Flayer posted:I just finished watching Mad Dogs (Amazon Prime original). The set-up is 4 friends go visit their college buddy in Belize, who is living "the dream" in a massive villa on the coast. Of course poo poo happens and the series follows the adventures of the group of friends as they try to survive. There are random plot twists and new characters introduced and dismissed throughout the series, which gives it a little bit of a video game air, but it's a pretty fun watch. Nothing too serious but a good background show to sometimes fully dip into. The main criticism I have for it is that it's a no hero show, you won't be rooting for anyone particularly except maybe some side characters. coyo7e posted:I liked this one too, apparently no second season. Not sure where it would've gone except into not the zany bachelor-party romp it began as. If you can get your hands on it you really should watch the British Sky1 original version of Mad Dogs, which aired 2011-2014. The Amazon Prime version is pretty much a direct copy of the original but with different actors and a slightly different, abbreviated story/location. The original was set in Mallorca and Spain. I enjoyed it a lot better than the Amazon knock-off (calling it an Amazon Prime "Original" is a real stretch).

Schitt's Creek has been getting a lot of play around here lately, and when we need a break we've been rewatching Bored to Death. I watched it while it was coming out but smoked too much weed at that time to be able to remember any of it now, so it's great to re-experience it. Ted Danson is hilarious whether or not you're sober.

Elias_Maluco posted:Not to spoil your expectations , but personally I found that it starts to get boring after season 3. Its like, the show starts going in circles, like they cant find anything new to say. For ex none of what you mention has great consequences, nothing changes. Yeah I made the mistake of binging seasons 1-4 straight through and now I'm pretty burned out on that show. It gets pretty repetitive and ridiculous after a while.

Finished binging through Big Little Lies, and I must say it was a good ride. The wrap-up/end of the season left a bit to be desired and I can’t tell if that’s to leave it open for more seasons or just sloppy writing, but as a whole it really is a top notch show.

Unzip and Attack posted:The commune only did this after the town tried to have them dis-incorporated. Them "taking over" the town was a legit defensive move- they wanted to have enough votes to prevent being shut down. They had no interest in the local politics until the bigots tried to force them out. And I'm sorry but in America no one has the right to be "left alone" anywhere except on their own land. A bunch of old white racists don't get to just declare their entire county off limits to people different from themselves. I thought it was that the commune wanted to incorporate but wasn't allowed to by the state of Oregon because of their religious background. So the commune decided to say gently caress you Oregon by taking over their neighbor town, which was already incorporated. Ed- but to keep this derail on topic, Wild Wild Country is totally worth the binge.

For me Disenchantment was very... disenchanting, really. A few decent one-liners sprinkled here and there didn't make up for the lack of laughs and character chemistry throughout the rest.

I liked that half the actors in Travelers were in Continuum (is there a designated Canadian time travel acting troupe?), which made it feel a bit like an alternate universe spin-off at times.

I didn't like Solar Opposites at all, but then again I'm not much of a Rick & Morty fan, either, and it felt like a pretty lazy copy off that block.

Mrs. Bojangles and I both hated the 3rd season of AP Bio, it's either your jam or not at all. We enjoyed the first two seasons, though. They didn't have anywhere to go after the second season, so it felt like they just threw everything at the wall hoping something, anything, would stick.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:I binged Mad Men for the first time back in the Winter and absolutely loved it from start to finish so I was naturally recommended to check out Halt and Catch Fire which I finally am. And I’m halfway through season 2 and I just don’t think I’m into it? Idk why, it feels like a perfectly serviceable show, but it hasn’t hooked me. I wasn't all that into it either but I know a lot of people love it, so to each their own I guess. I found the characters and their personalities more annoying than interesting.

Oenis posted:Bit of a meta question here, but is there a decent blog, website, Youtube channel or something with like general recommendations, ratings or reviews of new series on all the streaming services? I mean yeah there's tons of cheaply made content aggretion sites that just drop a whole unfiltered list for each streaming service, but that's not what I'm looking for. This thread is great for discovering stuff, but it feels like there ought to be more than word of mouth for filtering through the mediocre stuff these days. I follow the AV Club on my RSS feed for this.

I read recently in Hollywood Reporter some commentary that a lot of studios went overboard in spending when the COVID lockdowns & limitations were lifted, and are now at the hangover stage having to can a lot more stuff than usual. Inflation/etc no help, either.

Stegosnaurlax posted:My buddy can't watch it, too many people that act like the people who bullied him in high school. Same here, Letterkenny and that style of humor is the side of my middle and high school experience I’d much rather not experience again, even just for laffs. Once was plenty more than enough tyvm. But back on topic, I’ve been forced to repeat-binge Hey Duggee by my 4yo and have enjoyed it. It’s not quite Bluey-level writing but it’s consistently engaging wholesome fun for both my son and me.
