What TV series are you watching at moment?

Finished Dark s3 last night. Really great ending! Pretty much everything got tied up. Also, a few brutal scenes in this series. Great stuff. 

I've been thinking about going back and watching some early 2000s Asian horror films lately, so the timing of Ju-On: Origins on Netflix was optimal. Only three episodes deep, but it's sufficiently creepy if you're drawn to this sort of thing. Pacing is pretty tight so far, episodes are only 30 minutes long and pack in a lot of stuff. The ghost/spirit looks kind of silly (standard pale long haired woman) but screen time is minimal, and her toes are decent.  

End credit clip and song is excellent.

Sweet, was not aware of this. 

I am really liking that Perry Mason thing on HBO. Full of great character actors and everyone on point. And the visual style on this is very slick, like they updated a classic noir film to color. and the music is great too.

Watching it too aza - it's great. 

Started watching the Japanese/British crime drama Giri / Haji on Netflix this week. Pretty good! Recommended. First episode is mostly Japanese with subtitles for the set-up, but it seems to be mostly English going forward.

I've yet to watch most recent Fargo season

I really wish they hadn't stopped after 3 seasons! I really, really enjoyed that series. Just looked up on IMDB to confirm that there wasn't another one planned, and it actually does show S4 with titles for the first 2 episodes, a description for the 1st, and thumbnails for all episode placeholders. But no dates. Very confusing. Ah ok, Wiki coming through with better info:

"The upcoming fourth season is set in 1950 in Kansas City, Missouri, and features a cast led by Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman, Jessie Buckley, Ben Whishaw, and Timothy Olyphant. The season was scheduled to premiere on April 19, 2020, but it was delayed indefinitely after production was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic."

i'm on vol. 2 now. i have a serious crush on saki. btw: anyone know the original of sukeban deka? 

Anyone watching Brave New World?

Waiting for mobile service to download it like a pirate... Is it cool? 

It's not great, love the visuals and the locations and set design (in London, the savage stuff in the US was pretty terrible, thankfully didn't last very long). It's focused way too much on sex and made it into a silly love story too, should have been more focus on soma and the other social and political stuff, they also shouldn't have changed the story with the mother. I think I'm also getting a hint at a really terrible twist coming up, hope it doesn't go the way I think it might. 

Finished Kingdom (Netflix, Korean series). Two seasons. Looks gorgeous, with old timey Korean costumes and buildings and stuff. It’s also well written, but Korean so the outbursts can be a bit much. Zombies were awesome, much better than Hollywood zombies: fast, powerful and available in exceptionally large numbers. Recommended.

master of none - got to rewatch this cause back then i only watched season 1... apart from the soppy romantic episodes there's some good fun... some episodes from the 2nd season made me truly laugh out loud... at the same time couldn't help but feel that it's pretty naive somehow... also, i love tim and eric but eric is not a good actor for this, his lines were hilarious but he simple couldn't deliver... after some time i got used, but it was a bit cringy watching him portraying a normal dude...

the trip s04 - i dunno whats up with these two but i flol all the time, they're the perfect match cause they complement each other... coogan is a self centered narcissist while brydon is a laid back goofy dude... they're constantly trying to humiliate each other while travelling around countries eating out at restaurants...

Recently finished it. This guy was a real piece of work. Good show.

I was reluctant to start watching this show and now I feel like I was an idiot for not jumping in right away. Great show. Super original. Great performances. Smart writing. Watch it. New episodes on HBO every Monday, y’all. 
 

... and while waiting for new ones...

... Quite good. True crime hedz jump in.

watched Castle rock season 2, which was okayish, better than season1.

I also lasted 30 minutes into Cursed, oh netflix, why u suck so bad

Haha, I wanted to say the same; Frank Miller's involvement prompted me to give this a try, but it's cheesier than fucking gorgonzola. The intro was so cringey already, and then I didn't make it through the first scene. So bad. It actually made me respect FM a bit less, even though the collaboration probably didn't extend far beyond his contributing a couple of illustrations for the novel this is based on. Still, to lend your name to something like this ... yikes.

Really enjoying Perry Mason

Trying to finish Snowpiercer, got 3 episodes left.  Its kinda crap but theres enough going on that its not boring.

In the UK we have a discount clothing shop called Peacocks, sorta like Primark pre makeover. When you go in, your life expectancy drops by a few years due to the feeling of impending commercial doom.

How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast).

There are good shows on Netflix, and this is an example of one. Clever, contemporary, and doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes it genuinely funny. S02 picks up where S01 ended and is just as entertaining. Definitely worth a try.

Started The Great. It is very silly and superficial but there’s so much going on I’m driven to keep watching to see where this is going. Also, it looks gorgeous.

It’s a show about the life of Catherine the Great - if Catherine the Great had the personality of a pretentious American teenager. There’s tons of people of all sorts of color running around at the Russian court and because the makers *can* show lewdness they feel they *must* - lots of it. Still, it’s fun.

And I’m a sucker for costumes.

rew. The Larry Sanders Show..

Is this alright? 

It was better than the movie, but pretty meh. VFX were very good for the BBC, but I guess HBO helped with that.
