What TV shows have you recently watched? No Spoilers please!

Saw the season 2 finale of Dark Winds last night. I'm a fan of the books, so I really hope there will be a season 3.

Watching Two Broke Girls on Roku Channel. Probably my favorite comedy show ever.

Just finished S2 of Happy Valley, another Brit cop show. But not just another though, one of their best. It's actually getting better as it goes along. The acting is so good, it deserves one of the highest ratings I've ever seen on Prime.
 

Just came across this channel and I’m hooked lol

Edit: Spoiler alert: It’s adorable.
 
We watched both Black Adam and The Bat on Prime. Also working on a series called the Queens of Mystery...

Watching One Piece. Its extremely silly but I like it.
 
Rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the umpteenth time.
 
Just started season two of wheel of time last night. Wasn't expecting the actor switch they made with Mat. =( Excited to continue it, but a little disappointed, I felt like the original actor did a phenomenal job. I know I need to give the new actor a chance, but still a bummer. I really don't like it when they do that. I can't find a reason for it online either.

I don’t like it much when they do that either, but they must have had a compelling reason - the actor might not have been available for some reason and they don’t always announce their reasons, curious though the public always is about this stuff.

At least I’m resigned to Loial looking like he does and the voice is spot on I think - so that helps.

That spike thing was rather gruesome...wasn't expecting that! I haven't read the books...

I’ve read all the books through at least 3 times. The show is not particularly close to the books, they’re having to leave out a ton of stuff, the subplots and so on, which is too bad but understandable. It was a huge challenge to bring this tale to the screen, no question about that.

There’s a lot of gruesome in the books.

Jumping on the bandwagon. Dont have anything to watch right now so I started Wheel of Time. :)
 
Yes read the books but to go by the books they’d need 20+seasons. Lucky for me I read them when they came out. Lots I don’t remember :). But I’m enjoying the series.
The original Mat left because of covid. He wasn’t in the last 3 episodes of the first series.

More like 30 seasons If they’d really tried to be faithful to the books! Just not possible - I’m actually quite surprised they picked this one to bring to TV - I’d have thought it was just too big and too complex a tale.

Though I’m glad they’ve done it all the same.
 
Not watching very mush tv. Some trashy reality shows is all.

I've been pretty fascinated by the live cams on explore.org. Particularly the live bear cams.
Which, I guess being a fish lover is kind of morbid since the cams follow the bears fattening up on salmon.

Oh and the sloth cam. haha. It's very relaxing and they're so cute.
 
Watched the first episode of The Swarm on CW last night...I know it's an old series from Netflix, I think....

Yeah...I posted earlier about that...:eek: I did not see that coming...I was expecting a beheading, maybe, but not that spike thing....ewww
 
I'm watching WoT too.

I don't remember if I was expecting it, but once it happened I wasn't surprised. I might have expected it to aim for his eye instead.

I don't feel it's too slow. I guess I'm in no rush.

I do find myself confused sometimes though, and need to google things mid-episode :D.
 
I started watching Rings of Power again recently (watched it the first time last year when it was released). I'm finding it a bit difficult because though there are some good scenes, it just drags a little too much. I feel like they could have condensed the season in half and it would have been a lot more exciting.

I wasn’t shocked by the spiking as much as the I thought he died last season.
 
Just finished Disenchantment. Sad that it’s over, but I’ve watched season1-4 a few times over so it won’t be missed :)

Agreed. I still haven't finished the season yet, only about halfway through. I keep forgetting to go back and finish it.

These are really good. It's a good time to watch bears catching fish.
Ooh, a new alone series just popped up for me, Alone UK, just when we finish the one from Oz/Taz. It's set in Canada though. I wonder any of them will last long. Should be interesting seeing a fresh set of characters. I though Brits just did baking shows!
 
So I went ahead and finally watched Halloween Ends on Prime. I know it got some bad reviews, but hey, it's the end of an era.

I just hope that Blue Oyster Cult is still getting paid from EVERY SHOW, MOVIE, TRAILER, etc., that feels the need to play "Don't Fear the Reaper"...LOL! :D

I mean, come on, people!!!

I'm behind on the latest Halloweens =(
Was going to watch Ends until I realized there was one before it and it's not even available on prime. Do I have that right? Lol

Did start watching Tell Me Your Secrets on prime. It's interesting enough that I want to know more. I'm not sure what I think of it yet though. Only a couple episodes in.

The one before that is Halloween Kills, and I haven't watched that one either. I think you have to buy or rent it on Prime in order to see it. Halloween Ends was at least free with Prime membership. Honestly, I don't think I missed much by not seeing Halloween Kills...:rolleyes:
 
What We Do in the Shadows had great season 5. Archer's final season is great so far. And now we have Our Flag Means Death and Rick & Morty coming back next month. I'm so excited.

Since you've got WWDITS and OFMD covered, did you also watch the other piece of the trifecta, Good Omens?
 
Started season two of Good Omens.

Sheen and Tenant are just so good together.

They really are excellent in those roles, aren’t they? I actually didn’t like Sheen much ‘til I saw him in Good Omens but I’ve been a fan of David Tenant since before Dr Who. He is always worth watching.

I have started watching The Winter King on Prime, which is a very different imagining of the Arthurian legends. Very Dark Ages, but so far, so good.

Also TWOT and I really can’t believe they’re as far into this particular part of the tale already and am rather dismayed with some of the liberties they’re taking, even though I am making wide allowance for the challenges of bringing the story to TV. I guess I’ll have to keep watching to see what else they do with it.

Now that I know you'll know what I'm talking about - on a quick glance I sometimes read your username as Furfur :D

Yeah, it’s one of those pairings that just works. Like they genuinely enjoy working with each other and use it to better their performances.

I think so too. I saw them do an interview during COVID with Stephen Colbert and got the impression they got along very well, as much as one can tell on a Zoom interview at least.

Given the ending of Season 2 I hope it won’t take so long for Season 3!

I can think of worse misreadings :). Not that you asked but if anyone asks I make an obvious explanation of it - I’m into cats and fish but I wouldn’t want catfish for a username.

In truth it comes from one of the books in a Sci-fi/fantasy series by Julian May, where one of many alien species in the world of the series is not only aquatic but also from a very cold planet, so they wear fish fur coats to keep warm. Since fur is not something that I’d normally associate with fish, I guess the idea stayed with me.
 
Futurama as rubber duckies.



I’ll just, I’ll just leave that there lol It’s an anthology episode.

Adam cracks me up. LOVE this show so much.
 
After BPSabelhaus reminder, finished Disenchantment.

My reaction watching Eric from Sex Ed swings between "I can't believe this kid's gonna be the Doctor Who" and "I believe this kid will make a great Doctor" :D. I know he's no younger than Matt Smith was, but he just looks so babyface :D. Probably why they had him grow a moustache for the Doctor's role (and it's done the trick). Anyway, haven't started the new season yet, but definitely planning.
 
Ok all caught up on the wheel of time. Still enjoying it but got lots of questions!

Did the next few come out yet?
 
Watching some silly things on Prime... Korean comedy series called Heart Beat about a vampire who wants to become human, cute and funny in places, and a 1970's horror movie called The House that Dripped Blood, which is tame by today's standards...

Wish they would make a season 2 of Three Pines, but I know that's not gonna happen...

Me too. The books that it’s based on are excellent and they did such a nice job making into TV I was really hoping it would carry on.
