Your Ten Favorite Shows Currently on Television

posted on a torrent thread but: i'm thinking about cord cutting and would like to get on board with a good US TV torrent site if anyone has recommendations or invites...?
will also settle for guess papers, spare gmail accounts and/or YSI

Torlock works very well. A lot of the sites are blocked by the major ISPs though so you might need a mirror site. (And always advisable to have robust anti-virus protection in place before visiting torrent sites).

last episode of What We Do was the strongest yet by far. had to rewind the werewolf/vampire showdown just to watch it again. The wrinkle of Mark Proksch’s character really pulls the room together.

also pen15 is amazing. if you haven’t at least watched through the drum solo your opinion is invalid.

v glad that Lodge 49 is back in August. everyone should catch up on that one in time.

^ seconded. I’m going to rewatch it soon so all the threads are fresh. It has the most likeable characters I’ve seen in TV for a while and I can’t wait to see how it all develops.

Just watched the first episode of Ramy on Hulu. First of all, I'm immediately in the tank for any show that reveals the SHOCKING TRUTH that there's more to life in Jersey than Springsteen and the Sopranos, so the fact that the show's actually smart and funny as hell is just a bonus.

Really glad Bosch is back, too. And season 2 of Better Things just popped up on Hulu, so I'll be watching that, too.

Ramy is really good! Like surprisingly good!
What else goes to the top of the pile right now?
Veep, Barry, Patriot Act, Desus and Mero, Fleabag s2
To a lesser extent GoT, the fairly bad first round of the nba playoffs, last week tonight
i should probably be watching brockmire, killing eve, The New Negroes, Chernobyl, Gentlemen Jack
I suppose i should try Fosse/Verdon and What We Do in Shadows
Better Things has not been good, it's become a sort of watered down, self-satisfied Louie and that makes me sad.
I'm about to switch out to a cord cut set up for the first time in over a decade. Cable through ad-free hulu is $60 or so, Plex, Criterion, Mubi, Amazon Prime, Netflix, HBO, Showtime, PBS app... kinda feel like all my bases are covered but still feel weird about it. Can't necessarily see everything I want but I'm not really doing that anyway, so...

Currently watching Bosch and Game of Thrones thru Amazon, Billions and Ramy through Hulu. Didn’t like Killing Eve s1 (free on Hulu) enough to pay $20 for s2 on Amazon.

loving without reservation: GoT, Patriot Act, Fosse Verdon, new Project Runway, Riverdale, the Good Fight, Sabrina

totally stupid but I like it anyway: Gotham, Whiskey Cavalier (HATE the name. so much)

forget to watch but still enjoy: Man in the High Castle

maybe/meh: What We Do In The Shadows, Killing Eve

gave up/nope: Hannah, The Enemy Within

Hannah's no good, eh?

i didn’t like it
saoirse ronan made that character and this new girl just doesn’t get there imo

Bosch is good shit. It's got so much good L.A. location porn, and so many Wire actors doing good work. And 24 actors, too. The storylines are nicely ambitious for a cop show. S1 was a little rough in spots but it really picked things up in S2. I'm onto S3 now.

i need to go back to Bosch, i never did get caught up
- been watching old eps of Good Wife & Titus Welliver makes me feel a certain type of way

there's not a season 2 of Killing Eve yet, is there?

Oh right, there is. That was quick. It's not on over here yet.

I don't think PWB had any involvement with S2 as she was busy doing other stuff

re: Fosse/Verdon and What We Do in Shadows

ive tried both and the latter is fantastic, p much exactly what one would expect (with bonus Matt Berry!), and the former is good -- my gf loved it, and all that jazz is her fave movie

I'm loving WWDITS. I'm not necessarily sold on the location (although that was partially overcome last week with the story in Manhattan) but the cast is seriously strong and the addition of the new vampire types is inspired.

I Think You Should Leave on Netflix is excellent and just about 75 minutes for the whole season. These are not series! These are a special chopped up!

oh god the newest WWDITS guest stars

SO good

..and the baby!

Yeah. Didn't twig who Garrett was until he went on about stabbing.

Chernobyl is fucking crushing.

debating whether I need my existence destroyed this week by watching

I can’t see ever watching that, no matter how good it is.

cosigning WWDiTS, last week’s ep was so great

pushing Gentleman Jack on every thread i can still.

Anyone watching 1969 on ABC? It's a one hour news show that looks at events from that year in each episode. They've done Apollo 11, Manson, Ted Kennedy/Chappaquiddick, and last night the Black Panthers. Pretty watchable even though an hour still isn't enough to explore the themes.

Oh, is that an actual series? I flipped past the Manson one and the Chappaquiddick one and was wondering what the hell the deal was.

Seems to be, they've had 4 that I've seen now over the past month, and it may have started before that.

I have thought about I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson every single day since watching all six episodes in one sitting a month ago.

Is anyone else watching Fosse/Verdon? it is my favorite show right now, I love it so much.

season 3 of Colony (usa / Netflix) is pretty good (best season so far), but the show's dead / been cancelled

Really enjoyed Colony. It got better with every season.

And talking of Colonies, I see that Fox has cancelled The Passage too after just one season which is a shame as the books are great.

some enterprising individual created a focus group man soundboard: http://www.mfrederickson.com/ithinkyoushouldleave/

I’ve just finished bingeing Better Things, Dietland, almost done with You’re the Worst and s2 of Fleabag is up next. What else should I add to my list? I don’t have a tv so I watch everything on Hulu/prime/Netflix.

imo: Ramy(h), Nathan For You (h), Patriot Act (n), Joe Pera Talks With You (h), Catastrophe (a), Happy Valley (n), Russian Doll (n), Killing Eve s1 (h), American Vandal s1 (n), The End of the Fucking World (n), Bob and David (n), pen15 (h), The Bisexual (h), Shrill (h), Big Mouth (n), Search Party (h), Chewing Gum (n), Tuca and Bertie (n), I Think You Should Leave(n) , Crashing (n)... in roughly that order.

plenty more too but i think that should keep you for a minute!

this is pretty great for a first episode

haha yes

No offense but Chernobyl’s not that funny. Kind of don’t get the hype.

totally sold on this idea; famous people seem to get a huge kick out of meeting other famous people who have no idea who they are and it's fun to watch

yes! it’s so delightful

the first ep w James Van Der Beek was great

I tried watching Euphoria but stopped watching ten minutes in when it reached the part with the clowny 5 year-old white boy drug dealer Who's Been Through Shit

don't know how anyone continued watching after that

I finally went back to The Tick (after I saw it was cancelled) & am loving it. Feel like an idiot for dismissing it after the pilot ep :( It’s really enjoyable.

New season of Endeavour started up on PBS this week, def one of my current favorites

Big Little Lies new season is great so far

keen to watch Stumptown when it starts up
