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

Started Marvel's Legion for the first time. Almost at the season finale for the first season. Waiting for more of it to make sense. Eerie, but I like the unusual cast and plot. Never read the comics though.

That sounds very interesting. I was never a devoted comic book reader but I read just enough of them to be a total sucker for any show or film based on comic books.

Started with reruns of the original Superman show in B&W back when I was a very little kid in the 50s.

I keep meaning to watch The Blacklist. I used to think James Spader was rather limited as an actor but he grew on me as he got older.

Yes James Spader is definitely the star of the show. Love his character and great acting in this. Maybe not so much for the female lead though

Watched a RomCom with Glen Powell in it yesterday. Kept waiting for someone to say Chad Radwell.....I will give bonus points to anyone who gets that! Without looking it up! lol

Started watching one of my all time fav shows AGAIN yesterday. The Magicians. :D Love Elliot and Margo.
 
Had to watch Fallout, as I played two of the games, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. Got me started back up with Fallout 4. A tricky game series to move to a show, but they did it extremely well. The attention to detail is amazing.

I still watch NCIS the original, but it's going downhill fast. I tried all of the spinoffs but didn't like any of them. NCIS: Los Angeles was the worst.

I watch a lot of shows, but Blue Bloods is still a favorite. Unfortunately, I believe it's about done. There are several channels that frequently have reruns, but I've never been a fan of watching something I've seen before. Exception is Jurassic Park/World movies, but I prefer to see them in a theater.
 
Watched the first episode of the new season of Reginald the Vampier on the SYFY channel last night. The show is losely based on the Fat Vampire book series by Johnny Truant. Also watching the CW show Sight Unseen, and Will Trent.

I binge watched Clarkson's Farm on Amazon. The language is awful, but I learned a lot about farming, and the incredible issues and problems involved. Some really funny stuff, too, so pretty entertaining!
 
Yes my wife and I have different types of show we like to watch. She watched top gear but never liked Clarkson. So when his farm show came on she was all against it. Yes he curses! He’s crude and generally very full of himself. I really thought the farm show was going to be a joke. One episode had both of us :). He took it for real. Started with nothing (but money) opened my eyes to what farmers go through. He shows it all and could be a documentary on farming in England. Plus some of it is just hilarious!
 
The next season of The Boys is being released in a week or so.
I watched the first few seasons some time ago now so I guess I might even go back and watch it again before moving onto the latest.

Also give me a break from The Blacklist. 218 episodes is one long slog

I watched Blue Bloods for the longest time because well... Donnie Wahlberg :D
And the show is good too. I haven't watched for a few years now though.

We're always looking for new shows and so we started Only Murders in the Building which has been great; Comedy and drama all in one. We also started watching Under the Bridge which is a series based on an murder of a teenaged girl that happened here in Victoria, BC in the 90's.

The other thing we've been into lately is the true crime documentaries. Sins of our Mother was a crazy one. Just mindblowing :eek:
 
I watched The Bear recently, extremely stressful but very good (If you can sit through a lot of cussing). Went into it pretty much blind after seeing some fan art months and months ago which piqued my interest.
 
I bought a digital copy of Godzilla Minus One on Amazon, and it was very good. I missed it when it was showing in the theaters. It's not too campy/silly like some of the Godzilla movies.

Finished Bridgerton and have been watching Evil. Kind of like the X-files with demons instead of Aliens.

Just finished binging Seasons 1 and 2 of The Bear. Season 3 is starting soon.

Husband passed on it when I first watched it. Got him hooked now.

It's stressful!
Fishes, good gosh! I actually knew families like that growing up.
Forks, right after was like a palate cleanser.

Goodness, Fishes, I'd say it's probably the worst thing I've watched, purely because they did such a good job at portraying it all and conveying the feelings to the audience. It's close to my heart too, dynamics like that. Stand-out piece of cinema, I think they hit the nail on the head of what they wanted it to be.
And you're right about Forks, phew.

I didn't know there was going to be a 3rd season!

Apparently, one of the episodes (I forgot which) in season 1 was filmed in one continuous shot, pretty cool. May go back to see it properly.

Same!
 
Season 2 Blood of Zeus on Netflix was even better than season one. The animation and story is fantastic.

Finally watched Silo, and oh my god, I haven't been truly engrossed in a show in ages. Dystopian. 1984 meets City of Ember. Casting could not have been done better, pacing was consistent (and if you're like me, that one is a biggie). Music and plot just drag you in, each ep ends on it's own cliffhanger, I could not get enough. Dying for the next season! If anybody has seen it and has some reccs, I'd love some!
 
Severance is another Apple tv dystopian show. Bit of a slow burn but worth it and season 2 coming. In fact there are a bunch of scifi made by apple I wouldn't mind having a look at

Yeh that's it he plays a good part. Very different to any show I've ever seen but really well done
 
I recently saw Under the Banner of Heaven. It’s a limited series based on a true story of an awful crime. Andrew Garfield is the star of it and him as well as the rest of the cast did great jobs with their characters. It does have a lot to do with religion if that might bother anyone looking into it but it’s a definite recommendation if you’re looking for something to watch over a few days and like crime/true stories. It’s pretty sad in my opinion.
 
Just finished the first and second season of a Korean fantasy/horror show called Tale of the Nine Tailed on Prime. They were pretty good, but you have to read subtitles, which I don't mind doing, since you can pause, and reread as needed.
 
House of the Dragon's season 2 started last night, so that.

Last of Us is supposed to be airing soon as well according to the preview.
 
Just saw a preview for the next season of Futurama. Looks like Professor Katz is trying to take over the multiverse from the Farnsworth Parabox episode lol

Yes, He's in a box within a box that contains the whole universe lol

It's great, but does get a bit boring saving the world every season. They even make fun of it in the show lol. That and Doom Squad really got me. Similar thing, stuck in a time loop effectively and embrace the silliness of it. Additionally, they do it without resorting to teenage boy sex humor and over gore like The Boys. Kind of got to be a bit too much trying to get all over social media with the latest line to push. Can ya try to write something funny rather than showing it? Sometimes things are funnier off screen where the dialog forces you to think about the story just told. You want your audience to react with the same confusion as the characters on screen lol

Is that disgust? Probably not. Use all the foul language you want describing it, the weirder the better lol

Finished season two of Reginald the Vampire....jury's out on that one. I think I liked the first season better.

Also watching some episodes of My Life is Murder with Lucy Lawless.

I did get a chance to finally see Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and it was fun, like so many Godzilla movies are.

Watched The Mayfaire Witches by Anne Rice. Pretty good so far! Currently watching A Discovery of Witches on Netflix. That one is really good so far too!

Waiting for Emily in Paris pt2 and the Outer Banks. I hate them splitting the seasons when they are only 10 episodes. :mad: Cobra Kai is just being really stupid. I guess it keeps you from cancelling.

Anyone know when Wheel of Time is coming back?

Gotta love that big noisy hunk of wet spikes on a heap of muscles, don’t you? And the ape isn’t bad either!
 
I have a few time travel shows lined up. I've watched part of them but need to probably start again and watch the whole series of Bodies, Dark and Outer Range.
 
I just finished the fallout show, even without ever playing any of the games or knowing anything about it I still was able to follow along and it was entertaining. It’s worth the watch if you’re into shows like that

Just finished Dark. Pretty good thou season 3 is pretty back and forth in different times.
 
I'm pretty mainstream...watching the new season of Rings of Power on Amazon. I'm really trying to like it, but it's just so slow moving with too much boring dialog and not enough action.

I read somewhere that Wheel of Time won't be around until 2025 :(

But Amazon is showing the Lord of the Rings - Rings of Power thing right now, and I just didn't like it very much to watch past the first 3 episodes.

Watched The OA and currently watching The Boys.
 
Makes me wish I could justify the expense of paying for multiple streaming services.
