What TV series are you watching at moment?

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.

I gotta revisit S3 of True Detective, only watched it once when it aired and did not enjoy as much as the first 2, although the final shot of the S3 was quite nice and very memorable.

S1 of Mindhunter is so good! I really hope that David Fincher returns for a 3rd season. The dude who plays Ed Kemper in S1 is incredible. I guess it is pretty dry the acting but I felt like it meshed well with the other elements of the season film-making wise.

Just finished watching season 2 of Succession and, man, I really can't find a single bad thing to say about it.  My only minor gripe is that Roman's transition from a total fuck-up to someone useful when he had to be was a little too convenient.

But there's not one dull second in this show.  I just marvel at the dialogue in every episode; nothing is wasted, everything punches at me.  There's a perfect balance of laughs and seriousness.  Most of the cast is just spot on in their acting...

IDK, maybe I'm overreacting?

Only Murders in the Building S3 finished out great. i'm a bit of a sucker for murder mysteries that aren't too doom and gloom so this show is basically made for me. fun and silly and a touch dark just enough. having Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep in did some good ramping up of the production. Streep is absolutely stellar of course, but i was surprised at Rudd actually doing something a bit out of his character at moments. was all good. setup for S4 too so will be looking forward to that.

Remastered on HULU/Disney, looks really cleaned up. Before Bruce Willis was a mumbling squinty action star, he was pretty funny. 

Back on Netflix

An obvious watch did Encounters episode 1. Decent but a little long and slow in places.

Started Season 1 of Love Death + Robots (I started on Season 3 for some reason) Sonnie's Edge, Beyond The Aquila Ridge and Secret War are so far outstanding. Highly recommended.

Looks like kind of a Miyazaki/Moebius mashup

Manga-nifique! How France became obsessed with Japanese anime

Watching that Spanish bloke who made Pans Labyrinth, horror thing on Netflix. It's okay. The endings aren't as good as you imagine they will be. Usually ends up with some octopus beast going down a throat. Sorry for the spoiler. On episode 4...

Fucking trippy that was

What was?

That was

What?

Trippy!

Eh?!

Goon Style

Yes! Episode 4 with the face cream was brilliant. Madder than a sack of badgers

Kind of meh so far, surrounding Frasier with Millennials just makes him look older and out of place. His apartment really looks like an IKEA display room.

House of usher is good

I'm on like the 5th episode.  To me it's been OK, somewhat mediocre.  It's keeping my attention enough but not enthralling me.  At this point i'd put it below Hill House and Midnight Mass.

Justified (original series). Three episodes in, and I´m totally clueless how this has a 8.6 IMDB-rating. The plots in the episodes are almost laughable, and especially the acting in S1E3 reminds me about the old soap operas. Surely this has to get better eventually?  

New Rick & Morty season starts with a pretty mediocre first episode. I guess they might lost it when they started hiring external writers to do their job

it's been awhile since I watched it, but I do remember it didn't find its footing until later in season 1. season 2 introduces some new bad guy characters that are really good. it does improve as it goes on (and gets much darker), so maybe grind through the first few more lighthearted/pulpy s1 eps. for me it's one of those shows I only want to watch once. don't have much of a desire to go back and re-watch the whole thing.

Twisted metal. low production value &  generally cringe comedy but it's kinda ok.

Gave up on AHS after episode 3, utter garbage. They finished 4 of these before the strikes, last year they were better than the main series.

They've been getting progressively worse since the start, but this one reached 'family guy' levels of low effort.
