Still working my way thru Superstore. On to season 3, and lol at the employee Sal being found in the drywall on the halloween episode.

Also, Dina has become marginally more likeable.

I’ve been rewatching 30 rock this last week and I forgot how funny this show is. Every episode has at least one all-time greatest level moment.

I've mentioned it before but I don't think there is another show that has more jokes per minute than 30 rock.

Just today I was rewatching the 'Apollo, Apollo' episode. Where Dennis shows off his new coffee business.

I said what I said.

I've never seen Hamilton, and I never heard of Linda Manuel Miranda before the Hamilton craze started.

Is he funny or something?

I haven't been watching The Stand on CBS but I just saw some promo pics for the latest episode. Are they really trying them in a court room?. I haven't read the book in a while but I don't remember that.

A random TV thing I stumbled upon today... Jim Beaver, the guy that plays Ellsworth on Deadwood, is pretty dang active on Quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/Jim-Beaver

Answering all sorts of random questions, mostly related to television and movies. It's funny seeing him talk about Deadwood, and how one of the actors refused to film their death scene so the character just kind of disappeared.

I think it was this thread talking about Renovation Realities on Discovery+.

Let me tell you, watching that premier a year ago, right as *gestures around* all of this was starting sure was A Thing.

I bet. I didn't realize it is created by the guy who did Veep. If it would have premiered a few months later it would have landed a much bigger presence with the quarantine crowd I think. Also, I love that unsettling theme music that plays when poo poo is going sideways.

Anyone else got any old perfectly-told-in-2-hours film they'd like turned into a needlessly long and drawn out 'prestige' TV series? Ferris Bueller's Day Off? They Live? After Hours? How about Trading Places, we could end the hour long pilot with Billy Ray bumping into Louis for the first time.

This fistfight scene that closes out episode 3 of The Knick is so gorgeous and stylised and it literally comes out of nowhere what the gently caress Soderbergh owns so much

Yeah, its a gorgeous show. I started watching it yesterday after all the recent chatter about it, and am really enjoying it. The material is heavy and I can see why it didn't attract a huge crowd of weekly viewers, especially with the first scene in the pilot.

Is this where I can ask for recommendations? My partner and I really enjoy two kinds of shows: weird/mystery box shows (Lost, X-Files, and Twin Peaks) and shows full of beautiful cinematography/music/Big Social Themes (My Brilliant Friend, The Young Pope, and High Maintenance).

We especially like shows if they manage to do both things (Utopia, Watchmen, and The Leftovers). Action can be fun (The Witcher and The Mandalorian), but that's less of a priority for us.

Suggestions for something new to watch?

Hannibal.

Catching up on Mr. Mayor and it was good until it hit the 6th episode, Respect in the Workplace and got really good. I hope it keeps at that level, because that was a great episode.

I gave up after 2 episodes. Might have to give it one more try...

I'm watching Avenue 5 again. I liked it the first time and it is so much better the second time around, most likely due to the whole last year being an extreme case of everyone only believing what they wanted to hear.

I discovered Avenue 5 a few weeks ago and loved it. It's now the show that I recommend to most people, being easy to binge and pretty on the nose with this pandemic. Also, that airlock scene is an absolute gem.


Parakeet vs. Phone posted:

If you'd got time, definitely give a later episode like "Respect in the Workplace" a try. It was the first episode I saw and it hooked me a lot more than I think the first episode or 2 would have after I went back and checked the rest of the series. It's just firing on all cylinders and it's not like there's a lot of backstory you need to know.

I'll give that episode a go.

I'm having a hard time not getting absolute sky-high expectations for the next season of A5.

I wonder if/how the season 2 plot points changed due to current events. The season 1 finale aired right when the pandemic started. The poo poo that occurred over the following 6-10 months could translate in to an entire season on its own.

Netflix is pushing The Witcher on my homepage. I remember watching it, and remember it being high in production value but I don't think I can tell you a single plot from the series. I know the Witcher, a witch, and a child. Can't remember how they all fit together.

Hopefully season 2 has a good intro for "Previously, on The Witcher..."

I used to really enjoy Superstore but never caught up with it after Mateo was arrested by ICE. Is it worth finishing?

Eh... I'm sure there are big fans of the show that would say yes. I thought the writing started falling off hard around that time, as a lot of shows do in the later seasons. If I'm being honest, I skimmed through a lot of the episodes in season 5 and most in season 6. I watched the finale just to see how they wrapped things up, and it was nice.
