 I'm dragging my wife through fleabag.  Only like 2 or 3 in. If it doesn't get much better, I'll finish it myself. I'm hoping now that we finished the new season of The Crown, she'll warm up to it with the MiL in it. 

I can't remember if it's a "getting better" kind of show...I think it kind of stays what it is- either you like it or not.

 

[TripItUp]

I love, love, Fleabag, but fully admit it's not for everyone. If you do watch it, start from the beginning.

I'm a fan as well...didn't think I'd like it as much as I do.

 

[El Floppo]

@shuke. Atypical is very good too.

 

[pantherclub]

That's weird to me because the show is constantly re-inventing itself.

Not really, for example the chidi cannot make a decision is just too much 

 

[Ranethe]

My wife couldn't get past the 1st ep.

I love the show, but had to watch solo.

My wife was immediately disinterested (fleabag). It didn’t grab me either though I may revisit yet.

@shuke. Atypical is very good too.

We have watched a few episodes of S1. It's good but never great. It feels like a very good conventional network comedy to me. 

 

[saintfool]

Watched "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" tonight. Liked it well enough but it doesn't rank very high in the QT ranking. It's full of ideas but doesn't quite come together. Brad Pitt maintains that easy charm he's cornered the market on for the last 30 years. QT clearly has a great affection for the story's place and time but it's a lesser work imo. 

 

[Capella]

Just finished Watchmen.  Awesome show. 

I need something new now.  Here's a list of things that I haven't seen that drew my attention, but not feeling strongly about any particular one of them.

Fleabag
The Confession Killer
When They See Us
Living With Yourself
Years and Years
The Society
Black Summer
The Fall
Kingdom
Homecoming
Murder Mountain
Ken Burns' Vietnam
Broadchurch
Halt and Catch Fire
Safe
Flint Town
Mad Dogs
Carnivale
 

Fleabag ASAP 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Haven't found it streaming anywhere, but if someone knows where one can see it, let me know.  Love me some News Radio.

The Roku-branded channel on Roku players has the first 2 seasons.  The Roku Channel content is free but has ads.

Crackle has some of the later episodes.  

 

[steelerfan1]

Just finished You  season 1

it’s a Berlanti show...it’s a lot of fun...kind of a Dexter vibe to it, but different...it explores love and obsession...some of it is guilty pleasure cheese, but some of it is really good and intense.  Joe Goldberg is a great twisted character.

i was entertained

Really enjoying this series so far.

 

[El Floppo]

I think that's fair. Still very good.

 

[El Floppo]

Started the Apple show, For All Mankind- alternative reality space race. So far, completely enjoyable- liking it quite a bit.

This has been consistently good about 4-5 in. Interesting combo of fact/history and sci-fi. Learned about an actual amazing woman astronaut, Molly Cobb, who never actually got to space fly, but in reality did one amazing flying thing after another here on earth. Interesting character and arc in the show.

This isn't profound or upper elite tv, but its doing well with all aspects of the show. Genuinely recommend this so far- really enjoying it.

We wrapped it up last night. 

After moving along briskly, with different storylines through the beginning, it gets a little hung up on a recurring plotline over the last few episodes. That plot has some melodrama that felt extraneous, but that's my only gripe.

If you're interested in nasa or even US history from the 60s on, I'd recommend. If metoo stuff makes you uncomfortable, you should get over yourself, but it's in here too. This is a really good show, and seems like will have a S2- which is great, because as alt/reality, theres no limits for them. 

 

[Payne]

About halfway through The Witcher and still unsure. Superman has that Christian Bale Batman voice thing at times. Timing is all over the place and hard to follow. Acting isn't the best, though I think the lady who plays Yennefer stands out. I think she has a great future in acting....honestly. She just "converted" and looks outstanding too. 

Going to get through it but don't find it as a must watch recommendation as of now.  

 

[Ilov80s]

British cop show, right?

Sounds original.

Yes, it's really good because the 2 leads are David Tennant and Olivia Colman. Top notch actors and their relationship carries the movie more than any of the mystery. It's basically about a murder in a small British seatown, the investigation and most importantly how the murder impacts everyone in the town.

I think I've seen that one a few times.

No doubt the last four episodes are far better then the first four. Maybe as you noted it's because of the actress who plays Yennefer. She seems to steal every scene she is in.

Fleabag and Broadchurch, definitely.

One that's not on your list (or anyone's) is Funland. Very twisted tale set in Blackpool.

Might be Fun to know where it's streaming, no?

 

[shuke]

Have you seen After Life or Catastrophe?

Neither

 

[shuke]

Halt is the only one that jumps out

40 episodes, seems like a big investment. 

 

[Ranethe]

40 episodes, seems like a big investment. 

I loved Halt and Catch Fire. We watched all the seasons in about 3 weeks. I wouldn’t guarantee it’s for everyone but I thought it was really good. 

 

[Capella]

Fleabag is 16 episodes, half hour each, tells a full story and it can be in the running for best tv series in the last 5-10 years. If you don’t watch it you’re screwing yourself. 

 

[jamny]

Neither

After Life on Netflix. Season 2 starts soon. Only 6 episodes.

Catastrophe on Amazon has ended. 4 seasons of 6 episodes.

Both great shows.

 

[Payne]

No doubt the last four episodes are far better then the first four. Maybe as you noted it's because of the actress who plays Yennefer. She seems to steal every scene she is in.

I agree in that the show seems to get better the further I go.

Sounds like typical shuke Sunday night

Wow, you're going all in here, huh?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I’d vote for Carnivale, although I haven’t seen too many of those others.  It was really interesting but canceled after 2 seasons I think so you never really get any closure 

 

[Juxtatarot]

Wow, you're going all in here, huh?

I’m not as high on it as some but it’s good.  You’ll probably be glad you picked it.

Murder Mountain
Ken Burns' Vietnam

 

Murder Mountain is a good story. worth a watch.

Vietnam is amazing. beautifully told. narrators voices bring an appropriate gravitas. the story of Mogie Crocker makes me cry every time i rewatch the series. if you're at all interested in this era of American history, this is a must watch.

hearing these vets speaking frankly about their experience, without holding back... their raw emotion.. it's not something you can experience often. each of the men & women then interview are so open. it's heartbreaking. just utterly heartbreaking. but i think important to see.

 

[fatness]

Might be Fun to know where it's streaming, no?

Prime video.

 

[saintfool]

Bags of fleas

It's BBC, so it's pronounced "bag o' fleas", guv'nor!

 

[joffer]

I liked Catastrophe better than Fleabag, but both very good.

 

[El Floppo]

Bag a fleas, innit.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I might give Fleabag a shot, that or go back to The Expanse

wife also wants to watch Dracula so might knock that out first

 

[miapug]

Just watched Don't F with Cats.  Very disturbing.  One question that I might have missed if it was answered.  Why was there three hands in the cat video (was someone else there?)

 

[jdoggydogg]

Digging this so far, 3 episodes in.  Solid.

Just finished season 1

 

[Bull Dozier]

Just finished Watchmen.  Awesome show. 

I need something new now.  Here's a list of things that I haven't seen that drew my attention, but not feeling strongly about any particular one of them.

When They See Us
Broadchurch
The Confession Killer
Ken Burns' Vietnam

I've seen these four, and this is my list in order of preference.  Liked them all and would watch again (actually, still finishing the Confession Killer, but am enjoying it).  When They See Us was great, albeit a frustrating watch. Jharrel Jerome was awesome in it.

 

[gianmarco]

Just saw this trailer

Giri/Haji

Looks really, really good. 

 

[Statorama]

Just finished Watchmen.  Awesome show.

Broadchurch
Fleabag
Black Summer

Saw and recommend all of these, in this order.

If you haven't seen it, I'd also recommend Happy Valley on Netflix.  The seasons are a short commitment (six episodes), so each episode gets right to business with no "stretch it to 12 episodes" fluff. 

 

[Psychopav]

OMG.  He def said "@shuke."

Agreed.

But...spoiler alert, the closed captions disagree.

 

[mr. furley]

Just watched Don't F with Cats.  Very disturbing.  One question that I might have missed if it was answered.  Why was there three hands in the cat video (was someone else there?)

went looking for this answer as well.  there was a reddit thread on it.

apparently the police said that one of his neighbors was coaxed in to recording that video.. she had no idea what Magnotta was intending to do. she was cleared of any responsibility.

One of the most disturbing and sad stories I’ve ever seen. Riveting though. Not sure who was crazier. Him or the group tracking him. Definitely think they fed his lunacy.
