Your Ten Favorite Shows Currently on Television

The End of the Fucking World (on Netflix in the US) is well worth the trouble, though it flubs the landing and begins to wane and wobble in the last episode or two with the writing for the supporting cast.

in retrospect thought the end of the fucking world was trash

i was sold for the first four episodes are so; it lost its way around then. bears very little resemblance to the comic!

Anyone else watching Lovesick? So in love with this show right now

meeeeeeeee

i’m halfway through s3, binged the first 2 yesterday.
really loving it

makes me harken back to my first 2 share houses after uni (minus most of the romantic angst)

Dark ist gut! It's more like Lost than Stranger Things, though. But, you know, good Lost, not final season Lost.

Didn't realize it until recently, but "soap opera/thriller about intertwined families in a small town that is experiencing a supernatural/science-fictiony event" is kind of a not-uncommon genre, isn't it?

which is to say it kind of reminds me of the Leftovers, too.

Or Fortitude!

i think it's kinda cool that Grown-ish is kinda bad but still watchable in almost the EXACT same way that A Different World was.

the newest ep about the basketball player was kinda dumb & boring :(

First ep of The Chi did not hit expectations. Acting is generally good but the writing is superstandard and the plot had enough cliches to fit in on any episode of whatever law'n'order is these days. Willing to give it a few episodes to figure it out but my guess is this will more likely need a season or two to, um, properly season.

i thought the writing of the first episode of The Chi was good, especially the brother's speech at the funeral. There were some holes/implausibilities in the plot for sure.

it is mystifying to me that people like this is us

i agree

i watched 3 episodes waiting to not hate it & bailed.

i wonder if it's because sterling brown is so good? but that just makes me mad, like his talent is being thrown into a hole of poop.

xp i gave all credit to that funeral speech (which included him talking about how his dead 16 year old brother was a virgin) to jason mitchell, who was lifting the material up imo

no, the line about how this shit didn't even seem real rang deeply true to me. that actor is great, for sure.

and, regarding this is us, i adore mandy moore and still can't bring myself to watch it.

i love milo v, mandy & sterling, but they are def wasted. whole thing plays like a tin-eared, bad faith version of a Lifetime movie

i hate the Toby guy so much
SO much

i watched the this is us pilot and thought it was horrible. and I really liked Parenthood.

co-sign

i really wanted to love this is us to replace the Parenthood hole in my heart and i like a lot of the people on it but the tearjerk trolling is over the top even for melodrama. every episode has to end with some lump in throat moment. i didn't make it through the first season. which seemed endless.

i liked seeing jess and mandy in the flashbacks. that would have been a good show. cut out everyone else.

plus if you really think that major dad is gonna make me cry you got another thing coming and i am a diehard simon & simon fan so no hate or whatever.

yeah it def makes me appreciate Parenthood way more

ugh that shows tries to play so hard on cheesy emotions it's so corny.

the only character that is not insufferable is the second husband of the Mandy Moore character imo

Holy fuck at how bad Britannia manages to be.

Another co-sign on This is Us. I made it through two episodes. It's just misery porn where the money shot is "more suffering". Reminds of the Waking Dead. And my life, at times.

but my wife watches it and I like hanging out with her whenever I can so I sit through it and make jokes that drive her mad.

ugh that show is awful

lol i could not imagine you liking at all

but my wife watches it and I like hanging out with her whenever I can so I sit through it and make jokes that drive her mad.

lmao this is exactly my situation now. im usually watching a game on my computer when she watches it now so its on in the background and i just eye roll at her or make some lame joke about "why are they yelling and/or crying again?"

my gf watched it and she doesn't watch anything so i was like "ok i will give this award winning/nominated show a shot" and... yeah wow i am glad i am not the only one who isn't enjoying this is us. sterling k brown & mandy moore are great but the rest of the show i just awful. i however (so far) do not hate toby, he's one of the least grating parts of the show imo (yes he is grating but not in the ~same way~ so at least he's like... a breath of fresh air)

and you have to understand, i LOVE stuff like this. i am a Once & Again superfan. i will watch all these army wives. but this one is a wasted opportunity. plus, i hate the sister and the actor brother. and they have lots of plots.

AGREE

amazon cancelled One Mississippi which is bullshit

turns out they were only a mile from cancellation : /

i imagine they'll (or someone'll) give tig a new show that isn't ck produced

Sky Atlantic have started showing season three of Gomorrah in the UK

Anyone still watching Jane the Virgin? I really enjoyed the first season then lost patience at the start of the 2nd. But I want something escapist to watch that's not sci-fi or murder-y.

glad to see some SMILF love here, I finally watched this and it's great. Yeah dumb name but the cast and writing are great across the board.

i really like the comedy central dark workplace comedy "corporate." sometimes it's a little try-hard with the darkness but overall it's really funny and unique and looks better than every other comedy tv show.

Late heads up that Fox are repeating the first season of Legion from tonight (early hours) here in the UK

the shallow appeal of the Gomorrah series is simply escalating stylish gangster ultra-violence, and it isn't shy of killing main characters. And the gritty Naples urban squalor is beautiful. It is completely ridiculous, but I'm up for S3.

just finished S3 of Gomorrah. took a few eps to get going, establishing some new characters and such, but really ended strongly. The shots on this season were even more vast and beautiful, even the seemingly regular short meetings were at crazy locations and shot so perfectly. The location scout(s) for that show knocked it out of the park.

I’m currently engaged in a love affair with the latest season of The Detour.

it is better than i expected! i liked not loved the first 2 seasons but this one has been a hell of a surprise.

also all of the "it's the middle of the night" jokes are really for some reason tickling me EVERY time

The fishing boat ep was amazing

Superstore
Fresh Off the Boat
black-ish
The Magicians
Bojack Horseman
Brooklyn Nine-nine
Search Party
Riverdale
Good Place

Can we all agree that Russell Armstrong is the most annoying character on any tv show ever?
