OT: TV thread

[NeelyDan]

This conversation just triggered a re-watch, be prepared for thematic chirps for a while

Know what would be fascinating? Seeing everyone’s very first posts on the forum

Suits is our current binge. I know we're behind the times, but I had never seen it. Things I like and things I don't but good enough to keep me engaged.

Makes me wonder - what have you all not yet seen, but it's on your list? I need to find a way to watch Letterkenny.

Letterkenny I love, not nearly as much of a fan of Shoresy

Stumbled upon a great Australian drama called Black Snow on Prime I believe but I also have Paramount and AMC connected to it so might also be on there, great show

Been watching Bad Sisters on Apple+.
Very dark comedy. Funny as hell though.

The Garvey sisters are bound together by the premature deaths of their parents and the promises they made to always protect one another.

The main villain, John Paul, I havent hated a character this much since Joffrey Baratheon.

My wife and I really dug that show. We watched because we loved Sharon Horgan from the show Catastrophe. Pretty funny that the sister Becka is Bono's daughter as well.

I lost HBO for a couple years and I was super into Silicon Valley. Funny as hell. I’d like to remember where I left off.

Silicon Valley was one of my favorites. Highly character-driven, Mike Judge is incredibly perceptive, he gets people's quirks and can build characters out of it better than just about anyone in his field. The overarching story of the series was basically a reductive spiral where every season was the exact same formula of the company losing everything and then coming up with some genius idea and getting back on top at the end of the season. But the storyline is not important and is basically a placeholder for the characters to do hilarious things.

Some comedies have one great character, some have two or three. But Silicon Valley had Jared, Jian Yang, Dinesh & Gilfoyle, Russ Hanneman, Peter Gregory, Erlich, etc., all of whom on their own would be the best part of nearly any other show on TV.

But because the story is negligible, it's not a show I would go back and rewatch in full, but I will watch 25 minute youtube montages of the best of each character.

Oh dear, just why? My wife used to watch the original NCIS a bit but I could never get into it. Seems to be one of those series that simply won't die. And now it's here - eeep!

It's like those awful " Real Housewives of.... " shows. It seems like there are about 50 different ones airing these days. Coming this fall - the Real Housewives of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Thanks for the recommendation Wally. Wife and I started watching it this week and we love it......

That show took a colossal nosedive in the last few seasons. I only continued to watch because I hate not completing a TV series once I start. It was painfully bad.

Decided to take the plunge for Paramount Plus last week and finished Season 1 of Picard.

Now a few episodes into Season 2.

I may give Strange New Worlds a go.

Do both! I’m almost finished with Picard and enjoyed Strange New Worlds! That said, I paid for Paramount just for the Star Trek content

All caught up on SNW!

On February 5th, 1969, American TV network ABC premiered the experimental sketch comedy series Turn-On, the first and only American TV series ever to be canceled not just after but during its first episode. By the time it reached the Central time zone, it was already being yanked off the air by outraged affiliate stations and was shortly after buried without a trace by the network.

Until Now.

Lower Decks is a good lighthearted series, if you like Trek. Wasn't a fan of Discovery. SNW is def the best of the current ones.

On a side note, (I'm not a Star Wars person) the fans I work with told me i have to watch Star Wars Clone Wars and Rebels animated series, before I watch Ahsoka. Those series were very good. Took a while to get going but some good character development. Just my opinion.

 

[EvilDead]

The only TV I make time for is Seinfeld reruns or just rewatching it on Netflix.
