What shows are you watching?

[Seanny One Ball]

They keep cancelling Jane Levy sitcoms even though people love them

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Started the Mare of Easttown last night. Lovely little pot boiler lead by Kate Winslet. Guy Pearce and Evan Peters co star. Can’t go wrong with Guy Pearce.

[Bad News Gertner]

I started watching Boardwalk Empire a couple days ago. I stopped watching midway through Season 3 when it was on. Decided to begin at the start of Season 3. I forgot how great this show was. I don't know why I stopped in the first place.

[Lock Jaw]

Season 3 was awesome.... never finished the show though... stopped a few episodes into season 4 and I also don't know why.... maybe because season 3 was so great I was just like "it's done"

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm on to season 4 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

To say it is an animated series, therefore I assume it is/was aimed at kids, it is a surprisingly dark show, and also superior to any of the live-action films (save Rogue One) of recent times.

I'm also around 3 episodes into Nip/Tuck; it is decent enough so far for me to stick with it and see how it develops.

I'm waiting until all the Loki episodes are out before I watch that bad boy.

[Lock Jaw]

I liked the Clone Wars/Godzilla story arc....

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Finished season 1 and now on to season 2 of The Alienest with Daniel Bruhl and Luke Evans. Very much a fan so far.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Nobody told me I'd see Sophia Bush and Kata Mara snogging on Nip/Tuck; shame on y'all for not telling me! It was a beautiful surprise, though.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Finished season 2 of the alienist. Loved it. Not quite as strong as the first season, but fun nonetheless. The focus shifted more to Dakota Fanning leading the charge and it was a welcome change.

Onto my next show, Perry Mason.

[Seanny One Ball]

Mythic Quest is funny.

Good name gag with Ian Grimm...
Eye-an...

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The more I watch Star War: Clone Wars, the more I think Darth Maul would have made a great big bad for the prequel trilogy, instead of going with the shite they did.

[Seanny One Ball]

Star Wars will never be any good

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

If you haven't already, check out Clone Wars; the later seasons (3 and onwards) are so good.

[Black Widow]

Big Shots enjoyed it more than i expected plus Stamos is still hot.

[Seanny One Ball]

Mythic Quest is easily the funniest original show on any streaming service right now.
It’s brilliantly paced so that by the end of season one you love the characters so much that the specials give you a perfect exhale.
Season 2 begins like any superior comedy should, with minor changes!

Anyone who wants to see a polished piece of woke-bait will enjoy it for its use of Rob McElhenney. A master stroke.

[Zeeboe]

I watch Black Hebrew Israelites on YouTube. They’re the only ones who tell the truth.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Finished Perry Mason. Good stuff with a great cast.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Just finished Star Wars: Clone Wars. The final four episodes of season 7 are so awesome. If everything in the Star War Universe was like those episodes, it would be so damn epic.

I feel I should rewatch the prequel trilogy, but I know I'll only be disappointed, especially once I to the cringe that is the Anakin/Padme scenes in Episode 2.

I think a series on the criminal underworld of the SW universe would be pretty interesting; I don't know if they are going to touch on that with The Book of Boba Fett, but a series on Darth Maul as a crime lord would be great. I think they would have gone down that root if Solo had been successful, but we'll never know.

I'm going to move on to Star Wars: Rebels, though I may give myself a break for awhile. I'm still in the early stages of season 2 of Nip/Tuck, and I'm going to start the final season of Bosch tomorrow.

[Lock Jaw]

I rewatched the prequels after Clone Wars. It did not get better.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Bosch final season, bay bay

[xrodmuc316]

Right now, Parks & Rec.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Seasons 2 and 3 of Parks & Recreation are gold.

Finished the final season of Bosch. As always, the episodes just fly by, but the series finale kind of went out with a fizzle rather than a bang. But, otherwise, an all round classy show that people should check out.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Never done a full watch through of King of the Hill so doing that now. Halfway through season 1.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Found myself watching clips of Buffy earlier today; damn, it is still good stuff 20+ years on. Granted, it seems to have been confirmed as of late that Joss Whedon is a piece of shit, but there is no denying how good the Buff was back in the day. I think I'll be re-watching that show.

I'm going back to the early 90s tonight and I'm going to start a re-watch of the Sharpe series.

[Seanny One Ball]

Never done a full watch through of King of the Hill so doing that now. Halfway through season 1.


Seasons 1-5 are pretty much perfect. Then they lose consistency but retain most of the appeal. Enjoyable but not vital.

[Savio]

Latest episode of rick and morty was awful

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I’m on the 5th episode of Season 2 of King of the Hill and I am amazed at how many crimes Hank Hill has already committed. Assault, menacing, vandalism, drug possession, curfew violation, trespassing, providing a minor with cigarettes, harming an endangered species, threatening a child protective services worker. This guy is a clear danger to society.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Man this show creates such incredible single episode antagonists that I just want murder as hard as I can. Cane Skretteburg and Junie Harper are basically Hitler and Eva Braun.

[Tom Guycott]

Just started the new Leverage. One episode in, and it almost feels like the gang never left. Even writing around the elephant in the room absence of Nate was handled as a charming plot point (as opposed to a heavy handed "Timothy Hutton? Never heard of him" manner). About my only complaint thus far is Noah Wyle's on-again, off-again Louisiana accent. But it's a very small thing. We'll see how the rest of it goes.

[Seanny One Ball]

Man this show creates such incredible single episode antagonists that I just want murder as hard as I can. Cane Skretteburg and Junie Harper are basically Hitler and Eva Braun.


Mike Judge is gifted at creating pathos in the midst of tremendous silliness.
He’s actually a genius. I know people overuse the word but Mike Judge definitely is.

[Seanny One Ball]

Have you had the episode where Hank has to entertain a crazy Yankee fellow at his bosses behest and the guy dresses up as a cowboy and riffs on the Dallas theme tune?

That’s just perfect comedy.

[Seanny One Ball]

Peggy’s foot fetish episode is one of the best early ones too.

Honestly I’ve seen the first 5 seasons so many times but it’s exceptional stuff and I quote it often.

Be Ay Be
Be Ay Bo
Be Ay Be Bicky Bi Bo

[xrodmuc316]

KOTH is amazing!

Watched Dr Death on Peacock, was CRAZY that shit actually happened!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Finished all three seasons of Yellowstone. I’ma sucker for westerns. And while season 1 was solid, seasons 2 and 3 have been stellar. Can’t wait for season 4 in the fall.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

There is some serious scenery porn in that series; I too am looking forward to season 4.

[ClockShot]

Finished Vincenzo on Netflix last night.

South Korea continuing to put out some solid Television.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished watching Loki; watch it, if you haven't.

I've finished rewatching season 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and now moving on to season 2. I always forget how great the script was on the show and the chemistry between the leads. I also forgot just how ridiculously cute Sarah Michelle Gellar was back in the late 90s; and also my love for Robia LaMorte (now Robia Scott). Damn.

[Blonde Moment]

Just finished Babylon 5 and am thinking on pulling out my 6 million dollar man collection, Hogan's Hero's or Tracking down a cheap copy of Space 1999

[Damian Rey 2.0]

There is some serious scenery porn in that series; I too am looking forward to season 4.

Yeah the views are gorgeous. Makes me wanna travel.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Have you had the episode where Hank has to entertain a crazy Yankee fellow at his bosses behest and the guy dresses up as a cowboy and riffs on the Dallas theme tune?

That’s just perfect comedy.

Yes I enjoyed that one. Honestly I’ve enjoyed all of them so far. Almost done with season 2.

I never truly appreciated this show when it first came out. I think now that I’m older I can see what I was missing the first time.

[drave]

Leverage: Redemption




Just learned this is a thing! Love this damn show. DAMNIT HARDISON!!

[Lock Jaw]

Just finished watching The Flash S7.... lol at it culminating in a lightsaber duel (and not in a way that was supposed to be funny... just a super serious moment of speedsters suddenly fighting each other with lightsabers and Barry suddenly being a good swordsman).

This show should probably just end, especially with losing like half its cast and replacing them with uninteresting characters.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished season 2 of Buffy; so fucking good! On to season 3.

I (re)watched season 2 of Sharpe this weekend. By modern standards, the production is small scale and a bit dated, but it is still a quality show, 25+ years on. The intro music gets me every time.

[slik]

White Lotus on HBO Max

very very funny and twisted -- Steve Zahn and Jennifer Coolidge should get Emmy noms for it IMO

[Supreme Olajuwon]

In the most recent episode, Hank beats up a retarded fellow. And thats the denouement of the story.

This show is wild.

[Seanny One Ball]

Southern justice baby

[Tom Guycott]

Leverage: Redemption




Just learned this is a thing! Love this damn show. DAMNIT HARDISON!!

My only nitpick is Noah's sometimey southern accent. He's a better actor than that, c'mon man!

Also sucks that Timothy Hutton got Me Too'd. Great he's cleared of the alligation, but way too late to get back in on this, but that was written around and even adds a major plot driving device.

Here's hoping Sterling makes an appearance.

Also, Elliot apparently has a type: dark, dusky women of dubious ethnicity who can potentially kick his ass/kill him.

[Tom Guycott]

So, I just watched Masters of the Universe: Revolations and have zero idea why a bunch of manbabies exploded mounds of vitriol all over this. I rather enjoyed it, and look foward to the rest of it (since it is only chapter 1, after all). The way it's written seems akin to the Transformers miniseries(es..? More than one) that filled the gap between the Cybertonian Wars and The Autobots crash landing on Earth in The Ark at the beginning of the 80s cartoon.

The only thing I'm unclear on is if in this canon, the 2002 series is also included or not. There is nothing specifically contradictory outside of King Grayskull being a black dude in this one, but he's even DRESSED the same as his appearance in 2002. I mean, Kev went out the way to have Skeletor specifically drop some Langella lines from the Live Action movie, but that was more easter egg than trying to world build. I just want to know if this is going to take a hard left turn and re-establish The Snake Men or something.

I will say, though, the casting is a complete **chef's kiss** and you couldn't have cast a more appropriate Evil-Lyn.

Also, there's a body count here. Like, on the level of Transformers:The Movie, so there's another comparison I just made to one of other big 80s toy franchises that ruled weekday afternoons (or Saturday morning depending where you lived).

Also, in the back of my mind, I wonder if this is going to end up tying into She-Ra. Especially with this whole concept of a "champion".

At any rate, I like it, and I don't get why dudes are blowing a gasket over it. Strikes me as the same people who are butthurt over The Cleveland Guardians.

[Lock Jaw]

Just finished watching Season 1 of Stargirl..... My cable box died when it was airing and I lost the last half of it..... then subsequently forgot it existed until seeing recent promos for the impending second season.....

Really enjoyed it....

Wish they hadn't killed off Brainwave Jr. though.... he got the short stick in the comics and an even shorter one here.... too bad because really interesting character...

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm half-way through season 3 of Buffy; still goodness, though I don't think the writing is as sharpe as the previous two seasons.

I'm rewatching the first season of The Witcher at the mo. Now that I have some distance from Witcher 3, I can say that Henry Cavill makes a solid Geralt.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’ve been re-watching Curb Your Enthusiasm in a random seasonal order.
Season 9 is fucking great. Genius comedy.

[Lock Jaw]

Been watching Star Trek for some reason.... for as big a fan as I was growing up I never really watched the original series... seemed "cheesy" to me as a kid....

Now as an adult still seems cheesy but I can appreciate that

[weather vane]

Dave.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm on to season 4 of Buffy; the first episode has Pedro Pascal in an early role as a vampire. Crazy.

Finished season 3 of Sharpe; not as strong as the previous 2 seasons. I will start season 4 at the weekend.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Sam Elliot is reportedly being cast in a Yellowstone prequel. Sign me the fuck up.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Sam Elliott is gold, but only when he has a moustache. I saw him in something else, without his moustache, an it was just wrong. Plain wrong.

[Seanny One Ball]

Season 2 of Ted Lasso stinks of shit and it’s only two episodes in.
I knew I must have been vulnerable when I enjoyed the first one so much.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hank just got raped by a dolphin.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

And now Hank just threw another guy in the pool so the dolphin could rape him too. And thats the denouement of the story.

This show is wild.

[Tom Guycott]

Started watching Laudermilk. Not quite Shameless, but more hardcore than Becker. I'd say in the ballpark (hey, a pun!) of Brockmire.

[Sepholio]

Listen up. Stop whatever you are watching and go to Netflix and watch Brand New Cherry Flavor. I have no idea wtf I am watching I just know that whatever it is it is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. I am 2 episodes in and I am simultaneously so intrigued and baffled that I can't even explain wtf I mean. This is just so.....surreal. And unique. There is nothing else I can think of to even compare it to.

K back to watching.

[Sepholio]

what. the. hell is going on omg its like Junji Ito made a baby with Stranger Things and then the baby grew up and formed a human centipede with Species and True Blood and The Ring and Parasyte and god knows what other weird shit while they were all out of their minds on DMT and it somehow resulted in them merging into one Cronenbergesque television creature.

Edit: There's a healthy dose of the Dorohedoro anime in here too.

[Sepholio]

For example:

I just watched a girl who had previously been barfing up baby kittens that grow up in a couple days and whose blood gives people spiritual powers instead form some kind of strange neovagina on her side just below her ribcage which she then kinda fingered until she was clearly horny and then birthed one of the kittens from it instead onto the bathroom floor. A few minutes later a Biker zombie comes in to retrieve the kitten for this lady who is some kind of crazy ass DMT witch. Immediately after the biker leaves the girl gets the guy who is with her to fucking fist her new neovagina, before mounting and riding him while he continues to fist her nearly elbow deep.
THIS SHIT IS INEXPLICABLE

[Seanny One Ball]

It sounds like it might be trying too hard or is Japanese and therefore relatively normal.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Just finished Schitt’s Creek. Very, very good. Don’t know if I’d put it up there as all time great show but I certainly enjoyed myself.

Need a new show now. May just do a rewatch of What We Do In The Shadows before season 3 starts.

[slik]

Looking forward to the finale of White Lotus tonight on HBO...so funny and good

[Lock Jaw]

Watched season finale of Superman & Lois.... overall a good show.... still think they should have got someone better to be Lois. Or just swapped the Lois and Lana actresses.

Right when I started to get used to Lois' lazy eye, I got super freaked out by her massive forehead V-shaped vein

[slik]

Looking forward to the finale of White Lotus tonight on HBO...so funny and good

Good show

:y:

[Seanny One Ball]

Lock Jaw hating on Bitsie Tulloch warms my old black heart.
She is pretty bad... Nearly ruined the excellent “Grimm” show by not staying dead.

[rez]

SurrealEstate....I like it but question if it'll get a 2nd season.

[PapaGeorgio]

Really enjoyed what Kevin Can Fuck Himself did.

[Seanny One Ball]

I started watching “Eastbound & Down”.
It’s so short I’ll finish season 1 before bed. It’s decent so far but there have been a few big laughs and the reviews for the following seasons are a lot stronger so I’ll stick with it.

So far the best bit has been the baseball to the eye. I liked that a lot.

Also, Katie Mixon is a really strange type of hot. She looks very soft, like you’d be very very warm if you so much as hugged her.

[Jordan]

Kate Mixon very thick and hot.

Eastbound is one of the funniest shows ever. It has some fucking legendary scenes.

[Sepholio]

Now that Manifest has been picked up for a 4th season I have gone back and decided to watch the rest of it. Decided not to continue originally when they announced it was over after season 3. Didn't see a point in getting attached to a show I know was never going to have a conclusion.

[OssMan]

Theres a part in eastbound and down where kenny powers says "disaster emergency" which I thought was funny, then Andrew Cuomo used the term like two weeks ago...

[Lock Jaw]

Been binge watching season 2 of Lego Masters for whatever reason....

[Seanny One Ball]

It’s because you are a sad bastard.

[Lock Jaw]

Nice. I'll use it.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I continue my rewatch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I just finished 'Once More with Feeling' (Season 6); that episode still holds-up 20 years on.

I'm also rewatching 30 Rock at the moment as well; on to season 2. I think Liz Lemon might be my perfect woman.

[Lock Jaw]

All caught up in the season of Lego Masters.... love Will Arnett.... also "PrettyCool" what these people can build via Lego...

[Lock Jaw]

Finally watched the first episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch

These seem like the worst, least interesting characters to pick to focus a show around.

[Fignuts]

What we do in the shadows season 3

Hasn't lost a step

[Seanny One Ball]

It hasn’t even been advertised here yet but it’s already out.

Fucking hell no wonder everybody overlooks it.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching WWDITS now.

It’s good to be back.

[Seanny One Ball]

There should be more British/American comedies. WWDITS plays off of misunderstandings so well, both generational and social.

[Seanny One Ball]

“I’ll wank my way, and you wank yours.”

Matt Berry is the only actor going who could give you that room to laugh.
Great shit.

[Bad News Gertner]

Crime and Penalites on Netflix. Watched the one on the Danbury Trashers. I knew the story but wow was it good

[Seanny One Ball]

Nearly finished Eastbound & Down. It’s funny but it has no relief to it. It’s celebrating an arsehole and his mistakes.

[Seanny One Ball]

I will give it the benefit of having depth though, there are moments that make you wonder about it all.
I particularly like the Guy Young stuff. It’s on the edge and very provocative. I can’t remember the last time a comedy show just went for it on a racial level. This show does it a lot. It looks and feels like real life.

It’s just more interesting than it is funny a lot of the time.

[Seanny One Ball]

Only Murders In The Building is good fun. A nice pace for performance to supplement actual jokes.

[Seanny One Ball]

This show is great so far. I laughed a lot at episode 3, the cast are excellent together and the premise is a tremendous way of sneaking in big unexpected laughs.

[Juan]

About to start s2 of Ted Lasso and s3 of Mayans MC

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I just finished watching a series from the 1980s: The Jewel in the Crown. It is a great piece of television; the acting is slightly dated, as TV has moved on, but still, a fantastic story. It is set in India during WW2, so you have that and the rising nationalist movement and then partition as a back-drop, but the story revolves around the rape of an English woman and the torture and subsequent false imprisonment of her Indian lover, and how those events reverberate in the lives of a set of other characters, most of whom don't know or ever meet the woman or her lover. It also doesn't shy away from the prejudices and bigotry of the period, both between the English classes and between the colonials and the Indians, but not in the preachy or ham-fisted way that things are done these days. It is a series that does not come along very often; it is up there with Brideshead Revisited as far as rare quality 80s television goes.

[Seanny One Ball]

I looked it up because of that post and completely spoiled it for myself.

It looks pretty good though.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

It is so good. Makes me want to investigate 80s television further and see what quality shows I've never seen. A couple of shows I came across that I'm going to check out are Edge of Darkness and A Very British Coup.

[Seanny One Ball]

Edge Of Darkness is one that is apparently top drawer and I’ve debated watching it before. I saw the Mel Gibson film but it wasn’t up to much. I’ll see if I can find it online.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Edge of Darkness is on Amazon; can buy it for £5.99. Depending on how much food money I have unspent next Friday, I'll probably buy it.

I wouldn't mind watching the TV adaptation of Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, from 1979, but it is not available online, at least I haven't seen it anywhere. The film with Alicia Vikander and Kit Harrington, from 2014/15, is just naff; no 2-hour film can do that book justice, as there is just too much to cover.

[weather vane]

Ted Lasso and Dave so good. So so so good.

[XL]

Finished up Your Honor (good stuff) and the final season of Modern Family (end of an era). Started on Criminal. It’s great so far. Amazing cast. I’m watching the UK version but there are German, Spanish, and French (I think) versions too that differ. Might check those out too.

[Seanny One Ball]

Ted Lasso season two is shite

[Bad News Gertner]

I finally finished the last season of the Office

[Lock Jaw]

Three episodes in to the new season/part of Money Heist/Casa de Papel.....

I kind of really miss when this show didn't have a huge budget....

[weather vane]

Ted Lasso season two is shite

Disagree.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Just finished The White Queen, which is a 10-episode BBC series about the War of the Roses, from the perspectives of Elizabeth Grey, Margaret Beaufort, Anne Neville, and Elizabeth of York (learn your English history, you savages). It is pretty standard fare from the BBC; it suffers from me just having watched The Jewel in the Crown, which is awesome. Rebecca Ferguson does get her baps out on numerous occasions, though, so there is that.

I'm on to the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As much as I loved the series back in the diz-zay, the quality of the show dropped off immensely after season 3. I just want to get it finished at this point and move on to something else.

I'm also on to season 3 of my re-watch of 30 Rock.

[Lock Jaw]

Finished the five new episodes of Money Heist/Casa de Papel

Show is just straight up an action movie now I guess

Reservation Dogs awesome.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

What We Do in the Shadows. Fucking hilarious.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I finished Buffy; I enjoyed the whole series, but it really did lose its mojo after season 3.

I'm coming to the end of season 3 of 30 Rock.

I'm half-way through Wolf Hall and I've just begun the fourth and final season of Goliath.

[ron the dial]

i thought midnight mass on netflix was very good. don't really care for hamish linklater in general but was able to get over it.

[Frank Drebin]

On episode 3 right now. A little slow but I'm fine with that if they flesh things out properly.

[Frank Drebin]

I need to know who poisoned the dog. I would go John McAfee on a mother fucker if I knew who poisoned my dog.

[Frank Drebin]

Maybe someone gets that reference. Hoping Ron does.

[Sepholio]

Also watching Midnight Mass atm. Liking it so far.

[Frank Drebin]

not a clue my friend

He killed or had someone kill a guy because he thought he poisoned his dogs.

[Lock Jaw]

3 episodes left in the final season of Lucifer.....

[Seanny One Ball]

Latest season of “What We Do In The Shadows” is possibly the funniest yet.
I don’t even know anymore and I don’t think it matters. It’s so funny it actually makes me sit back in awe of the quality.
There is almost no relief.

[Juan]

I've been enjoying the show :-\

Same

[slik]

4 eps into Midnight Mass. Really good so far.

While it was occasionally slow times it really ended up worth it in the end. Some terrific and touching scenes, top notch writing. Good series.

[Sepholio]

Watching Into The Night now.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the second to last episode of Lucifer.... feeling emotional...... gonna watch the last episode now

[RP]

I watched The Comey Rule on Netflix. Really really good. Brendan Gleeson is an incredible Trump.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the last episode of Lucifer.... damn

Don't want the show to be over.....

Glad that Netflix saved it for the extra 3 seasons.... (Although I think S3 with Tom Welling was still the best one)

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished the final season of Goliath. Billy Bob is as watchable as ever, but it is definitely not the strongest of the seasons.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've just finished Wolf Hall, which is a BBC drama from around 5-6 years ago that revolves around the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn. It is a well-known and often told story, but it was interesting to see it from the perspective of Thomas Cromwell, and Mark Rylance does a great job in that role. It is a fairly sombre show, but instead of pushing you away as a result, it kind of pulls you in.

[Sepholio]

Wow. Squid Game def lived up to the hype.

[Lock Jaw]

Finished off the season of Legends of Tomorrow... apparently the new season starts already in a week or two....

[screech]

Finished Brooklyn Nine-Nine yesterday. Loved it.

[Frank Drebin]

Just finished episode 6 of Squid Game. Feeling Skeletor levels of "emotional" rn.

[ClockShot]

Started watching Shadow & Bone on Netflix.

It's alright. But I think they're doing a better job with Witcher.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've watched a couple of somewhat-old series as of late.

I recently watched the first two seasons of the old ITV sci-fi, Primeval (I believe there was an American version of it as well). As it is around 15 years old, the graphics don't particularly hold-up, but solid enough. Sadly, the other seasons are not on the Brit-box channel, so I'll have to wait until they are to watch them.

I have also just finished the two seasons of The Forsyte Saga (2002). It is kind of like Downton Abbey, but instead of revolving around an aristocratic family, it centres around a upper-middle class family instead. Actually, it is far superior to Downton, mostly thanks to Damien Lewis.

I'm coming to the end of season 5 of 30 Rock as well.

I need to decide what series I'm going to watch next. I've watched a couple of episodes from the original Magnum P.I. series, and I'll probably continue with that. Season 6 of Fear the Walking Dead is now on Prime, so I may watch that, though I don't feel particularly inclined to return to TWD universe; that time has kind of past now.

[Seanny One Ball]

You should watch “Foundation”.
I can link you if you want. It is a feast for the eyes.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching “Squid Game” due to mob mentality.

Yeah ok it’s pretty good.
Jeez.

[Seanny One Ball]

The honeycomb game is one of the most tense things I have ever seen on TV...

Lead actor is damned charismatic.

[Seanny One Ball]

Fucked up... I definitely would have picked the umbrella...

How did this turn into a comedy by the end?!

[Seanny One Ball]

Nope, back to fucked up horror

[Tom Guycott]

Started in on the fresh eps of Leverage:Redemption. Here's hoping Noah shitcans that "Louisiana" accent for good.

[Seanny One Ball]

Going to watch episode 7 before bed...

Squid Game is high level. The only bad thing about it is this incredibly annoying woman who was written, directed and acted to be the most grating presence in a show full of high tension scenarios that don’t require an annoying bitch in the foreground.

[Seanny One Ball]

Episode 7 veering into “not good” territory with some awful hammy acting from some poorly represented VIPA’s.

Inexcusable choice there. That’s dreadful stuff. It’s like it came from a completely different show. Whoever is responsible for that part does not like America...or nuance...

[Seanny One Ball]

Too many 69 comments in too short a time.

Why is this happening...

[Seanny One Ball]

LOL


The look that guy gave him is pure comedy gold.

[Fignuts]

Yeah the VIPs almost ruined it for me. It's like a bad anime dub. A bad anime dub from the 90's.

[Seanny One Ball]

They were terrible.

Still, it ended pretty well.

[Frank Drebin]

Probably the best TV of the year even with some *imo* minor flaws.

Dat marbles episode....

[Seanny One Ball]

The bit where the guy begs to go first and the subsequent look he gives Gi-Hun when he realises how fucked he is is magnificent dark comedy.
One of the funniest moments ever in drama.

Absolutely loved Squid Game. It's not often I ever find a show that I want to binge like that but I just got hooked and couldn't wait to see where it went next. Major spoilers ahoy:

Episode 6, as everyone said, was absolutely devastating. I genuinely gasped at the announcement that you'd be playing your partner with the loser being eliminated. It's something I should've expected but for whatever reason I didn't. And I then spent the entire episode cringing watching each individual game unfold. Ali's ending just about brought me to tears, he was much too trusting for that game.

The contrast of Gi-hun and Sang-woo's cheating. Gi-hun feeling riddled with guilt the entire time and Sang-woo being relatively stone faced knowing he did what he had to do. But it also makes you face some cold introspection because no matter how much you don't want to admit it, you'd have probably done the same thing in their shoes. I mean it's that or take a bullet to the brain.

I knew very early on that the cop's brother was involved in the games in some capacity, I just didn't know if he was a random soldier or whatever. Once the files showed he won I thought he could be the Front Man.

But 001...fuck. In the first few episodes I did have a passing thought that he could be involved. There were little things, he gleefully played the first game and seemed unphased by everyone dying. The voting system ensured he'd vote last. Him managing to be the only one to get to a safe place during the night battle and the carnage only stopping when he called for it. But I thought I was overthinking it. By the time episode 6 came around the thought never crossed my mind. Even his death not being shown didn't raise a red flag to me because Ali got popped off-camera too.

[Seanny One Ball]

Did the VIP’s almost ruin it for you?

[Evil Vito]

The VIPs were terrible but I also didn't think they were meant to have any redeeming qualities.

It's weird because I don't want the VIPs in a season 2 but also know that them meeting their demise would be satisfying.

[GD]

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've just finished watching the four seasons of Cadfael. It is a mid-1990s detective series, set in the C12th and revolves around the sleuthing of a Benedictine monk, Brother Cadfael, played by Derek Jacobi. I've seen some of it over the years, but until now I don't think I'd ever seen an episode all the way through. Derek Jacobi is fantastic in it, and it has surprisingly high production value for a mid-90s UK television series. If you like "whodunnits" with a difference, try it out.

I'm on to the final series of 30 Rock. I think I've enjoyed the show more the second time round. As like a lot of series, particularly comedy series, the quality dips after the third series, but it remains consistently high. Though, my attraction to Tina Fey might be clouding my judgement.

I'm two episodes into the Amazon series, Leonardo, which is based on Leonardo Da Vinci. I like it so far; the only weak aspect is the chap who played Norman Bates in Bates Motel, but he is not in it much.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you were raised in an old folks home.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Cadfael does give that impression, but it is pretty good.

[Seanny One Ball]

Why don’t you go and suck Derek Jobbycock off of you love Cadfael so much, hmmm?!

[Fignuts]

No way is his name really Jobbycock.

[Seanny One Ball]

That’s how you are supposed to pronounce it anyway

[Seanny One Ball]

Just like Alan ChewDick

[drave]

Or Andy Dick

[Seanny One Ball]

You’ve got the wrong idea

[drave]

Is there ever the right idea with Andy Dick? No, I thought not.




Carry on.

[Seanny One Ball]

I honestly think Andy Dick would have made a great heel wrestling manager and I’ve said it before.

[Lock Jaw]

Finally watched the season 3 premiere of Doom Patrol/covid-delayed finale to season 2. Love this show.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

30 Rock done, Leonard done, and I've just finished rewatching The Pillars of the Earth.

I now need to find another series or 2 to watch.

[Lock Jaw]

Damn, the new Dexter starts on Sunday

[Sepholio]

Watching Sisyphus on Netflix.

[Seanny One Ball]

What We Do In The Shadows the TV series is so good. The stupidly high joke count makes repeat viewings very easy. So much talent.

[drave]

Westworld S3.


Forgot about it.

[Lock Jaw]

Never watched S2 (except the first episode). S1 just seemed like a "complete" story to me so I wasn't so compelled to watch.... the fact that no one was talking about it also did not help. Everyone was hyped and talking about S1 and I have heard like zero people talk about S2 or 3.

[XL]

Went back to American Horror Story having watched Season 1-3 we skipped to S7 then haven’t watched. Watched American Horror Stories and picked up from S8 which seemed interesting…until it became a crossover with S3, incorporated Hotel which I haven’t watched and then went back to Murder House which induced eye rolls from me. I liked the idea that you can pick and choose what you watch so the fact there’s so many call backs has annoyed me. I liked the recurring cast but having them play 3 characters in the same season is meh. Still got a few eps to go but not holding out much hope.

[Sixx]

Damn, the new Dexter starts on Sunday

Skip it.

[drave]

Never watched S2 (except the first episode). S1 just seemed like a "complete" story to me so I wasn't so compelled to watch.... the fact that no one was talking about it also did not help. Everyone was hyped and talking about S1 and I have heard like zero people talk about S2 or 3.




Two definitely expounded on S1 and you should watch it. I've only watched E1 so far, and it is interesting, but there are a lot of questions.

[Seanny One Ball]

Season 2 wasn’t bad at all, it just wasn’t 100% brilliant like season 1.
Plot holes and annoying shite aside, it does have a tremendous story with Peter Mullan that really picked the season up as a whole.

[drave]

On S3E3 now - and yeah, it's definitely worth a watch so far.


Ties in to a lot of "real world tech" right now too, which I'm into, and probably why it strikes a chord with me.

[drave]

Actually starting to remind me of the Fallout 4 plot..... in SOME ways.

I should really watch the Reno 911 series all the way through from start to finish. I’m not sure why I never have before, I used to love catching it on tv. The film wasn’t half bad either - I always wondered if a weed whacker would fuck your face up but I am too scared to test it out.

[drave]

they will.




source: have used one on someone

[drave]

Aaron Paul is ridiculously good in Westworld S3.


Just finished up the episode titled "Genre" where there's a party drug that sends you through 5 "genres of movies" and the expressions and changes he goes through are done VERY well.


Overall, great season thus far.

[GD]

I finished Midnight Mass.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've been watching old seasons of Lark Rise to Candleford.

It is essentially an old people show or for those who want something gentle to watch on a Sunday evening, but I kind of like it. I also like Julia Sawalha.

[Blonde Moment]

Can't stop watching Hit Monkey on Hulu

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Rewatched World Without End, which is set in the same fictional town of Kingsbridge as its predecessor, The Pillars of the Earth, but 200 years later. Not as good as the former, but good enough.

[The Fraze]

Tb1 has had me watch a few shows start to finish this year and his selections seem to be based on the fact that he knows I will become infatuated with the female lead or supporting character.

[drave]

Finished up Westworld S3. Seemed to move very fast compared to the first two seasons, with tons more action.


implications from the last episode are huge and could go a few different ways. Either way, if they do continue the series, I will watch.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’ll start it soon. Need to watch Fargo season 4 too, new Curb Your Enthusiasm and I’m currently rewatching every James Bond film...

[drave]

Need to get caught up on the last to Daniel Craig 007 films. Did not care for Tim Dalton.

[Seanny One Ball]

Timothy Dalton is my favourite Bond...

I must have seen “The Living Daylights” twenty times. I actually started my marathon with it, I’ll be ending with “License To Kill” just to bookend it with greatness.

Moonraker is actually a comedy spy film IMO. I just watched it again today and it has all the elements of a great Pink Panther film. “A Shot Into Space” or something...

[drave]

LOL - Moonraker definitely felt like a Spoof. 100% was waiting to see Leslie Nielsen pop up in there somewhere.

[The Fraze]

Watched a few full episodes of "Who's The Boss" on YouTube.

[slik]

Mona

Mona was the real boss

[Seanny One Ball]

They should do a game show called “Who’s The Bus?” where they line up say ten coaches and a contestant has to figure out which one is actually a bus.

That’s a show where the Netflix 2 seasons theory would make a lot of sense.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching “Bill Burr Presents Immoral Compass”, a series of shorts presented in an anthology with episodes containing skits that reflect the theme Burr’s character “Ricky” is bitching about.

The skits are pretty funny so far, not as shocking as they could be but they are well played however the monologues by Ricky are excellent.

[The Fraze]

Honestly crazy to me how famous Bill Burr has become. It's no longer "cool" or "unique" to say he's my favorite comedian.

[Seanny One Ball]

That’s the price of popularity.

[Fignuts]

Arcane on Netflix.

3 episodes in. Very impressed so far. And I had zero experience or interest in league of legends going in.

[screech]

Speaking of Bill Burr, we finished F is for Family on Netflix today. Tremendous.

[Lock Jaw]

Been watching the final season of Supergirl. This show is just soooooooo preachy sometimes.

[drave]

sometimes?




Go watch more Westworld and question your existence instead.

[drave]

Netflix's Cowboy Bebop thoroughly enjoyable thus far :D

[Tom Guycott]

Been watching Tom Lasso (via illicit means). It's a fucking shame it's on Apple+, because this deserves more recognition while simultaneously not giving Apple more goddamn money.

Much like Brockmire, it took a one-off sports joke and became an entire universe unto itself. It's written well, the song choices are very deliberate, and *nearly* every character is a whole person (except maybe Rupert) with their flaws and charms.

And Roy Kent is the fucking best.

Also, a joke that isn't really a joke unless you know about it, the series starts with a Division 2 championship win by the Wichita State football team. Problem is, Wichita State hasn't had a football team in decades. And with both the influx of alumni money (read: Koch Brothers) and how much they usually rake in from both basketball and, surprisingly, baseball, that's not likely to change anytime soon. They're like to polar opposite of Marshall with that decision.

[Fignuts]

Finished watching Arcane

Write me down for a Dave Meltzer 7 out of 5 stars. So well done.

[drave]

Dude, I started that last night. Watched the first 4 episodes and WOW!!! I know nothing of the game, but this show is fantastic. Well written, fast-paced and man, lots of unexpected and sudden moments!


Will be watching more.

Season 2 sucked after 3 episodes.... are you telling me to watch it again, Tom?

I feel like Sudeikis is having a mid-life crisis with this show. It’s like tea with ten sugars

[Destor]

Finished watching Arcane

Write me down for a Dave Meltzer 7 out of 5 stars. So well done.ive started this based on your recommendation. so far i hate the art style but like it overall. one ep in though so the plot hasnt really started yet

[drave]

By ep 3 the plot has moved TONS.




Good show, on ep 6

[Destor]

im def not judging its plot yet let it get out of the 1st act at least. i like the characters

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished rewatching the two seasons of Rome. A marvellous show, which would have been much better if they had allowed it to run for the 4-5 seasons as originally intended. The second season is a bit of a mess and rushed, as they tried to cram in stories from the other seasons that didn't go ahead. Shame.

I'm into the second half of Foundation, as suggested by Seanny of the One True Ball. I'm enjoying it, but the show is fairly run of the mill; it's no The Expanse.

[Seanny One Ball]

Funnily enough I gave up on Foundation for being a bit too soap-opera-in-space for my liking. It looked tits after the opening episode but it went a bit too heavy on the extra plot lines.
Asimov reads like an encyclopaedia entry, even in dialogue. The show should have presented it as such. It should be like a serious “Hitchhiker’s Guide”, that’s the only way to do it.

[Seanny One Ball]

I am going to give The Expanse a proper go someday. I just need to find something to matinee it with. Seems like a lot to get through...

[Seanny One Ball]

The only really weak thing in this new season of Dexter is the presence of Ghost-Deb.
That fucking face just ruins everything. Always getting angry and never twenty seconds away from crying like a fuckwit. She was never a great addition so I have no idea why they decided that a dead and somehow even more neurotic version was necessary...

[Lock Jaw]

Want to watch Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas..... but alas it is on "The Roku Channel" (where it will fail miserably because who has that?).... can't even find it anywhere online....

[Lock Jaw]

Just finished watching it.... shame at not being able to see some of these stories play out over the course of a season 3 instead of jammed into a movie.... was still enjoyable and good to see them back at all. Too bad that very few people will get to see it....

[Seanny One Ball]

Started watching “Channel Zero” because I was in the mood for a more legitimate horror and I can’t keep going back to AHS when all it does is lead me to disappointment.
First episode is good...very tense and seemingly has roots in rational fears. Hopefully if it gets weird it goes big.

[Seanny One Ball]

This is going to be fucked up isn’t it...

Paul Schneider was a great choice for this.

[Seanny One Ball]

Yeah this is pretty messed up stuff, I like it. Nice early twists and turns!

[Seanny One Ball]

Not sure about the tooth thing though...

[Fignuts]

Channel Zero >>>>>>>>AHS

The first season is good, but probably the weakest of the bunch.

[Fignuts]

Also, I've watched a few episodes of creepshow on shudder and it's pretty great. One off episodes, like tales from the crypt.

[Seanny One Ball]

Second season of Channel Zero reminds me a of AHS in some ways. The music is very similar...

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished watching the short-lived BBC series, Banished, which is a drama set at the Botany Bay penal colony. I don't tend to be the biggest fan of BBC dramas, though I've watched a number of them as of late, but I found it rather watchable. Sadly, it was cancelled after 1 season.

I've been occasionally watching episodes from another BBC series, Ripper Street, which is a Victorian detective series set in Whitechapel (London), and centres around a detective haunted by his inability to catch Jack the Ripper. I can't decide whether I like it or not; waiting for it to grab me.

I need to find something to watch that will tide me over until the new series of The Witcher and The Expanse are out.

[Lock Jaw]

Started the final five episodes of Casa de Papel/Money Heist. Two down, and enjoying it... things moving on....

[Seanny One Ball]

I finished “No End House” from Channel Zero last night. It was pretty good but I think the soundtrack is way too similar to AHS and the John Carrol Lynch connection makes it seem deliberate.

[Lock Jaw]

Started the final five episodes of Casa de Papel/Money Heist. Two down, and enjoying it... things moving on....

Watched two more.... one episode left that I was gonna leave for tomorrow but I literally can't stop now.... gotta know how it all ends....

[Lock Jaw]

Enjoyed it a lot.... overall Part 3/4/5 was just way too long, could have condensed it and cut out some of the "it's an action movie now" parts and made it better

[Seanny One Ball]

Sounds like a heap of shite that you got used to the taste of so you just kept shovelling it in...

[weather vane]

Always Sunny new season. Always good.

[Seanny One Ball]

I ain’t cracking that one open til I have the chance to binge it.

Dennis Reynolds is my jam.

[weather vane]

He would be your jam haha.

[XL]

Finished up The Outlaws. A BBC production from Stephen Merchant and Elgin James (creator of Mayan M.C.) and starring Merchant and Christopher Walken. Crime caper/dramedy. Really enjoyed it.

[TNARICK1]

Right now catching up on season 10 of the walking dead. Idk how far into it I was so just rewatching a few episodes but I am pretty sure I've never seen the full season. I watch about half a episode or so a night then go to sleep.

Also occasionally watching old WCW Nitro's. I'm in 97 where Luger won the title. Show is pretty boring. I started the Road Wild 97 PPV and haven't got back to it in over a week. Wrestling is so boring.

[Lock Jaw]

Watching the last season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia because I somehow missed it.... lol at the Thundergun episode.... I love episodes where they have a "normal person" antagonist who is just totally taken aback by the gang....
