What TV series are you watching at moment?

Finally finished Frasier, started Wet Hot American Summer because I need a 30 minutes or less half-brainless show to watch when I eat supper in the evenings. Thinking I may start The League after, heard good things about it.

The movie is great of course, only saw the first episode of the series though and I'm a tad worried it's gotten actually cheesy and not just fake cheesy. I'll find out soon enough though...

 

Party down looks fun, has some good people in it, but isn't on Netflix or Amazon so not on my radar for now. Will keep an eye out though, thanks!

Comedy/sci-fi/surrealism shows like rick & morty, adventure time and space dandy are my all time favorite shows, any recommendations on shows like that?

 

btw, just queued Home Movies...

 

 

slightly off topic but i just found out about two new? Louis CK shows;

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4370596/ and

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5425186/

Are they worth checking out?

 

sounds like The Venture Bros. might be up your alley if you haven't seen it already

sitcoms:

-yeah, american wet summer series is very cheesy, but still ok. nothing grounbreaking and I wont argue with people who think its shit. its arguably shit lol

 

-party down is a few step better, one of my fav recent ''sitcom''.very underrated. filled with great (now very popular actors as well).

 

-dont miss on brooklyn nine nine, best sitcom in a long time and on netflix. again, some dont like it, but I think its just one of the best thing in a long time. think community season 1 quality imo

 

-silicon valley is great fun

 

-finally, eastbound and down (two first seasons) are also very fun

personally, im not sure what is happening to louis ck.

his recent stand ups are definitely not as good as his previous material.

 

he has like 4 new shows: Baskets, one missippi, horace and pete, better things

 

his Louie new season that I used to love is crap, better things I didnt liked but Ive only listened to one episode, horace and pete is a bad joke and I stopped listening (the concept is interesting but after a while it seems just random), one missippi first episode I didnt like much more then better thing (but again Ive only watched one episode).

 

it seems theres a prevalent negativity and fakeness to his recent material. 

 

I havent tried his Baskets show

Always Sunny In Philidelphia - Season Premier last night

 

Possibly my favorite episode of the show ever. Amazing lols.

The TV series really doesn't match up to the books, which were actually quite funny in places. Mostly the stale acting, real shame tho

 

Really recommend the books if you haven't read them

 

I had no idea they were based on a book series, I'll get on that, cheers

wait people who havent seen venture bros need to stop what theyre doing and do that now

Brooklyn Nine Nine is on Netflix? Awesome, definitely gonna try it, it looks great from small snippets I've seen. Also wanna do Eastbound and Down too, great suggestions, thanks :)

Seriously!

Who is greenlighting these series on Viceland? Lol

 

fauda - pretty good so far i guess? stupid bleepbloop CSI computer noises whenever there's a computer nearby, but other than that ..

Tripped

goodish! greatish!

Edited January 6, 2017 by iococoi

There's too many shows

planet earth 2 - watched only the first ep so far, but i thought it's just really dumb and pointless tbh. the incessant anthropomorphization of animals and dramatization of their actions, as if they have some actual thought processes and emotions and aren't just essentially dumb and have basically four things to do in all of their lives (eat, don't get eaten, fuck, raise offsprings), gets annoying pretty quick. i mean it's kinda childish really, as if its aimed at creationists or someone like that who believe in some sort of purpose behind nature and can appreciate it on its own right without the human element. after all, nature is just mostly pointless dirt and death with some lush shots here and there, what's the big deal really? in a few decades people will be engineering all kinds of weird animals themselves, so what's the point of fetishing what just randomly came into existence?

reflecting on those thoughts, it's kinda funny that i really liked nature docs in my childhood, watching them with mom a lot, dunno why i got so jaded in that regard. maybe it's somehow related to relationship with my mother and not to actual rationalization i mentioned? will probably have to consult limpyloo in psychology thread.

But animuls r cool

feel the same way about animal anthropomorphization, it's annoying AF..

Whoever produced this probably thought it's a good idea to use this shit to increase empathy in the viewers' minds. Which is fully misguided. They do have these very lush shots, would be enough to let these just speak for themselves. It's been done in the past, it's called "decent documentary"

Taboo - Peaky Blinders meets Dickens meets early 19thC stereotypes with a sprinkle of Heart of Darkness

 

looks respectable, set design wise, although Tom Hardy hams it oop in nearly every scene

 

(and dint the wardrobe folks look @ his hat n think "naaaaaah"?)

 

of course ep2 will be watched

Pretty much with you. The show has production & seems to be competent... but it still feels flat. However, had just enough of "where is this going" to interest me for another tune in.

 

Also been watching X-File episodes syndicated over here in the states. Been thoroughly enjoying. Warm feels and fuzzy memories abound.

Just saw the episode "War of the Coprophages", one I don't remember from my youth, but twas amazing. A Darin Morgan episode.
