What TV show have you seen recently ? Episode one

What's wrong with the couch? Better than the hand me down from my parents lol. Pretty sure it was from my childhood home prior to when they built their last house, so would have been 90s sometime. It's really starting to show some wear but I'm too cheap. Although I do have a cat so maybe if I could find something that didn't trap fur as much it would be worth it.

It's pretty comfortable, just kind of gross looking. Im cheap too but i'm not going to put a green plaid couch in my house

Quick recent-ish Netflix rundown:

Transporter: The series - This show is incredibly average on it's own, the acting, the premise, the awkward use of an IP without the character from the movie... but what makes it truly awful is the intro theme music. It's a Rush cover song and I challenge anyone to find a worse cover of anything that is as gutwrenchingly bad as this. My wife literally yelled at me like three times while the show was on when the song came on, it's that bad.

Crazyhead - It's like Ash vs The Evil Dead, but in the UK with less main characters with a little less bloodlust and maybe more of a younger vibe to it. It's decent, entertaining.

Slasher - Holy hell is this show dumb. Maybe intentionally cheesy, it's basically those late 90's MTV era style slasher movies rolled into a TV show (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer). The most important thing though is Katie McGrath (Lena Luther from Supergirl) is in this show and that makes it very watchable even though you might sit through the whole entire season and then have no clue what's going on because it's not really important. I actually watched it once, then forgot I watched it (because I couldn't recall anything) and then watched it again and it wasn't until I was half way through that I realized I had already watched it.

Breakout Kings - Man this show is dumb. That's all.

Limitless TV series - Okay premise obviously. Watchable.

Kakegurui (Anime series) - Holy f*** this is great. The premise is that there is this elusive school where basically everyone just gambles in all the damned time, add to that a cast of insane gambling addict waifu's who get off on gambling. Excellent animation, art, and the music is cool as hell. Don't watch this show with kids around, it goes places, it has an heavily implied sexual theme throughout (no nudity or anything like that). If you're looking for something a bit weird, this will do the trick.

Chris Rock: Tamborine - f***, he's still funny.

Everything Sucks! - It's like Stranger Things but set 10 years later, no sci-fi/horror angle and 11 is now named Kate and she's the principals daughter.

Colony - After recently watching Lost, I had to watch this. It's decent, would watch again and I'm looking forward to a new season if they do make one.

Devilman Crybaby - f*** yes.

Hemlock Grove - Meh.

End of the F***ing World - Do watch this. Pretty good show, though the episodes are a bit short and the season isn't very long. Probably could've put it all back to back and just made it one big movie and it would been fine.

Wanted - I like this show, you might too.

Travelers - Yes.

Bates Motel - If you haven't watched this show because you thought the idea of making a show based on the old Hitchcock movie seemed a bit stupid, I was there too. Then I remembered there were like three other Psycho movies that were progressively weirder and made less sense and mushed up the story to hell. The show is a modern reboot of the story, taking all the interesting bits from the movies, re imagining certain parts and a ton of fleshing out. Definitely worth watching cover to cover, the guy cast as Norman is so f***ing off-putting and fantastic in his role, Norma has a great role as well, they do a good job of fleshing her out in ways that you probably won't see coming if you're basing it on the old movies. Recommended.

MIND HUNTER - Perfect.

Ash vs The Evil Dead - Perfect.

3% - My only disappointment here is that there is no season 2 yet. Definitely check this out but maybe wait until the new season drops so you can binge with no restraint.

The Mist - You'll either get one or three episodes in before you start thinking 'Man this is kinda cool.... wait, wtf? no, it's garbage. Hmmm **removes from MY LIST**"

Residue - I honestly don't remember a damned thing about watching this show other than I watched it. I'm assuming it meh.

How to Get Away With Murder - I liked it. A little hokey, but decent.

Riverdale - Excellent.

I probably wrote most of these already, oh well

The Joel McHale show just started on Netflix and it is hilarious. It is basically the Soup but without them owning any rights to it.
 
Riverdale - Excellent.

Riverdale ftw! I want to drown Archie at times, but Jughead and the rich deadhead bitch more than make up for it.

I hate how they split seasons up now!

I really Liked Season 1 of How To Get Away With Murder. Annalise is just f***ing awesome, but when they start throwing in so many twists for season 2, it felt more like Days of Our Lives.

I haven't watched season 2 of How To Get Away With Murder so I'll have to get on that soon.

And yeah, that "hey let's put a break in the middle of a season" bs that The Walking Dead started is annoying; at least it's not as long though.
 
Do any of you watch those cooking shows?

My Kitchen Rules is on each night here, and both my partner and I love it for different reasons.

I hate 'foodie' bulls***. Like, a single pinch of salt in a broth for 20 people, would have elevated a 7/10 dish, to 10/10. I hate eating in front of people too, but still have to dine out 3-5 times a week with clients for work.

But I love the drama, the bitchiness, and the way they manufacture people's reactions to comments. One of my mates was on it years ago, and he told me that when they're interviewed privately, for diary moments, they make them wear the same clothing so they can edit your comments into any episode they want, to create rifts that aren't there.

My partner on the other hand, loves all that foodie crap. He loves fine dining, and I love indulging him with it at times, but I just don't get the appeal.

I'm happier with a pint of a beer and a steak.

About to watch the final 5 episodes of Season 7 of Game Of Thrones. Season 6 was amazing and my favorite. I was at awe watching the Battle Of The Bastards. Also having to watch a certain young person be sacrificed was heartbreaking to watch. Just so many “oh s***!” moments I love this show it has definitely been an experience.
 
Also catching up on the first season of Legion

Finished the newest season of Jessica Jones. Which reminded me that I only watched the first episode of Defenders. Now I'm halfway through that.
 
Is Atlanta one of those GOAT shows? I hear a lot of people rave about that show but I never catch it on.

Seems like it. Donald Glover has already won an Emmy or two for the shows first season.

You can catch it on Hulu or the FX app if you have either of those

I wanted to watch Atlanta first season but never got to it. Not sure if it's available anywhere.
 
I guess not. That sucks. I had them recorded and lost them and figured they would be on demand. I could have sworn it was on Netflix as well, but it's not.
I have seen them have the prior season show up before the new season airs so maybe it was at one point.
 
Watching Vikings season 5 and it's great.

Totally forgot about Vikings which is weird for me to forget to check if a new season for a show I really like was coming out, boom a whole new season to binge!
