Discussion 📺 What are you watching? The TV show thread

The Last of Us
Can't wait there to be no second season... But seriously, though, the acting is good, cinematography is good, but the writing is shit.

Fallout
Only decided to waste time on it because of the visuals/atmosphere, and otherwise expected to hate it, but I didn't. The humor is missing, but it could stand on its own if they don't destroy it next year.


Have you seen Carnivàle and/or Invasion?

Never fully got on-board with Carnivale despite watching it all but it did have one of the best title sequences ever.

one of the best title sequences ever.

There's another, from Masters of Horror.

Baby Reindeer has gone over very well with audiences and critics alike. Finished it earlier today and I'm a big fan. Content warning for SA, stalking, general dark material but I wouldn't say it was a particularly difficult watch. Semi-autobiographical tale of struggling stand-up stalked by older female loon. If you liked I May Destroy You this could also be your thing.

 

[3/4Dead]

King of the hill. my fav.
And survivor.

Bout to watch the Knuckles show when it drops tonight. Now I heard Knuckles himself isn't actually in the show that much but I expected they'd have a lower budget on that so I'm not surprised. Some reviews do say the series is pretty fun if you look past that so I'll be looking forward to that at least.

I finished it all and it was pleasantly surprising. I mean it's not the best but there were still parts of it I got enjoyment out of. The coolest part though was when they mentioned Iblis from Sonic 06. I mean does Knuckles actually carry the true Flames of Disaster in him now? Doesn't that mean that if he cries, then Iblis will be released? I guess that's the best place to keep him though.

I'm watching a mix of stuff. I have 3 seasons of World's Most Evil Killers. Then I've got a bunch of new episodes of Blue Bloods, all the FBIs, all the Law & Orders. (the new Toronto one is also good), all the NCIS, So Help Me Todd (not happy that it got canceled) CSI (also not happy it got canceled), Elsbeth (It's not bad so far), Will Trent, Tracker and a bunch of wrestling. (AEW, WWE, TNA, ROH)

After I've caught up with the current stuff I have 2 seasons of The Cleaner and the most recent season of Professor T. I have a lot of series on my hard drive that I downloaded. Old and new. The oldest I have is The 87th Precinct from the 60s based on the books by Ed Mcbain. And I have a lot of British series (Midsomer Murders, Shetland, Silent Witness, etc)

Found out that all seven seasons of Garfield and Friends is actually on Peacock.

Just finished season 1 of Jurassic World Chaos Theory (sequel to Camp Cretaceous). Unfortunately it does not include Jeff Goldblum's character (yet).

Overall I enjoyed it. The dinosaur moments actually weren't that exciting in this one but the character moments. Like I knew all along that Brooklyn has to actually have been alive the whole time but the drama they set up around it was genuinely pretty heartfelt. In the previous show I felt like any drama was hit or miss even though the characters stayed strong but at leas now all the drama makes sense so that's why I don't mind it for now.

Also the new raptor trainer lady they introduced accomplished the feat of adding the first scary human into this franchise so props to them for that. I seriously thought they were suddenly trying to bring in the aliens from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, that's how creepy she looks. It feels like they finally realized that most of the humans in the show all look weird so they decided to double down on that for this character and I quite appreciate that.

I've been rewatching Criminal Minds bc I love that crime scene investigation genre of shows & it's been a long time since I've watched Criminal Minds specifically. I've also been catching up on the Halo series on Paramount! I missed most of season 2 bc I was in the hospital. I really enjoy the show, I think it's a great video game adaptation. Season 2 isn't as good as season 1 though. You can tell that it has a different director, and I don't like the direction he took Cortana

 

[ImTelling]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put it but I've just been watching the Ricardo Lopez tapes all day today. I'm not in the mood to watch my usual shit.

 

[untothedepths]

It's not really a TV show but I was watching the Tromaville movies, only seen two so far. Trashy to the extreme but I kinda find it entertaining as it looks like a pretty good caricature of how life kinda is.

This is a good one if you like your true crime. The Asunta Case from Spain, on Netflix. Adopted daughter of middle-class parents goes missing, spotlight falls on parents. Pretty amazing story.
