What TV series do you like?

[FIRE Artist]

I recommend The Rehearsal.

I barely made it through the first episode, I found it very anxiety inducing.  I over think social interactions too much as it is, having to preplan and practice to this degree would just make it far, far worse.

My current guilty pleasure is Indian Matchmaker on Netflix.  I find the level of superstition employed to be really surprising for a group of young people who are otherwise very progressive for their culture.  In general I find myself rooting for pretty much all the relationship hopefuls, even those who are intended to be the “difficult” ones.  A fun reality tv show all around.

I enjoyed the first episode of the Rehearsal and found it very funny.  But the second episode was painful, and there were zero laughs during the part that I watched before I had to turn it off.  But it did lead me to Nathan for You on hulu, which was enjoyable and I will definitely continue.

Another Netflix drama, "I Just Killed My Dad."  True story, limited series, following a teen who admits to shooting and killing his dad at their home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 
Explores how it all came to this, and how his attorney manages his defense, up to and including the final sentencing.  Very engrossing.

Thanks for mentioning this one.  DW and I 'enjoyed' (probably not the best way to describe it, maybe 'was engrossed by', as you said) "The Girl in the Picture" which was by the same team so I wondered about this one.  Still on a bit of emotional overload on just how horrible the world can be if you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time (under the thumb of a monstrous human being), but I'll give this one a gander eventually.

We just watched Ron Howard's Thirteen Lives on Prime and thought it was really well done.  Not exactly a series, but definitely worth a watch.  And Nat Geo's The Rescue was a good companion piece.

The Puppet Master on Netflix is probably the most insane of this genre that I've seen so far.

I've watched a few of these true crime things, and that's probably the one that stayed with me the most, not because it was the most shocking or dramatic (lookin' at you The Keepers, and Bad Vegan), but more because of they guy's motivation.

I get the motivation in The Keepers: perverts abuse young catholic school girls, there's a huge conspiracy, murder ensues. Perfectly logical, horrifying, but logical.

Bad Vegan is batshit insane, but again, I get the motivations. The dude was delusional and she had extreme sunken cost fallacy. Makes sense in a fucked up way.

But The Puppet Master???

Oof...n'ah, my brain isn't capable of the mental gymnastics to understand the motivations to do what he did, and I'm pretty good at understanding deranged criminal motivations, I lived with a criminal psych expert for years. But this guy left me cold thinking "that is FUCKED up."

I didn't even want to watch it because I'm a very big long time fan of the Sandman comics . . . but the new Sandman series is pretty good.

The Puppet Master reminded me of this memoir by a Canadian author, her mother and step-father had them on the run in a fake witness protection program. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33517409-run-hide-repeat

Hold on a second, BONUS EPISODE?!!!!  WooHoo

[uniwelder]

Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix. We’ve seen the first three episodes and really enjoying it. It’s a Korean legal drama with an autistic lawyer as the main character. I find it to be very well written, great characters, heartwarming, and fun.

[Noodle]

It had been awhile since I watched a K-drama and Extraordinary Attorney Woo looked fun so I tried an episode. I was meant to watch just a few minutes before bedtime and ended up staying up way too late to finish up. Looking forward to watching more!

I've been so-so on the MCU movies lately but really liked the Disney+ series. I wasn't all that interested in Moon Knight at the outset but found it more charming than I expected. Ms. Marvel was lovely; I was somewhat less interested just because I'm a bit old for teen issues now but I liked the characters a lot and look forward to seeing more of them; She-Hulk was a lot of fun in the first episode and I am looking forward to watching the rest.

Last weekend I watched the new series "A League of Their Own" on Prime. It's very different from the 1990s movie and tells some interesting stories that haven't been done a million times. Also recommend "Rutherford Falls" and "Resident Alien" on Peacock, which is one of the services I rotate through occasionally.

[mspym]

Pachinko on Apple TV is really good and covers a subject that doesn't get a lot of airtime - the Zainichi presence in Japan after the Japanese occupation of Korea. I also appreciate that it's trilingual and that the actors have the intonation and rhythm of each language down, it sounds very fluent and realistic. Plus Lee Min Ho in a dapper 1920s suit.

[Moonwaves]

I've been eyeing up Extraordinary Attorney Woo for a while but was it is still on new episodes every week here, so I'm glad I waited. Started it this weekend and the final episodes should be released by the time I get that far. It is going very quickly though. Currently watching the episode about the Children's Liberation Army.

I found it was interesting that they had one defendant who was also autistic but far more severely than Woo Young-Woo so that she had to explain that it's a spectrum. And they got in some background on Asperger being a Nazi which I did not know before (I'm not sure I ever thought about whether Aspergers got its name from a person, to be honest, and it's not used anymore anyway as far as I know) so going and looking into all of that history is now added to the list of things to read about.

Anyway, Extraordinary Attorney Woo will keep me going while I'm waiting for the final episodes of Cafe Minamdang to be released, too. That's the other K-drama I've been watching recently.

Apart from that I watched the first episode of Kleo this weekend. Set in Berlin just after the wall came down. Former East-German spy released from prison and goes on a hunt for revenge/to find out and kill whoever contributed to putting her away. Fairly violent but not too gratuitously and I generally like series set around that time.

[sui generis]

Did anyone watch the series finale of Better Call Saul?  I sort of hate to ask, because we are just wrapping up the previous season and I suspect there's a lot I don't know and don't want to yet.  But by the headlines I keep seeing, it seems like the critics at least were wowed by the finale.

I watched it as it was coming out. It consumed my thoughts all summer. It was one of the best finales I've ever seen-- like something from classic cinema.

I just came here to write about Indian matchmaking. I’ve binged it and I was happy during the few days that I had episodes to look forward to. I guess the next season is set in London. I’m hoping the UK Indian girls aren’t as entitled as those in the U.S.

We're 3 episodes into "Woo" and I definitely anticipate finishing the season. It's much different than our usual fare, but that's not a bad thing. Episode 3 hit me really hard in the feels; it was powerful stuff. The dad arc, coupled with the autistic client and that damn prosecutor! That jerk!

[FIRE Artist]

I really enjoyed Under the Banner of Heaven on Disney+, about an LDS community murder invesitgation from back in the ‘80s, based on the Jon Krakauer book of the same name.

I found it really enthralling and now am looking forward to reading the book.  It was also a fun watch because it was filmed in my province and I know someone who was an extra who got screen time.

Yikes, I've somehow managed to watch all but one of the available episodes. At least we get two more tomorrow.

I'm in awe of the people who translate television and film and the way they manage to still include wordplay and the like. There's a whole series of dad jokes in one episode that I really enjoyed - proper groaners. It would be really nice to understand Korean but I lasted about ten seconds on Duo Lingo. I can recognise a good bit but of course when you're reading the subtitles that's not too hard. Although at this stage I can recognise enough (I think), that I can sometimes pick up when the translation says one thing but the actual words used in Korean mean something else and still the overall sense of the dialogue remains intact. It's fascinating.

I would love to find a site that recaps and explains some of the cultural nuances. The acting is so good that you get what's going on pretty well, but I have the distinct sense that there are things  I'm not getting because of the cultural differences.

[Nick_Miller]

Ugh. A scene toward the end of Episode 5 of "Woo" (if you've watched it you probably know which one I'm talking about) made me cry; I was NOT ready for the sweetness. Damn I haven't been hit that hard by scene for a LONG time. Bravo to the actors and the writers.

This is really a magnificent show. My wife wants to BINGE it hardcore but so far I have persuaded her that it's best to enjoy one episode every couple of nights to let the content sink in. The legal scenes are twisty, compelling, and many times shades of grey, and Woo is one of the most endearing protagonists I've watched for quite a while. Her little greeting with her best friend just makes me smile every single time. If the quality stays at this level for the entire season, this will be one of the top shows of 2022.

I cannot watch subtitled shows thanks to my cat who insists on sitting in front of the tv any time it's on.

I'm the same with the greeting. And lots of her interactions with her friend.

I am loving the sweetness all around - it's lovely, without being too saccharine. I want to binge it but also don't want it to be over so fast. I think I may actually end up re-watching this one. Adding it to the list of feel-good things to watch.

Sounds good, but I'm guessing it's subtitled?

Yeah, I'm watching it in Korean with English sub-titles. There is usually audio in some other languages available. I just checked and on my Netflix for this particular show Spanish and Korean are the only audio languages available.

Did anyone watch Westworld season 4?

So I just happened to start watching a little bit into season 2 (sitting in while my husband watched). I thought it was fine, but had never watched season 1.

I watched 2,3, and 4 and thought it was okay. Good, but not perfect, but definitely interesting. StarHus checked out the DVDs for season 1 from the library and I got to watch it after season 4. It was like a beautiful ouroboros. Season 1 was really good, and it was perfectly good watching it AFTER the season 4 finale. 

But also - I would really like to see a season 5 now.

[evme]

Watched the first season of Cardinal on Hulu. It's a serial killer ("repeater") investigation show set in Ontario, Canada. Lots of Nordic Noir vibes. Some of it was extremely well done but I found some torture scenes to be gratuitous and over the top. The camera work and acting are really good, and it has one of the best long scenes with no cuts that I have seen done.

[brandon1827]

I thought season 1 of Westworld was really good...hopefully @StarBright you'll get a chance to go back and watch that one also

Wife wanted to start Umbrella Academy, so I grudgingly agreed...episode 1 is strange and I'm really hoping it gets better

Finished season 2 of Patriot this weekend. Crazy, crazy show. I'll never look at jellyfish the same way again.

They are. Kitchens are like a fucking Lord of The Flies insanity. I haven't seen it yet, but friends from my former life have watched it and said it's pretty accurate.

I've done some truly insane jobs, including ones where I've been splattered with blood from HIV positive homeless folks while they try to bite me. But to this day nothing rivals the insanity of being a chef. The culture is just wild, and I still have the literal scars to prove it.

I worked in several restaurants from an Italian deli and a casual chain to fine dining (albeit as as a server) when I was younger and this show immediately conjured up the familiar anxiety and exhilaration of the kitchen.  I don't think it's dramatized too much.

The Outlaws.
It has Christopher Walken; I'll stop talking now.

Just finished Season 1. Now to start Season 2.
Walken's character is "Frank Abegnale light". Stephen Merchant's dead pan beanpole look.

I watched season 1 of "Kevin Can F*** Himself" this weekend. I didn't think I'd like it, but I actually really liked it. The split between sitcom & drama style worked; I felt like it really captured the mindf*** that is a toxic marriage.

It's such a brilliant combo of being entirely referential to past sitcoms while also being a completely original concept.

That's impressive.

It's so well written, well acted, and well executed. The guy who plays Kevin evokes such a strong reaction of revulsion, it's quite impressive how he manages to perfectly capture that slapstick sitcom characterization, while making your skin crawl.

Annie Murphy said she really wanted to leave Alexis behind with her next major role, and she's done that so incredibly well in this show.

I binge watched Never Have I Ever series 3 while not feeling well. Had some laugh out loud moments. I love that John McEnroe narrates the show - so random but perfect.

House of the Dragon is ok, not great. Some of the main characters are unbelievably dumb, which provides some head scratching moments. In some instances, I think I must be missing details that will be explained later because some events are just too stupid to have occurred as shown.

I'd probably stick with the House of the Dragon series if Rings of Power hadn't come along, but LOTR is evidently bigger budget and more than enough fantasy for me.  I'll get around the GOT eventually if I have time, but I still haven't seen all of the original series which was better...  Online streaming is starting to suffer from too much quantity and not enough quality.

She was also very good as the psychiatrist in season 2 of ''Russian Doll.'' I wished there were more of her character.

[Nick_Miller]

Alright, I thought the first two episodes of 'Rings of Power' were visually impressive, if a bit slowly paced and generally underwhelming. I get that they have to introduce some characters and set the scene, even if we're familiar with the general setting, and I'm willing to hang around and keep watching. I have no knowledge of the underlying text, so I'm going into it with an open mind.

As someone else said, we're waiting on the GoT series for a while, at least until RoP is done, which should be in 6 weeks.

They had so many characters and storylines they were introducing, the two episodes ending up feeling quite scattered to me. Still excited to keep watching.
