Current TV, regardless the year

We started Battlestar.....if the cylons have a plan, it isn't kill all the humans, since they could have already......

I’ve watched it through twice. Very much enjoyed it

I think you'll love it.  Probably my favorite all time sci-fi series.  Great characters, fabulous world building, cunning narrative twists.   Just realize that it's probably half or a whole season too long.  And the ending was bashed, but I enjoyed it.

I was pretty okay with the ending but the third season kinda chapped my ass. I think too many gloss over that third season of boring-ass drama and then unfairly bash the end.

I liked the third season aside from the crappy stand-alone episodes.  In hind-sight, there's inconsistencies and far-fetchedness, but when I watched the plot and reveal unfold in real-time I was riveted.

the stand alone episodes bugged me too. Season 3 should have been about 8-10 episodes... but I suppose the deal was for a “full season” so it had to be 15 or whatever.

 

I still enjoyed it.

Anybody watch Yellowstone on the Paramount network? Season 2 ended in August, but I finally got around to bingeing it the last few nights. Great show!

My daughter was sick last week, so I encouraged her to just start watching some Little House on the Prairie episodes... We both are now addicted again. 

 

I'd binged that on DVDs a decade ago, so it's nice that it's on Amazon now.

 

Recently, I watched Season 3 of Atypical. I enjoyed that.

Mr. Robot dropped the best TV episode of the year on Monday... That show is legitimately great and under appreciated just like The Americans.

[PseudoSABR]

Expanse season 4 was underwhelming although still good.

 

The Witcher was very good.  I didn't think Henry Cavil could pull off Geralt, but he does.

Even my son that doesn't like fantasy much liked witcher

The critics are panning it for the lack of markers during time shifting, but the audience probably didn't care when things happened and add up the effect of it all even without knowing when..

I just started watching this after a co-worker suggested it several times over the course of a week or two.  I'm only 5-6 episodes into season 1 and it's really good.  Other than some obvious tokenism, it is really well done so far.

Sigh. We spent last year watching the first half of Battlestar.... And now it is no longer free with prime. I can pay to watch it, or watch "free" stuff.....

It looks like USA might have the first two seasons; maybe you can download their app and stream it from there?

 

BSG seems to rotate streaming services pretty regularly, it will be back on Netflix or Prime in the future I imagine.

We've seen teh first two....and the last two are on PRIME, but now you have to pay.....we'll probably just watch a bunch of included stuff, we'll see.

Watched recently:

 

 

Messiah on Netflix... thought it was really good.

 

You, Season 2 on Netflix... It was solid, but not as good as Season 1... though the last two episodes were interesting.

 

Saved by the Ball: The College Years... I think that was on Hulu... that was fun.

 

The Wonder Years... I'm currently watching that show from the late 80s/early 90s. Good stuff.

 

Recently I also re-watched all the Leah Remini: Scientology episodes. 

[Seth Stohs]

I watched the final season of The Ranch last night... anyone else seen it? Any thoughts?

Love it, but I'm not caught up to the final season.  Sam Elliot and Danny Masterson keep me laughing continuously.  I could see the show being on a loop in my garage some day when I'm an old grumpy dude.

Finished season 2 of Jack Ryan. Generally entertaining tv, if a bit more rambo than the early novels were......which isn't a surprise. 

[Musk21]

I'm in the midst of watching Shameless. 10th season just aired on Showtime, but the whole series is available on Netflix. Pretty funny, a little raunchy, very entertaining!

The second season was a huge letdown after the first season, which was all about research and finding the problem, not going in full Rambo and taking out an entire country by himself. The entire point of Jack Ryan is *not* to be a part of the action, as he left that world to be an analyst.

 

That analyst job is literally his character catalyst moment. He cares SO MUCH, which brings him into occasional action, but his actual purpose is to be the smartest person in the room and only take (mild) action after the system fails him.

I've decided over the years to just assume movies and books are different, and to not judge if they are close to each other in canon. I enjoy more things than I used to, because I don't put my expectations on them. To be clear, this is about judging things like this, not from one movie to another in a series.

 

That said, I'd have liked more analysis also. But that's not the show, so I'll just enjoy it for what it is.

 

Not saying my approach is right or not, it's just how I've changed over the years.

I generally agree but the show isn't thematically consistent between seasons and the approach in the first season was vastly superior to the second season. My wife and I really enjoyed the first season.

I agree......and I share your disappointment, but mine is mild.

agreed, loved the first, disappointed in the second.

 

I’m still willing to give a potential third season a shot. 2 wasn’t a huge letdown.

Saw the first episode of Picard; really enjoyed it.  Lots of callbacks to Next Generation that felt natural and not simply fan service.

I'm giving it six weeks or so, that way I can subscribe and binge for $7.

CBS is streaming the first episode of Picard for free on YouTube for a limited time.

 

Love the first episode. It's almost exactly what I wanted to see.
