‘Moonbase 8’ First Look: A24 Comedy Turns Fred Armisen, Tim Heidecker, and John C. Reilly Into Bumbling Astronauts

That is interesting. Avenue 5 is a similar concept but I instead of bumbling astronauts, it’s about the bumbling crew of a future space cruise. Ave 5 definitely scratches my itch for the classic Iannucci / Alan Partridge style of comedy. 

Servant has to be the most frustrating TV show I've seen in a while. A million questions and zero answers. M Night is a fucking sadist. Still pretty enjoyable.

The Disney version of High Fidelity is kind of a mixed bag so far.  Why can't they do an adaptation set in uh, London??  Do I really need to see more jaded Millennial New York hipsters complaining about how bad they have it?  I was interested to see if there was gonna be much musical discussion of digital vs. physical, streaming, etc, something!   Zoe Kravitz comes off kind of whiny, making her a chain smoker is just lame in 2020, and being a 30 year old constantly referencing 50-80 year old music I can't see relates much to music fans of the target demographic.  Reference the 80s or 90s, 2000s, whatever.  There's also the "Friends" cliche, she owns a failing business AND holds down a huge apartment in Brooklyn.  The Barry / Cherise character is a bright spot, providing the comic relief (Da'Vine Joy Randolph from Dolemite is My Name).

Home movies - so cozy 10/10

Metalocalypse - hilarious 10/10

Home movies cycles through as the comfort/fall asleep series of choice often in our household... classic...

Right. Because we all enjoyed High Fidelity for the riveting plot and not for the specific subculture it portrayed - you know, the one that was very, very specific to the late 1980s / mid 1990s when youngish men sincerely thought someone's taste in music equalled their moral standing.

Recently introduced my friends to Trailer Park Boys and various Louis Theroux documentaries, we watch 'em every night now.

Bojack last season, twas pretty fun as always until the last episodes, i cried a little bit... Not just because of the ending but also because of nostalgia... Best animated show on tv in the last few years... 

Feel like i'm running through everything.  Trying "The Strain" out right now.  Vampire Horror by Guillermo del Toro? Worth a try.

It sounded good on paper, but I had to drop it after the first season. Don't remember much about it.

I have watched a couple of episodes of Mythic Quest on Apple TV+, drawn in by the lure of the wonderful Rob McElhenney. Can anyone tell me if gets funny at any point because so far it sucks shit.

^ i watched it all. it does improve slightly but even then it's nothing great. it's perfectly acceptable television, got a few chuckles out of it and a couple of episodes were slightly engaging, i just watched it while washing dishes and the like.

I stopped after the second episode.  Couldn’t really keep me interested.  

Watching the latest season of The Expanse... Pretty cool except for Chrisjen Avasarala Secretary-General of the United Nations and her cringe worthy cursing...

This is a Chrisjen Minecraft server. No cursing allowed.

I was surprised to find out my youngest sister (13) watches it. Also a cousin who is 14 says it is his favorite show. Uses a picture of Mr. Peanutbutter as an avatar on netflix. What's odd isn't their age but that they are very conservative. Though admittedly maybe they are too young to understand that Bojack has a good amount of liberal politics in it and how a lot of it contradicts conservative belief without explicitly pointing it out.

Battlestar Galactica season 2,really enjoying this after sleeping on it for so long,its funny cuz its exactly what we would do as a race under threat of extintion from an outside entity,spend more time arguing over who,s in charge,than dealing with the threat,some  of the best plot twists and sudden tragic events i,ve seen on tv in a while

Pegasus arc is peak BSG (and I say this as someone who loved all 4 seasons). Season 2 is fantastic, although even I skip “Black Market” on rewatches. 

Rewatched The Expanse
Love that show.
SyFy Seasons 1 2 3 were great. Highly recommended.
Amazon Season 4 was a complete let-down for me though. Terrible writing. Character development was all over the place. Don't watch it.

Watching Seinfeld
Really good.
I always avoided watching it for some reason 'cause I though it was outdated, but I was wrong, it's a great show.

Watched My Ordinary Life (Nichijou) Anime Comedy Series.
Loved it. Hilarious. I like this type of comedy.
There are many other Anime Comedy Series similar to this, but imo this one is best.
