Just started last night. First ep was engrossing.

Liking the Good Place more in the 2nd series than in the first. I only like it ā€œa bitā€ in S1.

how much do you like it now?
i’m only on s1 but enjoying it. similar levels of pointlessness and watchability to parks and rec

I can’t say too much without spoilerz. But S1 appears to end kind of stupidly but S2 takes that stupid and makes it work.

I found S1 ok - breezy and … fine. S2 is … better.

I should write reviews for a living.

Vice Principals slowly became one of the best shows on TV. It’s been out and out brilliant last few epsiodes, I’m gutted that it’s ending next week but I know they’re gonna nail the finale.

it’s worth sticking with imo. seasons 2 and 3 are significantly better than the first one

Pilot was great.

Watching Stranger things at the moment. God I love Dustin

Have now watched Eps 2 and 3 too. The second episode was harrowing.

To continue in the vein of providing assessments using verbs of sensation in the past progressive: the third episode was engaging.

Just started watching True Detective S1. Dark. Really like Matthew McCon’s character. Heard the second series is well shit so I might just watch the first and leave it at that.

The second season was quite good but adjust your expectations as it’s an entirely different show.

watched the first one, thought it was decent but can’t really see myself carrying on with it tbh

david cronenberg’s acting was awful :DD

Binge watched True Detective S1 cos I’m mad ain’t I.

Erm…fucking hell. Great stuff but Christ, that was dark.

Amazed there hasn’t been a similar noir thing loosely based on the Saville cover up tbh (Red Riding don’t count).

don’t suppose anyone here ever watched/heard anything about red oaks? A couple of episodes directed by Gregg Araki, a few by Hal Hartley, two of my favourite directors, but on the other hand it sounds like it might still not be any good - would be curious if anyone has any opinions

The Expanse is on repeat - easily the best thing I’ve watched in ages with the exception of Stranger Things season 1. I’ve been putting off watching Jessica Jones and Iron Fist but I need to fully enjoy the Defenders apparently. Might check out Daredevil instead - heard it was really dark. Is The Punisher out yet?

That’s Star Trek Discovery finished its first half season then.

I’m really enjoying it. Took a while to get going, but I think it’s a good combination of Star Trek campiness and some surprising dark turns as well. The stuff alluded to (and briefly shown) in the finale - fucking hell. I’m liking having the overarching story but I hope they get to do some more fun self-contained stories like the Mudd time loop one as well. Long wait til January for more now! :open_mouth:

Sat through all of Morherland in one sitting over the weekend, it’s really good.

I’m the same here. It’s exactly the sort of thing I would like but haven’t got round to watching it. I probably will eventually

Glad to hear that. Enjoyed last week’s episode a lot.

Currently speeding through The Good Place. Watchable. Got the final episode of The Deuce to watch tomorrow morning.

I liked it plenty, very relaxed, fun and light. About as 80s nostalgia as stranger things, just for different aspects of the culture. Haven’t watched s2 yet but looking forward to it.
