We're on Silo at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I was so giddy when I saw they were making this. The books were soooo good, and there’s even some decent fanfic. Not unhappy with the changes they made yet, it’s been pretty good so far.

Without spoiling, does it live up to the first season?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It broadens the world well

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I enjoyed it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think so and they don't fuck around with filler episodes to draw out the plot. It's been great.

Good Omens Season 2. Gonna make it quick: Sadly it wasn’t as near as good as the first one. Bummer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I thought it was really awful - it didn't need to be made, and especially not during covid.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I've just watched the first episode of Silo. I read the books it's based on a couple of years ago and thought the premise was interesting but the plotting and prose were unsophisticated. They read like young adult novels. So I'm hoping Silo will take what was interesting about the premise and improve upon the rest.

I've also started the first season of Westworld, and so far I'm into it.

I had the same feeling with the books, the series got me hooked tho!

I tried Silo for a few episodes and was like, hm this basically a bad version of Fallout without the cheeky self awareness

Great show!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stranger Things, because I find comfort in watching the same things over and over again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which season are you watching currently?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just finished the last season. I'm sure I'll start it again before too long.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably before the next season is released! Lol

Last season was great, and loved the extra long episodes leading to the end.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah, I was surprised by how good season 4 was. My favorite after season 1, easily.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I’m slowly making it through Dekalog. It’s an older polish mini-series about ethical dilemmas by a famous director that somehow made it to a very high spot in IMDb ranking. Turns out it’s a catholic propaganda which I could expect but somehow didn’t. Watching it for the 80s gloomy vibes now but it’s like I’m beaten with a club that has „go to church or your kid dies” written on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Just started watching Imposters. Only seen one episode and a few minutes of the second, but like the look of it so for.

My comfort watch has been Boston Legal. Haven't seen it for a few years. I love it, but jesus the main characters are terrible people.

Last night was also the season finale of Jet Lag on Nebula. (Episodes delayed one week on YouTube.) Easily their best season yet! [email protected]

Finished "The Bear" this week. Great stuff, very intense um, cooking drama? Don't let that influence you, watch it. First episode will tell you if you want to watch the rest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Started watching Matlock (the new one). It’s OK, but they’re really dumbing down the plot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh I was rather enjoying that before Christmas. Is it back on already, or have you just been watching the first half of the season? Not super complex, but nice enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don’t know why you got downvoted. I think the show it ok, just expected something a little more clever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure I've got a troll stalking me. Nothing to get worried about.

[–] veeesix 3 points 1 month ago

Mystery Science Theater 3000. Lots of Gamera content this season!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I’m about to finish season 2 of “To The Lake”, or “Epidemiya” as it’s called in its native Russian. Pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Shrinking. For whatever reason I forgot about the whole cast other than Ford/Segel by the time S2 came around, but I remembered how much I enjoyed S1 as soon as I threw it on. Finished the season within a couple of days. A+

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I've been continuing through Two Weeks to Live and I started The Peripheral. Enjoying them both.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Got a lot on the go at the moment.

Half way through season 6 of Mad Men

5 episodes into the new season of Traitors

3 episodes into the second season of Slow Horses

Most of the way through the second season of Silo

Finished No Good Deed

Watched the first episode of The Curse but its a bit eh...

And finally just started some early 00s spy parody show where an agent dies but as the last thing he does he transfers a massive database of classified info into an old college friends mind somehow. The name escapes me though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think you're talking about "Chuck"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is! Only seen a few episodes so far and it is OK I guess.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I watched it when I was younger and tried a rewatch recently. I think you're review is spot on. "Its OK I guess"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It is alright as a semi background show when you dont really want to concentrate on keeping up with what is going on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I finished the first session of Heels. I really enjoyed it. I didn't expect much out of, but was pleasantly surprised.

Mike O'Malley crushes in the role of the rival promoter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

anime called link click as it looks like crunchy roll has some unlocked season1's going again. maybe we will see as they are inconsistant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Finished up Hysteria!, it was a hoot. I especially liked Bruce Campbell as the calm and rational center of the series. Really stepped out of his comfort zone for this one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Landman, Afro Samurai, Chopped, The Tick, Creature Commandos, and Kitchen Nightmares. Only a couple episodes into Landman, but I'm diggin it so far! Creature Commandos is shockingly good as well.

Dragon Ball Daima, it's been mostly good. It's Dragon Ball so I need to watch it lol.

I would've also watched Dexter Original Sin this week, but they skipped this week!
