Hughmoris posted:Anyone watch Catastrophe on Amazon? Is that a show worth getting in to? I recently wrapped up Brooklyn Nine Nine, Upload, and Superstore. Need something new to get in to. My wife and I both enjoyed binging the series, maybe two years ago. Sometimes it gets loving brutal, but it's consistently funny, and both leads are likable. Rob Delaney is a very cool dude on Twitter, too.

sticklefifer posted:I think the only "problem" I have with Watchmen is that it's really hard to recommend to someone who hasn't read the source material. It does its own thing, but large swaths of it just wouldn't make sense otherwise. They'd either have to invest the time to read 12 issues of a 1986 comic book series, or watch a just-OK movie adaptation with a really truncated version of events and a different ending. A catch-up special or "episode zero" airing before the show would've been a good idea. I even had to look up a refresher because it had been years since I'd read it. My wife never read the comic or saw the movie, and even though she was really skeptical, even after the first episode, she ended up really loving the TV show and understanding everything set out and referred to within the show.

GreenNight posted:https://www.darkhorizons.com/bosch-to-get-a-spin-off-series/ Great news! This makes me unbelievably happy. Bosch is one of my favorite shows hardly anyone watches, and one of the best cop/detective shows ever.

False posted:Is Black Monday worth investing in? Really liked the first episode (aside from the Girls guy being pretty bad) but feel like I never heard any buzz about it. I loved both seasons of Black Monday. So funny (lots of clever banter and wordplay, which makes sense from David Caspe, who brought us Happy Endings), but it's also full of audacious twists and turns. I highly recommend it and encourage you to keep watching.

EL BROMANCE posted:All I can say is, the female lead needs to play Britney in something (in a Pro-Britney thing I’d hope). Annaleigh Ashford, right? I haven't seen the show because it looks terrible, but she's drat delightful. I first discovered her as the comic relief receptionist on Showtime's Masters of Sex, and most recently saw her in John Mulaney's Sack Lunch Bunch special, but she's primarily a Broadway actress and a singer.

Davros1 posted:RIP Markie Post. I honestly thought Marsha Warfield had passed! But I loved Night Court so much as a kid. It was on during late elementary school and middle school for me, when my tastes and my sense of humor were really developing. I watched it in secret because we weren't a big sitcom-watching family, and I knew my mom would disapprove of the raunchy humor and sexual situations. Night Court made me feel very sophisticated and mature, and after all that, I ended up in the legal field! But I was crushed when Harry Anderson died, saddened by Charles Robinson, and crushed now too, especially since Markie Post was my late '80s/early '90s crush, right before I discovered Jennifer Connelly.

Rhyno posted:This is everyone aged 35 to 45s story. 43, and I concur. Between The Rocketeer, Career Opportunities, and Dark City a few years later (where she is arguably even MORE beautiful), she was one of my two '90s celebrity crushes. And she's still glorious on Snowpiercer today, even when she isn't all glammed up.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:How many episodes should I give person if interest? I like the concept but the first couple haven't really grabbed me I was skeptical because Person of Interest seemed like a generic "dad show" until I got to Season 1, episode 7. That's when I knew things were going to get really interesting, and they did. I think the next couple dragged after that, but at some point between episodes 10 and 12, it started ramping up and becoming the good show it eventually became.

I love '80s and '90s hip hop and the Wu-Tang Clan, but I binged the first season and plan to binge the second. The first season was terrific, but it was definitely a slow burn, and I can't imagine watching it week to week.

feedmyleg posted:What are some shows that nail the feeling of a classic pulpy men's action paperback? Hap and Leonard comes to mind, and I'm eyeing Quarry. Banshee. 100%, that's a perfect way to describe it. Jett too, despite having a female protagonist. And Warrior, and my dad would definitely recommend Strike Back (the only one I haven't seen myself). Hey, those are all Cinemax shows! Hap and Leonard has been on my short list of shows to watch for years, and I've just never gotten around to it.

Is Quarry available on HBO Max? I let our subscription lapse again, but I'll probably resubscribe when Peacemaker is almost over and ready to binge. I had it for a month over the summer, when I binged Warrior and Jett.

Combat Pretzel posted:I started watching the Lethal Weapon TV show, since it just showed up here on Primevideo. Eventually I noticed on IMDB that the two main characters have quite a different amount of episodes credited to them. I went to google around some. Sure seemed like a huge shitshow behind the scenes. I guess there's no need to keep watching. It was a fun show. I liked it a lot, and so did my wife, who isn't usually the biggest action fan.

Hughmoris posted:What if he can smell crime? This is a thing: THE SNIFFER. https://film.ua/en/distribution/projects/219 quote:They call him The Sniffer. He's the proud owner of an extraordinarily acute sense of smell. He can detect things about you that you desperately want to conceal. He'll find that needle in the haystack. Don't ever doubt his extraordinary skills! But the truth is that his sense of smell is as much a curse as it is a gift. This guy can solve a mystery by having a single sniff around but what happens when all these myriads of smells force their way into his private life? Let's just put it this way – he’s not exactly a happy camper.

Person of Interest starts out as a generic network procedural, very much like a "dad show," before becoming more serialized, twisty, and sci-fi. Would she like LOST?

We just watched the five episodes over the last two nights. My wife loves it, because she went to kind of an elite liberal arts college and never felt like she fit in there... and now she's a professor there. So she really relates to the setting. I don't find it terribly funny (never was a big Mindy Kaling fan), but I haven't tapped out yet. It feels like an NBC sitcom, except with cursing, nudity, sex, and general raunchiness.
