What TV Series Are You Streaming Lately?

Yeah, the Gervais cringe is really something to behold.

Impossible to watch and impossible to look away all at the same time

I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t “get” Succession. It’s perfectly fine, and I do like it, but the plaudits it seems to do consistently receive blows my mind.
I think this may just be a side effect of growing up with entitled, spoiled cunts lol

I used to love Succession - but was a little bit underwhelmed by the 1st episode for the 3rd season. My issue at the moment with the show is they're simply replaying what we've seen before - Kendall is technically the underdog you should root for but is incredibly out of touch, Shivan is a wannabe player, Roman is a sniveling tool/creep, Greg is clumsy and clueless as usual, Logan is a turd. We'll see if anything particularly new happens as the season goes along. If nothing changes I'll give up on the show after the season wraps.

Those are some well-defined characters, it’s true. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, as long as the plot’s not too much of a retread.

Last night was essentially just people sitting around talking, but man was the dialogue sharp.

I’d still like to see a Tom and Greg spin-off.

I've watched the first season after seeing it pop up in my Netflix recommendations for a while. I like it so far; the base premise of time travel is handled reasonably logically and the character development is solid. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's good entertainment. I'd rate it a B, with the caveat that it could change with future seasons.

Updating this opinion on Travelers, since I've finished all three seasons. I really enjoyed it. The characters evolved realistically and there were some genuinely affecting storylines with real emotional weight. It wrapped up reasonably well, too, which is rare in a series. I'll bump it up to an A overall.

I liked S1, but stopped shortly after that- it's jarring with S2 starts off very differently.

Gave that Paul Rudd Living With Yourself vehicle a go the other night. Two episodes was all I could handle.

Yeah, the shift is a lot. I stopped watching after the first couple of episodes in S2, also. I went back to it after a month or two and tried again. I liked it better after the break.

Ghosts on BBC is solid. The American remake just came out and it’s not the same humor, but has some laughs.

I didn't think that one would make it over, but it's decent?

There is another BBC show called "Uncle" that I think you might like starring Nick Helm, if it's on BBC America??

He's best taken in small doses.

I just saw that Y: The Last Man was cancelled, right when it was shaping up into a better version of the comic.

The world needs more Diane Lane. Hopefully someone else will pick it up…

Watched episode 3 last night. Things are picking up! The episode strangely left me on edge at the end however - I say strange because I think I may have felt a little sorry for Kendall plus Shivan's anger was palpable. Serves them both right though. I also concur with Roman and Conrad keeping their collective noses clean.

One question how did Kendall get all those speakers/boomboxes into the building?

For those of you that might care, looks like they've just finished shooting for season 2 of Warrior Nun. No word yet on when it will be available, though.

I'm hoping they do some kind of inter-show tie in.

Just caught the first ep of this last night - Body Count: The Green River Killer.

Season 1 of this documentary series takes us on a journey through some of the most grizzly crimes committed. S1 is 4 eps, but 2 are from the same crime.

It basically outlines the crimes and hunt for the killer(s).

Nothing groundbreaking, but pretty good stuff.

4/5.
