What TV shows are you currently watching?

Finally watched all of Vikings. The last two seasons were almost painfully bad, but we were determined to see it through.
If they’d not veered from history so much in those seasons, I think it would have been a lot better.

Finished True Detective season 1. Amazing overall. Lot's of great character, tremendous acting performances, great story, lots of meaty philosophy.

I'm still noodling on whether I liked the ending. I would have preferred for them to tie up a bit more about the villains, conspiracy, etc... areas where there was a ton of build-up and very little payoff. Still, the character arcs and philosophical narratives were brilliant and paid off well.

First season was good. Didn’t enjoy the second season as much. And no, just just because Matthew :LOL:

Third season I liked. Not as much as the first season, but still good. Never actually watched the second season because of all the bad press... now that I have an HBO subscription for a bit, I should probably remedy that.

Not as good as s1 or s3 but worth a watch.

[SubCog]

Started Watchmen. 1 episode in. Fascinating stuff so far. Will see where it goes.

i liked it a lot, but i'm also a big watchmen-fan. It is kinda weird, but well, otherwise it wouldn't be watchmen, right?

My wife was totally lost, so we've decided to watch the movie first, then come back to the show, so she can get up to speed.

Star Trek Picard


Episode 6


Good stuff.

[mizzer]

Ted Lasso - AppleTV

Actually really good. Bad News Bears for adults.

[MangaSpawn64]

Still going through Arrested Developpment... S4 now, which is now (even more) absurd than the other seasons. Still hilarious though

Laugh out loud funny! After all these years...

I have been watching Stargate lately. On Season 4, just got done with the episode where Jack and Teal'c get stuck in space in the X301 interceptor.

Fun fact, previously in season 4 they introduced the character "Anise", she was a sexy Tok'ra that wore tight fitting clothing. She was brought into the show because of 7 of 9 in Voyager. The producers saw how Voyager's ratings made a huge increase due to 7 of 9, so they decided they wanted to do something like that. The actress they got to play Anise actually almost got the part of 7 of 9 but Jeri Ryan got the part. Anyways, after some episodes the producers noticed that that ratings didn't change due to her character, neither negative or positive, so they decided to just drop the character since he wasn't needed.

The Servant, AppleTV. Very M. Night Shamalamaish [sp]. Bracing for a terrible ending but enjoying it so far.

that is interesting and I did find her... arousing... but I don't recall seeing her that often, how can they guage her from only 2 episodes wtf... I think if they kept her and in tight outfits she would have been great... and loosen her up a bit from what I recall she was pretty stiff & cold....

[koralis]

Watching Lupin on Netflix... it's awesome.

[A2597]

Superman and Lois is off to a great start IMHO.

[acroig]

Finished Behind her Eyes on Netflix. Wife and I enjoyed it. Bono's daughter is very good.

[Silent-Runner]

still slowly making my way through season 2 of Jessica Jones.

[Nascar24]

Believe I am through s6e22 of the office now, slowed down a bit from last week.

Also following Resident Alien and Bridge & Tunnel for the hot 70's bitches.

[Renocide]

Alright.

Finished Star Trek Picard. Awesome show.


Seeing as how I just got CBS All Access and it has ALL the Star Trek stuff...


Im thinking I want to go and watch EVERYTHING. Like start with the original show and just work my way up to now.

I've been a fan of the movies but never have watched the shows.

[Nascar24]

Probably means Amazon will be losing all the star trek I watch on there soon, sucks everyone has a streaming service now and wants you to buy them all which makes it more and more like cable along with the price.

It's anti-cable... instead of one source for all content, it's many sources for a variety of content. Price is a factor of how much variety you want at any given time, not something you could do with cable at all because they wouldn't let you pick and choose and would just pass along price increases that you couldn't do anything about. If CBS all-access gets too expensive, you can stop subscribing. That's incentive for CBS to keep things under control to maximize revenue. Because of cable bundling, the providers were somewhat insulated from people walking away which encouraged regular price increases.

That said, read an article on Ars the other day suggesting that a lot of the smaller streaming "channels" (AMC, Stars, etc) will probably get folded into larger services as the infrastructure cost/revenue ratio is not great.

I guess it gives choice but price is not really all that much cheaper anymore if you need several to get what you want. I would even go as far to say that you probably get more from cable in that instance.

A single service probably provides more than you can watch at a time... you don't NEED it, so it comes down to how much you WANT.

I take the route of cycling between services, consuming what I want, then moving to others. At any given time, I have more stuff to watch than I have time to watch it. If I subscribed to absolutely everything I'd have the ABILITY to watch anything, but I still wouldn't be watching everything because I only have so much time in a week I'm willing to dedicate to TV.

With cable, that rotating service option wasn't possible because of their tiering strategy (as well as not having asynchronous streaming, so that you can watch things when you want them, month after the fact.)


All told it's better in my opinion. So far I haven't subscribed to CBS all-access or Apple TV, and Disney/Stars/HBO get subscribed and dropped periodically depending on what's on. Might eventually get to channels I don't currently watch when the content backlog becomes sufficiently compelling for me. But at least I don't have to pay for that content today while I have plenty of other things to watch like I would have with Premium tier cable.

If Netflix or Amazon bought/distributed it, the price of those subscriptions would end up rising just like your cable bill when they added new channels.

If you're going in chrono order then you start with Enterprise, followed by Discovery followed by TOS.

If you managed to like picard, I really wonder what you'll think of the thoughtful, hopeful future presented in TNG...

I didn't want to say anything since I though Picard kinda sucked....

[Nascar24]

I agree it does, Its Trek though and I will keep watching it but Picard really shows his age in his acting in this one, I thought they were going to change the direction of this show with how it ended but they didnt take what they shoould have done and run with it.

Yeah sadly Paramount will keep getting my money, even with Turd Trek.

[KAC]

Superman and Lois was surprisingly decent. However, what’s with men crying in everything these days? Like seriously. All these metrosexual idiots these days are adding strong characters showing pussy traits.

[nutcrackr]

Watching Chuck again, good show and nostalgic. Might start watching Dexter again soon.

I miss shows like Chuck. I have fond memories of binge watching that every night in bed when I still lived at home and life didn't suck.

[Renocide]

Was there something in particular you didn't like?

I'm no hardcore fan of Star Trek that's for sure and a buddy of mine who is says he hates all the Next Generation movies that I thought were good. Maybe I don't know what makes a good Star Trek movie/show.

He never could really tell me what he didn't like about the movies but that it "Didn't have the right feel of a true Star Trek film." Whatever that means.........

Patrick Stewart is really showing his age though. I remember one scene where someone ran up to hugged him and he just sorta got squashed by it. Like he didn't have the strength to hug back. It was awkward.

[Lazy8s]

30 Coins ep 1 - pretty well done, intense

[JZL]

I'm getting in the time machine and going back a decade to watch Flying Wild Alaska, 25 years back for NewsRadio, and almost 30 years for Flying Blind, three of the best TV shows ever on.

[KAC]

Started watching some history documentary/show about Japanese Warlords. Was bored after 1 episode.

[Chuck]

Finished watching The Crew S1 on Netflix. Much more enjoyable than I thought it will be given how Kevin James wasn't in anything remotely entertaining for the past decade.

[andino]

The wife and I started watching Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.

It's a decent show.

[GravY]

Watched Murder on Middle Beach. Bit slow but overall interesting.

Now watching The Jinx. Nuts.

[Nascar24]

Almost to last season of the office, now at s8e21
