What shows are you watching?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The final season of The Expanse has started, but Amazon are only releasing one episode a week, so I can't see myself watching it until February, when it should ready to binge. I need to rewatch season 5, as well.

[Seanny One Ball]

This new season of Dexter is damned good. It’s as good as the first four seasons were, which is really surprising even with the same show runner. It’s hard to come back from 4-5 seasons of mediocrity, but somehow with a few years distance the loose ends grew into plot threads rich with potential.

What a comeback.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished watching Arcane

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

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.

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

The Drinker approves, so I'll be checking this show out.

[Seanny One Ball]

MacGruber show... why didn’t I know about this?!

Will Forte is a real comedy genius. I hope this is as good as the film...

[Seanny One Ball]

The first five minutes of episode 1 are so good I have just gotten my hopes up.

God bless you Will Forte you funny son of a bitch.

[Seanny One Ball]

Yeah I put my money on this being the best comedy show since What We Do In The Shadows came out after ten minutes.

It’s hilarious.

[Seanny One Ball]

This was a busy first episode.

4/4

[drave]

I also didn't know there was a show, but will be watching now!

[ClockShot]

Going to fire up Witcher season 2 either later today or tomorrow.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I finished Arcane. An absolutely marvellous show. I look forward to season 2, though I suspect we'll be waiting several years for it.

[Bad News Gertner]

Dark Side of the 90's on Vice is a really cool show. Came across the start of the Beanie Babies episode and watched the whole thing. Watched the episode on Jerry Springer and "Trash T.V. Also really good. Now watching the episode on Teen Dramas (90210, Party of 5 Etc...)

[Tom Guycott]

Just ran through the new season of The Witcher.

Without any real spoilers, I can say they changed to a linear narrative this time, and even quite cleverly addressed some of the major season 1 criticisims (like the unexplained time jumping) in the dialogue itself.

[Sammy00]

I’m watching “the Crown”. The series is very beautiful and well-shot. When you look, you get colossal aesthetic pleasure. But the feeling of chewing gum does not leave, as if the director is afraid to overload the viewer's brain. Instead of showing historical action (what is happening in the world, behind-the-scenes wars, etc.) - one clear chewed line. Long scenes with kisses, silence of the main characters, etc. Therefore, the impression is very ambiguous. It would be cool if the entire series showed world history through the prism of the life of Elizabeth Il. But alas, no. Everything is provided for this story to last 10 seasons. Otherwise I liked Churchill and the scenery very much.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I just finished the first season of The Wheel of Time. I've never read the books, so I can't say how much they deviate from the source material, for better or for worse. I liked it, even though identity politics is strong with this one, and I look forward to season 2.

I'll watch fantasy shows all day long, so unless it is entirely naff, I'll generally enjoy such stuff.

I might watch season 3 of The Outpost, to get another fantasy fix, before I tackle season 2 of The Witcher over the New Year.

[Seanny One Ball]

Latest Dexter episode had one of the best ever climaxes in the series’ history. This season has revived the franchise, they will have to make more now.

[GD]

I finished watching "Cowboy Bebop".

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I finished watching "Cowboy Bebop".

I heard it sucked. It got canceled.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Night Court on imdb going through season by season again, Also the Witcher and the new season of Discovery.

Cobra Kai in a few days.

[GD]

I saw the original Anime series.

[Sepholio]

OG cowboy bebop is prob the best anime ever tbh. It is to me anyways.

Talked about it a couple months ago, but just now finally got around to watching AHS. Didn't care too much for season 1, but season 2/Asylum has got me hooked now.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Y'all need to watch Arcane. So good.

Asylum is the best IMO. Freak Show is okay too..... but I kinda reeeeeeeeally hate musicals. It picked up steam in the 2nd half.


Hotel as just an excuse to put softcore porn on AMC for an hour a week.


Haven't watched beyond that.

[Seanny One Ball]

“Freak Show” was the last and possibly only truly great season, and it was so relentlessly grim and mean spirited that Michael Chiklis has never returned to the series. Says it’s the worst he ever felt at work.

[drave]

Truly Great*




god damnit.

[Fignuts]

Couldn't watch freak show. Impossible for me not to compare it to Carnivale, which was a much better show and made me sad it was cancelled.

[Ruien]

I just finished the first season of The Wheel of Time. I've never read the books, so I can't say how much they deviate from the source material, for better or for worse. I liked it, even though identity politics is strong with this one, and I look forward to season 2.

Wheel of Time is super rushed. That was expected with only 8 episodes though. It has been a like a decade since I read the book. The only thing that seemed deviated was the amount of romance in the episodes. Was dialed up to the extreme.

Wish they had about 4 more episodes to flesh out the story. Matt got shafted hard.

[Sepholio]

I rather liked Asylum. Way better than season 1. I'm on coven now though and I think I like this one even more.

[drave]

Coven was pretty good too.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Gotta love the White Witch.

[Sepholio]

Yea really dug Coven. Rolling straight into Apocalypse as such. Will go back to season 4 after that.

[Seanny One Ball]

You’ve fucked up not going with Freak Show

[drave]

Yeah.....


It starts rather intensely, what the first few mins of the first episode. It was a slow burn after that and seemed boring in between the actual shocking shit.

[drave]

Bout halfway through 2nd season of The Witcher.


I lol'd too hard at Geralt calling someone a "firefucker" because fire magic is forbidden, but one of the baddies dabbles with it.

[drave]

Holy fuck at episode 8 :O


Pissed off elf lady kills human babies en masse by cursing their homes. This causes the babies chests to burn until she completed the spell and instantly killed them all. It went from hearing a myriad of baby screams, to parents wailing in agony at the sudden death of their babies. Fuck.

[Sepholio]

You’ve fucked up not going with Freak Show

Nah I know that is supposed to be the best one. That's actually why I skipped it for Apocalypse. Figured I'd watch coven/apocalypse together instead of breaking them up with the one series that seems to be guaranteed to be better than they are.

[Seanny One Ball]

Coven is the next best season.

Coven is actually funny, and given the subject matter that really is an achievement.

[Sepholio]

Can't wait for whatever they do next with the coven. They could spin that whole story off into its own show and I would def watch it.

Binging the hell out of these obviously. Time to get this Freakshow on the road.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've just finished season 2 of The Witcher. I liked it more than the first season, especially as they dropped the whole Westworld multi-timeline shenanigans, which was not executed well in the initial season. But, overall, while I enjoy the series, it remains a B-rate programme at best.

I've also finished season 3 of The Outpost. It doesn't have the budget of The Witcher, Wheel of Time and other similar programmes, and the acting is iffy at best; but they make the best of what they've got, and is a show that is not afraid to take chances. Furthermore, Jessica Green is just ridiculously attractive. Like, seriously, she is just obscene.

[Lock Jaw]

Finished up the season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Dunno. Something felt lacking this season. Some funny stuff for sure going on, but on the whole, I dunno....

[RP]

I finished Sea of Silence. It was decent. Nothing amazing. Just decent.

[Sepholio]

Freakshow is some of the best TV I think I've ever seen. It's so unique and obv not scared to take risks. Gripping stuffz. This is another AHS universe I could have watched as its own show.

Theres a certain character that appears at a couple points that I really think they could use as the basis for a "connected" season. Found him very intradasting.

[Sepholio]

Ok so I'm on hotel now. Porno vampires in episode 1 lol. They seem fun.

[Sepholio]

ngl I'm really looking forward to Roanoke. I think that's next. I'm assuming it ties into the old stories from there somehow. Always been fascinated by that.

[Blonde Moment]

just picked up The Starlost gonna give that one a watch

[ClockShot]

Finished off Witcher season 2 last night. Looks like they're gearing up season 3 to be one hell of a ride with the way they left things.

[OssMan]

Who watching The Bachelor? Midwest ass white dude going with way too many blonde women imo.. Daria fine as af and she didnt get the rose :wavesad:

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished off Witcher season 2 last night. Looks like they're gearing up season 3 to be one hell of a ride with the way they left things.

I want to see the Wild Hunt, the Bloody Baron, and the Crones in the next series. Let's do this!

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished season 4 of Yellowstone.

The show is just on the right side of ridiculous, and has some great scenery porn.

[Sepholio]

Finished AHS: Hotel.

Liked this one a lot too. Prob my 2 fave characters in the series so far in Liz Taylor and James Patrick Marsh. Feel like they'll be revisiting the Cortez at some point in the future.

[drave]

I want to see the Wild Hunt, the Bloody Baron, and the Crones in the next series. Let's do this!




It's all but there. Really thought they were alluding to the crones with Yennifer this season..... but alas, it was not.


They would have to do a big detour NOT to go this direction.

[Sepholio]

Finished Roanoke. Didn't really care for it unfortunately. Don't often like found footage/fake documentary movies. Tbh it didn't even feel like AHS after watching like 6 other seasons.

Watching Cult now. Also very different and not what I was expecting. Election hysteria and the like were the last thing on my mind going in with no knowledge of it. I must say I do like the guy morphing into a cult leader. Interesting character there, especially the way he plays it.

[slik]

Asylum is my all-time favorite season

Murder House, Hotel and 1984 are my other favorites (in no particular order)

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished the 1981 'epic' mini-series, The Manions of America, starring Pierce Brosnan and Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway).

It is set between the 1840s and the Fenian Rising (1867), and is about an Irish farmer (Brosnan) who dreams of a free Ireland, but is forced to flee to America, where he slowly works his way up until he is in a position to help his fellow Irishmen in the 'cause.'

By modern standards, it is fairly naff and there is some godawful Irish accents (I'm looking at you Linda Purl), and there are some ridiculous moments that are occasionally added to inject fresh drama into the proceedings. But, it is also fairly easy to watch and the three 90-minute episodes fly-by. However, it is nowhere near the top drawer 80s programming of Jewel in the Crown and Brideshead Revisited.

[Evil Vito]

Pen15 was really good. I like me some cringe comedy. Some of the background stuff that was happening was super relatable simply due to the fact I was in middle school at the same time period this show was set in.

Like the music they used made me really nostalgic. And that damn AIM episode...

[Seanny One Ball]

Holly Hunter was a terrible addition to Succession.
Sarah Snook already plays her role, same speech impediment and everything.

My ears can’t take it.

[Seanny One Ball]

The Kendall rap bit is actually mind blowing shit man... what the fuck.

[Sepholio]

AHS: 1984 was ok. Nailed the 80s camp vibe. Also delivered another character I thoroughly enjoy in Mr. Jingles.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished season 5 of Billions. Everyone in this show is, to varying degrees, absolute arseholes, but great to watch. I believe season 6 starts next week, so once it is fully up I will watch that one as well.

Slowly but surely I've watched seasons 1-3 of Ripper Street. I'm not sure if I'll watch the other two seasons; I probably will, but I'm not in a rush.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I believe the last episode of The Expanse is released tomorrow, so I'm going to re-watch season 5 before I tackle the final season.

[Frank Drebin]

I finished Arcane. An absolutely marvellous show. I look forward to season 2, though I suspect we'll be waiting several years for it.

Literally just finished it. Shockingly good. Never would have given it a thought without someone pointing it out to me.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The Critical Drinker does it again.

[Sepholio]

Wait the final season of The Expanse is out? Shweet.

Finally finished all of AHS. The Red Tide half of Double Feature was excellent. Really liked it. Hope to see McCauley back in the future too. Death Valley was ok up until the abrupt af ending. Felt like it needed at least another episode or 2. Can't think of any other season that ended up on such a cliffhanger. Now I'm left wondering where this story thread will be picked up in the future seasons.

[GD]

Completed the last season of "F Is For Family"

[Sepholio]

Starting Archive 81. Seems intriguing. Hope it's good.

Will watch the end of The Expanse after this.

[Seanny One Ball]

Series 3 of After Life was decent enough but with some truly outstanding moments of comedy dotted around. It’s dreadfully formulaic though, far too many musical montages.

[Sepholio]

Archive 81 is not what I was expecting but it's still pretty good so far. Very dark and ominous feeling show.

Just saw that Raised by Wolves season 2 comes out in like 2 weeks. Super hyped for that one.

[Sepholio]

OK I watched another episode and this show is REALLY not what I was expecting. It gets weird.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Just saw that Raised by Wolves season 2 comes out in like 2 weeks. Super hyped for that one.

Also looking forward to this.

[XL]

Did After Life S3 over two nights. Had me in tears. Again.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished the final season of The Expanse.

As always, the show grabs you like a motherfucker. But, it was also a fairly weak way to go. The war with Marco Inaros and its conclusion felt rushed, and there are several unresolved matters: what are the entities in the space gates, and what the hell was happening on and above the planet of Laconia.

I think if they had had double the episodes in this final season, they could have resolved everything in a more satisfactory fashion.

Hopefully, Netflix or perhaps another service might pick it for another season or 2; probably not though.

[Sepholio]

I just finished The Expanse as well. And I get the feeling that they are definitely not done with the series. That credits tease all but sealed it for me. I dunno if it'll be season 7 or if it'll be a movie. But they have something else planned for sure.

[weather vane]

Did After Life S3 over two nights. Had me in tears. Again.

Sameeeeee. Every season gets me.

[Destor]

just started s3 today. i dont binge though. i just watch 1 ep a day so itll take me a few to get through it. 301 sets all the characters up real well though

[weather vane]

I watched it all back to back to back to back to back to back.

[Lock Jaw]

For whatever reason decided to watch Batwoman season 2..... once you get past the suuuuuper awkwardness of having to deal with losing their main star and switching gears on all their planned storylines you realize that the new chick is like 10x better than Ruby Rose ever was. Still not a great show by any stretch, but I'm a sucker for superhero stuff.

[Jordan]

Currently watching... The Peacemaker

just finished Succession (loved it) and Yellowjackets (really liked it).

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Breezed through archive 81 and it definitely got really weird really quick. Enjoyed it. Wonder if there’ll be a second season.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Starting a rewatch of Community. I remember it being uproariously funny for a few seasons but I don’t think I ever watched it all the way through.

[Lock Jaw]

The first two seasons are absolutely brilliant, then the brilliant moments start getting fewer and fewer but you still want to watch....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

This.

[Blonde Moment]

3 episodes in to The Legend of Vox Machina and it is far better than i thought it would be. A little raunchier perhaps then i would like so it can't really be shown to preteens unless they are around such language already, but otherwise i think it is fantastic, even with the horny, sex craved gnomish bard.

[Seanny One Ball]

I decided to stick on 1883 seeing as it’s a short run series by Taylor Sheridan(Sicario, Hell or High Water, Wind River). Turns out I will probably have to watch Yellowstone now as he also created/write that.

Sam Elliot has a speech in episode 3 that is effectively viagra for violence. He more or less does the Clint Eastwood climax speech from Unforgiven if you turn the sympathy way up and the sociopath way down.
Still good though.

Tim McGraw is good, he would be better used as a bad guy though given his dead eyes and complete lack of expression. I guess making him a former Confederate prisoner of war works towards explaining the face I guess.

The hot daughter looks just like Jennifer Lawrence. Stupid voice though. The little kid is even worse, wee bastard should not have dialogue until he can speak properly.

[slik]

just learned that one of the actors in season 2 of Euphoria is a porn star and the showrunner liked her porn so he offered her a role on the show...she is a pretty funny character

She’s playing a prostitute, they always play prostitutes.

I bet if I compiled a list of porn actresses who also acted in “legitimate” media at least 75% will have played a hooker at some point. The other 25% are just playing porn stars or strippers again.

The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window

Watched this over a couple of nights. It was good and went balls to the wall loopy in the last episode. It’s more a pastiche than a spoof. Seems a lot of people didn’t catch that though.

No it wasn’t. You’re crap.

[Seanny One Ball]

It was childishly obvious TV for eejits, making it the most popular sitcom in America.

[Seanny One Ball]

Chuck Lorre is objectively funnier than Bill Cosby.

He’s white though so nobody likes him, in fact he would probably lose a popularity contest with Bill Cosby even now.

Bill Cosby is like the least funny black guy of all time. There were one handed children in the Belgian Congo that were funnier than Bill Cosby.

I don’t get Cosby at all. The revelations didn’t even surprise me because nothing about him interests me enough for me to absorb any of it on an emotional level.

I made a joke about a medallion in the jewellers being big enough to knock a woman out with so I could drag her into a cave the other day and the jeweller called me a “fucking rapist” and then went bright red and buried her face in her arms when I called her out on it.

She’s pretty hot.

[Sepholio]

Rewatching Preacher because it's one of my favorite comfort shows. So good.

[Lock Jaw]

Ohhhh yeah... forgot that show existed.... had it all on my DVR.... watched the first season and then my DVR died and I lost it all and forgot about it....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I finally got round to watching the 1985 drama series, Edge of Darkness.

It is about a Yorkshire policeman who investigates the death of his daughter, who is murdered in front of him, which he finds is part of a wider conspiracy involving nuclear waste and the illegal manufacturing of plutonium.

For an 80's series, it is weighty and fairly complex, and it is also somewhat grim and moody. The lead actor, Bob Peck, is fantastic and I'm not sure why he didn't go on to be a star either in British TV or film (though granted, he died of cancer in 1999). Joanne Whalley and Joe Don Baker are also highlights in the show.

I'm not sure if I would put it up there with Brideshead Revisited or The Jewel in the Crown, which are the shows all other 80's productions are judged against, but it is definitely knocking at the door.

[XL]

Whatched the first episode of Pam & Tommy. Pretty decent with a stellar cast.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’ve been going through Everybody Loves Raymond and to be honest it must be the greatest family comedy ever made.
I cannot name one that comes close.

[Seanny One Ball]

I laugh out loud at every stupid joke that the show makes.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The show definitely holds up.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I rewatched Raymond and was shocked how much I enjoyed it. The cast is so strong, and really brings the material up a notch.

[weather vane]

ELR is awesome.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished the first season of The Black List. It's an above-average show that is taken up a notch by James Spader's performance.

[Lengua]

I haven't dived through this thread but I highly recommend Tacoma FD. Easy watch comedy. Great for when you just want to turn your brain off and chill. From two of the guys in Super ztroopers.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished the first season of Reacher. I watched it across a couple of days.

I've never read the books, but it seemed more convincing than the Tom Cruise films.

[Seanny One Ball]

Yeah I finished it today too.

The violence was pretty note-perfect. He actually fights just like he does in the books which really caught me off guard and impressed me. The dialogue is pretty basic, hokey stuff but admittedly Alan Ritchson was just a perfect choice for the role with his ability to look so sincere no matter how ludicrous the scenario.
Hopefully they do a few more because this will have an audience after the Tom Cruise version. It’s far more in line with the writing and there’s no metaphor in his size, he really is an unstoppable force.

It’s good for what it is, but it isn’t doing anything new by any means.

[drave]

Saw Alan Ritchson and now I miss Alan Rickman :(

Loving Peacemaker

[Lock Jaw]

Been binging Arcane on Netflix today to take my mind off being under the weather.... started slow but turning out pretty good... all drawn into this world now and stuff....

[Lock Jaw]

Finished the last episode of Arcane.... damn.... want more....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

It is fucking awesome.

[Seanny One Ball]

The Curse was a hilarious wee comedy mini-series just released. I loved it.
1883 is coming to a hell of a climax...
Peacemaker is typical James Gunn brilliance, an effort to appear effortless. It is the benchmark of brilliance in superhero tv.
Snowpiercer is back and bringing the fantasy of science back to life.
Westworld season 3 is “tits”...

[Bad News Gertner]

1000 lbs Sisters. I'm addicted.

[Fignuts]

Finished the last episode of Arcane.... damn.... want more....

It is fucking awesome.

It's so great. Looking at the league of legends character page, it looks like this is just one small corner of this universe, so if they can keep up this level of quality with other stories in the franchise, it's going to be incredible.

[Lock Jaw]

Watching "Murderville" on Netflix.... Will Arnett is always great....

Partners with a different "celebrity" every episode to "solve a murder"... the celebrities don't have a script and it is all improv...

Just watched episode where his partner was Kumail Nanjiani and gotta say that Kumail was super terrible at it.... like "refused" to go along with the improv a lot of the time, and continually just broke and cracked up...... episode before had "Marshawn Lynch" who is apparently some sort of football player I guess, and he was better at it than the professional actor....

Will Arnett still makes it enjoyable though....

Cobra Kai season 4

Cobra Kai season 4

Yes please.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished watching Sharp Objects; a limited HBO drama starring Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson. The story revolves around Adams' character returning to her home town to report on the murder of two young girls. A secondary theme examines her troubled relationship with her mother, and unresolved issues surrounding the death of one of her younger sisters, which plays into the main story arc.

There is an unsettling feel throughout the series, and the story develops very slowly, but I also found myself rather drawn into it as well. If you are patient, I think you will dig it.

The UK version is far, far better.

Murderville is an embarrassment to the franchise. It’s not even real improv and they’re using the wrong sort of celebrity. You want reality TV stars and TV presenters, not film stars and comedians, they try to take over. The UK version is almost entirely unscripted, they just run with a plot outline and improvise the entire show. It’s classic. That they fucked up the US version is pretty incredible given how ludicrously cheap the original must have been to make.

[Lock Jaw]

Read the Wiki of the original UK version and it said that it is half about actors playing versions of celebrities and that sounds hellish.....

[Seanny One Ball]

They are comedians and comic actors doing farcical impressions. Simon Cowell is the Mayor or something. It is high level shit when it gets going.

[Seanny One Ball]

Murder In Successville wasn’t just about improv, it was about improv in a ridiculous environment wherein a town is run by celebrities in positions of power and people keep dying in nutty ways.

The corpsing was part of the charm, North America gets that so badly wrong with its adaptations... you are heathens with regard to comic subtlety.

[Seanny One Ball]

Peacemaker ended as brilliantly as it began, and must be the most outright enjoyable DC production ever made. That was pure entertainment from top to bottom and it blended genres beautifully.
The Nolan Batman films are the best action DC has ever produced, Joker was the best drama, The Suicide Squad has to be the best comedy and Shazam! is the best offering for kids but this is the best overall. I really do love James Gunn.

I feel like Gunn is the director Josh Whedon was supposed to be.

[Seanny One Ball]

It’s a shame Ricky Gervais won’t say that at the Golden Globes really

[Sepholio]

Watched Ozark. Man they need to hurry up and drop the second half of the final season. These hos left me hanging.

Might have to watch Euphoria based on GDs reaction post there. I love fucked up TV.

[drave]

Y'all see the last episode of Arthur. Pretty good.

[GD]

Completed WandaVision, What If...?, and Hawkeye.

Caught up with Euphoria.

[Lock Jaw]

Why didn't anyone tell me a new season of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel had started.... Will watch it later once the sun goes down a bit...

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the first new episode... fantastic...

[GD]

@nice Lock Jaw

[Lock Jaw]

Forgot how stellar the whole cast is.... watched the first two episodes.... two more out, will watch tomorrow maybe

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Exceptional show (Miss Maisel). Hard to imagine that it's the same writer/creator/showrunner as Gilmore Girls (though it's easy to believe when you notice the rhythmic, pitter-patter nature of the dialogue.)

[Triple A]

Tried to watch 2 episodes of the show "Banshee" cause I heard somewhere that it was "great" but it sucks dick... terrible USA Network level show...

[Bad News Gertner]

Been throwing on old episodes of Corner Gas. Love that show.

[Lock Jaw]

Found it hit and miss... some eps I really liked and others were meh....

Only seen like two episodes of the animated one... just wasn't the same...

Covered an graduation ceremony where Eric Peterson got an honourary degree and said words to the graduates... kept waiting for him to call them jackasses but he did not...

[Bad News Gertner]

Yeah the animated show isn't very good. I watched the movie and it was sad seeing Emma (Janet Wright) on a scooter. She passed away shortly after.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished the first season of Mayor of Kingstown.

I enjoy Taylor Sheridan's ability to create shows that are full of arsehole characters that are also very watchable.

Once the final episode is out (tomorrow), I will watch another Sheridan show: 1883.

[Seanny One Ball]

Taylor Sheridan is writing and producing more prestigious dramatic entertainment than anybody else in America right now.
He is a franchise unto himself. The natural, sane successor to Frank Darabont.

[Seanny One Ball]

1883 is one of the best Westerns I have ever seen, and I love me a Western.
At first the airy ethereal narration seems a hinderance until you realise that without it the show would be far too grim and gritty.
The daughter is incredibly beautiful, reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I watched the first episode of 1883, and I want more.

[Seanny One Ball]

Mate it gets even better if you can actually believe it.
I mean the first episode is stuffed with goodies but the season itself is basically an excuse for Sam Elliot to do fucking incredible monologues every other episode.

4/4

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Watched episodes 2 and 3 of 1883.

Goddamn, this is some top drawer television. I'm loving all of it.

[Seanny One Ball]

Wait til you get to the speech about chopping down trees with gunfire

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Watching "Murderville" on Netflix.... Will Arnett is always great....

Partners with a different "celebrity" every episode to "solve a murder"... the celebrities don't have a script and it is all improv...

Just watched episode where his partner was Kumail Nanjiani and gotta say that Kumail was super terrible at it.... like "refused" to go along with the improv a lot of the time, and continually just broke and cracked up...... episode before had "Marshawn Lynch" who is apparently some sort of football player I guess, and he was better at it than the professional actor....

Will Arnett still makes it enjoyable though....

Wasn't terrible. A quick watch and somewhat forgettable.

[Triple A]

Righteous Gemstones season 2 so funny... great show, highly recommended,

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Just started Raised By Wolves season 2. Really captivating show. Hate the theme song with a passion, though.

[GD]

Started watching Peacemaker. John Cena is such a strange fella.

[Seanny One Ball]

1883 wrapped up and it’s just fucking beautiful.

[Seanny One Ball]

Tim McGraw is so cool.

I’m going to listen to some of his music and hope it also rules.

[ron the dial]

i was a huge fan of "don't take the girl" in 1994. i can't speak to much more than that.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

1883 wrapped up and it’s just fucking beautiful.

Watching the final episode tomorrow, and then I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.

[Seanny One Ball]

Cry probably.

It’s a heavy one. I mean it.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’ll have to watch Yellowstone now but that was absolutely, far and away the most enjoyable Western tv series I have ever seen.
Brilliant.

[OssMan]

Righteous gemstones is funny but nothing will top vice principals...

[Triple A]

Might rewatch that, remember it being so funny...

[AguileraSZN]

Police Interceptors on 5 Action

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

1883

The show is so goddamn bleak, but it is bloody beautiful at the same time (and not just because Isabel May is ridiculously pretty).

The show is top-drawer. I've read that more episodes are going to be made, but I hope they don't. They should let that series stand as it is: as a testament of how good television can be.

[Seanny One Ball]

Absolutely.

They should leave that as a one-off. It deserves to stay perfect forever.

[Triple A]

never heard of it, might check it out... seems highly regarded

[Tom Guycott]

Tried to watch 2 episodes of the show "Banshee" cause I heard somewhere that it was "great" but it sucks dick... terrible USA Network level show...

It's good on the whole, but in a weird way. The overall story starts going wayyyy off the rails - especially in the final season - but individually, the characters are great. Like, every single primary character could hold up their own spin-off series centered entirely around them (especially Job or Kurt), but Banshee itself doesn't focus enough on any of them collectively to just tell the story it is supposed to be telling.

[Tom Guycott]

Tim McGraw is so cool.

I’m going to listen to some of his music and hope it also rules.

How good can music by a former professional baseball pitcher be?

[GD]

Peacemaker has been very enjoyable so far and it's done a great job of accentuating Cena's goofy sense of humor.

[Seanny One Ball]

Banshee was incredible.
A truly excellent action serial.

[GD]

Done with Peacemaker.

Will need something new to fill the void

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Watching Wu-Tang: An American Saga. Mostly as a background show. Good fun.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the finale of Batwoman S3.... I've come to actually like the show a lot after they replaced the main character.....

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the finale of Legends of Tomorrow S7.... still a good show, not as good as it used to be, and getting worse every season as they lose characters....

Damn at losing Nate in the finale.... When Booster Gold showed up I was happy cause I thought they were adding another male character back to the show, and that him and Nate could have a good dynamic in the next season if gets renewed.... Still interested in seeing more of Booster in a potential next season I guess, but not happy at averaging losing a beloved cast member every new season....

We'll see if it gets renewed.... I always think it is a small miracle that it has made it as far as it has....

[GD]

Considering watching that Jason Bateman Netflix show…looks promising

[drave]

Ozark?


Fuckin do it.

[weather vane]

New South Park episode was tremendous.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Done with Peacemaker.

Will need something new to fill the void

If you haven't already, watch 1883.

[Seanny One Ball]

Did you seriously just tell Dave to watch the bleakest, saddest Western the market has offered in decades?

You’ll send him on a fucking bender.

[Seanny One Ball]

It is great TV but it is deliberately beautiful and then horrific in such brilliant quantities that you have to admire it.
It’s written with love and real understanding of how episodic writing should be done.

That daughter was so purrty…

[drave]

spoilers, SOB

[Seanny One Ball]

I’ll spoil your fucking face in a minute.

[GD]

...and eat McDonalds while doing so.

[Seanny One Ball]

Schitt’s Creek grabbed me forever when Moira Rose did the fruit wine commercial.
That is genuinely brilliant comedy. Catherine O’Hara is an improv God though so what did I expect. Her and Eugene Levy together in Christopher Guest films always feels like cheating. It’s a guaranteed laugh every single time.

I’m fucking angry at myself, Supreme.

What was I afraid of?

[Seanny One Ball]

You don’t always have to give the world proof that you are bad at everything, Dave.

To be fair, the show's hella gay.

People are turned off by Dan Levy because he’s “a bit much” but everything else in the show is A+ stuff.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

People are turned off by Dan Levy because he’s “a bit much” but everything else in the show is A+ stuff.

Dan is pretty damned funny. COME ON.

[Seanny One Ball]

He’s right though.

Obviously now I realise Dan Levy is a comedic genius just like his father but at first, he put me off the show.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He's such a great butt-of-the-joke character.

[Seanny One Ball]

That’s a bigoted remark about a Gaiman.

[Seanny One Ball]

Eugene Levy’s speech in the restaurant at the end of season two is beautiful man.
Funny stuff with a big heart.

It’s all coming together.
I bet season 3 is even better.

This is now up there with The Office. I’m saying it.
It has big fucking balls for a comedy that looks safe.
There’s an episode about how nude leaks are a good thing(but only if you are old and the nudes are really too class from your younger years).

Smart, excellent performance comedy.

[Seanny One Ball]

All down to two anchoring performances by the best two improv-comics in the game.

[Seanny One Ball]

Season three is great. Typical.

The best part so far is the bad motel review episode. That’s just gravy all over my mashed potatoes.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Chris Elliott are all time comedic talents. But what really sets this show over the top are that the rest of the ensemble is great too.

[OssMan]

Righteous Gemstones is good... that guy has played the same character in like 3 straight shows though and I think at this point they've gotta move away from saying stuff like "doing jackoffs" even though it's funny

[Seanny One Ball]

Danny McBride was funny for a while but he’s essentially what you get when a Rob Riggle or David Koechner gets put in the starring role.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’m going to give Doom Patrol a proper go.
Starting from the beginning again.

Tudyk deserve it.

[Lock Jaw]

Ohhhhh yeah, I still need to finish S3

[Seanny One Ball]

It’s pretty good but it’s very loud and the tone still doesn’t sit right with me.
It should either be a lot more or a lot less silly. It swings between cheesy comedy and mediocre drama too often for any of the darker parts to shine through properly.

[Seanny One Ball]

Grant Morrison using “They” pronouns now. Singular but still queer. He was always a creep anyway, wee magical fanny.

[Seanny One Ball]

It would be funny if he transitioned just so the Wachowski’s could finally say he stole one of their ideas.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished Peacemaker. Along with Gunn's Suicide Squad, it is the best thing DC has put out in some time (I haven't watched the new Batman film, yet, so my opinion might change). Saying that, I did find the occasional identity politics nonsense a bit grating.

I have also been rewatching the first season of West Wing. I always forget how snappy the script was, especially in the early seasons. I'd also forgotten how preachy it could be, as well, but its fairly lightweight compared to what they peddle today.

[Lock Jaw]

It was added to Disney+ and I had nothing better to do so I watched the first two episode of "How I Met Your Father" and damn, is it ever terrible.....

[Seanny One Ball]

On to season 3 of Doom Patrol.

I’m glad I stuck with this. I just wish season one and three were half as good as season two. Season two is so fantastic that it made me re-think Grant Morrison. Maybe he is a creepy weirdo but which comic book guy isn’t?! Danny The Street ffs… Now that is funky shit. I pretty much just loved the character Dorothy so much that it made the show brilliant to me. That character’s interactions with the people and world around her should have been the main focus of the show from the start. Also she looks more canine than an ape.

Still, easily the best emotive character and performance in the show. She’s great.

[Seanny One Ball]

Hang on…

What age do girls first get their periods?

The show says she’s 100 or thereabouts… in dog years she’d be 14.

What is the exchange rate for apes?

I am onto something I think….

[Sepholio]

What you drinking tonight Seanny?

I'm watching Stargate SG-1 again. Just came across recommended on Netflix randomly and tempted me. I couldn't say no.

[Seanny One Ball]

Don’t encourage me

[ron the dial]

watching through monk for the first time. tony shalhoub is brilliant at delivering everything. i also love that the show will let a joke sit and linger way past the point of comfort sometimes. ALSO a completely insane guest spot by korn in an episode that i still am convinced i hallucinated.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the first episode of The Boys: Diabolical.... was pretty good... like Looney Tunes but if the violence actually had gruesome consequences

[Lock Jaw]

Episode 4 like a mini Black Mirror episode....

[Lock Jaw]

Was only intending to watch 1 or 2 and go to bed but ended up watching all 8 episodes... whoops....

[Triple A]

Watching Mad Men for the first time... in the middle of season 4, enjoying it

Feel like season 1 was "not that good" but the show has gotten way better in season 3 and 4 especially

Much less Betty Draper now is good... boring / unlikeable character when there was so much focus on her...

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, always hear that about Mad Men.... I tried to watch it once "back in the day"... watched the first two or three episodes or something.... but I was just coming off of Breaking Bad which was like "wow, this has me hooked from episode 1", so I wasn't really feeling having to deal with Mad Men "slowly getting better".....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've watched the first episode of Star Trek Discovery's season 4, and I don't think I can continue. The Burnham character is so smug and sanctimonious that I want to put myself head first through a triple-glazed window. Not even Captain Janeway made me feel like that.

I want Strange New Worlds to be great, but I can't shake the feeling it is going to be a shitshow like Discovery and Picard. It might be time to step away from ST for the next decade or so.

I think I will watch the second season of Raised by Wolves instead; I might rewatch the first season beforehand.

[drave]

Yeah, bailed on Discovery mid way through S2.

[GD]

Seinfeld

[Lock Jaw]

Never even started S2 of Discovery.....

Have S2 of Picard waiting on my DVR but dunno....

[Seanny One Ball]

Watch “Our Flag Means Death”.

Taika Waititi plays Blackbeard and Rhys Darby plays Stede Bonnet the Gentleman Pirate. It’s a pirate comedy loosely based on real life and it’s pretty good. It’s not close to Taika’s directorial output but it is good use of him as an actor. He really kicks it up a notch in terms of credibility.

[Fignuts]

Winning Time on hbo

Dramatization of the rise of the Lakers dynasty. 4th wall breaking threw me off at first but its grown on me. Helps that they do it a lot less than the first episode.

[Seanny One Ball]

The guy playing Magic is honestly his double.

Incredible likeness.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Winning Time on hbo

Dramatization of the rise of the Lakers dynasty. 4th wall breaking threw me off at first but its grown on me. Helps that they do it a lot less than the first episode.

Yeah I'm guessing they needed all the 4th wall exposition to lay the groundwork.

Great show. A lot of fun.

[Lock Jaw]

Watched the first episode of the new Atlanta season. What a weird-ass episode to start with after 3 years.

[Lock Jaw]

Second episode less weird. At least the characters were in it.

[slik]

The Thing About Pam (on both Peacock and Hulu)

Probably one of my favorite series of 2022 so far. Series is based on absolutely nuts true story about a murder in small town Missouri. Funny, shocking, fast-paced. Great cast. Renee Zellwegger and Josh Duhamel are fantastic. Highly recommend it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Re: Winning Time

Wood Harris as Spencer Haywood made my day. Just a gangsta I suppose.

[Fignuts]

Loved the stuff with Magic and Kareem as well. Great episode.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Loved the stuff with Magic and Kareem as well. Great episode.

Yep it was excellent. Liked the show from the beginning but it’s finding it’s stride. I know the hyper nuances of the characters aren’t exactly true to life, but even the broad strokes of the story being true is kind of wild.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Watching old episodes of the Critic and am reminded of how great the opening theme is.

More songs should feature the clarinet.

[Destor]

better call saul s5 finally hit netflix. suoer hyped.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

As we get deeper into Winning Time, I'm really feeling the portrayal of Magic by the actor and writers. He's very likable and a clear protagonist, but also a total creep.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Also, Adrian Brody has been low-key really good as Pat Riley.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Also Norm Nixon's son Davon is playing him. Cool.

Fucking AMAZING

[Jordan]

Just finished The Last Kingdom on Netflix. I was struggling to find the interest to watch this but I am so glad that I did. It took about 3 episodes before I realized this show could actually be "better than Game of Thrones". Then it wasn't before the season ended where I was like like "yup this is my show now".

If you haven't seen it and you like sword shows, this is a must see. Like GOT but without dragons and magic, and more likeable characters and better acting and writing.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Just started We Own This City. Was dope.

[Seanny One Ball]

As we get deeper into Winning Time, I'm really feeling the portrayal of Magic by the actor and writers. He's very likable and a clear protagonist, but also a total creep.

I’m all caught up.

There’s a moment in one of the more recent episodes that gives the car window scene in Hereditary a run for it’s money.

It was probably worse actually, so freaking grim.

The impact was heavy but the slide…

[Seanny One Ball]

Watched “They Call Me Magic” and it’s a great companion piece.

I find it weird seeing a man talk openly about cheating on his missus like that.
Pretty decent ball player though.
