Pluto TV has these 24/7 music video channels sorted by decade, so it’s literally like tuning into MTV in whatever decade you grew up in.

Checking out pluto tv because of your post. Now I’m watching blind date.

it's alright. not something i've actively recommended to people, but it is an easy watch.

i'm sure you'll be able to decide from one episode if it's your thing or not.

The new season of I Think You Should Leave was severely disappointing.

last season of Servant... this show is entertaining af... it's a shame they're trying to wrap it up this fast... still, great times...

This came out today

new Duggar family documentary 
on Prime

following everyones favorite messed up tlc family

I’m excited to watch it  

i think I'm gonna start watching Yellowjackets s02 tonite... wish me luck...

ended up starting to watch The Big Door Prize... quite meh... if they could only center it around a main character but no, it feels like an anthology that's gonna wrap up in the end or something...

Watching the new Spy In The Ocean. Its fucking brilliant

new season of Eric Andre starts tonite...

OG Twilight Zone on Paramount, so great that they did these classic episodes on film, never realized how many Disney voice actors appeared.

head-damagingly strange. almost to the point where i started to think the entire story was manufactured à la balloon boy saga even though this is capturing the friedman's level of fucked up

Started watching this tonight. Omfg. Crazy story. 

…edit…

I’m now 3 episodes in and I don’t ever want this show to end.

Binged through ep 6 of S2 of From, then watched 7 Sunday. I've come to the conclusion that as a show to binge this is great fun, but watching episodically is nightmarish. Especially this season where not a lot seems to he happening - I'd have been so frustrated watching week to week, but that (mostly) gets smoothed over if you can just watch the next episode. Adding a bunch of new characters doesn't help, bc now you have to divide your attention. 

Also, started watching Fubar and... its good? Dunno, maybe I'm just the right age/ market but thoroughly enjoying it so far. It knows exactly what it is, and executes on that thing well. Sometimes easy to forget that Arnie actually has some pretty great comedic timing.

it's because of how they've written every character. they all take very dramatic cues and phrasing of sentences- or they do what this lady does and act like someone is holding a gun up to their head

the only way i can see binging working for this show if it ends and/or is cancelled so we know how many episodes. otherwise, you'll always have to wait between seasons which is equally as terrible as waiting per week to find out if

Gallows Pole, hmmm.

See Shane Meadows name involved, think cue that up pronto, gifted 3 episodes of antlers, clipped coins, northerners being very northern & not much else.

You get his ensemble cast approach but in period attire, all chattering over each other. If he’d stretched it out by expanding the actual storytelling it might’ve gained momentum. Instead, the first episode is a bit shit tbh & it’s playing catch-up from then on.

Oh & the antlers dance too, interview on the track selection influences because the end titles pick is a blast:

very edgy show that highlights the low-lifes' of hollywood living the high life. terrible in every way you look at it

Yeah, I'm stuck! I flew threw the first season and now I'm semi invested in the characters (and the mysteries) but... if the endgame isn't there (they say they have it planned but who tf knows) and/or if it's cancelled and they haven't been able to wrap it up, that'll blow chunks.

I like when Kenny throws down his badge and it feels all "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you... you're cool .. fuck you and I'm out" about it

I've been watching (not binging) season 2 and I don't see myself returning for a third. I'm sure there be some fuck you cliffhanger at the end but it doesn't seem to be moving forward. 

It's reminding me off how the walking dead turned mostly into roommate drama arguing about who left the pickle jar open.

haha. FACTS. 

I really think the introduction of the additional people kneecaps the show. The first season seemed much better at creating interesting (sometimes annoying) characters that you end up caring about - but when you only see those people for 5 minutes over the span of like 4 episodes it makes you be like.. "and why do I care again?" And, like you and @Nebraskanote, when they are doing something, they seem to be way OTT, but with little context as to why. 

I'll still probably binge every season and mildly hate myself for it in the end

new season of Black Mirror starts June 15th...

s01 or s02?

Only seen s01. Not interested in 2 atm. Is it redeemable?

I’m watching Errol Morris’ “Wormwood” series. The documentary subject is fascinating but the re-enactments feel a bit bloated. As I’m watching the interview segments with the son, I can’t help but be distracted by the fact that he has practically no upper lip.

I watched all of s01 and don't member being pleased or disappointed but I have s02 ready to watch... but last night I started Mrs. Davis instead...
