What TV series are you watching at moment?

American Horror Story: Cult episode 1. Oh yeah, this season gon be good. Emma Roberts is always great on this show. Kind of some Purge vibes, reflecting America's violence in a mirror.

alright, so there's this show, Greenhouse Academy. I aint gonna go into details because its terrible trash aimed at teens. Except the first episode where some kiddiewinks watch their own astronaut mother die in a fiery explosion on live tv, got a good cackle out of that

what was weird, though, is that during the credits they showed portrait photos (or just selfies...) of the various main characters with a social media alias beneath. At first I thought it was some weird meta 4th wall thing where the "characters" had social media feeds, but it's literally just the actors and actresses' Twitter/Instagram profiles. Is this a thing now? Is harvesting "social media impressions" going to be part of actor contracts soon?

good luck out there Gen Z, capitalism turned into a helluva thing

Watched all of the new season of Bojack this weekend. Episodes 2 and 11 are basically flawless and completely devastating. This show just seems to keep topping itself over and over again.

This is one of those times I'm actually glad Rick and Morty exists, so that Bojack can go on being quietly, exceptionally brilliant without getting overhyped and crawling up its own asshole.

Finished 'Better Call Saul' on Netflix so I started on Breaking Bad. I was really turned off by the hype of this show years ago, but genuinely enjoying it so far.

I don't know about your hood but Bojack was getting hyped plenty a couple of years ago even when I was living in the Inner West (Sydney hipsterland). it's just fallen short of getting the mass attention that R&M now has since season 3.

U.S., Pacific Northwest. Our hipster culture has largely been displaced by the influx of Microsoft and Amazon tech bros, to say nothing of the rise of PAX. So it's all Rick and Morty all the time, except for the circles I tend to frequent. I'm just glad that critics are on board and it's relatively inexpensive, so it will probably live as long as it wants to.

Preacher S2 Finale - Very enjoyable offering with some good scenes and several laughs.

PSA - South Park's new season starts tonight for those interested. 

wanted to like this, but honestly thought it was very boring. also, i didn't buy a lot of these characters i.e. they weren't very believable. maggie gyllenhaal was pretty good though

david simon sucks

lol

well, this was underwhelming. it's (obviously) a spoof of star trek but none of the jokes are funny. even worse is the casting and acting: besides mcfarlane, whose strongest suit is his voice, almost everyone fails to sell their character. another meh show that comes off more as an expensive fan movie on a network budget. 

what kinda name is the orville

Yeah, I forgot I watched this the other night. It was trying way too hard to be serious/realistic, the comedic aspects were pretty much forgotten and/or very weak. Sad to see, it's a good idea, just reveres the original too much for its own good. Would've been much better as a 30 minute show, and with someone reigning in the writers to be, ya know, funny. A lot of the acting was weak, a lot of the episode and even the characters really felt like filler...and that's sad given it was setting up literally everything for the 'world.'

Worst part of it is, this is probably better than the actual new Star Trek will be. 

Just started watching Ozark. It seems fine, if a bit cliched in after Breaking Bad, etc. Too mentally exhausted to be arsed to find something better to watch so it'll do for now.

OK I actually like this a decent amount. Shouldn't be a problem to finish this season.

Think I'm half way through Ozark. Not bad so far. Definitely got better as the the episodes progressed.

Took me a little while to get used to that fucking blue colour grading too.

That being said, it was not good. Might stick with it (Trek had much worse premieres/episodes) but if the new Trek show is any good I'll probably quit sooner than later.

Weird timing for the release of Seth's show.

Is it supposed to be a comedy though? McFarlane hasn't been shy about his love of Star Trek and this just seems like a fanfilm in that regard, like he wants to do a serious SF show with a little bit of humor.

It would've been MUCH more interesting if it was more in that vein/quality of humor, but I didn't really expect that from Macfarlane. I remember either reading or thinking when this show was first announced, "oh great idea! Star Trek but Galaxy Quest humor, in a weekly tv show? Hell yeah!" But this is nothing like that. Nothing at all like that. Ugh.

Yeah, I'll give it another episode or two to see if anything comes from it. Pilots are often the worst episode of a series, I get that.

It was advertised, from what I saw, as a comedy. And I'm one of those horrid tasteless white people who like Macfarlane's comedy usually, so I was hoping for a funny show. The poster there tags it as a 'space adventure show' though, so maybe Fox doesn't even know what it really is yet.

The thing is, if he wants to do a show like ST that stays serious but has some humor in it, okay, but make it good, and unique. This was a total rip-off of ST TNG/Voyager style but *nudges u in da ribs* it's funny hehe right? right? wink wink ....like a SERIOUS rip-off. Which is fine if you take it down a comedy route, Star Trek but hilarious and silly! Great, could be awesome. But that first episode didn't do that at all imo. We'll see I guess.
