Thanks for the tips! I started watching Severance a couple months ago but wasn’t feeling it so much to proceed past ep1. Maybe I’ll come back at some point. Didn’t know about Servant! I’m a bit skeptical of most M. Knight S joints but the trailer looks pretty good! 
I just started The Staircase last night. I remember really liking the documentary it was based on. Maybe we’ll start Servant after, if my wife permits it

My girlfriend recently got disney plus so I'm going through S1-14 of the simpsons. 21 episodes in so far! It's the only animated show that I find funny let alone entertaining. Anything past S14 is mehhhh though and the extremely recent seasons are awful.

It's been on so long I forget when I stopped watching. Season 14 or so sounds about right. 10, 11, and 12 have some strong episodes but it started to shift then. Seasons 3-9 are gold. 1 and 2 are often given more lukewarm assessments but I really like those seasons and watching some of them with my kids. 

As in Season 1/2 of The Sopranos when I found the constant moaning and complaining of Tony’s mother a high to very high annoyance, I’m now nearing the end of Season 5 and finding his wife/ex wife registering on the high to very high annoyance scale. The high shrill stressed voice and squeaky OT accent is really getting on my fucking nerves, quite sure it was never like that. I guess she misses Tony’s tallywacker lol. Apart from that? Everything is fine. Not as good as Breaking Bad though…..

Love on the Spectrum, new season

Started the new Obi Wan Kenobi show tonight. 
 

I thought it was pretty solid so far. This show is not for prequel haters obviously, but it's good they are trying to develop shows in 3 separate time periods to appeal to a wider fanbase. 

had good fun with the moon knight, some turn offs here and there but in general I had a good time... btw, some episodes were directed by Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead...

I'm into the 3rd season of hajime no ippo.  The first season was great.  I liked the 2nd season even more.  And now early into the 3rd season, I think this might be the hardest I've laughed so far, which leads me to believe I'm in for a great finish to this show:

Night Sky - JK Simmons and Sissy Spacek lead the way… it’s got a hinge but the sci fi element doesn’t even feel like the main thing during points

edit: Speaking of JK Simmons — Counterpart is an insanely good show. Scientists accidentally open a door between two universes in 1980s Cold War Berlin and everyone who existed when it happened has a counterpart (haha!) on the other side

I almost reached critical burnout point with The Soprano's so decided to have a vacation in the Ozarks, just for a rest.

I became a very big fan of Ozark but its been a while since I watched it and was mightliy looking forward to Season 4, but I had a dilemma. Should I go back and rewatch the first 3 seasons? Never a fan of rewatching films, there's only a dozen or so that have any rewatch value for me (Alien/s, The Fog, The Wicker Man, Apocalypse Now, 2001 Space Odyssey etc) it was highly unlikely I could rewatch 30 plus episodes of a tv show! Yet here I am, and I think enjoying just as much the first time. Quite surprised actually. Its' a very good show. I think the setting of the lakes and the forests and having one foot in backwoods country but also one foot in modern day life is really appealing to me.

this is exactly the kind of series i wish i watched as a kid, but there it was unavailable for non-english speakers. whilst the storyline is semi soap opera-ish, the animation is beyond breathtaking to look at. the artwork looks similar to the 40s DC comics style but it also turns into beautiful b&w lichtenstein inspired animated silhouettes during flash back scenes or when the narrator gives some supplementary information. 

also, how amazing would it have been to have these?

I'm sure everyone knows by now but Stranger Things is back. It's quite freaky this season

All of ozark is great. Definitely worth watching the whole thing… even though the final episode is a bit WTF.

Tbh I’m really enjoying running through it all again. I’m very surprised. I tried it with SOA and that failed miserably. Halfway through season 2 I was bored out of my brain. Goes to show what a fantastic watch Ozark is if I can do it twice in a relatively short space of time.

Nostalgia bomb, has a very Narnia vibe to it. Val Kilmer will also be in it apparently:

Russian Doll s01 - 

Russian Doll s02 - 

Kenobi is decent, script writing is pretty poor but that's standard for Star Wars but it was worth checking out.

I don't think I'm ever going to get round to watching the new season of Stranger Things. How am I supposed to invest that many hours in such a mediocre series. I mean the first season hit a sweet spot and had perfect timing when it was released, but that first run was pleeeeenty. There's not enough depth to this nostalgia shit to keep people watching indefinitely, all surface vibes man. 13 hour season? gtfo

Yeah the episode lengths in this season are ridiculous. It's a bunch of movies, basically. Still, I've started it and will probably keep going. My g/f is definitely discouraged by the runtimes though. She may drop out.

Louis Theroux: Forbidden America episode 2

I didn't think I'd be able to sit through another in this series after the initial episode, but this one was pretty enjoyable with an almost Weird Weekends feel to it featuring a more relaxed Louis, in his element dealing with the underground rap scene in Florida. 

Stranger Things is pure bullshit

Kids on the Slope:  I remember watching the first 2 episodes of this show years ago and it disappeared before I could finish it.  Found the entire show on youtube and binged it.  Some great musical animations and story.

synopsis:

Kaoru Nishimi is an intelligent, introverted first-year high school student from a wealthy family who moves to different cities frequently as a result of his father's career; consequently, he has never made lasting friendships. In the summer of 1966, he relocates from Yokosuka, Kanagawa to Sasebo, Nagasaki to live with his extended family. On his first day of school he encounters Sentarō Kawabuchi, a delinquent student feared by his classmates. Sentarō's love of jazz music inspires Kaoru to study the genre, and the two boys begin to develop a close friendship through jazz sessions at a record shop owned by the family of Ritsuko Mukae, a classmate. The slice of life series follows Kaoru, Sentarō, and Ritsuko over the course of their three years of high school, and the relationships that develop among and between them.
