What TV series are you watching at moment?

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.

Really it's just about one part of Catherine the Great's life. Her first marriage to Peter the III. Seeing as the point of the show is a comedy, I thought this was a brilliant choice. That part of her biography is ripe for comedic parody.

With that said, I would love some epic historical biopic/miniseries on Catherine the Great's whole life. And yeah that would need a very different tone.

Seems watchable:

Looks really silly tbh, but I'll still watch it.

Did you edit your post? Could have sworn you wrote shitty instead of silly... 

Anyway...

HBO’s “Watchmen” landed the most nominations of any series, securing 26 nods... 

It's officially a good tv

Started Fargo from the beginning.

Season 1 was watchable/enjoyable to a point but there were definite bouts of yelling at the tv for bad writing (ie: "why the fuck would they do that?" of "this makes zero fucking sense"), here and there. Billy Bob was great in it.

Just got into S2 and I'm expecting more of the same but I hear people say it's better than S1, so we'll stick with it.

Re-watching Justified. Timothy Olyphant is a cool motherfucker. On to season 5 already, thanks to lockdown.

Finally finished The Americans. Started Battlestar Galactica.

Started Shameless season 10, which I wasn't expecting to land right now. Soundtrack is as shitty as it's always been.

Ohhh, didn't realize she was out for good (?) after last season. Somehow didn't notice she wasn't in the first s10 episode.

Dark is good. interesting German show. I am starting to get a bit lost in the loopdy loops

that show is definitely in my top 10, no, top 5 shows ever. I've been waiting for the right time to do a re-watch. I only re-watched S1 right before S2 came out, haven't done the whole thing. for me it's a winter show. must be the NE setting and bleakness of a lot of the weather in it.

Dewey Crowe’s four kidneys are too funny. Underrated show. Always makes me long for a bourbon. 

I’m FUCKIN NINE episodes in on season two of Fargo. This show is nowhere near as good as people say. I thought S2 was supposed to be better than S1. Not the case. 
I plan to check out S3 but this season is dumb. It’s like some millennials read an article about what a 70s period piece is supposed to be like and made it based solely off of that article and without ever seeing any other 70s period films/shows. Also, TONS of bad cliches, hazy character development and bad writing. And nothing happens. Everything takes 3 episodes of bad dialogue and pointless/meandering split-screens to get to an event where something actually happens. How did it get 100% on Rotten Tomatoes??

Also... UFOs???

finally finished watching DARK... started as one of the most promising sci-fi tv shows of the decade and ended up as one of the major shitstorms of the century...

Fargo is better than Breaking Bad.

watching the first episode right now.

it's like an animated version of the orville- basically, people trying to do trek (something/anything) but not really getting there. in this case, the closest they get is the opening title sequence.

Fargo really does wipe the floor with Breaking Bad. Only season 4 and 5 of BB really can really compare with any season of Fargo. 

Breaking Bad was OK and at times terrible. 1st 2 seasons are really really bad. 

Fargo was very good.
