god, I hope vapefrog reappears

haha groovypanda might also have been subtly indicating that Legion is a lot better when under the influence

reiterating my previous comment with enthusiastic quotes

i liked flint town a lot also;

bailed on this season of the detour, not as funny as prev seasons imo

watched the first ep of Bill Hader’s new show Barry. It’s pretty good!

^^ agree! certainly good enough to keep watching

I watched Jenna Fischer's new show "Splitting Up Together" last night. Ouch, I felt a little embarrassed for her. It's on after Blackish, so I may well let it play next week.

its v bad

series of unfortunate events is delightful once again, only got through the first two (austere academy), but there already have been delightful performances from nathan fillion, roger bart, and whoever that horrible little girl is who played carmelita

so delightful, had to say it twice

anyone watching homeland s7?

My faves at the moment:

Atlanta
Bob's Burgers
Jane the Virgin
RuPaul's Drag Race
Schitt's Creek

Homeland
Altered Carbon
the Orville (has that gone into hiatus?)
L&O SVU

No sir, I didnt like it:
that horrible Chopper Read Underbelly documentary
the Simpsons (why the fuck do I keep persisting with this show)
Roseanne reboot (ugh no thanks)

Currently watching the final season of Bron on Hulu, Billions on Showtime via Hulu, and The Americans via Amazon. About to start Bosch next week and the second season of The Handmaid's Tale two weeks after that. (I'll give that one episode but am not confident about it.)

the Simpsons (why the fuck do I keep persisting with this show)

I stubbornly keep watching it, occasionally if not all the time. There are still occasional moments that work: the show's long history allows for reflections of the relationships between Homer and Marge, or Bart and Lisa, or just Lisa and her family, that achieve real poignance every now and then (a scattershot recent time-hopping episode that saw Lisa from infancy to her first day of college had me in no-kidding tears a couple of times), and the freedom of the format--and the fact that no one expects anything from the show any more, honestly--allows for some wacky experiments in form or plot when they're feeling up to it. But even at their best, these episodes are rarely funny, an even if they do manage a laugh every now and then, the plotting is so haphazard that the arc of any given episode is often nonsensical (admittedly, this started being a problem immediately following the series' 90s heyday). Mostly, though, I'm currently annoyed at what could have been if the show had gone off the air back when it should have: in the current reboot climate, it probably would have been resurrected with a lot of the original people on board and have been a lot funnier and fresher than it is now.

Yr right, there have been a few rare recent eps that I actually laughed at or liked, but not many.

Oh I forgot to add to my list of good: the Alienist. That was really good.

Is no one else watching Baskets? I watched the first 2 seasons on Hulu and I think there’s a current season on FX. I went into it not knowing what it was about and it’s funny and dark as fuck. Martha Kelly and Louie Anderson are amazing.

I am watching and it's in my top 10, but I haven't seen any of the current season yet. I was worried about Anderson going in, but damned if he doesn't do a perfect job.

I completely forget that it’s Louie Anderson. He becomes Christine

Cool! I only started watching bc Karen Kilgariff mentioned on the MFM podcast that she wrote a couple episodes

i watched the 'Luck be a Lady' episode of A Crime to Remember a few weeks ago (Karen Kilgariff is in it) and it truly has the greastest reenactment scenes ive ever watched and Ive watched A LOT.

I think I mentioned this on the Netflix thread but Killing Eve is free on BBC America website and is a super fun female-lead spy thriller (written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, of Flea Bag fame)

xpost Crime To Remember is so good, i love it

Anyone else watch season 4 of Bosch yet? I think it's my fave (and does anyone else want a separate thread?)

I'm gonna start it tonight. Thanks for the reminder.

"If you can smoke and drink while doing it, it's not a sport" is my nomination for thread title unless you have one.

hah that's the one

Is anybody watching Trust, the Danny Boyle JP Getty III series?

I'm really enjoying it, if maybe not quite as much as Donald Sutherland seems to be.

i like it but the tone is a bit lighter/quirkier than i’d like.

yeah it's kinda goofy but moves along at a nice clip

I went ahead and started a Bosch thread: "If you can smoke and drink while doing it, it's not a sport" - a thread for BOSCH

Brockmire's back tonight

Watching Trapped on Amazon - an Icelandic murder mystery set in a small coastal town that's inaccessible due to a freak snowstorm. I'm 4 episodes in with 6 to go; when I'm done, I'll give The Handmaid's Tale season 2 a try.

I don't think I can deal with any more shows involving murder, mystery, or small towns. I had to bail on Dark pretty much immediately.

I made it through 8 minutes of Dark.

Which one is Dark? Is it a Netflix thing?

yeah, murder mystery in a small town plus time travel shenanigans. mainly my issue is the intense humorlessness

lol germans, right? :)

I did enjoy the first episode of Killing Eve, though slightly less than expected given it's a Phoebe Waller-Bridge joint

i thought dark was about as good as a small town child murder time travel mystery could be, although keeping track of who's who in one time period was a struggle, near impossible across three.

yea killing eve is good, nearly too stylish/winking for me but ill keep watching def

my main issue w/ Dark besides the tone was trying to tell all the stone-faced sad men apart from each other. just seemed tiring

Dark was fine even if there were no interesting characters and the final episode was nonsense.

Trapped is one of the best Scandis though

Ugh only the first ep of killing eve is free on the website :(

Trapped is SO good

Does anyone else watch the Handmaid's Tale? I kind of want to start a dedicated thread but I have a feeling I'll be the only one porting in it.
