Severance - Not fun having to wait three years between seasons, and if it turns out the writers/producers are just making shit up as they go along, I will Luigi them but enjoying the ride for now...

Drops of God - French version of a Japanese manga about wine so if that sounds good to you....They really changed the story and it isn't as super nerdy as the original but still kinda fun as a show about people tortured by they parents can be...

    Sukebe_GG we had to rewatch season 1 of Severance because we forgot everything. I have a feeling it’s going to be more questions than answers by the end of it.

      Queef Richards Season Three has been announced and hopefully I won't be on pension when it rolls around. They spent 20 million on this season alone so this type of production detail is a given since there are so little SFX

      terminalsunset I'm not generally a rewatcher, but I'm going back through Peep Show. Total heater from ep 1.

      I think I’m gonna do the same. Also want to rewatch ‘Toast of London’

        terminalsunset ep1 and you've got Mark trying to fuck Toni by kicking knowledge about the battle of Stalingrad. I wonder if they had that in the American pilot version they did.

        Speaking of classics I did a rewatch of I'm Alan Partridge and am starting up on Saxondale


        Joe Pera Talks With You
        The Baba O'Reilly episode is one of my favorite episodes of any show.

          i exclusively watch family ties (only seasons 1-3) and welcome back kotter reruns

          I started watching “Bookie” on Max which is a dumb bro sitcom with cusses and nudity made by Chuck Lorre. At first it was refreshingly stupid and entertaining but after 7 episodes I have downgraded my assessment to just plain stupid.

            If y'all haven't yet, check out "Scavengers Reign" (MAX + Netflix). It's an animated series based on the aftermath of what happens when your spaceship crashes onto an alien planet thriving with organic biomes of flora and fauna. The stranded crew try to survive, but the world isn’t hostile—it just doesn’t give a fuck! Everything is beautiful, everything is deadly, and your best bet might be becoming part of the food chain. A slow, trippy, and deeply unsettling sci-fi fever dream. Highly recommended whilst enjoying some good pot/shrooms, etc....

              Sukebe_GG Severance is such a great show!! For those of you who need a season 1 recap, this 15min video should fill ya in...

                Working through a Sopranos rewatch over here, and it's great, of course. Just got to season 5.

                Other than that, I've been kind of passively working through Oz, which I haven't watched since college, and Peep Show again.

                  I loved Landman.

                  ExpKind Sopranos rewatch

                  I rewatched it a few years ago right as the Talking Sopranos podcast with Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa was starting. It's really an amazing supplement especially with all the interviews.

                  I have two episodes left of THE CURSE. Does anyone actually like this show? I'm a pretty big Nathan Fielder fan but watching it is starting to feel like a chore and I'm basically holding out for an ending where someone (hopefully everyone) dies.

                    Señor Scratchy oh boy if you hate it now the finale isn't going to go well for you.

                    Señor Scratchy it’s pretty excruciating. Probably the most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt watching something.

                    Señor Scratchy I love it, but I have always wondered if it generally lands for people who don't live in New Mexico. It nails a very specific sense of cultural unease and faux-progressive neoliberalism that causes a lot of problems in this state.

                      terminalsunset I do enjoy that aspect of it.. I live in Portland, have family in Santa Fe, so i definitely get the types of people and the issues they’re satirizing.

                      For me the pain is in how despicable the main characters are, plus the awkward juxtaposition of Emma Stone’s great performance versus the cruddy improv style acting of Nathan and his bro Dougie. She is utterly convincing as a clueless woke white lady, while the other two appear to be auditioning for a Sonic commercial or something.

                        Señor Scratchy I do think that’s a fair point about the stark differences in performances. I could see how that would take you out of it. I find Benny Safdie’s performance a bit more nuanced and interesting because I think it’s difficult to know who his character “really is” because I read him as someone hiding from himself, but it can come across as stilted at times for sure. I’m not sure if I buy Fielder as an actor overall, but I still find him compelling. Emma Stone’s performance is pretty amazing, just the repression and fakeness slowly crumpling on itself. Nightmare! She outclasses the others by a wide margin.

                        Josh My favorite part too. What is in those chalises of juice they are all drinking?

                        Been watching "Great Migrations" on PBS. Third episode on tonight.

                        Yeah The Curse was a bit of a mindfuck and hard to pin down as far as good, great, or wouldn't recommend unless you XXX.
                        I loved Nathan for the People but never dove into The Rehearsal- worth it? I see there's a second season of The Rehearsal coming out...

                          Sukebe_GG The Rehearsal starts out goofy, then goes off the deep end and leaves you shaking your head. I really enjoyed it though. Psyched about a 2nd season.

                          Documentary about the US wiping out an indigenous pig species in Haiti. Serves as kind of a smaller scale version of the buffalo slaughter & it's resulting ill effects on the indigenous population. The difference here being that the Creole Pig extinction was carried out in the last fifty years.

                          terminalsunset Nailed it. First time I've ever heard an accurate New Mexican accent in a television series. Breaking Bad didn't even have that. And to think the people to nail that kind of authenticity would be Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie!??

                          I can see how other people wouldn't be into it but the last episode was probably the most interesting hour of TV I've seen in ages.

                          On my flight to Mexico City tried the Dune series. It is laughably horrible. Couldn’t make it through the first episode. They have season 3 of Curb though. Haven’t watched the early seasons in a long time and loving it

                            Randall I just started rewatching from season one of Curb. Such a time capsule and definitely still hits!
