Before re-starting Voyager Season 1, I did watch the 2 parter Future's End the other night. I forgot how good some of the Voyager episodes could be, and that ep was easily up there with the other series. Love a bit of temporal prime directive shenanigans, and capitalism is bad, bad dudes. 

ah yes- the one where tuvok sports a durag to fit into the santa monica culture and janeway wears her iconic white suit with shoulder pads. the two parter episodes were always nice highlights eg: year of hell and workforce. i also loved the introduction of the hirogen later in the series, though it's a little similar to something else in sci-fi

Bluey, it's set in my city 

my son loves that one. I like that they actually mix in a bit of dry humor from the dad dog, which parents easily catch but kids don't really pick up on.

[Stickfigger 1264]

Yeah it's an instructional series for parents that is entertaining for kids

How did they manage to make Moonbase 8 so unfunny?

Man we really are living in such a good fuckin time for dramatic tv huh. Breaking bad, sopranos, better call saul, atlanta, and probably more that im forgetting.

succession, Barry, my brilliant friend, high maintenance!

Just binged Santa Clarita Diet and I gotta say it was hilarious. Just here to comment that a lot of people seem to be upset that it got cancelled, especially because of "that thing that happens at the end of the last episode" (had this carelessly spoiled for me and wouldn't want to do the same for others).  And I get that, but honestly, they actually wrapped up pretty much all the other storylines quite nicely by that point. Sure there are a few unanswered questions but I'm not that disappointed by its cancelation. Consider all the other shows that drag on a few seasons too long and strain to stay interesting.

There are too many characters in S4, it's well made, acting and writing good, but a bit too much stuff crammed in there.

One episode left and I have to agree. Some of the well-know Fargo weirdness, but too many characters to the extent that I have to check out IMDB during episodes to remember what character they are talking about.

lol yeah I agree. the show is at its best when the focus is narrower. my favorite episode this season was the one in black and white since it was a vignette focused in on just a few specific characters.

I'm watching Bake Off, mainly as I ♥️ cake wrecks. These are all meant to be celebrities. Just glorious. (Yes that's Bowie)

So I'm on season 2 of The Boys, and I'm enjoying it, but goddamn it makes me triggered-me-timbers. Antony Starr really does a great job of making me hate him.

I finished season 2 last night, after Amazon gave me another month of prime for free.  End of episode 7 is a real head banger!

Yeah, he is very hateable! Great series though.  Hope s3 arrives at some point, they seemed to wrap a lot of stuff up but there are plenty of obvious jumping points for the next iteration.

Big Mouth season 4 is out mutha fuckassssssss

[kieselguhr kid 267]

 

would be nice to rewatch MILLENNIUM; loved that show back then but couldn't find it online yet. (not that i searched to hard tbh, i'm lazy.)

so right now it's succession, bojack, atlanta, curb your enthusiasm & better call saul i enjoy most.

[Nebraska 1947]

of all the cults i've heard about, this one has to be one of the most bizarre and this is a great deep dive in who and what exactly these guys were all about.

depressingly good

This ranges from some decent writing and titillation, to Melrose Place quality melodrama with that bizarre Tyler Perry type Georgia drawl similar to Cardi B’s antics, and lots of tattooed asses. Ymmv

[Nebraska 1947]

^^^ sounds fascinating.

this is a mess. firstly: terrible casting.  whoopi goldberg as mother abagail comes off like an even more useless guinan. second, the show jumps back and forth through the timeline that makes for an incredibly frustrating watch made even worse by the fact that they missed one of the most important parts: the spread of captain trips. 

imo- this is almost like a summary of the story done for a youtube audience with acting rather than narration.

So... a couple of days ago someone at my house had the brilliant idea to suggest to watch the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (reboot of Sabrina the Teenage Witch / adaptation of the Archie comic book series)
Well, with great regret over the many painful horrible hours this thing cost me I can tell you:
DO NOT WATCH IT under any circumstances!
That's all.
Be warned.

Been over 3 years since I last watched Breaking Bad so it's about time I give it yet another watch.

this is a total FWP that I occasionally grapple with. should I re-watch show X, or dive in to new show Y. I probably end up spending way too much time thinking about this, as opposed to just pulling the trigger and doing one or the other.

but yeah, BB is definitely one of those shows that is on my "have yet to re-watch" list.

Finished The Third Day... Strong Midsommar nod mixed with some BBC UK drama thing ... Lots of close ups of Jude Law frowning ...psychedelic tropes ... It was just ok

Took one episode length equivalent of my life away forever but it has ended there.

Anyway, late to the party and watching raised by wolves now, seems all right and 4 episodes in, I will take a maniacal AI over religion 24/7.

Tried  mandalorian 2 but it seems it is more of the same: go to a planet, find a village, aww baby yoda, befriend a random character, kill a monster together, aww baby yoda, learn that it needs to be done again on a different planet, rinse and repeat. It is a for loop with variable skins really.
