What TV series are you watching at moment?

You can snooze through this if you like. Just reporting in for duty.

Finished Andor. Was very good. Sometimes I couldn't hear what the fuck was going on because of mumbly worldwide accents. Was also pissed that Forest Whittaker did a disappearing act because the 10 minutes he was on screen was electrifying. Serkis was amazing too. Can't believe I was gonna bin it on episode 3, would of been a big mistake.

The Bear was in the bin, then out the bin and is now firmly back in the bin. Watched episode1 of Series 2 and I just fucking hated it even more. Don't give a shit about any of the characters, don't give a shit about the story line, don't give a shit about chefs, don't really give a shit about restaurants 

Ahsoka gets more boring as the episodes drag on. She also comes across pretty arrogant even though its not intended and I have the impression she barley moves in most scenes. She just sits there and makes her snobby remarks 

rewatched LOKI in preparation of season 2 starting this Friday and its as great as I remember it. the finale has a kind of dumb resolution in comparison to the great character development during the rest of the season. 

Ahsoka is really really bad, haven't watched the final episode, but Jesus, it's just heeeere's glup shitto, that guy from that other thing going "hello I'm glup shitto, take this", cheap cosplay costumes with awful contact lenses, endless swinging lightsabers matches and wooden acting.

Geez all these reviews of the latest Disney Star Wars cash printing machine crap makes me kind of glad I've never been at all interested in Star Wars.

Just watched the finale and it even gets worse.

The latest Star Wars spin-off, Ahsoka, is painfully glacial TV about a giant Oompa Loompa in a novelty hat. These shows need to be banished to a galaxy far away

Why do Jedi never use their super speed? They've only shown it in The Phantom Menace, but if you could instantly flank any opponent and strike them from behind with a laser sword, you would prevail the majority of the time.

Whoa pump the brakes there, sport; let's not bring LOGIC into this.

It's the Odyssey of our times bruh

Can't believe I'm saying this but Wheel of Time Season 2 was fcking great.

It was like a completely different show from Season 1.  Every single thing about it was better.

yes, the parallels are obvious, especially with the 637th instalment of the Odyssey titled "Odysseus and the Wookie X-Wing Boba Fett Lightsaber Death Fart", written by Homer Blockbusterus Moviedirectorii and released worldwide on classical poetry streaming services.

I'd pirate that.

Justified: City Primeval - Overall, this wasn't remarkable, Timothy Olyphant overestimated his ability to carry a show on his own, and some of it seemed rushed, especially the 2nd half of the season. But they did save the best for last:

  Reveal hidden contents

Raylin was raising Boyd's child after all, saving Boyd til the end was the best idea Olyphant had, this series was presented as having nothing to do with the original Justified, so keeping this quiet was an accomplishment. Now they can get on to season 2, when the strikes end.

Should I watch the original Justified-series first?

If it's available to you, and you have a spare 35 minutes - watch episode 1 of the Korean TV show 'Bargain'.

Don't watch any trailers, don't read up on it, just go in blind and see what you think !

LOKI s02e01 is already full on comedy mode. I love this so much. I hope they do not mess it up. 

this show is attempting to give us a backstory to the already weak backstory to the john wick series. very reminiscent of early 90s 'limited series' that attempt to give sequels to popular franchises' (like this) that end up going nowhere but somehow appealing to a fringe minority of people that can't get enough of a particular plot device.

ok

I don't watch anything atm, I don't think anything can top Twin Peaks specially season 3. 
After watching it all and listen to Twin Perfects 4 hour explanation video on Youtube it all connected! So fucking brilliant mind of Lynch

Thank you, I liked it. 

Feeling kind of burnt out with TV. Might start watching films again. 

Glad I fucked The Bear off, what a fucking massive pile of fucking vapid aggro shit that was.

Haven't done Squid Game yet. Maybe.

True Detective 3 - enjoyed this one, as it kept subverting expectations, and would be prescient now to some of the pedophile hysteria in the US. It was amazing that the entirety of law enforcement was that clueless as to the real crime committed, after 3 rounds of Ali becoming consumed by the mystery of the case.

Mind Hunter S1 - half way thru, great so far if dry in its acting.

FLCL Grunge - done with a cel shaded animation style, it still has a kinetic energy, and outrageous characters. 

Ahsoka was really for the hardcore fans, and the ratings reflected that, but it looked amazing with Doug Chiang's design work.

AHS Delicate - maybe the biggest trainwreck in the series, and that's saying something. They brought in Jennifer Lynch to direct this hot mess, it's bland, derivative of Dead Ringers, and Kim's lips are just ridiculous. And I like Emma Roberts, but this is meh.

Poker Face.
