well, horrible annoying soundtrack (and i'm not referring to the death metal song), awful animation, and honestly I didn't find it that funny/engaging...

hmm I'd say the soundtrack is pretty bland and forgettable, but it wasn't annoying to me or anything. Though I can't recall a single thing about it, but it didn't dampen my enjoyment of the show. I really liked the animation. Yeah it is basic, but captured the characters well. I know someone like every character in the show.

SPOILER! It's bad

conan without borders and ugly delicious are good shows

I binged all three seasons of Crashing in the course of the last two days. I guess it must be good.

finished watching Maniac yesterday. this was OK, but I couldn't help thinking "haven't I seen something like this before?" Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Inception, Total Recall all came to mind. I didn't care much for Emma Stone's character, liked Jonah Hill's character but thought his acting was a little weak, and thought Justin Theroux was hysterical. That VR sex part and scene in his apartment were absolutely hilarious.

the tick tock cut scenes were very reminiscent of Twin Peaks' third season.

yes it definitely was...

ugly delicious really has carried the torch for Bourdain's shows

Netflix's street food series are great as well

binge watched Dead To Me, recommend it  - it's like a lighter funnier version of Big Little Lies 

finished Stranger Things season 3

I cannot think of another season of another show with such a literal dull and sluggish start that gradually picks up momentum to the point where I was genuinely wanting more at the season finale - to my own surprise actually

really hope they wrap it up with season 4, as much as they salvaged it I feel like they are stretching it already and the series needs a conclusion for it's own sake legacy wise. making a concluding movie wouldn't be a bad idea

I didn't really care about any of it. Some bits were kind of cute, but the whole thing with the thing left me cold. Just make it a dramedy already.

really fun show. kinda reminds me of some early nickelodeon shows like 'so weird' or 'are you afraid of the dark' or 'goosebumps'. except this one is a little better, and for that 90s audience now that they're all grown up

too good to die young was totally my cup of tea, quite possibly the best thing i've seen all year, warts & all. but i can see how it might not be so for others.

Nothing! And now I remember how much spare time you have when you're not watching shit on TV. 

I've been re-watching the old ITV series from 1967/68, The Prisoner - someone's uploaded really high quality versions recorded off Granada television in France:

They've only put up 11 of 17 so far, so hopefully the remaining 6 (oh!) will get put up...

I always watched the KTEH episode order with the Scott Apel commentary.

Pretty Little Lies

hoo boy they just threw that last episode together - 6th episode was kind of wtf- feels like they rushed it

Just finished season 3 of The Expanse. Decent SF, with lots of nods to some of the classics of the genre. Not too much drama, just enough to be somewhat relevant to the plot (the Naomi/Holden deal). Apparently Season 4 is scheduled for December, which I think will be the downfall of the show - they should have wrapped it up at the end of Season 3 - too many options will lead to messy storylines.

They’ve been stretching since season 1 blew up and they had to scrap the anthology series aspect because Netflix wanted to keep the same cast. The fact that season 2 and 3 are watchable at all is miraculous.

Just give me a Robin & Steve spinoff show about constantly gaining and losing minimum wage jobs already. 

Any new / not so new good recommendations? Thirsty for some good show. I'm left with The Handmaid's Tale at the moment (jesus, what a snoozeville) and no other ongoing shows which is a bit of a bummer. "Dead to Me" with Linda Cardellini was alright but kinda quick. After that I couldn't get into anything new.

Just finished watching the Sopranos for the first time. Lives up to the hype.

Even better - it's on Amazon Prime if you have that in the same quality!
