the only eurovision song i know is this!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg ha ha ha ha anyway im watching ROME: EMPIRE WITHOUT LIMITS ![]() appears to be a BBC thing and the presenter is one MARY BEARD who is amazing! i didn’t know she existed until i saw her in this. all the explanations were great, etc., but i was most jealous of the apparently american archaeologist hunting for carthaginian war shipwrecks IN A FUCKING SUBMARINE. waaaah i want his job. |
Slambang, allow me to be my overbearing self for a moment and ask:
ARE YOU WATCHING THE FINAL SEASON OF THE AMERICANS AND IF NOT WHY? I got a few weeks behind thanks to endless goddamn work, so I’m catching up and WOW HOLY FUCKING WOW. Best show on television without question. Gonna be one hell of a last act. |

Americans would end well if we get to see Beeman die

Aw man. Kinda starting to agree. Lovable fellow is kind of a tricky bastard. |
Holy shit Legion is so good.
I’ve stoped watching everything except for the Americans, Legion, Westworld and Silicon Valley. Legion is the most intense of them all. But Americans is still the best. |
Americans is not avail on Hulu, or Netflix, and only the latest season is on Sling. dang.
My wife and I are 4 episodes into The Fear, a 4-part series from BBC 2012. About a mob boss that is experiencing alzheimer's related dementia. |
all of the americans except the last season is already on prime video

just started THE WONDERFUL MRS. MAISEL
![]() which starts great. when i was looking for a picture i found out it had won a peabody award. stars rachel brosnahan who plays a very key prostitute in house of cards if you guys remember. she’s great here! the show is funny. 60s period piece. i wonder if they repurposed the sets from good girls revolt. but this is better. |
Quote:
I wondered the same thing about Mad Men, and if sets/scenes were repurposed. I think the shows were both shot at some of the same locations, at any rate. Nice glimpse of bosom, too. ‘Twas good. I dissloke the kid who played her husband. He was the nephew on Rescue Me (great, horrifyingly bleak show), and I felt his “Jew” was a little too... ehh.. on the nose? Actually the whole show suffered from mining some Jewish streotypes in ways that made me ever so slightly nervous, but still... The main girl is great, and has a 180° different Energy than on HoC. She can act. |
Westworld’s getting pretty cray-cray.
Americans is ok tonight. |
im hooked on mrs maisel haaa haaaa haaaa
even been waking up thinking about it some days |
|
just in time to kick off the summer season, watched in a very quick way (only 3h total?) the whole of season 3 of RED OAKS.
it was only 6 episodes and it was the last season. not 10 episodes like before. damn, i’m gonna miss this show. ![]() still highly recommended for a bit of 80s-throwback summer fun. srsly you’ll want a lemonade or a gin rickey next to you. even though it’s not supertropical or anything. yes yes it’s a comedy and it’s well done. david gordon green and sodherberg at the helm, great directors on every episode and good writing/characters for most of its run. if you don’t mind a bit of spoiler (it’s not a suspense thing after all) here a critical appreciation http://www.vulture.com/2017/11/red-o...ated-show.html ^^ most of what they say is true,yeah. good soundtrack, directors, more than this, etc. |
Gurren Lagann!
|
I'll give Red Oaks a trial run. Looks like it has some potential
|
Decided to finish up a re-watch of GLOW in preparation of season 2 at the end of June.
So good, and to certain degrees, way better than the topic should allow, but what can I say, I'm a fan of prowrestling. |
Just started watching the last season of THE AMERICANS.
ima have to put severian on ignore till im done haaa haaaa haaaa ![]() see you in 9 or so episodes! :D |
Sort of working my way through Gilligan's Island. Some parts definitely don't hold up to current social norms.
|
Luke Cage season 2
|
^ it was meh.
PREACHER SEASON 3 STARTS TONIGHT! Woo! |
well that went by fast ha ha ha ha ha ha
mega-binge — i think i like the last episode best in recollection than when i was watching it but that great parking garage scene haaa haaa haaaa—the best |
watched episode 19 of Legion last night. quite the mindfuck
|

Yeah!! |
Preacher had started! Season 3 episode 1 was good. Closer to comics in terms of timelines and whatnot. But having Angelville act as the big second-to-last-season arc is a bit weird, since that part is done by the end of the first fifth of the comic timelines. Oh well. Love it. Good stuff.
ALSO... HBO has this show called “BARRY” about a hitman who takes an acting class. It’s just the kind of black comedy I love (see Fargo, Grosse Point Blanke, etc.) and Bill Hader is actually funny as hell. Not to mention the Fonz! Henry Winkler’s in it! And he’s hilarious! |
Great double episode of The Expanse to end this season. Ambiguous ending that could either lead to a 4th season (I hope) or end it. Pretty smart sci-fi, good writing, acting and with a lot of good special effects. One that the art dept had some fun with, I'm sure
plus, Cara Gee ![]() |
With GLOW season 2 available to stream, that's my focus for the next little while

Fucking love this. It's just easy but also really well done. I've actually yet to meet someone who doesn't like this. I was once an Alison Brie man, but now I'm a Betty Gilpin. Oh and Sam's daughter. Marone. |

Shower scene. |
Quote:
Whoah what?! YES! That’s what’s after I finish the (result fucking long for some reason) Westworld season 2 finale. (Maybe finale overall? We’re way past the Crighton book now it seems. But I guess we kinda started out way past the book.) YEAH GLOW!!! |
![]() Yes Minister My favourite sit-com of all time. Did it have any impact in the US? |
^^ first time i even hear of it and we watch a lot of british tv
will look it up & see — amazon rents it for 2 bucks per episode... but maybe they’ll add it to prime video at some point |
Quote:
Finished it last night. So, so good. Shower scene and Sam's daughter aside it's just been so good to watch. Nice bit of escapism. |

thanks |
found the actual episode 1 of yes minister on youtube
it was funny, but way too clever, by which i mean... that poor fucker getting henpecked to death lolol it’s too true! too real! it’s like... work!! so i can’t laugh completely—it leaves me a bitter feeling ha ha ha. i hate reality. kinda like trying to make “the wire” a comedy. very good! but o man. comedy winner is still father ted for me. i can laugh myself imbecile with that thing. yes yes, it’s not that smart and it can get repetitive but oh hell does it offer relief from... life, ha ha ha |
Haha. A comedy Wire. I like that.
I'd never made any connection before but I lknow what you mean. Just found out that The Wire is apparently Baracl O'Bama's favourite TV programme, whereas Yes Minister's was Margaret Thatcher's. Sort of make's sense. Anyway, it's all about Sir Humphrey. The gold-standard in cynicism. Makes Dame of Thrones seem idealistic. |
