Ok, I know this isn't common, but we just didn't love Schitt's Creek after the first season. We're gonna put it aside and maybe come back to it. I do think it's funny, but the characters are soooooo....just obvious after one episode, it sort of feels like we're just watching the same thing over and over again?
We're going to try Killing Eve next.
I am getting AMC now that the cable co has given us about 5 additional channels for free because of corona. So I was looking forward to checking out Killing Eve. Big disappointment. It was OK, but it was just the same old stuff. i.e., weird person doing violent things that just aren't believable anyway. Same as all the other 'shocking' shows. I'm just tired of it. I made it through about 25 minutes (including 2 big commercial breaks of course). No more.
On the good news front, though. I am watching (on ABC?) a sitcom called 'Bless this Mess' about folks in small town Nebraska. Most of the cast are irritating self-absorbed types, but I like the older guy played by Ed Begley and his romantic relationship with the lady sherriff in the town. If the episode has Ed in it, I like it.
We made it through the whole first season of Killing Eve. Sort of sorry I did. The first episode, we weren't sure, but we had the disc of 4 so....there was an episode or two that were red flags, but episode 4 was better, so we thought we'd try the last 4 of the season. The last one was really cringeworthy and I could not suspend my disbelief. I can't believe it's still going. Also, I know Phoebe Waller-Bridge was the writer and I had heard such great things about Fleabag....and now I'm not sure if we should watch THAT.
Since I like 'Run' so much, I've googled it, and it turns out that Waller-Bridge ius involved in 'Fleabag' , 'Run', and "Killing Eve'. I'm not going to let it ruin my enjoyment of 'Run', if possible.
I haven't ever seen 'Fleabag'. Maybe I would like it, don't know.
I'm not even interested in seeing Tiger King. Sounds so predictable.
Seems like the new thing to do in TV series is to 'out-weird', 'out-sleaze' and 'out-lowlife' the other shows.
Oh wow, look, a bunch of weirdo scum**gs running around and someone is trying to insert a plot! How amazing, let's binge-watch! No thank you.
I'll take normal folks with some *relatable* and believable things going on, where good things happen once in a while, lol.
