I actually liked it despite all of its flaws. That said I have never watched any other Torchwood season or an episode of Dr. Who. So I was a little confused about some things, but it did work fine as a stand-alone.

I watched the first season of Lucifer when it aired. Can I jump ahead to a later season or should I slog through it all?

Seasons 2 and 3 add quite a bit to the overall story I think. I'm sure someone has a list of the "important" episodes, but I'd watch them on your second monitor or while on a treadmill or something.

edit: I haven't seen the Netflix seasons, but now I've just found my parent's password and I'm going to give it a whirl.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Finished S4 of Bojack Horseman. I found the dementia episode to be uniquely hard to watch, everything about it was absolutely terrifying. This show has a great ability to transition seamlessly between the tragic and absurd.

I really wish Netflix would adjust their 3-episode “are you still watching” thing. That’s fine for hourlong episodes but for short stuff it really sucks. The PS4 controller has poo poo battery life so I usually like to turn it off (and the triggers like to suddenly fast forward poo poo with little provocation) so it’s annoying having to turn the controller back on every hour to hit “still here”.

Yeah I like it quite a bit. The supporting characters are all good too, especially Juno Temple and her lovely boyfriend. I didn’t notice until this week that it’s a Bill Lawrence joint, which explains a lot.

It's the first time I've seen Juno Temple do comedy and she's not bad. I keep visualizing her playing southern white trash characters like in Killer Joe and whatever she did in Vinyl

e: I can't believe it but the Snyder cut is really coming

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
Taking advantage of lockdown to watch big TV shows I missed the first time around, and right now I'm on Breaking Bad. I'm halfway through season two and holy gently caress I just want Walt to tell Skylar what he's doing, god this creeping around is so tedious. Also, Walt sucks and I can't wait for him to fail. My only hope is that he doesn't drag Jesse down with him; Jesse is the best. Incidentally, I have seen all of Bojack Horseman and played FFVII Remake, so I'm still transitioning to thinking of Aaron Paul as Jesse instead of Todd and Matt Jones as Badger instead of Wedge.

Wait comedy central is going animation only? What about stand-up specials, are comedians just hosed?

Producing animation right now's probably a far safer bet than dealing with the requirements for producing live-action television with COVID hanging over everyone's heads. I imagine what would've normally been even a relatively-cheap live-action show to produce like Tosh.0 is now fraught with logistical hurdles to keep everyone safe.

Obviously Alan Gregory but that is kind of in its own category of terrible and can't really be compared.

About the same as Brickleberry or Paradise PD. Hoops has all of the edgelord crass of F is For Family (eg: every third word is gently caress! The main character tries to buy a prostitute for a tall 16 year old to get him to play basketball!) without any of the heart that kept me watching F is For Family

Finally watching Atlanta and it's really good. I like how Glover manages to mix comedy and horror. Like in the VanDrake episode there's this constant feeling that something bad is gonna happen (the bus driver jokes about abducting them).

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Which episode was that? I loved the show but I've forgotten so much

Ted Lasso is a fun and pleasant show. Jason Sudeikis plays an ignorant American coaching a prestige soccer team in England but he's not an idiot like the trailer looks. He's basically playing the male version of Leslie Knope.

Just based on the premise is it basically "Major League: Soccer Edition"?

They air a show about young women trying to negotiate feminism and fashion, while balancing their personal and professional lives. If anything, a show about social distancing is too modern for them.
