Don't lie you're only watching it due to Melissa Benoist
CW shows basically exist for people to masturbate to. Smallville is basically a parade of pretty people with no substance but I love it.

Alex Rider S3 "shadow dropped" on me this month an amazon freevee, a shame the show has been cancelled. There are quite a few books left to adapt.

I don't usually do serial anime, but I decided to fire up Delicious in Dungeon and half-watch it while I worked last week. At first it seemed lame, though I appreciate how they earnestly committed to a world that operated like dungeon diver video game.
By the time the first episode wrapped I was hooked. One part love letter to RPG's of certain genres, one part cooking show, one part D&D monster manual. Also genuinely funny with some of the best voice acting in animation that I have personally heard.
Strong 4/5 so far. I am sure that if I loved anime of this fashion it would be a 5/5.

Sugar seems good on Apple TV.
I am also just starting Fallout, which seems good.
Also, if you have not seen The Food That Built America, easily one of the best shows on tv.

Watched Euphoria seasons one and two.
It was OK, the writing is a bit all over the place as plots get started and then fizzle out incomplete and don’t get brought back up. It has nothing on Skins (UK), or Inbetweeners (UK), or Fresh Meat (UK), probably a bunch of other dramas as well.

Finished season 5 of Yellowstone (at least i think i did, is it more than 8 episodes?)
For all the publicity it got, it's really a mediocre show overall.
Some of the actors are doing ok-ish with the material given, but the writing is all over the place, ranging from eye rolling to downright terrible. Most sub-plots are useless redundant shit that add zero to the story.
The one redeeming...well, two factors, are the vistas and the country music. Those are really nice and those beautiful nature shots really put things in perspective.
6/10 for the nature mostly.

I'm not a big anime fan, but I watched/still watch( because it's still airing) Delicious In Dungeon on Netflix. I absolutely love this show. The first 13 episodes have 2 different songs for the credits. 1 for intro and 1 for end credits, the end credit song is so good. Then episode 14 and on changes both songs to completely new, and objectively worse songs. I don't know what that's all about. Still love the show, but I used to actually sit through the end credits to hear the song. No more.
I started watching Under the Dome on paramount. I got through most of the first season, until they get to a point where this dumb broad suffers from insulin withdrawal and wanders into the road where a guy swerves to avoid her and rams into the water tower, taking out their water supply.
I just had enough of the shit. Every 5 minutes it's a new fucking fiasco which leads to some other horse shit shenanigans. I'm going to look up the synopsis on wikipedia and read the rest of the seasons.
I had the paramount sub for Halo, which I only just finished the other day. Forgot all about the last episode.

I'm eight years late, but I started Westworld yesterday. Only two episodes in. Love it so far. I hear it goes off the deep end later but whatever. I'll keep watching for now.

Bro that shit is predictive programming at it's finest.
I missed out on the last 2 a 3 seasons when HBO took it down but holy shit.
There's so much subtext when viewed from a particular perspective.
Enjoy
Printing biological carriers with a pre programmed AI narrative that comes aware.. lmao
HBO be like aight we showed you now forget it's in your subconscious

True story: I was deep into the rabbit hole on the concept of predictive programming when Westworld first aired and it's the main reason I didn't watch it at that time lolBro that shit is predictive programming at it's finest.

But now I just finished the Fallout show, saw Jonathan Nolan was also behind Westworld, and dove on in.

Love the first season, but I dropped off it hard half way through season 2, tried to pick it up again, but god damn what pile of shite it turned into.
Shame as the first season had promise.

The first season is fantastic, the second good. After that it lost me. But enjoy that first season, a real banger.

First season is amazing. Stop there, the rest is dogshit except for a few scenes in season 2 (not worth sitting through the whole season though)

It's my favorite video game adaptation to date. You say "decent", I say a cut above most things I've watched. The aspects you mentioned aren't on the level of what I'd consider the best-ever TV (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and True Detective Season 1), but it's doing those things well and it's based on one of my favorite video game series. If it wasn't tied into Fallout and was an original IP, I wouldn't like it nearly as much as I do. But it is and I do. My two cents.
What TV would you say is the best ever?

Some of the ones you mentioned are great TV, hell even former controversial shows like Lost are far better than this just for the characters alone. The problem is the show can't even compete with Jonathan Nolan's better stuff, Westworld season 1 and Person of Interest were leagues better than this, this is more comparable with season 2 of Westworld where the characters start to become pointless and the plot just drags on aimlessly

Awesome. Enjoy friend.
Watched 20 min of FallOut and turned it off after the naked raider scene. Got bored pretty fast.
Is it worthy for another chance in your opinion?
I've played 3 and 4.

I thought it was great, and combined nearly everything I like about 3 & 4 into a single narrative. YMMV

I believe you. Perhaps one day. I like a good show but it didn't grip me as I hoped. Then again, 20 min is ofcourse really unfair judging said show. Thanks.

Season 2 is the biggest drop in quality ever seen in a TV show, luckily season one works just fine as a standalone series.

It's brilliant, I didn't have any expectations even after hearing all the buzz but I was pleasantly surprised.

Yeah i've watched this with my gf in one sitting lmao it was this good. Honestly felt sorry for this guy, and ending was a nice callback to everything...
On the other hand, am I the only one who dropped shogun after 4-5 episodes?
It felt so boring to me, couldnt get into characters at all, ofc main character ended up making out with translator sama too xD
I loved the costumes, sceneries, and I'm big fan of anything related to japan, but fuck me i just couldnt bear through it...

Caught back up on X-Men '97. Episode 6 was, whatever, I had no idea what was going on because I didn't watch the OG show nor read more than a few X-Men comics from the 90's. But episode 7 was a return to form.
Captain America chucking his shield down in front of Rogue like some kind of warning, for her to just pick it up for herself as a "fuck you" to Cap because she knew she could squash him if she had to, made me laugh out loud

Welcome to Wrexham
I wasn't expecting much from this. It starts off being a pretty basic, almost boring reality show. But as it progresses it becomes very informative - giving detailed glimpses into the culture of Wales, the history of Wrexham, the good and bad aspects of football, and more. There's some great communal moments of both joy and sadness of the local population.
It also reveals Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney to be genuinely good guys. Very giving and understanding people.
I highly recommend it - just note, it takes time to get to the really good parts.

Episode 1 was a masterpiece compared to later episodes, I don't know if the writing team was replaced or lobotomized but holy shit, you can't imagine how bad it gets

I have, and while season 2 isn’t as good as the first it doesn’t reacher anywhere close to Westworld season 2. That’s a bigger drop than Game of Thrones.

I've been stuck working on problems at work for hours now, slept an hour here, an hour there, all night. But I watched the first ep of the new season of Doctor Who and a few thoughts:
1. This new lead actor has the chops. He's really good
2. They went really as absurd as the most absurd seasons/series. Very fun

I started Star Wars Visions 2. The first episode is fantastic. The animation is similar to the first Miles Morales movie, but tighter and more disciplined. They utilize the concept of the world being like a painting being influenced by both sides of the Force. Great story and combat. Terrific character designs. The coolest-looking lightsabers yet. Really good stuff.
