What TV series are you watching at moment?

[zero]

 

watched a few of these yesterday...some good, some bad. really liked "the house and the head," reminded me of an old twilight zone episode. didn't like stephen king's "grey matter," thought it completely wasted Giancarlo Esposito & Tobin Bell's acting talents.

Just starting the BBC version of The War of the Worlds.

How is it?

I am watching a BBC documentary series called The Death of Yugoslavia. It's pretty wild watching interviews with all the main players in 1995, before the Balkans had even finished tearing themselves apart.

tried watching this and was just bored. the first story with the kid constantly calling his father "daddy" was awkward.

this show is just as bad as that film with will smith and his son on a futuristic but prehistoric-like-earth.

Probly the best TV show of all time.  Happy 60th.

Just started watching The Tick which started up on Amazon Prime.

Actually not too bad for what it is.  Used to be a fan of the cartoon back in the day.

Finished up Preacher, really good finale. Only issue was that it was obvious they had to squish 2 seasons worth of material into 1.

Its the new one with Peter Serafinowicz, I see it was also cancelled after 2 series.

 

ffs

I'm ok with shows getting killed after one or two seasons, most of the time they've played their hand by then. The tick was fun while it lasted.

Background resource for Watchmen series, similar to glossary pages from the graphic novel:

latest watchmen episode was pretty shit, worst one so far. the whole phone booth 'joke' thing was some truly appalling writing. pacing of the show isn't good either, too slow.

i've always loved a lot of adult swim shows and am ashamed to say i just discovered Joe Pera. diving into the 10 episodes.

John Oliver's parody of Ken Burns this week was hilarious.

[Nebraska]

this was interesting. only knew about this guy from nazi hunters so it was interesting getting something a little more detailed

been rewatching Peep Show over the last few weeks, on season 5 now. Feel like they really found their footing in season 4, although I enjoy even the earliest episodes. What a brilliant show! Super Hans is the man.

mark's stag punting is the best episode. and then the wedding

[Guest]

I like the one where Jeremy eats the dog.

It's one of those rare shows where there really isn't a bad episode.

The wedding may be my favourite comedy episode of anything. The sheer desperation of Mark at the end is oddly exhilarating. “Someone save me! Jeremy? Space men?”.

New Rick and Morty was enjoyable, you can watch it for free on Adult Swim's website. https://www.adultswim.com/videos/rick-and-morty/edge-of-tomorty-rick-die-rickpeat

 

Oh, and Watchmen show is interesting, especially Ozymandias/Jeremy Irons. It's definitely a slow burn so far. Supposedly it's only going to be 9 episodes, and I've watched the first 3 and feel like not all that much has happened. Still interesting so far, but not really decided if I like it.

I'm watching Swamp thing for some reason. There's some decent body horror in the first episode, hope it holds up.

[Rubin Farr]

Unless you're dying to see the lastest live action remake of Lady & the Tramp, I'd suggest waiting for the rest of The Mandalorian episodes to go up before paying for Disney+  , new content is pretty slim at launch.

[MaartenVC]

Watching Silicon Valley

Really love it.

For some reason I thought I could rewatch all of Welcome to the NHK without feeling immensely sad at the changes in my life and the memories I can never relive.  In other words, I made a mistake.
