Your Ten Favorite Shows Currently on Television

I'll also rep for Lethal Weapon. It's obviously not The Wire but for a family type police procedural it's an awful lot of fun.

I really wanted to root for it because I love Clayne Crawford and his fabulous hair but it's just TOO dumb. Also would be majorly improved w/ the younger Wayans.

I'd never been a fan of Wayans previously but have warmed to him in this.

NO you're too dumb

:D

younger wayans? wtf. the whole POINT is that he's old

it scratches my Burn Notice itch perfectly

Also enjoying S2 of TMITHC but really wish Amazon/Netflix would put together some sort of 20 minute highlights of a show's previous season as I'm usually crap at remembering what happened a year ago.

the whole POINT is that he's old

yes but younger Wayans is actually funny sometimes, fair tradeoff imo

new Lethal Weapon is a pretty decent show

Oh yeah, Planet Earth is one of the best shows of 2016 for sure. Seems to be underrated.

The only things I really FOLLOWED this year that weren't Adult Swim rebroadcasts of previously-existing shows were Luke Cage and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, both of which were great.

just knocked out Chewing Gum, which I think came out this year on Netflix in the US? Really good.

Oh yeah, Planet Earth is one of the best shows of 2016 for sure. Seems to be underrated.

Assume that last bit is sarcasm?

it scratches my Burn Notice itch perfectly

Will definitely need to check this out then.

Hey groovypanda, I should have said "Seems to be underrated round these parts" cuz I haven't heard much discussion. Total fail on my part

Oh now I found the PE thread - oh jeez.

Just started Man in the High Castle season 2.

Finally catching up with Deadwood - I was all set to give up on it, then Ricky Jay showed up.

still my all-time fave tbh

finally catching up in Rectify, goddamn i love this show

I know opinions are divided, but The OA is probably the best new show I've seen since Enlightened.

everyone is talking about it but i can't figure out what it's about / what it's like?

about 10 episodes long, like a root canal

i'm going in on Search Party

just finished Atlanta, loved it

Caught up with most of Jon Glaser Loves Gear and it must be added to all 2016 lists. Did not realize it was going to get as weird as Delocated.

It's a good tide-over till Review gets back.

i'm about to start watching OG MacGuyver again, it's showing on MeTV at 5pm and 9pm weekdays.

been catching lots of classic sitcoms. saw an "I Love Lucy" where she dressed up as chiquita banana and lip and had a choreographed dance synced to an off-screen record, which of course gets switched to 2x speed and she has to perform in maddening doubletime.

also saw "The Love Boat". that show is pretty pervy w the 70s T&A, at one point they even had to blur something out.

Anyone watching "Alone"? A bunch of contestants are trying to survive in Patagonia while filming themselves in total isolation. Some wicked resourceful humans on this one.

yea i like that show; previous seasons were @ vancouver isl in canada

earlier seasons were awesome too :) i'm a Canadian over here so made me proud

i watched the first ep of search party last night what is up w/ that sex scene

lol. reminded me a little of a similar sex scene in s1e1 of breaking bad

Doesn't really feel like a 'show' that I'd put on a 'favorite shows' list but the Leah Remini Scientology thing has been pretty brutal viewing and is highly recommended. It's going much deeper than the Going Clear documentary (still haven't gotten around to the book) wrt showing both the extent to which people's lives are torn apart by Scientology (never heard about the Sea Org forced abortions before) and the extent to which David Miscarriage is a complete abomination of a human being.

i finished You're the Worst, very disappointing season. it cratered.

i think i hit some saturation pt where i now just ignore all scientology content but that does sound p good

agree re: youre the worst, i stopped watching midway thru this season

the last few episodes got very shitty and explicitly dudebro. all the characters plots are disorganized and pointless.

i really liked Search Party.

i thought you're the worst was good - not as great as the previous season but not "cratering" idk

I agree w that, not as good but still v v good

Completely freaked at the season closing music cue

i was pissed off at the "my body my choice" gags, the disposal of a lead character because she "wasn't good enough" and the definite feeling that they lost the thread of the story.

Search Party was great fun.

right?? it was like a great 90s indie movie.

Good enough that I'm still watching about halfway through weird af tho but a much better imo document of millennial malaise/life than Girls.

Anyone else watch Colony?

Great Season 2 opener

first episode of sneaky pete is promising; i'm mostly in it for the justified class reunion

Watched the first two, didn't grab me. For the folks involved, it should be loads better.

Enjoyed No Offence from the start last week.
Hadn't watched it before.
Shady goings on in a Manchester police squad by a writer who did Cracker among others.

xp to Simon: two reviews I've read suggested it warms up after the first few episodes, if that matters to you. I'll eventually report back.

Alone
Humans
Curb your Enthusiasm
It's Always Sunny

re: Search Party, looking forward to season 2!

first episode of sneaky pete is promising; i'm mostly in it for the justified class reunion

who aside from martindale is from justified? I watched a few episodes over the weekend, not sure if I'm gonna stick with it

Graham Yost is the exec producer; several of the episodes are written by justified writers as well
