What TV shows are you watching 2024/25?

The Fall of the House of Usher. Mike Flanagan produced limited series. Competent, contemporary/semi-woke horror. Only tangentially related to Poe.
Not as good as Midnight Mass but looking forward to more Flanagan productions. They definitely have a signature style - slow and restrained with good acting.

Seen Landman?

Not yet but I’m definitely interested

Slow Horses, Season 1

I’m up to the last episode. Gary Oldman’s character here is my spirit animal

I’m looking forward to ā€œBecoming Led Zeppelinā€ set for release on Netflix in early summer.

ANy of those on NF or MAX?

I don’t have MAX. Is NF Netflix?

Cowboy Bebop, Cobra Kai, Squid Game and a few others are on there.

Yes. :+1:

Ok , so very late to game but this will make @Icon very happy I’m sure, I have started watching season 1 of Supernatural.

So it’s the X-Files, pretty much? Way too much male gaze going on and a complete lack of feminism, ā€œGuys don’t like buff girls,ā€ And such comments in every show.

But monsters and muscle cars? Just what I need these days to rest the working parts of my brain. :joy:

Started watching Adolescence on Netflix, pretty sick so far.

Severance season 2. Started off slow, the ending was worth it.

The :leopard: Leopard. Very good Netflix remake on the old Sicilian aristocracy, the nouveau riche, sweaty pig love, and their struggles as the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies becomes part of Italy.

Is anyone watching that Netflix miniseries ā€˜Adolescence’? All I can say is I’m glad I’m not a kid in this day and age. Being in school in the 90s was bad enough, but with social media’s toxicity mixed in it seems x10 as bad.

Season 1 was intriguing. Season 2 made me feel like I was trapped in cubical hell, forced to stare at my navel for forty-five minutes at a time.

How about episode 10?

I’ve repeatedly heard it’s very well done, but it sounds too nightmarish for my taste.

Speaking of too nightmarish for my taste … I liked Season 1 a lot. Enjoyed Season 2 until Episode 7, ā€œChikhai Bardoā€, which was incredibly well done. But I found it so dispiritingly depressing and sad that I’ve taken a hard turn emotionally against the show. After that … the ending was fine, and once again incredible craft, but I’m no longer enthusiastic about it.

Overall, season 1 was way better. Same with a lot of series, though

I’ve heard and read quite a few responses along the lines of ā€œBut the sadness was there in Season 1 as well!ā€ Well, yeah, it was, but it wasn’t so overwhelming, and it was leavened with a lot of other fun stuff.

I dunno, for my current mood, I think Fallout has been my favourite show of the past couple of years. Post-apocalyptic weirdness that’s sometimes dark but doesn’t take itself too seriously. Then again, that was Season 1 only. Maybe Season 2 will also mostly abandon the weirdness and lean into the darkness.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve been wanting to watch this.

There are so many shows I’ve watched the first season of (sometimes the second season) and then lost interest in continuing. Either the gimmick (so many shows have a gimmick as their central premise nowadays) gets old, or the wait time between seasons (2-3 years) makes me forget everything that previously happened.
