Is there any series airing today that is good enough?

As in none of the wokeness that's been infesting 99% of shows nowadays?

Nope

I'll watch a woke show if it's left leaning. I don't mind that, now if a show is far left leaning I tend to just skip it entirely lol

 

[Roni]

Nope

Wouldn't that be the definition of unrealistic standards, then?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Wouldn't that be the definition of unrealistic standards, then?

Good point but I seen good shows and movies that are left leaning that are actually well done and not preachy.

I have the same issue with shows and movies that are far right. But I'm fine with watching right leaning shows

WTF is up with this theme song? This kicks @#$ right?

Chloe Sullivan really needed to get saved am I right?

 

[Doom85]

Chloe Sullivan really needed to get saved am I right?

I mean, she (as in the character, not the actress) was still my #1 crush on the show when I watched it back in the day. Better choice for Clark over Ms. Lana “Clark, we’re not even dating yet, but I refuse to let you keep anything in your life a secret from me!“ Lang as well in the pre-Lois seasons IMHO.

I never watched the show but I still have a crush on that Actress. But she did do something terrible later in life and I hope she got some consequences for what she did. It just amusing to hear the Smallville theme song and it being called save me. Like she ain't need saving, the people that need saving are those poor girls she tricked in joining that sex cult

The show had a lot of flaws but there was some cool moments and a lot of the cast was great. Especially Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor, as he nailed the evolution of the character from a supportive yet questioning friend towards Clark towards something darker due to various negative influences in his life and other circumstances.

Finally started peaky blinders. On s3 e1

Digging it so far. Love the seasons are so short. Once i realized they were all 6 eps ea. the big and frequent time jumping made sense

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Anyone's been watching Twin Peaks? I'm on the second season right now

 

[V1LÆM]

watched Boo, Bitch on Netflix. also the new Resident Evil. god that was hard to get through.

such a good show. S4 is when the show moves to a new level. the story itself goes in a kinda new direction and it seems S4 is when the show got a lot more popular. S5 is another step up and S6 is just as good. it had me hooked right until the very last minute of the last episode.

i watched every episode as it aired so at times i felt confused between seasons as sometimes it was a 2-3 year wait. i really need to go back and binge watch it. i think it's good you're watching it now all the episodes are out so everything will be fresh in your mind.

enjoy

Orgy episode is best Peaky Blinders episode

I really enjoyed it all the way till the very last couple of scenes which really pissed me off.
*major spoiler*

Spoiler

The last name being Ben meant that the entire fucking season of them tracking down these guys was undercut because one of the team pretty much knew the whole time but only gave up the info as the others figured it out. Was a really shitty way to end the show

Spoiler: Terminal List ending

But Ben hoped he could stay unknown and deliver up everyone else as payment to Reese. Remember, Ben thought Reese was already a dead man walking, so vengeance was his only option. It is a very different ending than book Ben though, more melancholy. Hardin was much less of a cackling evil Hillary clone as well.

Spoiler

Ben could have achieved that by just finding a 'secret file' that detailed the entire thing. Instead he supplied most of the information but only as they came upon the links. Basically the entire progression was artificially gate kept by him.

Spoiler: mo TTL ending spoilers

Yeah, true. Iforget how nefarious he was in the book versus the show but my only guess is that he figured Reese would drop dead any day now, plus he himself wanted a little payback for Lauren and the kid, so he was willing to follow Reese down the bread crumb trail to at least the sicarios, but as semi-actively trying to preserve the big league players so Ben himself wouldn't have to bail out. But once it got to killing Horn Ben knew he was toast regardless and was just hoping to get away clean. I'm listening to Jack CArr's podcast discussin gthe show soI hope they elaborate on the changes to Bens storyline. They are dancing around Katie/Constance Wu but I actually think she did a pretty good job, though I don't see how they bring her and Reese together knocking boots in quite the same fashion.

Agreed, they should have left the last name on the list a blank for season 2, they way it went undermined the whole show. Still enjoyable enough tho.

 

[12Goblins]

We Own This City. Just finished this 6 episode excellent show.

Yea this is hands down the best TV we've gotten in a while, and nobody is talking about it, which is probably why good TV is so hard to come by sadly (╥﹏╥)

Aside from White Lotus, WOTC, and Dopesick, it's really hard to find good shows lately I feel

I been watching

Really not that great but it's about the making of the godfather which in itself is fascinating

[BadBurger]

Caught the first two episodes of the new season of Reservation Dogs

Still great, still funny. Unlike the first season, which was largely comedy as they built up to an emotional and dramatic ending, they're immediately mixing the drama with the comedy this season.

This is really good. It's the best TV show I've watched lately that wasn't one of the new high budget (for TV) Disney/Amazon/Netflix/HBO extravaganzas.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I can't believe I enjoyed a cartoon...about a caveman dinosaur friendship...with no dialogue this much. Two thumbs up.

Huh. I am going to add this one to the watch list.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

This show came out of nowhere and it's one of the best I've seen. This poster doesn't exactly do it justice:

Started watching it because Mike from RedLetterMedia mentioned it being good, and that barely anyone is talking about it. He's right on both counts.

The Catholic Church has half a million requests for exorcisms in their backlog, and they need a team to help evaluate whether they're real or fake possessions before going in. The show follows that team of three: two skeptics and one priest-in-training.

It's like a combination of the best parts of The Exorcist, The Conjuring, Mindhunter, and The X-Files. And it's not afraid to be weird. The tone can go between serious, funny, satirical, dramatic, and--most importantly--scary and pull them all off, in my opinion. One episode focused around VR has genuinely some of the most unsettling scenes I've seen all year, movie or TV.

It's on Paramount+. Probably why no one knows about it.

If a combination of religious horror/procedural/psychological thriller/great characters & banter sounds appealing--it might be worth looking into.

 

[BadBurger]

Black Jesus on Adult Swim. How did I never hear about this before? Absolutely hilarious.

 

[BadBurger]

Five Days at Memorial - the writers really did their research on this. It is very authentic to how hospitals deal with possible disasters. Felt like being back at work during a hurricane. Unfortunately the show itself is, like so many of these Apple+ shows, too slow and melodramatic.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Lots of low IQ characters, women who act like men, and everyone's clothes look like they still have the tags on.

- 700/10

 

[kurisu_1974]

Been catching up on The Righteous Gemstones. Danny McBride has been making some of my all time favorite comedy drama shows. I love this guy.

Also watched the first few episodes of the latest Stranger Things but I feel like I was done with it two seasons ago. So try-hard fake 80s it borders on parody without being funny.

 

[Hakiroto]

I just finished True Detective season 1, and I loved every minute of it. I've heard good things about season 3, but is season 2 really as bad as people say? No spoilers please.

 

[GeekyDad]

We finished up Endeavor and tried a couple of other things. So far, no luck, really. Was gonna check out Hanna, but after watching the trailer, I think that's a no-go for me. I tried Billions -- <throws up in mouth a little>. We tried Downton Abbey. Didn't know it was gonna be a straight-up, disgusting soap opera, albeit great sets and acting.

Anyone got any good suggestions?

 

[BadBurger]

I just finished True Detective season 1, and I loved every minute of it. I've heard good things about season 3, but is season 2 really as bad as people say? No spoilers please.

There's only three reasons to watch season 2:

• Colin Farrell's performance is good, even though the writing of his character is crummy
• Rachel McAdams's healthy cheeks
• Watching s2 will remind you that some TV is so awful that by the time you watch season 3, which is merely good-not-great TV, it will feel much better than it actually is

 

[BadBurger]

New ep of Reservation Dogs dropped. First they had a reflective episode with Bill Burr, now they snagged Marc Maron in a role that seems perfectly fitting for him. Loving this show.

 

[Rengoku]

Upright - Fantastic mini series. Hugely underrated imo. Feels like a 4 hour movie. Glad someone recommended it on the HOTD thread. The actress Milly Alcock did a fantastic job. This show is probably why she got cast in HOTD.

 

[sol_bad]

Wife and I have watched the first 6 episodes of The Bear, I'm loving it. It's about a world renowned chef that leaves his dream life and helps look after his brothers small time restaurant, the brother passed away and the restaurant is in shambles but he's dedicated to make it great.

 

[Ailynn]

Welp...
I don't think I'm gonna watch any more of those fashion shows.

This was actually one of the winning looks on the season 3 finale of Making the Cut:

That quote is actually from one of the judges.

All I can think of is this thing busting through a wall chasing someone in a Resident Evil game.

 

[sol_bad]

Finished season 1 of The Bear. Yeha, it's a great show and can't wait for the next season.

Jeremy Allen White is amazing as the lead (Carmy) and I can't wait to see Ebon Moss-Bachrach on Andor, I hope his role is significant. Even Ayo Edebiri was great as Sydney. They all are very talented.

Christopher Sorer is a great director too. The second last episode is only 20 minutes long but it's a single 1 take episode. It was intense as hell.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I've been watching What We Do In The Shadows. Really fun. I remember liking the movie but the series is even better. Matt Berry is always great.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

Almost finished with The Sandman. Certainly my favourite show this year on Netflix. I'm very impressed by the performances, especially by Tom Sturridge. Visuals are amazing, I especially loved Episode 4 so far. So many awesome scenes.

Very immersive show, incredibly easy to binge and get lost in it as well.

 

[BadBurger]

I decided to do a rewatch of Ted Lasso season 2 in preparation for the impending new season. Three episodes down, still one of the most refreshingly original comedy in many years. In fact it's even better than I remember.

Reservation Dogs - finished s2 e9. I still love what they're doing on this show. The way they just let things breathe, and aren't afraid confront deeply dramatic or emotional topics in what is ostensibly a comedy.

 

[GeekyDad]

Stranger

My wife and I started watching this about a week or so ago. It's (or thought it was -- turns out it is a regular series elsewhere) a 16-episode mini series (crime drama). Ugh...I made it through, I think, eight episodes, and then started bringing my PSP to the couch with me while she watched. It's so off-the-rails and ridiculous. I kept comparing it to Dynasty or Falcon Crest (from the 70s-80 style nighttime dramas like Dallas). Just fuckin' ridiculous. My wife is hooked, though. Whatever...

Wife and I really enjoyed season 1 but stopped watching season 2. The second season got too bogged down in the politics and became really boring.

 

[BadBurger]

I started Reboot, a Hulu original. It's not bad, there's some good ideas there. After two episodes it feels like the writers can't decide on the exact tone. There's a lot of giggles, not a lot of solid laughs.

Each character works on their own, but all together I am not feeling much chemistry for the most part. Johnny Knoxville is probably my favorite, he plays a character loosely based on his public image and past real-life exploits.

Every time I'm around someone who is watching The Big Bang Theory I'm surprised at the fact that Sheldon is in the show. He's such a stupid asshole, he's never funny, every other character is better than he his. How did this character not get nixed after the pilot?

Half these shows have one good season, ie breaking bad, mad men, etc

Fleabag #5 best show of all time? Succession and Veep are OK shows at best

It's nice of them to include band of brothers at 80... I don't even see Chernobyl on there

Top 10, off the top of my head, in no particular order , having never seen sopranos:

The wire
Band of brothers
The office uk
Game of thrones
Rome
Arrested development
Eastbound and down
John adams
Chernobyl
Planet earth

Honorable mention:
Dragon ball z

Well, at least The Muppet Show got a mention. What a great show when we were kids. But Carroll Burnett Show at 89? Should have been at least in the top 20, if not top 10. Honeymooners at 74?! Are you shittin' me!?

Had to stop reading when I saw Good Times in the 72 slot. And all the shit shows they listed ahead of them? What in the actual fuck? Eh...man, stuff like Good Times is not nostalgia. That was real shit, and they managed to make it something you could laugh about. Don't even wanna know where they put All in the Family.

Wife and I are watching Last Man on Earth on Disney+. Fuckin hilarious.

Just hit season 3 last night.
