I watched it years ago. I thought I’d give it another go since Walton’s in it. It’s been fun spotting actors from The Wire and other cop shows.

[Eric Cartman]

Also underrated forest whittaker guest starring and stealing the season.

My head canon is that The Shield is a direct sequel to The Commish after a messy divorce

I was gonna link this in the 'free longform content viewing thread', but it got nuked from YouTube, but before it was I was greatly enjoying Guy Montgomerys Guy Mont Spelling Bee while I had access, and it doesn't appear to be legally available in the UK

Rewatching Deadwood, intend to actually finish it this time especially now that the movie is out (and has been for five years lmao), and I forgot how Calamity Jane has such a way with words.

Deadwood

Just marathoned the first 7 episodes of Murderbot.

My initial fears were out to rest pretty quickly and, aside from the Preservation Aux people being exceptionally stupid, it's been a great adaptation. 

Highly recommended.

I am on a rewatch with my missus (never seen it). We paused at the end of season 1. A genuine masterpiece, though I know it kinda goes downhill from here.

It's amazing that Timothy Olyphant is so bad when everyone else is so good.

Even though he's comparatively pretty bad in it, Bullock is still like proto-Raylan.

[Besticus Maximus]

Well I finally binged through the entirety of the Rehearsal. I didn't really get Nathan Fielder until the Curse but he's won me over now, he's an absolute lunatic.

I've watched the first 4 or 5? episodes and basically went in blind, but its a fun show - I don't know how accurate to the source material it is, but the main character being stuck with a bunch of hippy-dippy anti-corporate types who are constantly wanting to include him in things like affirmation ceremonies while he just wants to clock off and continue binge watching his sci fi show is VERY RELATABLE.

Im assuming the show within a show has a payoff later on, as holy shit the guest star cameos they have doing not-star-trek

The Bear is like if you wanted to convert your insecurities into fantastical cummeries, and then you feel bad about it.

Ironheart, in 2/3 thirds (as always) fantastic, fuck all you racists bitches.

Masterchef still hilarious on all fronts.

Squid Game 3 came out and it may be me but there’s a lack of energy around it. Dunno if season 2 fizzled out or what.

I still haven't got around to watching s3 of The Bear. It's emotionally taxing and I haven't been in the right mood.

Apparently s2 was trash. Don't know. Haven't watched it.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

s3 is ok it was ok

s4 fucks

[Potato]

I guess I'm just going to have to do the work on s3

[Cauliflower Of Love]

It's good just power through

[Eric Cartman]

Squidgame S2 was good, but it was also extremely obviously just the first half of an actual S2 - to the point that the first episode of S3 (all I've watched so far) is literally part 2 of the season finale 2 parter, which is fine(?) for an episodic structured tv show kind of deal, but kind of shitty when its episodic due to format not content and fairly obviously stretched out to two seasons to maintain subs longer than the month of content drop.

I'll finish it up and post thoughts, but I'd have rather watched the whole thing when it should have released, and Sandman is coming out next week which I'd rather watch first
The first season was fairly good, and the stuff I wasn't a big fan of could stil have worked as part of the 'bigger picture', but they've already said season 2 is the final season which is crazy given what they've covered so far and what's still left to cover, and not only that this season also includes a fucking spin off miniseries within it, so.... yeah, I wanna see whats what.
My prewatch supposition is them saying Gaimain getting cancelled has nothing to do with this season being the last is pure horseshit, but maybe they do satisfactorily ~30 comic books worth of content in a 10 episode Netlfix season after taking a previous 10 to cover about 8.

The Bear S3 was mostly good, but it was spinning its wheels quite a fucking lot and I'm not super hyped for S4 as a result - if they don't start getting back to some plot things happening in favour of 'just vibes', I'm not sticking around for a hypothetical S5.

There's this really funny cartoon I've been watching about this family of yellow-skinned people called the Simpsons, not sure if anyone has heard of it. I'm on season 7 right now.
