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
Last Man on Earth

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

Nirvanna the band the show deserves more love. Season 2 was solid

It started out a little slow and uneven but AP Bio is v enjoyable now that the storylines involve more of the kids.
I pretty much love Glen Howerton in anything tho.

I've been looking for a reason to give AP Bio a chance.

Glen is the reason

or Glenn. However its spellec

Glenn is the reason for all. Still don’t think this is going to last tho

bad news, my wife can't stand Glenn Howerton

No it’s always sunny for you

I agree w/some of this piece because for me personally just watching 5 or 6 seasons of a "very good" or even sometimes a "great" show feels less like entertainment and more like a burden. The hype on every new streaming thing that drops and the availability of perfectly fine shows from around the world means the quantity of good shows might as well be endless and I'm never gonna keep up, barring staying up late at night watching episodes ad infinitum.

Not not watching Season 2 of Legion mind

Legion S2 is as imperative to me as breathing, choosing not to watch to “free up time” seems kinda ? to me

if you have things to do, children to raise, i get that

but i do not & i love filling my time with showd

groovypanda not otm, britannia is lots of fun imo

I may start a thread

Billions is back today (season premiere is tonight but it's already streaming if you get Showtime via Amazon and/or Hulu).

I couldn't make it past the first episode of Legion, but I'll try again sometime.

Shows I've quit: New Girl, Brooklyn 99, Sleepy Hollow, Alias Grace, Jane the Virgin, Treme, Togetherness, Cougartown...

I wanted to rage quit the last episode of Sherlock but I stupidly watched it till the end

I almost quit You're the Worst after the terrible third season, but then the 4th was the best so far imo

Same w legion. Almost turned it off instantly but finished the first ep. not going back.

Brooklyn 99 still delivers, imo.

And I had no idea Cougartown was still on.

Anyone else watching Counterpart? Thinking of starting a separate thread if there's interest...

I saw JK Rowling and parallel universes and sexy assassins as was like... maybe? Tell me more

Uh I mean JK Simmons

it’s a bit of a slow burn plot-wise but the character work is pretty decent. kind of sparse.

so far Barry seems like it might be ok, need more eps to decide

What’s with the legion hate? Sheesh

idk just wasnt for me. pretty sick of superhero stuff in general.

even superhero stuff by way of david lynch?

I thought Legion was interesting, but generally I find Noah Hawley's work a bit tropey and self-consciously "prestige", and it seemed like too much effort.

Although I also liked Westworld, so my opinion is meaningless.

Legion’s my favorite show in forever

my hatred of Legion and all things Hawley has been noted here before

right now I'm enjoying

Atlanta (easily the best thing on TV, by an embarrassing margin)
Magicians
Adventure Time (ending shortly!)
Superstore

tried to get into Counterpart, wasn't really working for me
