So good!

it gets off to an uncertain start, but it's a much better and less cynical show than you're giving it credit for
and the use of adult actors allows them to explore subject matter that would be impossible with real teens

pandering nostalgia + distancing technique (adults playing themselves as teens) for people who think themselves too good for the real thing (teen sitcoms) = no more for me thx
This was exactly the impression I got from all the fawning press coverage. Definite pass.
Currently watching My Brilliant Friend, which is pretty great. The kid playing the titular friend is one of the most intense kid actors I've ever seen - it's an amazing performance.

I watched the first ep of pen15 and didn’t think much of it but eventually went back to it and it’s hilarious
― just1n3, Monday, 8 April 2019 21:33 (five years ago) link
I thought pen15 was superior to Sex Education, which was also overhyped but I just didn’t think it was very clever or funny.
― just1n3, Monday, 8 April 2019 21:35 (five years ago) link
I only watched all of Sex Education to keep picking up all the real life vs TV continuity errors.

Enjoying What We Do In The Shadows so far

Torlock works very well. A lot of the sites are blocked by the major ISPs though so you might need a mirror site. (And always advisable to have robust anti-virus protection in place before visiting torrent sites).
― groovypanda, Friday, 12 April 2019 10:39 (five years ago) link
last episode of What We Do was the strongest yet by far. had to rewind the werewolf/vampire showdown just to watch it again. The wrinkle of Mark Proksch’s character really pulls the room together.also pen15 is amazing. if you haven’t at least watched through the drum solo your opinion is invalid.

v glad that Lodge 49 is back in August. everyone should catch up on that one in time.
― Simon H., Saturday, 13 April 2019 04:11 (five years ago) link
^ seconded. I’m going to rewatch it soon so all the threads are fresh. It has the most likeable characters I’ve seen in TV for a while and I can’t wait to see how it all develops.

Just watched the first episode of Ramy on Hulu. First of all, I'm immediately in the tank for any show that reveals the SHOCKING TRUTH that there's more to life in Jersey than Springsteen and the Sopranos, so the fact that the show's actually smart and funny as hell is just a bonus.
Really glad Bosch is back, too. And season 2 of Better Things just popped up on Hulu, so I'll be watching that, too.
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Saturday, 20 April 2019 16:56 (five years ago) link
Ramy is really good! Like surprisingly good!What else goes to the top of the pile right now? Veep, Barry, Patriot Act, Desus and Mero, Fleabag s2To a lesser extent GoT, the fairly bad first round of the nba playoffs, last week tonighti should probably be watching brockmire, killing eve, The New Negroes, Chernobyl, Gentlemen JackI suppose i should try Fosse/Verdon and What We Do in ShadowsBetter Things has not been good, it's become a sort of watered down, self-satisfied Louie and that makes me sad.I'm about to switch out to a cord cut set up for the first time in over a decade. Cable through ad-free hulu is $60 or so, Plex, Criterion, Mubi, Amazon Prime, Netflix, HBO, Showtime, PBS app... kinda feel like all my bases are covered but still feel weird about it. Can't necessarily see everything I want but I'm not really doing that anyway, so...

Currently watching Bosch and Game of Thrones thru Amazon, Billions and Ramy through Hulu. Didn’t like Killing Eve s1 (free on Hulu) enough to pay $20 for s2 on Amazon.

loving without reservation: GoT, Patriot Act, Fosse Verdon, new Project Runway, Riverdale, the Good Fight, Sabrinatotally stupid but I like it anyway: Gotham, Whiskey Cavalier (HATE the name. so much) forget to watch but still enjoy: Man in the High Castlemaybe/meh: What We Do In The Shadows, Killing Eve gave up/nope: Hannah, The Enemy Within

Bosch is good shit. It's got so much good L.A. location porn, and so many Wire actors doing good work. And 24 actors, too. The storylines are nicely ambitious for a cop show. S1 was a little rough in spots but it really picked things up in S2. I'm onto S3 now.
― omar little, Wednesday, 24 April 2019 05:37 (five years ago) link
i need to go back to Bosch, i never did get caught up- been watching old eps of Good Wife & Titus Welliver makes me feel a certain type of way
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 24 April 2019 05:55 (five years ago) link
there's not a season 2 of Killing Eve yet, is there?
― kinder, Wednesday, 24 April 2019 07:15 (five years ago) link
Oh right, there is. That was quick. It's not on over here yet.

I don't think PWB had any involvement with S2 as she was busy doing other stuff

re: Fosse/Verdon and What We Do in Shadows
ive tried both and the latter is fantastic, p much exactly what one would expect (with bonus Matt Berry!), and the former is good -- my gf loved it, and all that jazz is her fave movie

I'm loving WWDITS. I'm not necessarily sold on the location (although that was partially overcome last week with the story in Manhattan) but the cast is seriously strong and the addition of the new vampire types is inspired.
― Elitist cheese photos (aldo), Thursday, 25 April 2019 13:13 (five years ago) link
I Think You Should Leave on Netflix is excellent and just about 75 minutes for the whole season. These are not series! These are a special chopped up!

Anyone watching 1969 on ABC? It's a one hour news show that looks at events from that year in each episode. They've done Apollo 11, Manson, Ted Kennedy/Chappaquiddick, and last night the Black Panthers. Pretty watchable even though an hour still isn't enough to explore the themes.
― nickn, Wednesday, 15 May 2019 16:49 (four years ago) link
Oh, is that an actual series? I flipped past the Manson one and the Chappaquiddick one and was wondering what the hell the deal was.
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Wednesday, 15 May 2019 16:53 (four years ago) link
Seems to be, they've had 4 that I've seen now over the past month, and it may have started before that.

I have thought about I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson every single day since watching all six episodes in one sitting a month ago.
