Nearing the end of season 2 of Veep, holy shit, the barbs they sling at each other

 

[Peasy]

Veep is so underrated.

One of the best sitcom series out there but its rarely talked about.

American Horror Story is a really mixed bag going forward after the first season. Most of the seasons start off pretty well and then go on a tailspin halfway though.

After watching season 2, I'd say your assessment is spot on. What a mess the last half of it was. Are there any seasons you would recommend watching other than season 1?

Honestly, no. The first season is the only one that's solid all the way through. Some other seasons start off good but turn bad. Some start bad and continue to be bad.

Coven and Freak show are really the only two others that I enjoyed almost all off. I like a lot of the actors in those two seasons as well so that helps.

Appreciate it. I'll probably give Coven a try sometime but I'm in no rush to get to it. I did a Google search and it seems most fans like Coven but Asylum seems to be ranked as one of the better seasons too so my expectations won't be very high.

I didn't care for any other seasons after Season 1 of AHS besides Coven. Really enjoyed it. Great cast with a pretty cool storyline and setting. Was nominated for and won a ton of awards. Really loved Cathy Bates' character especially, she was one of the Emmy winners for that season.

Season 1 of SAS Rogue Heroes was added fairly recently to Prime (in the US). Been wanting to watch it since it premiered on Starz/MGM+ a few years back and boy did it not disappoint. It's about the formation of the SAS in Northern Africa in WWII. But the tone is all modern swaggering smart-assery and attitude (soundtracked with plenty of AC/DC and modern rock). Created and written by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, a bunch of movies including Locke and Eastern Promises), he loves to give his characters big, florid speeches, but I'm a sucker for stuff like that when it's well done. Jack O'Connell, Alfie Allen, Dominic West and Connor Swindells (who I wasn't familiar with prior to this) are the stars.

It's a blast.

Season 2 starts this month, exclusive to Starz/MGM+ I believe, but will make it's way to Prime eventually. I enjoyed it enough that I'm pondering just getting MGM+ for a month once the next season is done and then cancelling.

That's why I didn't get past one episode.

That's what worries me. I generally don't like such anachronisms in period pieces. I'll give it a chance, though.

I get the concern but I think it works well in this case.

Recently watched a couple miniseries. First was Under The Banner of Heaven which I thought was excellent. Good true story detective series involving a murder committed by fanatical mormons. Second one was Devs which I thought was decent but certainly didn't love it. Nick Offerman was really good in it though.

I finally started watching Your Honor. I'm about four episodes into season 2 now. 50% of the time I think this is one of the premier prestige series of recent times, and the other 50% of the time I'm frustrated by how stupid and flat some of these characters are.
