What TV series are you watching at moment?

rewatching The Tatami Galaxy... /10

his monologues are so fast that this time I'm playing it using vlc but reduced the speed by 20% (yes I refuse to watch dubbed anime)... you can tell there's a bit of time stretch in the audio but you get used to it pretty quick...

Looks like it was maybe an April Fool’s

Wife and I just finished it. Was mostly entertaining, but felt kinda forced and thin at times.

[Kennylogg Bubblebath]

the gentleman was a bit meh.

guy ritchie hasn't made anything worthwhile for over two decades now.

Fallout only got stronger as it went on. Just watched all 4 of the new Conan O’Brien Must Go episodes on MAX. He travels to 4 different countries (Norway, Argentina, Thailand and Ireland) and makes an ass of himself and his fans in the process. The last 2 episodes were the best imo but all were fun.

Curious to see this one, Network launches April 30 on streaming devices

Shogun. Love it. Very good acting. Mariko-sama's beauty is depressing. 

Had to stop watching Fallout with my wife because she doesn't get the vibes, she is an oldskool 50+ gamer hater.

been watching the new conan show, which is good. finished shogun which was amazing. i'd like to see fallout but i dont have prime. i havent played the game either, may start there

[Hail Sagan]

Halfway through Shogun off the recommendations in this thread. I thought Fallout would end up being my series of the year but this is feeling like some GOT-caliber material. 

[Rubin Farr]

Anyone watching The Sandman spin-off?

Shogun is on my to watch list. Excited for that one.

Just started watching the Netflix version of 3 Body Problem - it's looking pretty good three episodes in. Haven't read the book so no comparison yet, but heard it's quite different.

Not yet but Neil Gaiman seems to be extremely positive about it so that's a good sign.

[Crazing]

Shogun is episode after episode of sexual tension. 

Also really good.

I saw a clip of Fallout - the one where Walton Goggins is explaining to the little girl how to judge the severity of a nuclear attack by using your fingers, right before the bombs drop lol - and that did not look encouraging to me. pretty dumb scene, as if they didn't know looking directly at a nuclear blast at that range would likely blind you immediately.

so you guys are saying it's worth a go?

True Detective s4: Night Country. more like Shite Country.

I tried watching this when it first came out and only made it 30 minutes in. now I've grit my teeth and started getting through it but it's really punishing me, I just quit halfway through the fourth episode and idk if I can go back. it's like eating a meal that is becoming increasingly rancid as you eat it. so much wrong with it. the new showrunner is a fucking hack, removing everything that made the show unique and interesting and replacing it with shitty Guillermo del Toro horror flick tropes. nothing is engaging, there are no hooks for the show to put in you, the music choices fucking suck (fuck Billie Eilish, the most vapid no-soul manufactured pop sensation out atm), there are weird random tonal shifts aping K-horror (which I can't stand most of the time), and the lame hamfisting of 'feminist' overtones (nothing to do with real feminism, literally just "men bad" slop for groveling critics and dumb Marvelbrain viewers to eat up) has absolutely no point.

for example, if the point of Jodie Foster/Danvers being annoying and generally dislikeable was to act as a counterpoint or parallel to men throwing their chauvinist weight around in similar positions of power or law enforcement, then said point is completely lost because nothing worthwhile is done with it. she is dislikeable just for the sake of being dislikeable. there is no grander meaning or message relating to her character or women in general or any sort of social or philosophical concept. in s1, Woody Harrelson/Marty was a walking sham and a philanderer, and while this was portrayed sort of glamorously initially with all those sex scenes etc, he ultimately paid a terrible price for it, as seen when he's finally sitting around in an empty house eating a shitty tv dinner by himself. that scene resonated, it drove something home, the idea that there is something deep-rooted in the man with authority, gnawing at him and driving him to ruin. I doubt there is any sort of skilful weaving together of ideas like that in the two and half episodes of this shit that I have yet to see.

I like Kali Reis/Navarro. she's done really well for someone with no acting background. that is literally it.

so much could have been done here. the setting itself provided an excellent opportunity for powerful storytelling. what a waste. and they've handed Issa Lopez the reins for a fifth season. TD is over. Nic Pizzolatto dissing this season himself is a lol. should've just broken away as a new show rather than assuming the TD mantle.

You do have a suspend belief a fair bit, that's the Fallout universe. But very entertaining.

Yeah great documentary series

[GORDO]

Been watching shogun, am i too impatient or does the latter half kinda drag a bunch

[cruising for burgers]

the curse - so many definitely unintentional mr. oizo vibez on this... couldn't stick up with that nathan 4 u show but this is quite unique... uncomfortable af with some great laughs along the way... him & safdie did a great job... most helpful review on imdb is a 1/10 but I guess that person is missing the point? but you're missing the point sounds so condescendent... there's no point, I like how it makes me feel... ost is pretty good 2 and it really matches the dreadful paranoia... that melting logo is bonkers as well... I definitely don't recommend it to anyone... pls, don't watch it, for your own sake...
