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

Being a full time incubator, I have a lot of time on my hands, and ive run out of quality shows to watch. My husband and I are big Prime show fans. The Boys was great, and their spinoff Gen V is pretty good so far. Just very gorey, graphic shows if you're sensitive to that. Invincible is AMAZING, also gorey. Not kids shows for sure lol!!

If you like star trek and family guy, you'll like The Orville. What We Do In the Shadows is hands down one of the funniest shows I've watched.

Is the Orville on Prime? I loved that show but it vanished or so I thought.

It was on Hulu, they switched to Fox. Not sure if Hulu still has it or not, but it might be on there. I'm not sure I've seen it anywhere else.
 
I just started Clarkson’s Farm yesterday. I’m on annual leave from work, so I’m hoping to binge watch it :D

It’s really good/funny! Totally recommended.

I must look on Fox then. I don’t watch Fox so I’ve no clue what’s on it.
 
Just finished an anime series called The Pilot's Love Song, and it was good!

And the new season of Fargo starts tonight, so gaonna watch that. It's usually entertaining! It's been a couple of years since season 4 ended.

I binge watched the new season of Selling Sunset in a few days- my guilty pleasure show.

Watching the Midnight Club right now. Now I know where a bunch of the kids on house of usher came from.....lol
 
Did anyone else watch the Ballad of Song Birds and snakes? If so what did you think?

I haven’t watched yet but looking forward to it. Not sure when it comes out in Canada though...

(10 sec later edit after a google search)

It actually looks like will be going to watch it this Friday! I am not a huge fan of the hunger games in general but I still enjoyed them and I am definitely interested to know more of Snows backstory.

:D I watched it last sunday, if you have read the book it is quite different! :) I hope you enjoy it!

I have been watching Roseanne a lot lately, especially while wrapping gifts. That, and Snapped.
 
We finally finished watching Ted Lasso. Man, I love that series. It looks like they wrapped it up for no season 4, but it would be nice if it came back.

We also started watching the 2nd season of Welcome to Wrexham. Canada is always late to get any series.
 
Saw the season finale of Surreal Estate last night, and it was pretty good. It also seems like it could be a series finale, which I hope that it is not.
 
I admit it, I watched the RL "Squid Game, The Challenge" series. I only had a vague idea of what the Korean TV show was about going in. I don't at all go for Big Brother interpersonal drama stuff, but I think they didn't over-do it with the show. Overall, I was quite entertained.

It reminded me a bit of the first season of Survivor in that with a new format, players didn't have much time to try and game things too much so some of the dilemmas players faced were really interesting.

Watching Virgin River right now..... :)
 
Watched the first season of Gen V. If you like The Boys, its made in the same universe.
 
GenV is well done on its own. Just the fact that they took some mental disorders and made them into superpowers is outrageous! Typical The Boys mentality!
Hope they continue it or mix it with The Boys. Actors did a great job!

Not much on TV now. Watched Good Omens and it was a pleasant easy show to watch but the second season one twist kind of ruined the series for me.
Watched a show on bonsai trees and forests in general on hbo last night that was interesting. But with nothing new coming out I think the NFL would score some huge numbers if they added Tuesday,Wednesday and Friday night football :rolleyes: :D .
 
Just started watching the new Percy Jackson show with the family. Enjoying it. So much different from the movies, which I really enjoyed, but my family who read the books say that it's more accurate to the books and love it. Looking forward to the next episodes!

Finished Virgin River now on season 2 of The 100.

Just watched first season of Yellowjackets. Told over two time lines 25 years apart. I think season 1 builds and season 2 goes very dark.

Thinking about Van Helsing next.
 
Finished the first season of Halo, and it was better than I thought it would be.

Finished the first season and starting on the second season of Case Histories, an older BBC mystery series with Jason Issacs.
 
Recently I’ve rewatched Gilmore girls, finished young Sheldon on Monday, and finished my life with the Walter boys yesterday. All on Netflix. Next I’m probably going to watch virgin river. Idk I’ll have to look through Netflix.

If you like Gilmore girls you will like Virgin River.

I watched the first episode of Yellowjackets and the soccer scene made me freak out and I stopped watching. I'm such a wimp.

I'm also a glutton for punishment though and have been wanting to go back to it after watching the second season trailer, lol.
 
Started watching season 1 of Curse Code on Amazon....really creepy so far. It's a Thai show, so you have to read subtitles, which I don't mind.
 
Stumbled on to "Survive the Raft" playing on the Discovery channel. Was just going to leave it on in the background, but then realized it was a really interesting show, so we looked it up to start watching from the beginning. It's kind of like Survivor but there is a really interesting back story to it, as they are loosely imitating a real life experiment from 1973 where a diverse group of people were set up on a big raft together as a social experiment. Well worth checking it out if you are in to these kinds of shows.
 
Watching the latest adaption of Harlan Coben "Fool me Once", this time a UK one. Pretty good so far. It seems more twists than a cork screw
 
Saw a trailer for a Silver and the Book of Dreams. Definitely starting that one up.

Lol watching with the wife. Episode 6 I think. Yeah what’s the point? They are really reaching on this. I really don’t care who did it and wish the writer was the victim! But I guess the Brits weren’t on strike and there is nothing else on.

I don't watch a great deal of TV, so even though it's an old show, I watched tanked for the first time.
It was okay, but some of their choices of fish seemed a little strange.
 
I must look on Fox then. I don’t watch Fox so I’ve no clue what’s on it.
The Orville was first aired on Fox in 2017, but that was only the first season. When it was cancelled, Hulu decided to pick it up. Currently it is available on Disney+ and still on Hulu according to Google.

The problem with the spread out and scattered timing of the episodes has been that McFarlane insists on writing and controlling everything. Since he's also responsible for Family Guy, my opinion of his work is not very good. Personally, the first season of The Orville wasn't terrible, the second was. Have not seen the third, probably won't. Production is slick, but just not entertaining. Acting is amateurish.

The writer's strike has caused me to get bored with the reruns of my shows. Blue Bloods being a favorite, I'm hoping they get going again before some of the actors get too old. NCIS quality dropped a lot in the last few seasons, hoping they can recover when they start up again. Was watching a few cartoons on Netflix, nothing worth talking about. Mostly I wait for new Gabriel Iglesias specials.

Huh. I really like The Orville - except some of the comedy stuff, that is, IMO, not nerdy enough for a show that by its nature is aimed at nerds - it relies too much on pop culture, which I do not know or understand, instead of a geek culture. Must be the "Family Guy" side of the thing. But that is my one and only complaint.

When it comes to the plot, it's pretty strong, pretty much Star Trek at its best. To me, season one was the weakest, as they seemed undecided on their tone. S2 was a better, and S3, I dare to say, was great. Also S3 made me cry in each and every episode, without exceptions.
 
The new season of All Creatures Great and Small started this past Sunday, so that was good. Another good show was this evening's Nature, also on PBS. It's usually pretty good with some great photography.
 
Does anyone have a recommendation? Looking for a show on Netflix similar to Gilmore Girls and Virgin River. Not sure what show to watch next.

"Never have I ever" is pretty good. Its about a family from India. More of a teen show but it is cute and funny.

Have you watched Emily in Paris? Or Ginny and Georgia?

I’ve watched Ginny and Georgia a while ago but I might rewatch it. Haven’t seen Emily in Paris. Thanks for the suggestions!
 
Watched Grimm when it was released and just finished watching all seasons all over again. Finished Echo in two sittings.
 
Gonna call this a show even though it's a movie.

Stargate origins Catherine. Obviously part of Stargate of which I always loved because it's was just a fantastic portrayal of strong women for the time. Carter is just fantastic (again this is the 90's she was amazing) Which is why I don't understand how I didn't watch this movie from 2008. I'm guessing the girl power of this one got it shut down in discussion by the "men" It's just perfect Stargate campiness taking itself just serious enough. Only with female system lords with all female armies. People they "enslave" love her because she is a true God bringing good health to her people.

It even has an actual gay couple *gasping* along with the completely oblivious straight best friend lol It's all played out in typical Stargate campiness while doing a lot to actually expand the rest of the Stargate serious and other movies that were actually talked about a lot more.

I loved Teal'c as a kid. Rarely talked, responded in his basic yes/no of indeed. But when he spoke it was thoughtful, important and philosophical. I'm autistic and suffer from selective mutism where when I'm anxious I physically cannot speak, or am limited to yes no type responses. Like Teal'c I'm not stupid lol I can speak, eloquently even. If it's supposed important and of interest to me.

That man is still a role model for me.

Saw season 1 of Only Murders in the Building, and we enjoyed it! I am a long time fan of Steve Martin, loved seeing Sting in the show, and the chemistry between Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short is really great!
 
After rewatching Dare Devil season two we jumped into the punisher season one, which is the first time for me seeing it. Almost done with that then back to Dare Devil for season three. Getting ready for his come back into the marvel universe.

Still haven't started Echo just yet.

Family and I have been watching Oak Island as well. Started in the beginning and just continued along. The repetition is much, but still we enjoy it and laugh about what would happen if we took a sip every time someone nodded, haha.

Before you watch Echo, you should watch Hawkeye. I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary, but it helps. A lot of the Marvel stuff is intertwined between the various stories, especially the series that were taken away from Netflix. Not a spoiler, just fair warning.

We actually already watched that one. Loved it!
 
Today, I will wrap up Star Trek The Original Series season 1!
As much as i love watching them, as much i look forward to progressing to The Next Generation. ( i think i'll skip the animated series)

Cool, the Next Generation is the best of all the star trek's, I think so anyway.
 
I'm watching Hazbin Hotel rn. Been waiting on it for 10ish years, so even if it's a little cringey, I'm enjoying it. They've got some excellent voice actors on board, Keith David's voice is like silk, and Erika Henningsen absolutely brought the "H E [doubel hockey sticks]'s Disney princess" concept to life (did not know that word gets censored lol). The songs, characters, and animation make the show worth a watch (make sure you know what you're getting into though if you've never heard of it before).

Loved that show. I think I could watch it again too. Still looking for similar shows.
