- Halfway through S01 now ... I love this show so much. It's so fucked up.Continuity
- some scenes raped my brain S01, i think there is no need for this wtf violence moments if the story is good, and the story was good.api
- Although I had to laugh at *that* Popclaw scene in S01. Made me instantly think of drgs and his 'I want her to crush my head with her tighs like a watermelon.'Continuity
- Just finished s02 ep04 ... really good stuff.Ramanisky2

Really enjoyed this.

- Is this a guessing game ? :) are you talking about Third Day by any chance?Morning_star
- I don't get the problemdkoblesky
- Apologies. If there is a pic attached for some reason I can’t see it.Morning_star
- If it is about The Third Day I’ll let you finish all six episodes and then it would be cool to see if your opinion changes.Morning_star
- I can see the picture. Not sure what happened. I pasted just the link to the picture...Sorrydkoblesky
- I will let you know Morning_stardkoblesky
- Morning_star: I thought this was one of the most stimulating things I have seen for a long time. So much going on.dkoblesky

- is this that good? Jude Law is usually real good butgrafician
- imdb says "A man and a woman make separate journeys to a mysterious island off the British coast."grafician
- like I said, I have seen 4 of 6 and found it worth recommending based on that. but I do need to check with morning star after I finish watching itdkoblesky
- Thanks dk, I agree with you about art direction and cinematography, it’s quite innovative and certainly sets the mood well. Did you notice Brad Pitt on the...Morning_star
- ...credits? I wonder if it’s his influence. If I recall correctly he had a similar role on The OA.Morning_star
- @Grafician, I thought it was good. Certainly not a waste of 6hrs. I’d be interested what people think.Morning_star
- The shifts of tone were insane. But overall I liked it. I kept me watching - while most things are so boring.dkoblesky
- It is a real roller coaster ride. You absolutely never know what is going to happendkoblesky
- I liked how there was a little bit of the feeling that 'Lost' had in the first season or two....weird otherworldly mystery....dkoblesky
- Glad you enjoyed it dk. I loved the trippy hyper colour low DOF sequences and felt that the first 4 eps promised something awesome. Unfortunatly]ey I thought...Morning_star
- ...the final two episodes didn’t live up to the earlier promise. I think it lacked a deeper explanation of the myth and lore of the island. It finished with...Morning_star
- ...a rather domestic and obvious whimper. I’d still recommend it though.Morning_star
- There was a 12 hr broadcast which was originally intended as a live immersive theatre thing – done by punchdrunk. In between the 3rd and 4th episodes.Ranger
- Covid meant it became a TV thing. No idea how they pulled it off. Was more like an art project but with a lot of the elements of the story woven in.Ranger
- Still on Facebook until early December I think. ps really liked the series – a standout from this year for sure.Ranger

Just finished truth be told, can highly recommend. A journo investigating a crime, based in SF, Octavia Spencer in the main role.

- Looks so good, thank you.helloeatbreathedrive
- this goes into paranormal territory, but not horror, it's a trip nonethelessgrafician
- acting is good, not plot holes, production really good, it's a 6-7/10 showgrafician
- I found it a bit tedious. Didn't make it past episode 4Ianbolton

Just finished this very fun show on Prime

- Elena is so hot_niko
- They nailing the cliffhangers.DRIFTMONKEY
- God, Elena is so hot. Brilliant sets, direction, production and all that stuff. Even Hugh Grant is killing it. I never thought I'd see that happen.CyBrainX

- Right you areMrT
- Cheers is better than Friends. Frasier is better than Cheers.DRIFTMONKEY
- +helloeatbreathedrive
- And Seinfeld?Chimp
- Niles trying to press his trousers was hands-down the best physical comedy in the modern TV era.Continuity
- Zero laughs given.calculator
- Getting Leukemia is funnier than Friends.face_melter
- Oh baby I hear the blues a calling tossed salads and scrambled eggs, oh my, oh of I seem a bit confused well baby I got you peggednb
- But I don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggsnb
- I always thought it was overrated as it won every Emmy in the 90s. King of Queens was a better show in my opinion...and not appreciated enoughdkoblesky
- of course.fadein11
- I watched it back in the day after work when I got my first design gig. My Wife and I started watching again since covid hit. Funny show.aliastime
- always remembered this line; "Audrey, you borrowed the dress, you tore it. As an old Greek haberdasher once said: "Euripedes, Eumenides."_niko
- Frasier's a bit like Third Rock... - it's great until the suspension of belief lifts for a second and you realise how hackneyed and paint by numbers it all isNairn
- (both are series I really enjoy/ed - I just had to take a decade or two off them before I forgot what I'd noticed. Watched both again fairly recently)Nairn
- Seinfeld > Frasier > All other shows ever > TIE between Big Band Theory / Friends as worst show in history of man/woman/person IMO.ideaist
- Fuck, I hated TBBT. I made me cringe, see red, then want to commit genocide.
And leading with The fucking Barenaked Ladies after the cold open ...Continuity - ... didn't help one bit, either.Continuity
- Yeah +1 ideaistDRIFTMONKEY
- Cheer was better than Frasier. So was Seinfeld. Big Bang Theory was usually very good. Friends is probably the most overrated show of all time.CyBrainX
- I'm convinced people have been taken in by three supermodels enough to overlook how painfully dorked those three male characters are. The show has no laughs.CyBrainX
- MrT0
Good Scandi drama if you like that sort of thing. On SBS for Aussies, no idea in the first world.

Yo - trying to decide on a new one to watch once a week with my wife. Something darker, espionage, thriller, murder investigation, etc.
Debating between:
- The Americans
- Broadchurch
- what else?- Also considering Friday Night Lights but might watch that on my own.mg33
- Friday Night Lights so so good. If you havent seen The Night Of ... that will check most of your boxes. 10 eps.ridg0026
- The Undoing on HBORamanisky2
- check out The Undoing on HBO, yeah. Very solid. At first you think it's gonna be this then it shift to that and it's very good.Bennn
- AMERICANStank02
- Fargo?robotinc
- Luther was probably my favourite thriller from the last few years. I mean, come on: Idris Elba.
That said, Broadchurch was also very good.Continuity - I also enjoyed Marcella and River, though I don't know if they're on any of the streaming services anymore.Continuity
- Spiral, the French series from a few years ago.face_melter
- +1 for Luther.greyandred
- The Night Of - HBO thing from a few years back with riz ahmed and john turturrowoowahesque
- DARK on netflix... murder investigation, grim, amazing acting AND weirdness....
it's got it all, baby :)exador1 - Happy Valley. Made me cry at the end.https://www.yout...Longcopylover
- oh for f.. sake: https://www.youtube.….Longcopylover
- I'll also recommend Dark. 3 series, excellent acting, intelligent, weird, beautifully shot.Morning_star
- Breaking bad
Fargoakiersky - Ozark if you haven't seen it already, a great balance of grim and cynicismspl33nidoru

https://i.ibb.co/Dgf…Ramanisky2 - You reckon? Surely it's not who I think it is, as that would too obvious! Great show thoughIanbolton
- some things are so off in that series...they try to shock too much i think for it to be realistic, her behavior is very strange, i am waiting for the conclusionloool
- of the series to see if there's an explanation for it allloool
- I was suspecting the son as a strong possibility out of all the people with a motive.CyBrainX
- We shall find out tonightRamanisky2
- she is so off during the whole series that i wouldn't be surprised if the participated together with the kid...we'll find out tonight i guess...loool
- Well that was a very anticlimactic reveal.Ramanisky2
- I was hoping for a bit more of a shocking twist. Very good series though.BusterBoy
- Just finished this. What a limp finish.mort_
- I thought so too Mort. Even though I did like the characters, no matter how unlikeable they wereIanbolton
- Yeah, good characters.mort_
- The Killer
- CALLES5
wow nobody will recommend this jewel?
I did not want to watch until BAM best thing I've seen in years
- many already recommended it in the Netflix thread ;)Bennn
- https://kottke.org/2…grafician
- Yeah great show!dbloc
- LOLOLOL too many movie and tv threads! consolidate!dkoblesky
- yes. you have now reposted it for the 3th timemilfhunter
- Ending was ridiculous but great otherwise.mort_
- Loved itpedromendez
- Super series. And story told in 7 episodes is fantastic.stoplying
- love it tooGardener
- interesting that it was written in '83 by Tevis who also wrote the hustler and the color of money._niko
- I also think it was one of the best series in a long time, loved it BUT SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
One thing bugged me after the fact. When she goes back to the school_niko - and goes into the basement and sees her shrine etc and says she still owed the janitor $10. How was it that she wrote to him, asked him for the $5 entry fee_niko
- went on to win and not think to pay him back or at least write him back? after every success and every tournament win, not so much as a hi? thought about him_niko
- constantly during her games but never once thought to go and see him, or at least keep writing? Everything she had she owed to him really._niko
- @niko I thought that was quite consistent with the behaviour of an addict.mort_
- @niko I hear you. Thought it too. But she is an addict, alone in the world, with a fair helping of Autism. Keeping up with pen pals probably goes by the waysideHayzilla
