masked Dancer, spin-off of The real champion; Masked Singer. Also shows like Big Bang Theory. Family Matters on TV1 saved by the bell on E and IFC and other shows i can't remember.

[Seanny One Ball]

Remember when she tried to hug Jerry Seinfeld and he laughed in her face and said no?
That was very satisfying for me.

[GD]

He did not laugh in her face. He was unaware of who she was and did not want his boundaries to be violated like that :o

[Seanny One Ball]

Don't get so upset about it

[Supreme Olajuwon]

We’re now watching the Good Place and it’s pretty good! But I was told it was pretty great. But it’s not bad! And it might get better! Still in season 1 and definitely planning to watch more.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Managing expectations is always important

[Seanny One Ball]

I watched it a bit but it had hallmarks of a show that regresses rather than progresses.
I can't sign up for seasons of dithering around.

[GD]

Managing expectations is always important

Please update us after you're done watching the final episode <3

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished season 5 of The Expanse; enjoyed it as always, and I look forward to the final season at the end of this year/start of 2022.

I'm three episodes into the first season of The Outpost; it is naff, but I will continue to watch it because the lead woman is so ridiculously attractive. I have also watched the first two episodes of The Night Manager; it seems pretty decent for a BBC drama.

[rez]

We’re now watching the Good Place and it’s pretty good! But I was told it was pretty great. But it’s not bad! And it might get better! Still in season 1 and definitely planning to watch more.

I need to get back into watching it. I forget how many seasons I'm in to it.

[Good News Gertie]

Search Party
The Sinner (season 3)

[Good News Gertie]

We’re now watching the Good Place and it’s pretty good! But I was told it was pretty great. But it’s not bad! And it might get better! Still in season 1 and definitely planning to watch more.

I found the charm of the novelty/whimsy kinda wore off for me after season 1. :-\

[ClockShot]

Season 1 of The Watch wrapped up on BBC America. Not bad. Left things on a cliffhanger.

Think I'm going to jump into Netflix and start watching Lupin.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Finished season 1 of the Good Place. The spoiler was PrettyCool. Also the jokes are very funny. But something feels off about it. I dunno.

[GD]

Finished season 1 of the Good Place. The spoiler was PrettyCool. Also the jokes are very funny. But something feels off about it. I dunno.

That laugh was so maniacal...I fucking loved it.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished The Night Manager. I don't tend to like BBC dramas, but it was a solid "espionage" series. Tom Hiddleston's easy charm carries the series, along with good performances by Hugh Laurie and Olivia Coleman.

I have also finished the first season of The Outpost and I have started the second one. If you like fantasy-based programmes, I think you will like it; plus, the lead woman is a smokeshow. It feels a bit naff at first, but stick with it whilst it finds its footing.

I recently finished season 5 of my re-watch of Scrubs. I think this was the first season where there was a definite drop in quality, and a general sense of fatigue in the show. Perhaps it rebounds in season 6, but it is sometime since I watched that season. I'll probably save seasons 6-8 (season 9 can fuck off) for my 14-day self-isolation at the end of March, when I relocate for my new job.

[Seanny One Ball]

You are a boring old duffer

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Unashamedly so.

[OssMan]

Going through Malcolm in the Middle... really fucking funny

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

A TV channel over here in the UK has been reshowing Malcolm in the Middle; I'd forgotten how good it was, particularly the early seasons.

[Seanny One Ball]

Frankie Muniz doesn't remember any of it, he runs an olive oil store now.

[mitchables]

i was really reluctant to get another streaming service but a friend of mine kept going on about ted lasso so i took the plunge and i gotta say, it was worth. great show, binged the heck out of it

so while i was at it i also churned through mythic quest, which was also excellent, and am currently making my way through central park, which is a good time but for sure more niche in appeal than the other shows. but i like me a good musical comedy so i am on board

otherwise, wandavision is the weekly appointment atm. been catching up on barry also, as i fell behind a bit

all of these shows are Very Good^TM

[Seanny One Ball]

Ted Lasso is a lovely sitcom that warms my heart.
Well done Mitch, you have gone up in my estimations.

Only good people love Ted Lasso.

[mitchables]

seanny it's so pure and wholesome, and i loved it so much more than i was expecting to. absolutely delightful "program", as i am not sure whether they still say in the UK

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm half-way through the first season of Raised by Wolves; a superior sci-fi series. Check it out. The only person I recognize in it is the chap who played Ragnar Lodbrok in Vikings.

[Seanny One Ball]

It sounded good but I never got round to looking for it.
May hunt later on.

[Seanny One Ball]

Deep into "The Shield" now.
Already into season 2 and the Arab hatred is palpable.

[Seanny One Ball]

There is only one badly played character in this show and it's Vic's wife.
Her acting is atrocious. Genuinely bad.

[Seanny One Ball]

Vic walking into a hospital waiting room with his jacket zipped up to cover his bullet in the guts from his children after not seeing them for months...that is fucking high level.
You can't fuck with Vic.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

You're welcome. :cool:

[Seanny One Ball]

It is a very well paced show. The dialogue is hokey as shit and the acting can be a bit gamey but overall it hits the emotional spots so perfectly that you have to give it credit.

The dialogue is so on the nose that it becomes an exercise at times but it is good.

[Seth82]

am nearly finished watching the 1990s version of Pride and Prejudice. It recently reaired on PBS awhile back.

this is the one with Colin Firth.

pretty great miniseries so far. 8/10.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished the first season of Raised by Wolves. If you like sci-fi with a trippy edge to it, you'll like it a lot.

I'm going to have to go back to watching the second season of The Outpost, which is going to feel rather inadequate in comparison.

[Seanny One Ball]

Hmmmm...

Turns out the one bad actor in The Shield is married to the show's fucking creator.
What an arsehole, she is awful.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I think I may have suggested this to you before, but just in case I haven't, I think you'd like the 1980s TV adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, with Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews. I watch that series once a year; I'm about due to watch it again.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Finished season 2 of the Good Place which was fine. Starting season 3. Maya Rudolph! Always a treat. Still just ok with this show though.

[GD]

The Good Place was such a good show :(

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I don’t dislike it. If I wasn’t into it I’d stop watching.

[Seanny One Ball]

LOL @ Brideshead Revisited

El Vaq is Super Hans

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Brideshead is some quality television, even though it is 40 years old.

[Black Widow]

Happy on Netflix.

Halfway through the 1st season enjoying it more than i thought.

[SammyG]

Was basic and watched Schitt's Creek with the lady. Was honestly really, really good. Bout to start Cobra Kai, late to the party.


Also watching Young Rock.

[Seanny One Ball]

Schitts Creek looks fucking terrible.

BUT

O'Hara and Levy know what's up comedically.
Shame they included other actors really.

[rez]

you're cray cray. Levy's real life son and the daughter are great. The breakout star is the chick that plays Stevie. PLUS Chris Elliot.

[Lock Jaw]

How "woke" is Schitt's Creek....

[rez]

How "woke" is Schitt's Creek....

There's a gay couple. is that "woke" ?

[Lock Jaw]

Depends on if they shove it in your face how "woke" and "progressive" they are, or if it "just is".

[Seanny One Ball]

There's nothing progressive about Jewish Hollywood nepotism.

[Seanny One Ball]

Vic Mackey's wife is ruining every scene she is in FFS.

The single worst actress in history.
Well done.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Stick with it, lad.

[Seanny One Ball]

Why even say that when I'm clearly still watching it?
You presumably just sat there enjoying her atrocious performance.

[Seanny One Ball]

Walton Goggins has also been poor in this.
The broad he knocks up is shit too.

It isn't full of great performances, it's relying on a handful.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I just finished season 2 of The Outpost; on the one hand it is kind of naff, but on the other hand it is entertaining. I'll watch season 3 once it is available on Prime.

I'm currently on the first season of S.W.A.T., which I think was previously a tv show in the 1970s and later a film with Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell. This version has been adapted by Shawn Ryan (The Shield). I'm about 7 episodes in and it is cheesy and a bit preachy, but I'm hoping it is going to settle down and be a solid show.

I feel like I'm about ready to move on to a different streaming service for a while, either Netflix again or perhaps try Disney+. I've pretty much watched all the quality tv shows that Prime has to offer.

[Seanny One Ball]

Shawn Ryan is a complete hack.

I'm still watching The Shield but mostly out of a sense of duty.
Season 4 is a massive drop in quality.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

It picks up again in Season 5 with the introduction of Lt. Kavanaugh (Forrest Whittaker), but it also sees an increase in the screen time of Mackey's wife.

[Seanny One Ball]

There's good stuff from Anthony Anderson here but it's lost in the mire.
Glenn Close is oddly out of her depth in this format.
Goggins just isn't Goggins in this at all.

[Seanny One Ball]

Vic's daughter is actually so bad that it worries me they didn't make her the autistic one. That is truly baffling.

Vic's wife hasn't annoyed me since I started skipping her scenes.
Her face is awful though.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Recently started Ray Donovan. Love it so far. Finishing up season 1 tonight.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Ray Donovan is a solid show; I think I've only seen seasons 1-3.

[Seanny One Ball]

Season 5 of The Shield is back to being brilliant.
Vic's wife seems to be not as bad now. Maybe someone figured out her range.
Forest Whitaker bringing some serious chops to the table... Fucking quality gig.

[Seanny One Ball]

The actor that played Julien is in prison for 40 years to life for shooting his wife dead.

Didn't expect that!

This guy from The 40-Year Old Virgin is serving a life sentence for attempted murder.

I am watching WWE RAW on the USA Network on Monday Nights

[Seanny One Ball]

This guy from The 40-Year Old Virgin is serving a life sentence for attempted murder.

https://www.hecklerspray.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/shelley.jpg



Yeah we've been through this before.
I thought it was a different Injun.

[Seanny One Ball]

Halfsack from SOA still the top contender for post-fame breakdowns

[GD]

Yeah we've been through this before.
I thought it was a different Injun.

Where? Was this just an excuse to crack a cheap one?

[GD]

I'm currently watching the first season of Mindhunter on Netflix. Quality show.

[Seanny One Ball]

Where? Was this just an excuse to crack a cheap one?


No we definitely talked about this before.
I will try and find it

[Seanny One Ball]

The number of actors in 40 year old Virgin who went on to be bigger stars is crazy

Yeah man! The Indian dude is serving a life sentence for attempted murder. Crazy.

Yeah that was a fun Google. I remember reading that and thinking if that guy could do that then there's nobody left to trust.

Also it's not the little old Indian dude from The Terminal. It's not the fuck a goat guy.

Ah crap, it was a different Indian in The Terminal.

I must be racist.

[GD]

Holy shit! We did :lol:

[GD]

Completed the first season of Mindhunter. It was something else.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished season 2 of SWAT; man, the show is so preachy with its moralising and social justice, but it is very watchable.

I've also finished The Looming Tower, which is a mini-series drama revolving around the interagency distrust and conflict between the CIA and the FBI, and how it led to 9/11. A very good programme; check it out.

[Seanny One Ball]

Nearly finished The Shield.
It is a vastly overrated show, but it certainly isn't bad.

[Good News Gertie]

Watching City on a Hill

It’s Kevin Bacon with a 90s haircut and cop stache being crooked with the booger sugar in Massachusetts. It’s pretty bad/good.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I finished my rewatch of Scrubs (minus season 9 - that season does not exist, as far as I'm concerned). Season 6 was a bit iffy, but seasons 7-8 were solid, though nowhere near as good as seasons 1-3.

I'm going to give Parks and Recreation a try, though I've read the first season is rather naff.

[Seanny One Ball]

Parks And Recreation is a great show.
I actually quite like season 1 for a couple of great moments like the dog poo fight and Leslie's haircut. That being said it really is a better show from season two onwards.
I would say it veers into self satire by the end and the peak is probably seasons 2&3 but on the whole it is one of the better comedies of the last decade or two.

Ron Swanson is top class, as is Jean Ralphio and his sister.

[Seanny One Ball]

Also the last episode is very well done.
A good example for great finales.

[Seanny One Ball]

The greatest sitcom ending ever is easily "Still Game".
For a broad show that was never afraid to pander, it came up with the most beautiful ending I think could ever be done.
Wonderful.

[Reacher]

Law and Order SVU.

I watched Eastbound and Down last year and will probably start watching “The People vs OJ Simpson” for my next project.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished watching the 1980s mini-series, The Far Pavilions, which is based on the book of the same name. It is an "epic romance" set during the British Raj.

To say it is a naff 80s tv series, it was rather watchable, with a big budget for the period and set on location in India. I was surprised to see that even in the 1980s actors were still being "browned-up"; Christopher Lee and other white actors playing the main Indian characters.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Finished The Good Place. Dave, don’t read below.


It was fine. The characters were lovely. But for a show about the eternal conflict between good and evil, and the existential crisis of human existence, it seemed very low stakes.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Starting Schitts Creek now

[Seanny One Ball]

Where the stakes are even lower

[Seanny One Ball]

Do a show where Larry The Cable Guy gets to make fun of the LGBTQ community, it's only fair.

There is no "our word" in LGBTQ.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

So far Schitt’s Creek is, “what if Arrested Development, but Canadian?”

Enjoying it

[GD]

Revisiting Netflix's DareDevil with my brother.

[GD]

Finished The Good Place. Dave, don’t read below.


It was fine. The characters were lovely. But for a show about the eternal conflict between good and evil, and the existential crisis of human existence, it seemed very low stakes.

That's okay. It did feel non consequential at times. I do remember having a strong reaction to the ending.

[Fignuts]

Watching the last season of Channel Zero. Fucking criminal that this got canceled but shitty American horror story is still going, 9 seasons strong.

[Seanny One Ball]

[OssMan]

I finished my rewatch of Scrubs (minus season 9 - that season does not exist, as far as I'm concerned). Season 6 was a bit iffy, but seasons 7-8 were solid, though nowhere near as good as seasons 1-3.

I'm going to give Parks and Recreation a try, though I've read the first season is rather naff.

I watched Scrubs throughout growing up, when I got around to the Season 8 it was on Netflix and I watched it thinking the real final season was Season 9, so I watched the finale all confused about why they were making a big deal about goodbyes and stuff if there's a whole other season afterwards. Then once I started Season 9 I nearly puked

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Yeah, season 9 somewhat ruins the show's legacy.

I've watched season 1 of Parks and Recreation and I'm coming to the end of the second season. I'm enjoying the show; it started to find its feet at the end of the first season, and has carried on strong since. It has a charm to it that I find very appealing (not just Rashida Jones).

As Seanny mentioned, the chap that plays Ron Swanson is great.

I've watched the first couple of episodes of the sci-fi show, Haven; I'm undecided yet whether I will continue with it.

I'm going to start Falcon and the Winter Soldier, tomorrow, now that most of the show is available.

[OssMan]

Never did bother to check out Parks and Rec, it feels like it was created in the wake of The Office and attempted to recreate the workplace mockumentary idea. Which is fine I guess, just didn't want to shift my allegiances over from one show to the other

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, never checked out Parks and Rec either for the same reason.... felt I already had one wokplace mockumentary in my life....

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I was late to Parks and Rec for the same reason but I eventually got there and was glad I did.

A very pleasant show.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, I hear nothing but good things about it

[Lock Jaw]

Finally started to watch Daredevil Season 3...... "lol" at this angle of "we can't trust FBI agents who are in financial crisis because they can be bought"-"Well, can I have a raise?"-"No."

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm currently half-way through season 5 of Parks & Recreation. I think as Seanny said, seasons 2 and 3 are the golden years; season 4 was solid but it does feel like the series is running out of steam now. Even Ron Swanson is not as iconic as he once were.

I've watched season 1 of Yellowstone and I'm a couple of episodes into season 2. If it did not keep descending into melodrama a la Brothers and Sisters or Nashville, it would be a pretty great show; but it is rather watchable, as a result of all the scenery porn.

[Fignuts]

Sweet Home

Korean show about a zombie apocalypse, except instead of zombies, people turn into weird monsters. Pretty good but omg stop using Warriors by Imagine Dragons for literally every heroic scene.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I pretty much binge-watched seasons 2 and 3 of Yellowstone at the weekend. It is kinda naff, but I enjoyed watching it, partly because of the scenery porn. Bring on season 4!

I have now moved on to season 2 of Billions. Like Yellowstone, it is full of characters that live firmly in the grey-area and are not particularly likeable individuals.

I'm into season 6 of Parks & Recreation, and I feel like I'm only watching it out of habit or out of the need to see it through to the end at this point. I don't dislike it; it still has the charm that drew you in in seasons 1-3, but the magic is now gone.

[OssMan]

Been watching "The Leftovers" which is not about food

Could immediately tell it was written by the guy from Lost... just a load of insane questions immediately and no hope of them being answered for ages. Although they do answer some of the big 1s... which is different from Lost

This show is pretty psycho but it's pretty good... the music seems very "pre-Trump"... there was one episode where they kept playing versions of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" which I thought was funny and versions of Pixies "Where is My Mind" plays throughout season 2 which I understand why but come on. The intro to season 2 was a song I like by Iris Dement though which was kool

Really h8 when you can't tell if someone's hallucinating in a show... annoying

About to start the final season now, let's see if they answer the big questions

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I bought the first series of The Leftovers a couple of years ago and I still haven't gotten round to it yet.

[Lock Jaw]

Someone around here really loved it.... forget who...

[Destor]

me. its outstanding

[Sepholio]

I also loved it. It's probably in my top 10 series ever. Probably gonna watch it again when I finish my Stargate Atlantis binge.

[Destor]

ive watched it 2 or 3 times. always holds up. season 1 remains a drag. builds too slow. but once the show realizes its going to have a short run it really delivers

[Seanny One Ball]

Is there an actual conclusion to it though?

[OssMan]

Season 3 starts with a bunch of stuff Season 2 should have ended with

[Destor]

Is there an actual conclusion to it though?Absolutely.

[GD]

I watching "Invincible" on Prime after completing Mindhunter. Both were excellent.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm on to season 4 of Billions at the moment. Now that Paul Giamatti's and Damien Lewis' characters aren't going after one another, the show seems to have lost its bite, but we'll see if it recovers.

I haven't watched Parks & Recreation in about a week; I need to finish it.

[Lock Jaw]

Finally started to watch Daredevil Season 3...... "lol" at this angle of "we can't trust FBI agents who are in financial crisis because they can be bought"-"Well, can I have a raise?"-"No."

Finally finished it.... put off the last episode for the same reason I put off the entire season for years..... because now I'm all "Damn, there's no more"

[GD]

@LockJaw Are you planning to watch Invincible?

Started watching the first season of Schitt's Creek. It's a bit off that the characters are "nice" even though they're suppose to be selfish. It's probably because they're Canadian.

[Lock Jaw]

Please view the "Invincible" thread for my response to that question

[GD]

Please view the "Invincible" thread for my response to that question

Will do. Haven't explored the "entertainment form" yet :y:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

So far Schitt’s Creek is, “what if Arrested Development, but Canadian?”

Enjoying it

Into season 2 and this is still accurate.

Liking it.

[Fignuts]

Binged the new season of castlevania today. So good. Absolutely amazing fight scenes.

[Sepholio]

Almost done binging the 17 seasons of stargate. One more season to go. Really hope the rumors of a new series end up being true.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

It's been awhile since I watched any of the Stargate series; but the stories are still fresh in my memory, so no need at the mo.

[Lock Jaw]

Were there really 17 seasons of that show? Damn.....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

If you include SG: Atlantis and SG: Universe, it comes to something like that.

[Lock Jaw]

Ohhhhhh

I remember enjoying the movie well enough as a kid. Never watched a single episode of the show.

[OssMan]

Watched a couple episodes of schitt's creek. Some funny parts

[Lock Jaw]

Season 2 of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist done.... not as good as season 1 I think.... still hope it gets renewed....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm coming to the end of the first season of Big Love. I'm not particularly grabbed by it, but I'll watch season 2 to see if it develops further.

I seem to have abandoned Parks and Recreation; I've watched the first two episodes of season 6, but haven't bothered to watch anymore.

[Destor]

Season 2 of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist done.... not as good as season 1 I think.... still hope it gets renewed....
once peacock hits fire tv imma be all over that

[Fignuts]

New season of Love Death and Robots. Very good so far.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Finished Ray Donovan. Didn’t know it had been cancelled, which was initially crappy to find out. Then I saw they’re going to wrap the series up with a feature length film and that made me happy.

I’m now watching Me. Mercedes with Brendan Gleeson and I like it. It’s a slow burn but I enjoy it and am on to season 2.

[Destor]

i dont know why "slow burn" has a negative connotation. it shouldn't. like anything its all in execution. its neutral.

[Seanny One Ball]

It doesn't generally have a negative connotation.
He just gave it one by saying "but I enjoy it".

[Destor]

people always follow slow burn with a but

[Destor]

like it needs defending

[Seanny One Ball]

I think you just hang around with fast and loose TV viewers.

Showsluts.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I personally love a slow burn. Builds tension and anticipation. Season 2 of Mr Mercedes has the same pacing but a little more supernatural vibe in how they’re playing out the season.

[OssMan]

Finished that show the leftovers. I would have liked if it ended a little quicker. Feeling like maybe there was some payoff, a little. I will no longer be watching shows by "Damon Lindelof" where half the time you can't tell if someone is hallucinating, having a dream, in a flashback, or is in the afterlife. Just not interesting any more after LOST and this show

I think it's funny that some of the actors in this show had probably some of the most difficult acting jobs ever, just being in really intense situations and like submerged in water all the time, while other actors who played main characters had it incredibly easy because they spent most of their screen time being completely silent and maybe writing a line or two down on a piece of paper.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

On to season 3 of Mr Mercedes which introduces an entirely new threat for the cast to take on. The show was cancelled after this season so m I’m hoping this ends on a high note. I have to commend the show for not going ridiculously over the top or packing everything they can into the season finales. They keep with the slow build and hold their pace all the way to the end and swerve you by not going with main character Brendan Gleeson getting the last laugh against the antagonist.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've watched seasons 1 to 3 of Big Love (out of 5) and I've liked it, though I've not been engrossed in it as I feel I should be. I might give it a rest for a while and I'm probably going to watch Medici: Masters of Florence. I saw the first season 2-3 years ago, but I don't think I've see the other two.

[Lock Jaw]

About to start Lucifer season 5B

[Lock Jaw]

Dennis Haysbert's voice very soothing and relaxing....

[Lock Jaw]

Watched 3 episodes today... I think I'm starting to like Disney+ method of releasing an episode a week.... clearly designed to get you to keep the subscription, but with Netflix and it all dumping at once, feel like it goes to quick and before you know it the enjoyment of the show is over.... Yeah, I could limit myself to one a week, but I'm not going to because I don't have that restraint....

[Destor]

i watch 1 ep a day personally

[GD]

Just learned that Schitt Creek’s Moira was the mom in Home Alone.

[Lock Jaw]

Catherine O'Hara.... she is rather famous, you know

[GD]

Catherine O'Hara.... she is rather famous, you know

I'm not originally from your part of the world, you know.

[Lock Jaw]

I guess I don't know when you moved to the USofA, so I guess that's fair....

[Seanny One Ball]

Catherine O’Hara is one of the few funny women

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched the finale of Lucifer.... last two episodes got to me...... damn....

[GD]

I guess I don't know when you moved to the USofA, so I guess that's fair....

I didn't see her name in the curriculum.

[Seanny One Ball]

It probably should be.

She’s one of the good ones.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Binged through the three seasons of Medici. An entertaining, if slight show; kind of in the same vein as The Tudors, with less sex and nudity.

I'm trying to decide whether to watch Nip/Tuck or the From Dusk Till Dawn series next. I've decided to leave Big Love; three seasons is enough of that show.

I could do with watching more of the Star Wars: Clone Wars series; I think I've only seen the first season.

[slik]

I never got around to watching Wandavision or Falcon/Solider bc they didn't seem like things I had to watch to understand the happenings of the MCU but I did watch the first episode of Loki. Good production design, interesting enough so far to watch episode 2 when it's available.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Wandavision and Falcon & the Winter Soldier are both entertaining shows; if you like MCU in general, they are worth watching.

[mitchables]

I never got around to watching Wandavision or Falcon/Solider bc they didn't seem like things I had to watch to understand the happenings of the MCU but I did watch the first episode of Loki. Good production design, interesting enough so far to watch episode 2 when it's available.

falcon and winter soldier was good but effectively just par-for-the-course MCUism. "six-hour movie", as many others have said

main takeaway from that show is that sam is captain america now, the government's initial replacement captain america is now working for the contessa/madame hydra (whatever she'll be in the MCU) and bucky has worked out his winter soldier grief

zemo is also there and he is wonderful

wandavision will 100% have a bigger impact on the framework of the MCU, in tandem with loki's layout of the multiversal war/sacred timeline business

feels like wanda will cause a nexus event or something in doctor strange 2 as she tries to deal with the events of her series

anyway wandavision is excellent. absolutely worth it

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched the first episode of Loki.... nice "production design" but feels like maybe it will be the most "unnecessary" and "unimportant" of the shows..... but maybe it will prove me wrong. Only been 1 episode.

[mitchables]

idk, feels like the whole backstory about the multiversal war, nexus events etc will pretty directly tie into doctor strange 2 and/or spider-man 3

could be setting myself up for mephisto-esque disappointment though i guess

was also pretty dispiriting to find out the infinity stones are a) abundant and b) cosmically pathetic

[Lock Jaw]

Damn.... Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist canceled after two seasons....
