I can’t further taint my memories of That 70’s Show, not after the Randy season and Danny Masterson stepping on the #MeToo gallows.
Seasons 1-7 still make it the best ever kids show. |

Currently watching a 90’s classic “Northern Exposure”. It has an absurdly high rating on IMDB which would be suspicious if the episode ratings weren’t so consistently high all the way through.
Three episodes in and I quite like it. It’s an odd mash up of genres, there’s a fish out of water basis surrounded by incongruous characters presented for appearances as though they are stock characters…then there’s the whole Native Alaskan/Native American thing which is familiar but totally different at the same time. The attitudes are quite sharp too, it has some snappy dialogue which tumbles in at great pace every few scenes. The lead is Rob Morrow who I only know because he was nearly in The Island Of Dr Moreau but fled the shoot when he saw how fucked it was. Well he’s good in this, adept at playing a kind of Pre-Eisenberg arrogant talkative neurotic who excels at worsening a scenario before coming through in the clinch. I assume some of you have seen it before, it was apparently a big hit. The female lead from Cliffhanger is in it, and Billy Drago’s son. He has better teeth than his dad at least. |

Finished the first season of Succession. A challenging watch but a great show. Brian Cox is a powerhouse.

It’s funny to think that “That 80’s Show” features the best comedic actor of any version of that show. (As much as I like Kurtwood Smith and Tommy Chong.)

A great team will always be worth more than a decent side with one all star player in it.
Glenn Howerton as Dennis Reynolds is the only truly well acted character performance in the entire main cast of IASIP, only Cricket comes close and he’s supporting. I like the show more often than not but it would be far better with some other good actors in it. Danny Devito isn’t even trying and he looks like John Gielgud next to Rob McElhenny. How can the guy that creates the show suck so badly as a performer in it? |

I’ve also seen a few episodes of AP Bio and Glenn Howerton is fantastic in that too.
Personally I’m a big fan of Danny Devito’s awkward delivery on Always Sunny. It’s weird. It works. I don’t need him to show his acting chops. He did that early on in his run and I’m glad they went in a different direction. |

Really enjoying The Last Of Us so far.
Never played the game so I have nothing to reference from it - series is excellent thus far. The opening scenes of episode 1 and 2 are particularly creepy. |

We’re doing a House MD rewatch/watching later seasons for the first time. It’s causing me lots of anxiety over what medical issues myself, wife, child, and one on the way could have.
Started AHS: Hotel to get a break. Wife not a fan of the gore. Back to House and anxiety it is! |

Oh absolutely. I’m waiting for an episode where they get the diagnosis right first time and move on to another case rather than the “we’ve sussed it”, patient gets worse, “we’ve solved it!”, patient gets worse, “now we’ve solved it!”, patient gets better/rarely a patient dies.

I've watched five of the six seasons of Nashville. In-between the ridiculous storylines and the music, there has always been a bit of social commentary running though it, which I had no issue with. But with season 4 and especially season 5, they just went crazy with the preachy social justice shenanigans. I've started the sixth and final season, but again as always, its peak vanished after season 3. I've also finished season 2 of Picard. I don't know why I subject myself to the modern Star Trek series, as they've turned out so naff. I haven't watched Strange New Worlds yet, mainly because I don't want to be disappointed again. |

Been binge watching “Hell On Wheels” which is classic Western fare in a weekly tv format.
It’s nothing like Deadwood, but it is a grown up Western…lots of fucked up stuff happening in a less casual way. Anson Mount and Common work well together. The whole show should have been about a white cowboy and a black cowboy being pals but the railroad theme is at least a good strong handle to grab onto. |

My wife approached me asking if I wanted to start watching Yellowstone, and then all the spin offs.
I teared up and told her "YEEE HAW" like a good Yank |

I’m finishing up season 3. Anson Mount looks a hell of a lot like Daniel Day Lewis at times, he pulls a certain shocked/angry face that probably sold him as the lead pretty fast. He’s a good actor too even if his storyline in this makes absolutely no sense at all.

I’ve got several Western mini-series to watch when I finish Hell On Wheels.
Westerns are so good. All types of western… |

Season 3 of Hell On Wheels is short on storyline but over quota on the big acting moments.
Great stuff. |

I've finished the sixth and final season of Nashville. What started as a ridiculous (but entertaining) show, became in its final two seasons a preachy, woke mess.
I'm rewatching season 3 of Westworld before I tackle its final season. It is a lot better than I remember from watching this season the first time round, though it does not touch the gloriousness of season 1. I'm also rewatching season 1 of Carnival Row before I watch the second (and I believe final) season. I'm hearing good things about the third and final season of Picard, though considering how low the standard was for the first two seasons, it might still only be average. I'll wait until all episodes are available before watching it. I still got all those Taylor Sheridan series watch yet: season 5 of Yellowstone; season 2 of Mayor of Kingstown; Tulsa King; and 1923. |

Big same on Nashville. I don't really care what I watch, so my wife watches whatever most of the time. I also abhor country music.
The stories were entertaining but over the top for sure. But those last two seasons just became really stupid. Hell, nearly everything after Rayna's death felt..... directionless, really. |

Started watching Picard Season 2 because I hear good things about Season 3 but don't want to skip Season 2.
Three episodes in, liking it a lot better than Season 1 already.... and I am a sucker for Star Trek time travel stories.... |

Just finished the first season of 1923. Taylor Sheridan bringing the goods again, though I don't think it reaches the heights of 1883; that series was top drawer. I think the Spencer Dutton/Alexandra storyline brings the show down a peg or two; it is fairly outlandish at times, even though still enjoyable to watch.
I'm around half-way through Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Modern Trek has burnt me too many times, but I have enjoyed the show thus far. It still feels like it is written by 12 year-olds, but Anson Mount has kept it together. |

Ted Lasso season 3 trailer got me in the feels.
I have to say, merely seeing him in the locker room without his trademark Richmond polo feels like serious foreshadowing. I mean the logical end game for Ted's character was always that he'd return to the US to be with his son. So I assume the 3-season arc will stay true to that. But even if Apple begs them for more seasons they could continue to follow his character in the US. Also seeing Nate sitting at his coveted window seat in the Greek restaurant but now he's all sad and alone. Damn. |

Enjoyed Picard season 2. End was a bit weird but overall enjoyed it way more than the first season.
Was gonna wait until all of season 3 was out before watching it but watched the first episode. Was pretty sweet..... |

Liking it more than I thought.... so far. "Time travel" crap but with Q..... and in a way that so far, makes sense.
I'm 4 episodes in I think? Borg Queen just got her power back and they are looking for The Observer. I'm generally against time travel plots, as they invite lazy ass writing. I'm hopeful this continues the way it has. |

Ghosts (UK version) S1. Easy watching. Enjoyed it. Moved on to S2. Think the US version is pretty much a scene for scene remake but with slightly different ghosts.

Three episodes into Picard season 3... only one more out.... damn... I should have waited cause I don't want it to stop.
Blowing the first two seasons outta the water. Beverly Crusher has a serious case of melty-face going on though... actress def decided to not age gracefully.... |

I'm currently re-watching seasons 1 to 4 of Yellowstone, before starting the new season. Addictive shit, this show.
I've also watched all but the final episode of Tulsa King. This has also been a great show; Stallone is fantastic. Paramount should essentially just become the Taylor Sheridan Network. |
