I've really enjoyed the first season of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and how not a single episode from it would ever be aired in today's PCTV climate.  It's interesting to see a sitcom completely unconcerned about any of its characters coming across as even remotely decent people.  Seinfeld set a bit of a precedent for that I suppose, but ASIP takes it a lot further.  There's not a sympathetic character among them, yet I recognize them all.  I'm curious to see how the show evolved as the social climate around it went sensitivity-crazy.  That didn't have any censoring effect on South Park, only made them bolder.  But I'd be surprised to see another show manage that.

i'm basically watching Deep Space 9 again at this point since nothing else is on

 

Good choice, I've been gradually working through it on and off for a like a year now and finished some weeks ago. Excellent and dense chapter of the show.

 

Then I started Voyager and all the complaints about Discovery seem redundant or overblown. Might just go start TNG from season 3.

Stoked to watch OA II. The movement thing never bothered me, anyone familiar with Druidic studies will recognize the importance of movement to get to higher planes.

Yeah I lol pretty hard at anyone who criticizes Discovery but enjoys VOY or Enterprise. And I liked both those shows despite their flaws! But the rose tinted glasses are real.

 

I started with season 3 basically and I’m kind of surprised at how consistent the show already is at this point. There’s been a couple clunkers (Meridian and the Lwaxana menopause episode that makes everyone horny) but overall it’s already super engaging. For some reason I just always associate Sisko’s baldness + Worf as when the show gets good. Never been happier to be wrong.

The finale of Nathan For You was one of the greatest episodes of TV I've ever seen.

 

Agree.  This season has had me hyperventilating laughing with tears in my eyes on several occasions.  Rewatched a few episodes over the weekend.  The bit where the new ghost realtor psychic talks with the dead one is unbelievable.  Also I lol every time I think of the dude losing his shit over the Uber sulfur farts Mambo #5 torture chamber.

I've been doing this too, about to finish season 4. I never watched it when it aired and am pleasantly surprised with hpw good it is, especially starting around S.3. 

 

At first some of the acting bothered me (especially Sisko), but it's gotten better.

Sisko especially starts coming into his own around s2 and s3. Everybody really - Kira gets less angry, Bashir gets less horny, etc

Yeah but we have 8 years of him tops. Marvel has been ruining the entertainment industry for like 15 years.

afaik i usually place all my cum drops on scientifically sterilized glass slides which are carefully frozen and placed in trash cans throughout the city labelled "for women ❤️ alco" with my social security and phone numbers.

punisher's pretty great though, best one of the marvel netflix shows so far (not saying much though I guess), not surprisingly because this is the least superhero'y one yet. 

I'm liking Runaways so far, has a very John Hughes 80s vibe to it (mostly Breakfast Club), very bright and colorful version of Los Angeles.  And it picked up a nice tangent storyline from Doctor Strange.
