What TV are you watching (live, dvd, etc.)? - Page 147

Antagon · 07.16.2019, 01:52 PM

Caught up with some of the more renowned animated series of this decade lately. Recently finished watching Gravity Falls, which was a well-written funride with a good amount of heart and beautiful animation. And then I watched Over The Garden Wall in one sitting (its mere 10 episodes clock in at just under 2 hours combined). This show is a beautiful piece of art and thematically intriguing. The early to mid 2010s were kind of a great time for animation.

Just realized a new season of Last Chance U hit Netflix. Looks like I won't be getting shit done today...

Russian Doll. Loved it. It's like Groundhog Day, just a good amount more complex and intriguing in the psychological department. Love me some Groundhog Day, but I gotta admit the whole message it tried to convey was pretty simplistic and somewhat problematic at times. Russian Doll takes a very similar premise but puts a more nuanced spin on it. And Natasha Lyonne absolutely kills it in that lead role. Great art direction and soundtrack as well.

Totally agreed. She really is great in this. I only got 4 episodes in and got distracted with another show, but you totally just reminded me about it. I will likely finish it out this weekend.

GLOW season 3. They upped the boob count this season, if I'm being blunt in thoughts thus far.

the IT miniseries

LifeDistortion · 08.26.2019, 08:56 AM

Mindhunter season 2. This is arguably Netflix's best series.

yees, yes, i forgot to answer to this last time but was just looking around calmly at the thread and yes,

the first time i saw groundhog day was ages ago on tv and frankly it bothered the hell out of me for its ideological bent. seemed to be saying “conform,” or something. i mean, sure, the guy was an asshole, needed to be less self-centered and more mellow, but if i recall correctly the cure for his condition seemed to be to just behave like everyone says you should, or something.

anyway, i liked this new version tons more, and would even rewatch right now if i had the time. still chuckling at that bizarro ending parade that was like a midnight mardi gras thing of some sort. absurd and totally unexpected, but in a good way.

Severian · 08.27.2019, 07:38 AM

Preacher (final season)

Succession (goddamn good)

Finished LEGION (disappeared waaay up its own ass with pretentiousness but still good)

Rob Instigator · 08.27.2019, 11:17 AM

Legion ending was dope. dug it. had not listened to Floyd's "Mother" since I stopped listening to The Wall to avoid sliding into the deep depressive state that existed in me when I played that album for 3 years straight in my early teens.

ilduclo · 08.28.2019, 03:51 PM

Лучше, чем люди Russian sci fi about robots. At first I thought it would just be a copy of Humans, but no, it's pretty good. Unfortunately, it follows many sci fi shows that have music from 2019 playing in contemporary 2060(?) bars. Lame hip hop stuff..... All of us who know music know that it's likely to be very different in 40 years, maybe even unrecognizable? I think they could at least get some very unusual 2019 music instead. Thoughts about this appreciated. This has ALWAYS bothered me.

!@#$%! · 08.29.2019, 08:20 AM

have not watched a lot of tv lately except for season... 5? of WORKAHOLICS

which is always hilarious and good

Peterpuff · 08.29.2019, 10:57 AM

Newest Chappelle Netflix special was a full-on laugh riot. Loved it.

Rob Instigator · 08.29.2019, 12:40 PM

I laughed a ton. The title said it all. sticks and stones. all the backlash seems to me to be nonsense aimed at keeping people from watching it and actually understanding what he was trying to say.

I do hope he decides to shift his routine more to the side of impressions though. They are spot on.

LifeDistortion · 09.01.2019, 06:43 PM

Watched the first episode of The Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance, my 80's sci-fi/fantasy adoring heart enjoyed it.

tw2113 · 09.01.2019, 07:48 PM

I want to watch the original Dark Crystal before I begin any sort of preview.

That said, I did start Supernatural Season 14 this weekend.
