What TV series are you watching at moment?

new Black Mirror series was lame. only decent episode was Black Museum. the startrek one was kinda okay i guess.

Hang the DJ was the best one, had the best writing. Arkangel was good too. Star Trek one was pretty shit, as was the robodoggie armageddon (though they were cool looking yokes at least). The others were ok.

Just watched The End Of the Fxxxing World. Wasn't expecting much but it was actually really good, like a cross between Badlands and the movie adaptation of Ghost World, but not really.

i started watching it, thought it's shit, and found something better in the same vein instead - misfits. it's about a bunch of british juvie criminals/chavs getting hit by some weird lightning and gaining all kinds of special abilities. it's very raunchy, morally ambiguous, often surprisingly creepy, unhinged and all over the place writing wise. it's all self-contained around the grey and depressing community center the chavs have to do their hours at. their and others' superpowers are interestingly treated as some kind of "oh, by the way" thing while regular and depressing british life goes on. there's a good chemistry between the main characters that makes it all work. don't know why i'm watching tv shows for teens.

maybe next you could watch skins, plotwise the most nonsensical depiction of bristolian 6th form college life you could ever hope to see. its kind of like nothing but crescendos, storylines build to breaking point, and then as it moves to the next central character, anything that happened to the character from the last episode is completely forgotten about, deaths, OD's, cheating, you name it. brilliant stuff. 

Finally finished The Punisher, can't see anything else in the MCU ever approaching the violence in this one, not even Daredevil. Bernthal was really great portraying PTSD.

skins is either a brilliant piece of subtle parody of your average British teenager who watches it and thinks "wow this is so much like my life!!!!", or (as is probably more likely) just fantasy porn for middle class turds

I always liked Stewart Lee's take on it

man this was diminishing returns for me. i barely laughed at all.

This doesn’t count as a series but I watched Dave Chapelle’s two newest stand up specials on Netflix and loved the shit out of them. Funny and insightful.

anyone watching pkd's electric dreams? saw a positive review on slashdot,

Engage!

Star Trek TNG S01E01

PICARD: It's hardly simple, Data, to negotiate a friendly agreement for Starfleet to use the base while at the same time snoop around finding how and why the life form there built it. 
DATA: Inquiry. The word snoop? 
PICARD: Data, how can you be programmed as a virtual encyclopedia of human information without knowing a simple word like snoop? 
DATA: Possibility, a kind of human behaviour I was not designed to emulate. 
PICARD: It means to spy, to sneak. 
DATA: Ah! To seek covertly, to go stealthily, to slink, slither 
PICARD: Exactly, yes. 
DATA: Glide, creep, skulk, pussyfoot, gumshoe.

löl,

Was pretty good. There were some brilliant scenes, coupled by a few questionable plotlines and "C'mon" moments. But I'm a sucker for westerns, and this show delivered enough for me. Jeff Daniels was strong.

Funny yes. What do you think of the trans phobia accusations?

What a cast on the Unabomber series. Crazy.

Brit actors were not good. The lad got potential though. I thought it was a bit shit and slow...tring so hard to be cormac mccarthy and failing. When's the border trilogy or blood meridian getting a series? Come on.

currently bingin twin peaks 3,black mirror 4,and northern exposure(my go to winter viewing of choice every year)

i keep on consistently forgetting my posts will vanish unless i copy paste them and add them back in, and its extremely rare i care enough about commenting that i can be bothered writing something out twice. 

amazing first episode. season 1 acs will be hard to beat but they've hit the ground running
