I’m working through Star Trek, watched TNG and DS9 and on Voyager now. I’ve always been aware of it but somehow never realized how good it is! Which is nice because now I feel like I discovered a treasure trove, there are so many shows and movies.

Just watched Star Trek The Next Generation for the first time! Loved most of it...though it has some middling and really bad moments. About to watch all the TNG movies next!
Not sure if you have watched DS9. It is just as good as TNG if not better.

Futurama! I'm not sure how the new season will be, but I know the old stuff is good.
they're bringing futurama back from the dead? again?
Sure are. Mixed feelings about it, I think one of the reasons it's so good is because they didn't have a chance to milk it to death like the Simpsons
Yeah I didn’t know that either wtf. They really shouldn’t do that. The final final final ep was SO good.
I've never actually watched futurama. I've seen it a few times at my friends house but never payed it much attention

Silo on Apple TV+.
I've really been digging this one. I was hoping they'd show what's going on outside, but I've been really pleasantly surprised otherwise. And of course it's way way too tempting to spoil it by looking up the books' synopses.

Taskmaster. I don't think any other show can make me legitimately laugh out loud so much
Woah that's crazy! A while back I watched every single task master I could find on youtube. I liked it up until the last couple seasons where I felt it became too scripted... I've never met someone else who's seen it

Just finished Nathan for You, I don't know how I never watched it before, it's exactly my type of comedy.
How come nobody ever told me Battlestar Galactica was so good? I’m on season 2. I love the stories I really love the casting choices (where did they find the actress for Starbuck she’s perfect) but one thing I could do without is the cinematography. Woof

Mr. Robot. I didn't realize that they had added two more seasons since I last watched it. It's been a great watch with all the big internet shifts lately.
Twin Peaks, watching it for the first time, great atmosphere
Fucking hell, you lucky bastard. I'd love to watch Twin Peaks for the first time again. So good.
I'm about halfway through the first season of Fargo and I am really mad at myself that I waited this long to check it out. Great so far
Reaching Ted Lasso.
Wife and I are working through scrubs again for maybe the 10th time. Rarely has a bad episode.
Such a good show. Very rare for a show to have a really good solid 8 seasons, you usually start to see a decline in quality after season 4.
Season 9 was a spinoff and doesn't count. You will never convince me otherwise!

The Bear. Saw it in one sitting. It's really really great.
I've just started watching Neon Genesis: Evangelion. 3 episodes in and I'm pretty confused why this is so highly regarded... I'll watch a little more but if the quality continues like this I'll just stop.

Currently binging Justified in preparation for the new one. I haven't fully rewatched it since it first aired, and I'd forgotten just how awesome it is. I feel like it's a show that got lots of critical praise but never really the viewership it deserved and has been somewhat forgotten, which is sad because it's fantastic. So many awesome characters and so much wonderful writing.
Taskmaster. It's so stupid but I crack up every episode.
Just finished The Last Kingdom. I recommend Black Sails, Turn: Washington's Spies and The Expanse.
Expanse may be the best show I've ever seen. Might be time for a 3rd rewatch.
I was really enjoying The Last Kingdom, but just kind of stopped... Don't even remember why.
The Expanse is probably my favorite; certainly one of my top 5. Like every fan, I recommend reading the books. They moved their subreddit to Mastodon.
TLK can get a little repetitive and characters make obviousy bad decisions, but when you get to the end, the story comes together as a whole. Overall, its a good show.

Lol I'm doing curb your enthusiasm right now
Just finished season 1 of slow horses. It’s solid and very British. I had to look up what the hell a y front was.
I read some of the books first, but Gary Oldman is so utterly, utterly perfect as Jackson Lamb that when I last read one I couldn't help but hear Oldman's voice whenever Lamb had. aline. The TV show is so well cast.
Its surprisingly good. My wife and I have watched shows together for years as a decompression method at the end of the day. Most times these days its limited to like 1 show a night.
Unfortunately I am usually tasked with finding new content when we end something. There are times where I or she loses interest and it just becomes something for either of us to watch in our spare time. But I try to keep that rare.
Our rule is 4 episodes before we did. This one....hoooked in the first episode. Got me for the disgusting fart humor (I didnt even recognize oldman), got her with the normal spy/cop/agent things she lies.
The Great on Hulu is shockingly entertaining. My wife started watching it because she enjoys that mildly anachronistic and gorgeous/well produced trend lately and it sucked me in way more than I'd have expected.
Ghosts (UK), highly enjoyable easy watch.
Just finishing up Stargate: Universe. What a trip!
Some favorites and good ones to watch
- The Americans
- The Office
- White Collar
- yellow stone
- The Peripheral
"From" on MGM+. I'm not subscribed, but they have the first season on Amazon. It reminds me a lot of "Lost" with the mystery and trickling answers.

Modern Family!
I'm already scared for my life once I finish it. The post-show depression will definitely hit a little harder this time.

I've been rewatching and binging Whose Line Is It Anyway (the U.S. version). I forgot what a masterpiece this show was. It's an all time classic forsure!
Anyone else love this show or have any others they'd recommend?

Rewatching The Haunting Of Hill House, finished episode 3.
After every episode, I also like to read about the episode recap online for details that I may have missed while watching..
We just finished The Diplomat S1 - I thought it was quite good!
Currently? Game changer on dropout, but recently I finished The Good Place and that's one of my favorite shows now
Edit: Also jet lag: the game on youtube! Very fun show
