Season 1 is a wonderfully funny fish out of water story. It doesnt stay strong but def worth a watch.

Orange is a good show with an absolutely horrible protagonist. Taystee is the main character as I watch it. Red isn't half bad either.

She's a classic narcissist so it's hard to get behind her until she's had her wings clipped right down. It's a brilliantly written show in that it throws you through just about every emotion possible so that even the worst characters are somewhat sympathetic. I think that's the one outstanding similarity it shares with OZ besides the setting.
A perfect example of this is the Amish junkie girl. When you go through her back story her image as an irredeemable baddie is undermined so much so that I remember being quite blown away. Don't even get me started on how well played Pennsatucky's back story is, that's the humdinger of the bunch. I have to admit I haven't seen any since SPOILER: show That crushed me. |

I've got a confession to make, lads, and I'm not proud of it: I'm currently watching the first season of Ally McBeal.
Does this make me as gay, or gayer, than Guru Dave? |

No Ally McBeal was pretty good. Greg Germann is fucking incredible in it, an actor who can play weird as well as anyone.
Also Portia De Rossi is tremendous, but she always is. |

Ahahahahaha Bear Grylls Treasure Island cracks me up. Stick a bunch of greedy, sickly morons on an island with a few robust young whippersnapper and watch as the old ones guilt the others into giving them money.
Now one of the wretched old hags has drank a ton of salt water and predictably been very sick. So the show is now about watching an old gross hag puke bile into the sand. I can honestly say in that situation I would let her die of exposure. |

The best bit is the guy afterwards like "I told her not to drink the salt water, then she drank loads of the salt water and now she is being sick"

Watched the pilot of Batwoman.... would say that it was pretty "not good"..... changed way too much, and I don't buy Ruby Rose as Batwoman or a "leading lady".....
Will naturally still watch it |

I've begun season 3 of Goliath; just from the first episode, it seems like things are going to be taken in a more surreal direction. This may be a good or bad thing, depending on how they pull it off. Billy Bob is always the goods, though.

Currently watching "The End Of The Fucking World", it's strong and shocking but with a warmth that makes it easy to absorb.
Alex Lawther is a brilliant actor, so in tune with his emotions that he reminds me of Andrew Garfield only more neurotic and damaged... so almost Paul Dano. Jessica Barden I had never even seen before but she is incredibly emotionally tactile too. She's beautiful and plays a character that all young men will fall in love with at some point in their lives. Interesting to see how easily this script got the concept of a cool girl that can be tough and attractive without coming off as cunty. Marvel please take note. |

The shoplifting scene and the scene at the petrol station are two that I would use to sell this show to anyone I thought should watch it.

We should try and orchestrate a mass watch of one show so we all can talk about it as it happens.
That would be amazing. |

I'm so happy to watch a show about war that focuses on the stupidity and greed rather than the awful violence. Of course awful violence is used to bring you back to reality but the comedy of bureaucracy is so brilliantly played that you would struggle not to laugh.
So far it's perfect. A film could never tell the story as fully. |

I enjoy The Goldbergs, but feel like it is probably past its "peak" and already reached the downward point where it "stops trying"

The Goldbergs was pretty amazing for two or three seasons. Then the kid hit a growth spurt and went from cute to gangly weirdo overnight.

I have to say I'm massively into this Catch 22 adaptation. It's gloriously paced as a miniseries, every great joke from the book is given time to develop on screen.
These are culturally significant gags, you can hear a Catch 22 reference in your daily life and not even realise it. |

Christopher Abbott as Yossarian is great casting. Yossarian should always be played by somebody who's face asks more questions than it answers.
He has played a serial killer before and his deadpan, stone-face killer vibe was intense("Sweet Virginia") so I'm impressed that his ambiguous look is being used in a role outside of that because he will eventually be type cast. I can see it coming a mile off. |

Arfy Aardvark should have been played differently. He's far too sinister and cold in this. Charles Grodin played him like a wild fraternity boy and that was perfect. You are supposed to be horrified because you like him.

Nearing the end of season 2 of Ally MacBeal; I continue to enjoy it, and I feel no shame. Portia de Rossi is also fine as fuck.
I've finished the third season of Goliath; I think the first season remains the best. I'm also currently rewatching the first two seasons of Into the Badlands before watching the third season, which I haven't seen yet. The fourth season of The Magicians has appeared on Prime, so I'll have to watch that soon as well. |

Sunderland Til I die season 2 is expected to be released on Netflix Feb 2020. If you're even a casual soccer/football fan I highly recommend checking it out. I binged watched season 1 over 1 weekend.

I've begun the third (and sadly the final) season of Into the Badlands. It is some good shit; I hope someone picks it up for a fourth season.
