My favorites are definitely (in no particular order) Supernatural, Doctor Who, My Hero Academia, Lucifer (which, dear God, someone please either #savelucifer or #pickuplucifer - and yes, I hate hashtags just as much as anyone, but it gets the message across the web), The Gifted was pretty decent, Cobra Kai was pretty good and seems to have possibility, The Alienist, I've recently gotten into Game of Thrones (and am hoping to catch up before the next season), the Marvel shows on Netflix are awesome, of course (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders and Punisher) and I'm curious to see what they do with Cloak and Dagger.
If you hadn't noticed, I watch a lot of shows, mostly about superheroes. lol
My all time favorite heist moivie is Inside Man. So when I read online Money Heist was similar to that movie I jumped at it. It took me a full episode to get used to the voice over. The show was original for Spanish (Spain) television. I don’t think the show is as good as Inside Man and I also think it borrows a little heavily from the movie, but all of that being said, it was an enjoyable watch. I did laugh out loud at the absurdity of the Mexican Standoffs and I think that maybe Spanish television is a little more than I’m accustomed to, but it addresses a lot of interesting social dynamics in the show which I thought made it compelling. I found myself sympathizing and turning against the hostage takers at the same time siding with and against the hostages. If you are the type who isn’t turned off by heavy social issues being injected into a narrative I highly recommend it, but be warned it deals with abortion, , infidelity, sexism in the work place, and, misogyny just to name some off the dynamics off the top of my head.
I'm currently watching Blue Bloods and NCIS.
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
Surprised no one has shouted out Sense8. Really intelligent and beautifully-shot sci-fi show, that was cancelled prematurely, but fans protested and got a series finale.
I thought I'd like Barry, but after a couple of episodes, I haven't really gotten into it. I'll probably give it a few more to see if it picks up.
Next up will be Succession which looks like a modern day update of King Lear. The short previews I've seen look good, so I'll give the series a shot.
Don't believe everything that you read.
Just watched the fourth episode of The Terror. Absolutely loving it. Thanks to whoever recommended it on this thread originally. Looking like a great series. Acting is superb.
Currently watching the third series of Versailles.
I've been watching the original Monty Python's Flying Circus on Netflix. Finished series 1 last week and on to series 2. First episode of series 2 ("Face the Press") is magnificent, one of the few I actually recall from previous viewings. Male cabinet ministers in designer dresses, silly walks, the Piranha Brothers, and a long line of appliance installers arguing about paperwork.
I've had the luxury or penance, depending on one's perspective, of being able to watch a bit more television lately...
Really looking forward to:
Better Call Saul
OITNB
GOT
Billions (next season next year)
Currently working through Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I absolutely love this show. It's silly and quirky, and it makes us laugh, but the characters and their actors are tremendous. It's not super complicated stuff, and even my kids like watching it. Not a family show, but it works for us on some level. I've never been drawn to Andy Samberg, but I think he's done a wonderful job with this series. Love Rosa and Captain Holt. Currently midway through season 3.
Binged the current season of Comedians in Cars. I enjoy hearing stories about other comedians and their trials and inspirations. The Jerry Lewis segment was moving.
I gave up on Homeland after season 3. Just wasn't working anymore for me, but I love the characters and the premise. However, Claire Danes' acting is grating. With some of the current sub-plot lines, it's sometimes a challenge. Since I can stream for 'free' now, I've decided to see it through to the end. Currently midway through season 5.
Also trying Succession. Interestingly, Will Farrell is one of the guys behind the scenes on this. Would not expect him to be part of this Billions-type effort. I really want to like this show, but some of the characters evoke so much dislike, that I have trouble even watching them. However, like Homeland, I want to see a bit more.
I just finished reading, Sharp Objects. IDK. I don't really want to see it as a television series. I make poke my head in once or twice to check it out.
I agree with DamonX on Barry. Another show I really wanted to like. Didn't. Stopped after a few episodes.
Been watching the Shit out of Rick and Morty. It’s far better than it has any right to be. I feel like I should be watching it while stoned the fuck out.
I am REALLY enjoying Comedians in Cars Drinking Coffee (or whatever it's called). It's just Seineld and some other comedians talking for several hours, and they just edit it down and show you the best 20 minutes. Deeply binge-worthy.
Still haven't finished the last Westworld season, though I suppose I will someday. Just got too ponderous and slow for me.
I hope Castle Rock has some game.
I wish I’d started Parts Unknown when Bourdain was still alive. Such a bloody awesome show. The man had a talent for word play I wish I had but never will. It’s food porn, but it’s also a historical/cultural/language lesson as well.
