I’m on a Seinfeld kick. It’s my show I just keep coming back to
icesentry ( @icesentry@lemmyrs.org ) English8•1 year agoI started watching succession recently and I can’t stop watching these rich assholes
BlueDiamond ( @BlueDiamond@rammy.site ) English1•1 year agoI love to hate them. Toms my favorite hands down.
s0m3oNe ( @s0m3oNe@lemmy.ca ) English6•1 year agoTaskmaster. I don’t think any other show can make me legitimately laugh out loud so much
Woah that’s crazy! A while back I watched every single task master I could find on youtube. I liked it up until the last couple seasons where I felt it became too scripted… I’ve never met someone else who’s seen it
FeenisBoobicus ( @FeenisBoobicus@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoSame here. Honestly the first close to 10 seasons were amazing, but I think they started to run out of really great comedians, and like you mentioned the spontaneity that made it so amazing when it was new started to cannibalize itself with new contestants playing things up to match a comedy formula.
I guess all comedians try to be funny, but the latest series struck me as much less genuine and fun.
cyberic ( @cyberic@discuss.tchncs.de ) English2•1 year agoNew Zealand Taskmaster is also worth it if you haven’t seen it yet
s0m3oNe ( @s0m3oNe@lemmy.ca ) English2•1 year agoAbsolutely. Season 2 of NZ is probably my favourite of all (including UK)
jonkenator ( @jonkenator@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year agoReaching Ted Lasso.
running into woods ( @aaa@vlemmy.net ) English5•1 year agoTwin Peaks, watching it for the first time, great atmosphere
Hossenfeffer ( @Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk ) English2•1 year agoFucking hell, you lucky bastard. I’d love to watch Twin Peaks for the first time again. So good.
Clobberknock ( @Clobberknock@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoWife and I are working through scrubs again for maybe the 10th time. Rarely has a bad episode.
ringwraithfish ( @ringwraithfish@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoSuch a good show. Very rare for a show to have a really good solid 8 seasons, you usually start to see a decline in quality after season 4.
Season 9 was a spinoff and doesn’t count. You will never convince me otherwise!
BlueDiamond ( @BlueDiamond@rammy.site ) 1•1 year agoWhat season nine? 🤐
andrew ( @andrew@feddit.de ) 1•1 year agoSo much rewatchability in one show, when I binged it the first time people caught me looking into the distance mid-conversation.
NataliePortland ( @admin@thegarden.land ) English4•1 year agoHow come nobody ever told me Battlestar Galactica was so good? I’m on season 2. I love the stories I really love the casting choices (where did they find the actress for Starbuck she’s perfect) but one thing I could do without is the cinematography. Woof
HSL ( @hsl@wayfarershaven.eu ) English2•1 year agoOne of my all time favorite shows. Enjoy!
ModularTable ( @modulartable@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoI just started watching BSG for the first time and I’m amazed myself. I love Sci-Fi but never really thought to check it out before for whatever reason
jonkenator ( @jonkenator@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoSo Say We All!!
Nonameuser678 ( @Nonameuser678@aussie.zone ) English4•1 year agoLol I’m doing curb your enthusiasm right now
Fatbuddha ( @Fatbuddha@kbin.social ) 4•1 year agoGhosts (UK), highly enjoyable easy watch.
Freeman ( @freeman@lemmy.pub ) English4•1 year agoJust finished season 1 of slow horses. It’s solid and very British. I had to look up what the hell a y front was.
Hossenfeffer ( @Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk ) English2•1 year agoI read some of the books first, but Gary Oldman is so utterly, utterly perfect as Jackson Lamb that when I last read one I couldn’t help but hear Oldman’s voice whenever Lamb had. aline. The TV show is so well cast.
Freeman ( @freeman@lemmy.pub ) English3•1 year agoIts surprisingly good. My wife and I have watched shows together for years as a decompression method at the end of the day. Most times these days its limited to like 1 show a night.
Unfortunately I am usually tasked with finding new content when we end something. There are times where I or she loses interest and it just becomes something for either of us to watch in our spare time. But I try to keep that rare.
Our rule is 4 episodes before we did. This one…hoooked in the first episode. Got me for the disgusting fart humor (I didnt even recognize oldman), got her with the normal spy/cop/agent things she lies.
• milan • ( @Milan@feddit.nl ) English4•1 year agoI’ve just started watching Neon Genesis: Evangelion. 3 episodes in and I’m pretty confused why this is so highly regarded… I’ll watch a little more but if the quality continues like this I’ll just stop.
Faceman🇦🇺 ( @Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de ) English1•1 year agodefinitely not everyones cup of tea, it’s controversial for a reason. I still suggest people who aren’t getting into it to try to stick with it, because the payoff of watching the final episodes (which were famously so hated it led to death threats), followed immediately buy the end of evangelion film is worth it for the insanity of it all.
if you aren’t deeply into it and theorycrafting your way through it by episode 5 or so then you probably aren’t going to enjoy the rest. it does ramp up the crazy as it goes on but mostly it leaves things up to the viewer to come up with their own meaning of what it all means, which wont work for some.
If it doesn’t click, put it aside for a while then maybe try again by going down the path of the rebuild movies which are an alternate, condensed retelling that tends to be more accessible.
BlueDiamond ( @BlueDiamond@rammy.site ) English1•1 year agoHow’d it go?
I’m not into anime but that was on my “one of the greats so you have to watch it” list.
• milan • ( @Milan@feddit.nl ) English2•1 year agoI haven’t given up on it yet. My issue is that 90% of the anime so far is angst and melodrama. In my experience 90% of all anime is angst and melodrama so it shouldn’t be surprising, but people talk so highly about Evangelion saying it’s this transcendent experience and it’s just generic mecha anime so far. Except maybe with a dash more soft pedophilia.
BlueDiamond ( @BlueDiamond@rammy.site ) English1•1 year agoSoft pedophilia?!
erases off to be watched
variouslegumes ( @variouslegumes@reddthat.com ) English1•1 year agoI had a few friends who non stop talked about it. Finally watched it, same reaction as you.
The quality is actually going to tank near the end. They lost their budget and went off the deep end story wise.
Xiphorang ( @Xiphorang@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoCurrently binging Justified in preparation for the new one. I haven’t fully rewatched it since it first aired, and I’d forgotten just how awesome it is. I feel like it’s a show that got lots of critical praise but never really the viewership it deserved and has been somewhat forgotten, which is sad because it’s fantastic. So many awesome characters and so much wonderful writing.
ringwraithfish ( @ringwraithfish@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago“From” on MGM+. I’m not subscribed, but they have the first season on Amazon. It reminds me a lot of “Lost” with the mystery and trickling answers.
nomadic ( @nomadic@lemmy.one ) 1•1 year agoFantastic show. Season 2 keeps up the quality.
ModularTable ( @modulartable@beehaw.org ) English3•1 year agoI’ve been rewatching and binging Whose Line Is It Anyway (the U.S. version). I forgot what a masterpiece this show was. It’s an all time classic forsure!
Anyone else love this show or have any others they’d recommend?
BlueDiamond ( @BlueDiamond@rammy.site ) English2•1 year agoI LOVE that show, dude. No other show is guaranteed to make me giggle for 20 minutes straight. Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles are comedic geniuses.
ModularTable ( @modulartable@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago100% They work so well together–I don’t know how those two didn’t get their own movie or show or something!
Maolmi ( @Maolmi@feddit.de ) English3•1 year agoThe Bear. Saw it in one sitting. It’s really really great.
cjerrington ( @cjerrington@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoSome favorites and good ones to watch
- The Americans
- The Office
- White Collar
- yellow stone
- The Peripheral
nomadic ( @nomadic@lemmy.one ) 3•1 year agoThe Americans is my favorite all time show.
cjerrington ( @cjerrington@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoIt did have a pretty good storyline all the way through. There were some moments I thought could have been done slightly different but it’s still in a top 10 list when asked what is a favorite or watch again list.
