What TV series are you watching at moment?

I ended up binging Chernobyl without even planning on it. 

I haven't watched The Walking Dead in years, and just found out it's still going. Jesus fucking christ why?

i'd love to rewatch MILLENNIUM some time; remember really liking it back in the 90s, more than x-files tbh. also lance henriksen is one of the greatest actors of our time.

I watch an episode every so often, it holds up very well. I love the pace of it. 
 

I just blew through 4 episodes of Ash vs Evil Dead. It’s pretty great. Nails the humour of the movies. 

Not much of a surprise, but most of the recent Frontline episodes have been great. The MBS episode, the Flint water crisis episode, and the Bork/Federalist Society episodes in particular. 

They recently licensed a doc made in the Philippines related to Duterte's drug war. As a massive Lav Diaz fan, the production style was kinda jarring but still an important subject and doc. 

Been on a Danny McBride binge recently, both Vice Principals and The Righteous Gemstones. The first is funnier but the second is like a proper TV show with a heart, also very funny. 

The OA was one of the best tv shows in recent history but as it was a slow burner and not immediately accessible most people didn’t make through the first dull episode so now the show is canceled after 2 seasons which is really a shame 

According to my Netflix history, I watched season 1 of The OA. I hardly remember it, but must have enjoyed it.

I watched the MBS episode. Martin Smith is the greatest. 

I was on season 2 of Mindhunters, episode 6. I realized the season had no reason to exist and bailed. 

dood, Primal by Genndy Tartakovsky is great. Only on episode 3 though so it may go downhill who knows. But up until now it's great, well worth watching. It's one of those shows where there isn't a single word uttered and still manages to convey what the characters are feeling brilliantly. Though I think it has to do with the fact it focuses on primal instincts/emotions, so at that level you don't really need language. It's about two characters (caveman and a t-rex) trying to survive in an unforgiving world.

I don't know. Should have ended at season 3 or 4 or so really. I saw a comment by one of the showrunners and he said he wants The Walking Dead to be one of those shows that are on for decades, shuffling out lead characters and such. It's obvious it still had a big audience.
 

Rewatching Curb your Enthusiasm.

I started The Righteous Gemstones last night. It's quite good.

I like that Enthusiast likes this

Really conflicted about the premiere of Watchmen.  Severe distaste for Lindelof and his hack bullshit.

I enjoyed it. Mostly because I'm now aware of the black wall Street massacre. But I thinks theres potential there. 

I love Alan's work, I really hope they do him justice this time tho.

Did you notice Moore had his name removed from the credits?  i mean he is an old fart, so yeah.  It's definitely gonna be a slow burn thru season 1, i bet we don't see Manhattan til the finale.

Yeah I respected that tho. Moore could be like "put my name on any shit  you cunts, I wanna make money". Instead he's like "I don't need anymore cash, I'm gonna be a wizard, never gonna leave Northampton and take loads of mushrooms"

I prefer the universe where Moore is the 2nd option.

Started watching Mad Men. It's a lot more subtle than I imagined it would be.

I love season 1, especially the scene where Pete brings a shotgun to work and aims it at everyone in the office. Classic Pete!

The set design and costumes are also done really well, some interesting and impressive attention to detail at moments.

Just saw the whole, of Living With Yourself and finally answered my own questions of "ah man Paul Rudd? what could be better than Paul Rudd?" the answer? TWO PAUL RUDDS!!!!!!

peaky blinders. what do the UKers here think about this show. kinda cartoony but super enjoyable. like that it doesn't take itself super seriously but my god the anachronistic music kills me some times. also, soooooooo many slow mo shots of guys walking with distorted guitars grindin'

i finished binging through all of peaky blinders last night. agreed that its kinda caricature-esque, but all said and done it was a really fucking fun watch. i'd totally watch an alfie solomons or abarama gold spin off!
