What are you watching?

It's superhero-ish but that's my opinion

Spoiler:

I didn't like how they left the series hanging though, as I'm not confident it will have a second season

I did find it hard to get into and overall just random, like they're trying to pull different aspects of different series and combine them into one

It has a lot of similarities to superhero movies, but its not a super hero movie at all.

Yeah I'm getting more of a Hellboy vibe from it than a Titans.

I've just started "The Man in The High Castle". So far it's pretty slow and boring. I just finished episode 2, and I'll give it 2 more to get better.

Almost finished the umbrella academy

I’m wondering if Netflix is just throwing ideas at walls now and seeing what sticks, it’s such a random show

I haven't watched the show, but I read the comic. It was just as fucking random.

i just started The wire. Never seen it before. Checked out a bunch of best of all time shows websites. and its either 1 or 2 on like 5 lists.

[2Legit2Quit]

The wire is indeed awesome if you like good dialogue. Been meaning to rewatch it for a while now, but some may find it slow. Great characters.

The latest season of Z Nation came out on Netflix not long ago, finished it over the weekend and it was probably my least favorite out of all seasons so far.

Rolling through the first season of Ray Donovan, it is indeed good stuff after being told to watch it for many years haha

[Mitsu3000gt]

Started watching Sharp Objects based on several recommendations. First episode was VERY slow but I get they need to lay some groundwork. Does it pick up a bit?

I could never get into The Wire.. but if Oz or The Sopranos isn't on that list or you haven't seem them, those are definite watches.

Ray Donovan was good till around the 3rd season then it just got... weird.

I watched a documentary about flat earthers called "Behind the Curve" on Netflix. It really gives some insight into how these peoples minds work lurching from conspiracy to conspiracy. It's a bit too long, but there are some really interesting points when you can see a wedge of reality drive itself into their mindset, only to have it pushed back out. There are some experiments they design to prove the earth is flat, but then when it bears out that they're wrong you can see the internal struggle they have as they reject the data that doesn't match their conclusion.

Not sure what choice they have? They can't commit to a 4 season run of a show that nobody has seen the pilot of yet. So they pay to make one season, if it's a hit, they pick up and run with it, which is hard to do if you resolve everything at the end of the pilot season. If it's a dud, they can pull the plug on that semi cliffhang and nobody cares.

It's definitely not a top 2 in any way shape or form. But it's a good show that'll keep you busy for awhile.

Sure, I guess I’m not a fan of shows that build and build then end within a 15 minute window

Yeah I didn't think much of this show in particular from the get go. The last episode was especially terrible. Don't want to spoil anything, but it left you going "WTF, don't do that you stupid shit" a number of times.

Finished Umbrella Academy. Slow at spots but it proto-x-men vibe. I like the production more than the story.

And for the other time travel/parallel universe show, check out Russian Doll. It's groundhog day for hipsters.

Started watching "The First" with Sean Penn. Initial episode was good, hoping it stays this way. (it's slow though, a drama about space travel, not a sci-fi action show)

[brucebanner]

Just finished up seven seconds on Netflix with the wife. Meh.

Been rewatching breaking bad since I've been a night owl this week.

[Brent.ff]

Dirty John on netflix was pretty good, having listened to the podcast.

[Misterman]

Anyone else watch Titans yet? Watched the first episode, it was shit. Is it worth sticking it out? I know Umbrella academy had a terrible first episode but picked up later on.

Give Titans a chance.. it does pickup and gets better; not great... but good.

You have to give it at least 2 more. I wouldn't call it unreal or anything, but the more you watch the better it gets. For sure took at least 4 eps for me to get into it. Only reason I got so far into it was because I was travelling a ton for work so had extra time to kill in evenings/on planes.

The wire was good, but not as good as everyone said IMO. It was too heavy for me, kinda taxing to watch it.
