We're on Silo at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I was so giddy when I saw they were making this. The books were soooo good, and there’s even some decent fanfic. Not unhappy with the changes they made yet, it’s been pretty good so far.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Without spoiling, does it live up to the first season?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It broadens the world well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I think so and they don't fuck around with filler episodes to draw out the plot. It's been great.

Good Omens Season 2. Gonna make it quick: Sadly it wasn’t as near as good as the first one. Bummer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I thought it was really awful - it didn't need to be made, and especially not during covid.

I've just watched the first episode of Silo. I read the books it's based on a couple of years ago and thought the premise was interesting but the plotting and prose were unsophisticated. They read like young adult novels. So I'm hoping Silo will take what was interesting about the premise and improve upon the rest.

I've also started the first season of Westworld, and so far I'm into it.

I had the same feeling with the books, the series got me hooked tho!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I tried Silo for a few episodes and was like, hm this basically a bad version of Fallout without the cheeky self awareness

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Stranger Things, because I find comfort in watching the same things over and over again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Which season are you watching currently?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just finished the last season. I'm sure I'll start it again before too long.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Probably before the next season is released! Lol

Last season was great, and loved the extra long episodes leading to the end.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah, I was surprised by how good season 4 was. My favorite after season 1, easily.

We Are Lady Parts

Two Seasons

Young muslim women starting a punk band

Great show!

I’m slowly making it through Dekalog. It’s an older polish mini-series about ethical dilemmas by a famous director that somehow made it to a very high spot in IMDb ranking. Turns out it’s a catholic propaganda which I could expect but somehow didn’t. Watching it for the 80s gloomy vibes now but it’s like I’m beaten with a club that has „go to church or your kid dies” written on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Just started watching Imposters. Only seen one episode and a few minutes of the second, but like the look of it so for.

My comfort watch has been Boston Legal. Haven't seen it for a few years. I love it, but jesus the main characters are terrible people.

Last night was also the season finale of Jet Lag on Nebula. (Episodes delayed one week on YouTube.) Easily their best season yet! [email protected]

Mystery Science Theater 3000. Lots of Gamera content this season!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Started watching Matlock (the new one). It’s OK, but they’re really dumbing down the plot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh I was rather enjoying that before Christmas. Is it back on already, or have you just been watching the first half of the season? Not super complex, but nice enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Don’t know why you got downvoted. I think the show it ok, just expected something a little more clever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I'm pretty sure I've got a troll stalking me. Nothing to get worried about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Finished "The Bear" this week. Great stuff, very intense um, cooking drama? Don't let that influence you, watch it. First episode will tell you if you want to watch the rest.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Got a lot on the go at the moment.

Half way through season 6 of Mad Men

5 episodes into the new season of Traitors

3 episodes into the second season of Slow Horses

Most of the way through the second season of Silo

Finished No Good Deed

Watched the first episode of The Curse but its a bit eh...

And finally just started some early 00s spy parody show where an agent dies but as the last thing he does he transfers a massive database of classified info into an old college friends mind somehow. The name escapes me though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think you're talking about "Chuck"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It is! Only seen a few episodes so far and it is OK I guess.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I watched it when I was younger and tried a rewatch recently. I think you're review is spot on. "Its OK I guess"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It is alright as a semi background show when you dont really want to concentrate on keeping up with what is going on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Finished up Hysteria!, it was a hoot. I especially liked Bruce Campbell as the calm and rational center of the series. Really stepped out of his comfort zone for this one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

anime called link click as it looks like crunchy roll has some unlocked season1's going again. maybe we will see as they are inconsistant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I've been continuing through Two Weeks to Live and I started The Peripheral. Enjoying them both.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Shrinking. For whatever reason I forgot about the whole cast other than Ford/Segel by the time S2 came around, but I remembered how much I enjoyed S1 as soon as I threw it on. Finished the season within a couple of days. A+

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Landman, Afro Samurai, Chopped, The Tick, Creature Commandos, and Kitchen Nightmares. Only a couple episodes into Landman, but I'm diggin it so far! Creature Commandos is shockingly good as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I finished the first session of Heels. I really enjoyed it. I didn't expect much out of, but was pleasantly surprised.

Mike O'Malley crushes in the role of the rival promoter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Dragon Ball Daima, it's been mostly good. It's Dragon Ball so I need to watch it lol.

I would've also watched Dexter Original Sin this week, but they skipped this week!
