Yes. ::wink::

Yeah, that's a good one!

Watched through Stranger Things Season 3.
Wow. What an improvement over the second season...that heap was what stopped me. Wasn't all bad but right off a really strong first season really didn't go well for it.
Though yeah, Season 3, all is well. I'm now wanting to watch again.

i just started watching Schitts Creek last night on Nexflix.
SCTV veterans Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy reunite for the umpteenth time for a comedy about a very rich family that loses their fortune and are forced to live in 2 rooms of a motel in a tiny run down rural town. It's kind of the Beverly Hillbillies in reverse.

I never wanted to see it just because of the name alone ..
it just sounded too cheap and easy ..

Glad i finally gave it a shot because it's pretty damn funny
Episodes are only around 21 min each - i watched 10 in a row last night :D

I have to say, when I saw it was a TV comedy with Eugene Levy who back in the pre-American Pie days I found pretty funny...I largely avoided it based on the more recent Levy stuff (not that I hated Jim's dad...just..they started making him the same character in everything) and yes, also the name of the show.

However, I've since seen bits of one or two episodes on late night TV and it's become something that's on my list of things I might eventually watch.


Same thing happened with "The Mighty Boosh" and "Broad City"...a combination of hearing they were a bit irreverent and stupid, and just...you ever have shows talked up WAY too much by people?
Those were two of them...and I guess they might have been from people I wouldn't expect to have a half decent taste? Who knows.

Watching them both, yes, they are irreverent and stupid...and I don't love either name, they don't "sound" like shows I would watch...It's funny how a human being does that...however, they're both watchable in at least as much as a "when I'm sitting around doing nothing and/or being stoned, I can easily watch these shows.



Last night, watched some cooking with cannabis type show hosted by some dude and Kelis. It was...what it was...the recipes did look pretty delicious, if not a little too reliant on commercial THC extracts...the whole thing felt like a bit of an advertisement because of the branded products though.
Couldn't help but feel like they shamelessly ripped off another show from a couple of years ago...nearly the exact same format.

Started on RED DWARF again...
Well, not from the beginning - from the "Back to Earth" mini series, which was quite clever.
I'd seen all the old stuff, back to earth, and maybe 1/2 of the first "new" season after that...kind of quit on it, as I didn't like the new stuff quite as much...and I still don't...but with the recently released "The Promised Land" mini/movie, I figured I'd catch up.
Still watchable, and it's nice to see the old cast together if nothing else.
Enjoying it at a moderate level.

I'm watching the BBC series Merlin right now.

It's very nostalgic for me but also holds up surprisingly well in its own right.

Rory is in it. ::love::

Dispatches from Elsewhere -

I believe a few people here wanted to watch this show. All the episodes are on demand now so I just watched the first one. It's pretty good. According to wiki this is based off an actual game and documentary film called The Institute. I might check that out after this show.

There is a cool animated bit in the show that is pretty clever. Also a building with a beautiful water fountain which I'm trying to find.

The story so far is basically a bored guy who lives by going to work and coming home gets involved in a reality type game. Or actually a few characters have different ideas on what it really is. We'll have to watch the whole series for a definite answer. I hope this doesn't end on a cliffhanger.

Also, there is an actress in the show that had my mind asking all kinds of questions. I wanted the bored guy to ask the lady where she is from or something a bit possibly insulting because her voice was kind of strange. But I checked wiki and this is a bit of a spoiler so I'll space it out a bit.





WARNING!!!










WARNING!!!!!!!!!!















Ok. The actress is like the Matrix brothers. Now called the Matrix siblings. She's a trans actress. Which is fine. I think I've only glimpsed one before in an HBO or Showtime show. Also, I read a story once about a show by the Matrix siblings that I want to see. But it was about how trans actresses were only getting trans roles. And sometimes not even those. Yet that actress looked like any other woman.

Perhaps Trump is right, I heard him say once that trans people take a lot of drugs. I don't know how he would know that. But what ever the condition of the actress, I can see why that bathroom debate is important. As no way should she enter a man's bathroom. I've had small incidents in bathrooms. I would hate to see what odd guys would attempt with a trans actress in a male bathroom.

But anyway, she has a cool, fun, and adventurous type character in Dispatches from Elsewhere. Probably so good that people shouldn't be worried about not casting similar actresses.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Kyle Richards was talking about filming "Halloween Kills". Hadnt heard about this.

Portals to Hell (Watching With the Osbournes)

Man, Ozzy looks BAD!

Strange World

90 day Fiance

Creepshow on Shudder

The Dead Files

i started Ozark... got through season one.

I'm hanging on by my fingertips because i really like Bateman in this but it's pretty obviously a combination of Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and Schitts Creek.

A little relentless in it's pacing .. one thing never resolved before something else pops up .. it's starting to get tiring despite the interesting characters and great performances.

Also that harsh dark blue light everything is shot in makes it exceptionally joyless.

Dexter was the one show that handled that well .. juggling issues, one thing after another .. but it was more of a fantasy so it worked better for me .. and there would be periods of rest - and more humor. More contrast.

I'll start the new season and see how it goes.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

urge, have you watched “Dark” on Netflix? I think you’d like it.

don't know it - I'll look into it

OK. Let me know if you give it a watch. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Finished Marianne, started The Valhalla Murders.

this one caught my eye ... any good ?

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

I watched all episodes in two days. It has some flaws, but I kept watching it and I wasn't bored. If you like dark, Scandinavian crime stories, then it will work for you, I guess. ::wink::

i'm loving everything Scandinavian these days
one of my favourite films in years was In Order Of Disappearance (remade in america as Cold Pursuit .. which was also excellent - same director)

I haven't seen that one, looks good and there's Stellan Skarsgård in it. ::cool::
I started watching another Icelandic crime TV series called Trapped (Ófærð) on Netflix.

I'm alone at work today. I'm on episode 3 so far. Really liking it! I'm a sucker for a good murder mystery!

it should be the very next thing you see ... i absolutely loved it - one of my favourite films in the last 10 - 20 years

finished Ozark season 2 last night.

this series really wears on you. still great performances though.

Good to know. I liked it as well, now I'm watching Trapped (I have five episodes of season one left) - worth checking out if you enjoyed The Valhalla Murders.

Actually I'm going to watch it today, you convinced me. ::cool::

Excellent. I'll add it to the queue.

EDIT: added it to the Amazon Prime queue. Maila, have you seen "Fortitude"? Another excellent murder mystery on Prime. It has 2 seasons. My own personal opinion is the first season is better than the second. But, second season is still enjoyable.

No, I haven't seen that one. I will check it out, thanks. ::cool::

Killing Eve Season 1 7/10

The creators should have followed their own title and stuck with just 1 season. I would say the story has enough meat for a 2 hour movie and that’s about it. Felt this show jumped the shark already at episode 4 of its first season. Not good.

But the actress playing the psycho killer is wonderfully amazing and season 1 is worth watching for her alone. Watched the first 2 episodes of season 2 and I think I’m gonna leave it at that.

finished Ozark.

I guess thats it for now - nothing new coming for the foreseeable future.

I miss it a bit because as before,, I find the continuous downslide of events to be relentless, but I really like the characters... so I'm a bit conflicted.

I admire Jason Bateman's performance more and more - it's incredibly nuanced...and consistent. nothing you would notice until you watch everything.
