Started/finished Banshee; older show but pretty nuts. Enjoyed it and the cast was great.

Great show! Too bad they had to squeeze at least 3 seasons worth of ideas into the final season.

Just finished it. My wife loved it, I wasn't as thrilled.

I absolutely love Dark, but 1899 left me not so jazzed. I'll still watch the second season if one drops.

The shows does such a great job of making a pretty high concept plot understandable and "real".

You know the military already went knocking to see if any of that is actually doable.

Thanks to my brother, I have become a fan of The Goes Wrong Show; the premise is a play-of-the-week show, on the BBC, wherein every single thing that can go wrong in a play will do. There are two seasons, but I don’t have access to Season 2, without paying for it.

The Winchesters, the Supernatural prequel. Watched the first two episodes. Had no idea it was out.
1/10. Seriously horrible. Everything that made Supernatural a killer show is completely absent from this. No character is likable. The writing sucks. It’s just complete shit.

I'd argue that social media is the bigger waste of time. We are creeping up on two generations of thumb-typing cell phone gazers. They have zero ability to interact socially and can't spell a complete word to save their asses. If it doesn't happen on TikTok or Instagram, it isn't worth knowing. Those stupid bastards will one day run the world...
50 somethings that think their blank stare TV gazing is different from kids on phones are hilarious. Even more hilarious is that these parents are the ones that spawned the cell phone gazing generation because they were too busy staring at the TV for their entertainment.

tl;dr you stupid bastards caused the current "stupid bastards"

If anything, I think the internet and social media has improved the general standard of spelling and grammar, as people are quick to dogpile mistakes. Go on a discord server and start typing like a thicko and you'll get burned.

I don't think I'd go that far. Mary is an insufferable idiot, but I kinda dig the flagrantly stereotypical bi dude for his flamboyance, and the little eastern looking friend. John, well, we always knew he was an ass. His mom, played by Jennifer from Rules of Engagement, is shockingly competent for a CW show character. I think they fucked up and hired somebody decent on accident.
And my main problem with the show was that this clearly *COULD NOT* be the same universe as Supernatural. Funnily enough, once they started showing pictures of Dean & Baby together in the show there was some mild excitement. The mid season break episode was where they explained it all away with Dean, Bobby, Baby, and the Colt was pretty much fan-candy.
"We're not supposed to interfere, ya idjit!"
"I just wanted to find a universe where my family still had a chance at happiness."
"Did you find it?"
"I think so."
I will fully admit this is our end-of-week, get hammered and heckle the show show, so maybe most of our enjoyment is from the fact it's easy to tear apart? But the Dean & Bobby episode was pretty darned good for tickling the itch. We figured if we can tolerate Padalecki destroying what's left of the Walker legacy, we could tolerate this too. Much like Walker, it mostly just makes us wanna go back to the original.

My daughter of 9 is now insisting we watch Hogan's Heroes from beginning to end. Before, the show was in her periphery, but after the last time we put it on, she's really invested.
Now if I could squeeze in Rockford Files.

Finally got around to getting caught up on season 3 Righteous Gemstones hahaha, holy fuck BJ's fight scene
I'm 3 episodes in on Twisted Metal, it's been entertaining and I like the music they used for it. I'll end up watching the rest of it.
