What TV series are you watching at moment?

Gate, Gangsta, Gintama, Overlord, World Trigger, Ushio to tora, gakkou gurashi! and arslan senki and Himouto! Umaru-chan, also still watching monster musume and jitsu wa watashi wa but will drop both eventually. So far this season the recommends are Gangsta (yay, hard boiled violence, it's been a while) and gate (japan claims magical territory through dimensional gate, written in a serious tone and not as an adjunct to harem hijinx, so i have hopes for this one) as first rank anime, with ushio to tora (from an early 90's manga which has already had an anime made about it, solid story telling easy to watch stock standard fare) next then overlord (this got a lot more interesting in the third episode, it's a dude stuck in an rpg anime, this is what the third try at this in recent years still though, the writing and setting hooked my cynical countenance in a little more than i had though that they would) and gakkou gurashi! (watch the first ep and you may think that you are in for a nice slice of life high school drama but there be twist ahoy) and Himouto! Umaru-chan (basic sort of girls comedy thing, we'll see where it goes) bringing up the rear, there really is nothing else to recommend that sits above background noise. arslan senki, world trigger and gintama are ongoing series, the former probably half way through it's run, i haven't checked. Defo check the latest series of gintama if you're intrested, probably better to have watched the earlier series' to get the character dynamics, but whatever i love that show so much.

Watching BoJack Horseman. Holy shit it's good.

Just finished season 2 last night. I thought it was just gonna be a silly cartoon but both seasons spiral into bleakness in the latter episodes, while somehow still managing to be a silly cartoon the whole time too.

Serious lols:

Serious wtfs:

Great show 10/10 will rewatch before season 3 comes out.

Watched two episodes of better call saul. That desert scene withTuco was so bad. Breaking bad never had the greatest script writing but it was fun to watch at least. Please tell me it gets better.

It gets better

it absolutely does, i was really shocked at how ham fisted all the mexican shit was in the first two episodes. The musical montage with the skater twins left me absolutely horrified, but yes the show does improve a lot its worth giving a chance

Watching Mr robot now because of a recommendation. Don't regret it one bit.

Didn't know you were into the stuff let's talk mooooreeee...

i forgot to mention that i'm watching rokka no yuusha, which has been going downhill since a very strong first ep. i'm hoping that it'll pick up, but the writing seems to be caving in to a sink hole. It's a fantasy environment where a demonic force attacks this continent every few hundred years or so from the peninsular that it has been sealed within, the clothing (not of the main chars) and environment appear to be modelled loosely on that of meso america which is a bit of a different choice i spose, i mean not spose but actually is a different choice.

I also grabbed samurai champloo cause i never finished that series and someone in chatmm reminded me of it, so will slowly push my way through that, i don't know why but for some reason it's feeling like a chore. perhaps because the writing on the second episode was a bit far into weak country for my liking, basic emotional hooks, blar blar. Overall it's a bit naive. nevertheless characters are drawn in a splendid way that i can't get enough of, i love that style with the bold outlines on things in close up and knowing when to drop the detail, yumoe.

Watching 'Suits'.

Lol.

Watched Fargo season 1, fantastic stuff.

tried watching this but it's facepalmingly terrible. ben kingsley seems to be making anything nowadays. anyway, it's more like the story of moses than tutankhamun, and the dialogue is painfully contrived.

humans really took a nosedive into bumhole in the last 2eps..

Curious, did you like Cowboy Bebop?

Think Samurai Champloo is a bit more of a long, slow burn - but it does start to pick up a bit after a few episodes (if memory serves)

Oh, right. Just finished Hemlock Grove S2 (not bad for bro-mance supernatural fluff). Starting American Horror Story S3 - great so far.

Also, just finished a Twin Peaks re-watch in advance of S3. Good news? Not as awesome as I remembered it, which I actually think means I won't have ridiculous expectatinos for S3. Better news, the best episodes of TP were truly the ones where Lynch was directing, which means I've got a serious hard-on for what he'll do with 18 episodes next year.

Anyone watch Ballers? Is it funny? I like Dwayne Johnson

i tried to watch it. it's not good. but you knew that (if you didn't, just imagine what a show called ballers would be like.... yup. that's it. it's crap)

Twin Peaks overall lives much more comfortably in my distant memories. Everytime i've tried to rewatch it I get that X-files season 1 vibe, where I know if i keep powering through for long enough it It'll improve but its hard. S1 of Twin Peaks has so many leather jacket troubled teen style soap opera moments that aren't weird enough to sustain a lot of it
