Your Ten Favorite Shows Currently on Television

I’m currently engaged in a love affair with the latest season of The Detour.

it is better than i expected! i liked not loved the first 2 seasons but this one has been a hell of a surprise.

also all of the "it's the middle of the night" jokes are really for some reason tickling me EVERY time

The fishing boat ep was amazing

Superstore
Fresh Off the Boat
black-ish
The Magicians
Bojack Horseman
Brooklyn Nine-nine
Search Party
Riverdale
Good Place
Last Man on Earth

Can we all agree that Russell Armstrong is the most annoying character on any tv show ever?

Nirvanna the band the show deserves more love. Season 2 was solid

It started out a little slow and uneven but AP Bio is v enjoyable now that the storylines involve more of the kids.
I pretty much love Glen Howerton in anything tho.

I've been looking for a reason to give AP Bio a chance.

Glen is the reason

or Glenn. However its spellec

Glenn is the reason for all. Still don’t think this is going to last tho

bad news, my wife can't stand Glenn Howerton

No it’s always sunny for you

I agree w/some of this piece because for me personally just watching 5 or 6 seasons of a "very good" or even sometimes a "great" show feels less like entertainment and more like a burden. The hype on every new streaming thing that drops and the availability of perfectly fine shows from around the world means the quantity of good shows might as well be endless and I'm never gonna keep up, barring staying up late at night watching episodes ad infinitum.

Not not watching Season 2 of Legion mind

Legion S2 is as imperative to me as breathing, choosing not to watch to “free up time” seems kinda ? to me

if you have things to do, children to raise, i get that

but i do not & i love filling my time with showd

groovypanda not otm, britannia is lots of fun imo

I may start a thread

Billions is back today (season premiere is tonight but it's already streaming if you get Showtime via Amazon and/or Hulu).

I couldn't make it past the first episode of Legion, but I'll try again sometime.

Shows I've quit: New Girl, Brooklyn 99, Sleepy Hollow, Alias Grace, Jane the Virgin, Treme, Togetherness, Cougartown...

I wanted to rage quit the last episode of Sherlock but I stupidly watched it till the end

I almost quit You're the Worst after the terrible third season, but then the 4th was the best so far imo

Same w legion. Almost turned it off instantly but finished the first ep. not going back.

Brooklyn 99 still delivers, imo.

And I had no idea Cougartown was still on.

Anyone else watching Counterpart? Thinking of starting a separate thread if there's interest...

I saw JK Rowling and parallel universes and sexy assassins as was like... maybe? Tell me more

Uh I mean JK Simmons

it’s a bit of a slow burn plot-wise but the character work is pretty decent. kind of sparse.

so far Barry seems like it might be ok, need more eps to decide

What’s with the legion hate? Sheesh

idk just wasnt for me. pretty sick of superhero stuff in general.

even superhero stuff by way of david lynch?

I thought Legion was interesting, but generally I find Noah Hawley's work a bit tropey and self-consciously "prestige", and it seemed like too much effort.

Although I also liked Westworld, so my opinion is meaningless.

Legion’s my favorite show in forever

my hatred of Legion and all things Hawley has been noted here before

right now I'm enjoying

Atlanta (easily the best thing on TV, by an embarrassing margin)
Magicians
Adventure Time (ending shortly!)
Superstore

tried to get into Counterpart, wasn't really working for me

my current faves that are running or recently ended:

Atlanta
High Maintenance
American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace
Counterpart

Not great, but guilty pleasures:
The Blacklist
Agents of SHIELD
The Mick

Starting soon and looking forward to it:
Legion
??

Enjoying:
AP Bio
Alienist
Lethal Weapon
Atlanta
Riverdale
Gotham
Assassination of Gianni Versace
Love

Like but only watching sporadically
Black Lightning
Flash
Agents of Shield (I hate the current offworld storyline)

Bored but will keep watching
Jessica Jones
Instinct

Nope
Good Girls

VG: spoilers, but that Shield storyline is no longer offworld!

I'm hoping Riverdale gains some momentum, I'm still watching it sporadically but nothing interesting is really going on

Riverdale is picking up again now imo

xpost thank fuck
i’m waaaay behind

my thing is that i get embarrassed when shows do offworld stuff that looks kinda cheap, it takes me out of the story so easily!

Didn't enjoy the Assassination of Versace much at all.

Yeah, Agents of SHIELD is really building towards the conclusion (given it's almost certainly not being renewed and the writers have said as much).

Riverdale went through a weak period but is picking up the pace again an did worth sticking with.

Hate Black Lightning, quite a lot.

i enjoyed versace just fine, especially the spotlight episodes on madson and trail and the final two episodes, but i thought that each episode was about 20% too bloated. we get it, andrew was fucked up.

wait wait wait i'm in the uk so forgive me but there's a second season of atlanta????

*checks imdb*

gaaaaaah there's a second season of atlanta

anyway, here's my list:

just finished:
gianni versace

really enjoying:
Brooklyn 99
Atlanta
Barry
Silicon Valley

watching halfheartedly, bout to finish:
Mindhunter

Bout to start:
Wild Wild Country
The Terror

Coming back:
Legion

Desperately need to catch up so i don't fall too far behind in the new season:
The Americans

I love Versace. I can’t put my finger on why exactly but I definitely enjoyed the mundane pathetic beats of Cunanan’s story

I think some of those moments might have connected better for me without the chronological trickery.

Overall, I thought it was really good and an important story to tell

I think it is good to remind people of how many people he murdered. People forget just how violent he was

On the cosy end of the spectrum, I'm enjoying Strike, the JK Rowling murder mystery hour. It's a bit like a cheesy indie-rock Midsomer Murders, but the two leads are agreeably dreamy and there's - unusually, for a BBC show - a lot of exterior London scenes, so it's fun to play guess-the-location. I wouldn't call it good, but it's v. v. watchable, like a Canadian show that's accidentally been filmed in the UK.

The Expanse back very soon too.

And Fear The Walking Dead but not sure anyone else watches that. It started very badly but the last season or two has been quite enjoyable and so much better than its parent show.

Also looking forward to the new Lemony Snicket as watch that with my kids who both loved the first season.

idk where to watch Atlanta s2 in the UK - anyone?
