TV Shows What are you currently watching?

Just finished season 2.

Loved it even more than the first tbh and that got me hooked.

 

Black Doves first episode.

Honestly, Keira Knightley usually instills an instant memory of Jimmy Hill and Brucie whenever I see her face as she's usually pulling sone sort of weird grin in her parts but, I must say, I'm quite liking her in this role

I'll certainly watch the other 5 (?) episodes, it could have legs

E: Watched a few of them now actually, more engrossing than I expected

 

Doom patrol. on series four and I am still waiting for it to 'start'. I only watched this far because Michelle Gomez is in it. Its ok but bloody hell its miserable.

 

Halo

Watched the first episode, and if it wasn't for the fact I must go to bed, I would've started immediately on the second. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

 

Watched it on Paramount, thought it was decent Sci fi thing, I'm not a Halo gaming fan, so had no Halo expectations.

 

Just finished Series 1 of Severance and also watching Prime Target
Severance was quite disturbing and I did wonder at a few points whether this was worth persevering with.

Apparently they spent $200M filming series 2, so it'll be interesting to see what they spent it on.

I guess there was a lot of CGI and green screen stuff in series 1, some of it feeling really odd and disturbing, what they were aiming for I suppose

 

When the stars gossip 7/10

according to the mrs we watch way too much violent action flicks so we all had sit through this korean rom/com/drama pretty good considering what it is if only if it was that easy to be an astronaut and live in space

 

Not very far, unfortunately. They cancelled it after season 2.

 

with good reason they pretty much said meh to the lore and dit something that was not halo at all

 

Daughter told me to watch Lucifer omgg it so good.

 

Oh, that's a shame. I've watched three episodes of season one now and am really enjoying it.

Well, I've started, so I'll finish.

 

Same. I wasn't all that invested in the Halo games, so I didn't immediately hate on it for supposedly breaking canon; although I did see a fair bit of that online.

I quite enjoyed it.

 

Started watching Manifest. Pretty darn good so far, nearing the last few episodes of season 1. I wonder if one of the writers/producers liked the "Don't Blink" episode of Dr Who?

 

Yellowstone

About four episodes in and am loving it. On a completely unrelated note, I now want to become a cowboy.

 

In no particular order, I have watched in the last month:

Agatha All Along
Avenue 5
Blackadder S1-4
House of the Dragon S1 & 2
ST: Picard S1
Lower Decks S1-3

 

Got Apple TV for a bit so watched Silo S2 and we're currently partway through Slow Horses S4, also joined ITVX to rewatch The Good Life.

 

This city is ours. Binged the lot in a day.

I watched through the whole series before and I'm rewatching now. In watching it again, Dan Harmon's fingerprints are very visible and you can see lots of little seeds of ideas that wouldn't produce fruit until Rick and Morty.

It struck me in this current watch that the show is in the style of a Nickelodeon sitcom for kids, but made for adults. Writing jokes comes first and characters will betray themselves slightly in service of a joke meant only for the audience but which is ignored by the other characters.

It's a love letter to genre. Episodes will often homage other films and TV, with all of the tropes on full, loving display. Abed's character really shines. He's a dude on the spectrum. Visibility for autism has really grown in the past fifteen years since the show first aired. It feels very ahead of its time in that regard and the additional knowledge about autism highlights how well Abed's character was written. He's the main character, obviously. It's not Jeff.

Huge recommend. The writing is great. The characters are great. You'll very likely enjoy it.

 

100% agree. Although I do enjoy the random, "Me so hungeee" lines from her. She goes from being cute to gross so quickly and it's hilarious.
