Bill burr is funny as fuck, but his nasal shouting starts to make me feel like I've got mild toothache after a while.

Any recent animated series worth watching? 

Archer s11 was really good, on par with earlier seasons.

I believe there's a second season of Tuca & Bertie to be aired on Adult Swim in 2021 too. Could be great, I loved the first season.

Watched season 1 of Mr Robot thought it was fucking excellent. Watched second season of Mr Robot thought it was okay but ridiculously hard work to wade through. Had a break and now going to start season 3. Hopefully it will be better than 2....

Also enjoyed How to With John Wilson as others have mentioned, but all caught up. Strong Nathan For You vibes, which makes sense Nathan is executive producer. Only thing I don't like about it is that I get a feeling that John is faking his awkwardness a bit. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But it's good content nonetheless. 

he's definitely faking the awkwardness a bit. he was on tim heideckers podcast a month or so ago and they talked about this. he's generally a pretty awkward person, but it's definitely more of a persona on the show.

i like the show but the voiceover awkwardness bothered me a bit for some reason.

Been on a vampire and zombie kick.  Watched all of the series Van Helsing- it was alright nothing to ring home about.

A season and a half into Fear The Walking Dead though and I love it.    Which is surprising because I really didn’t like the original walking dead.   This one just seems way better in all aspects, story, production, music.   

The Expanse: Been a huge fan of the show. This season's just all right so far.
WandaVision: I actually dig it quite a bit. Creative and mysterious.
The Boys: Finished the first season and really liked it. Second season kind of weak so far, but only a few episodes in.

Season 3 is great, some say that it brings some needed context to Season 2. Season 4 is fucking amazing, a total payoff for watchers of the series and somehow manages to still surprise - though I think that's secondary to the absolutely wonderful resolution of these characters, most of whom are finding ways to emerge from being broken by life in interesting and truly moving ways.

Cool. Appreciate your insight because Season 2 was like an endurance test. I was sitting through it thinking to myself 'you will not defeat me' 'I will finish you' ?

Actually quite liked Season 5 of the Expanse. I mean, I've liked them all but this felt like a big step up from 3 and 4. Dominique Tipper is great this season, especially from about the mid-point on. 

The dude who plays Marco Inaros is too pretty, I dunno.  I guess I can buy him as a raging narcissist leading a cult of personality, but he looks like he'd be too focused on his skincare routine to cause a solar system of trouble?

? I feel you... I even felt that a little bit during S3 but nowhere near as often as S2... and, from hindsight, S4 is such a homerun (IMHOP) that I wished I'd started earlier/had S3 more fresh in my mind going in to it (all the seasons actually). You are in for a treat!

Just chiming in to agree with the above sentiment re Mr. Robot.

It fell flat plenty of times in S2 & 3 but when it works it's a great show and one of the few truly creatively ambitious TV shows in recent times.

Definitely worth sticking with it for the whole ride. Enjoy ?

About half way thru Fargo S4, does it get any better? This seems to be the most bland season so far. I’ve heard True Detective S3 is like that.

WandaVision. Glad I waited to watch up until this point, as I can imagine watching the first 2-3 episodes week by week would be maddeningly slow. Feels more like a long movie than a TV show in a lot of ways, pretty much in love at this point.

No it’s a real stinker. You can stop watching it now and you won’t be missing out on anything. Waaay too many characters, no plot.

Not the best season, but there is one episode near the end which is one of the best they’ve ever made - think it’s episode 9. Rabbi and Loy’s youngest on the run.

Aside from that, I hate to say I was pretty let down by S4.
