We're on Silo at the moment.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 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.

[–] Atlusb@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

It broadens the world well

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] lemmybereal@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 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

We Are Lady Parts

Great show!

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Which season are you watching currently?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 11 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.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 4 points 11 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! !nebula@lemmy.world

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.

[–] nop@lemmy.world 3 points 11 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.

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 11 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.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] gila@lemm.ee 2 points 11 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+

[–] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 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

[–] Starfarer@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think you're talking about "Chuck"?

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Starfarer@lemmy.today 3 points 11 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"

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 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.

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 2 points 11 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.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 11 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.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 11 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.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

!dragonball@ani.social

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