Pretty sure they have not had a weekly gig in Chicago in at least a few years, though they are doing a couple of reunion gigs next month.

I kind of think that The OA is going to get some love? Even on ILX it's mostly a culty following but maybe it makes up for the sparseness with more enthusiasm?

No, Mr. Robot? (I've only seen the first 1 1/2 seasons so maybe it got bad)

Both of these were on my very short ballot and thusly heavily weighted, but I wouldn't put money on either showing up at this point, no.

As noted in the dedicated thread, Mr. Robot improved a great deal in the home stretch and stuck the landing both better than I ever would have expected and with greater skill than many other shows have managed. I was impressed.

still working through season 4 of mr robot, but it's been pretty solid so far.

i watched the first season, liked it, then forgot it existed though vague memories of it would insert themselves into my recollections of other shows, and I wouldn't remember where they came from.
― sarahell, Friday, 14 February 2020 19:13 (four years ago) link
How does this compare to the film (which I liked)

Would have voted Lodge 49 but only seen the first season

Two shows that I've realized over the past week that I forgot to nominate and possibly would have voted for:
Magic for Humans (a charming and funny Abso-lutely production featuring prestidigitation, which is usually not my thing but is totally my thing in this particular context)How to Get Away with Murder (a show I never in a million years would've ever thought to watch of my own volition or would've ever thought I'd like but got sucked all the way into last year, completely ludicrous and ott but hella addictive and Viola Davis is just magnificent all the time)
― Sammo Hazuki's Tago Mago Cantina (Old Lunch), Friday, 14 February 2020 19:16 (four years ago) link
re: shadows -- one of my bff's was telling me about it the last time we hung out, and said it was on par with the film, and that I should watch both, and gave me his hulu login so I could watch it. I haven't as yet watched it, but his summary made it sound great.
OMG -- why did I forget to nominate How to Get Away with Murder?!!!! That is one of my faves!

I am occasional buddies with the lead actor in How To Get Away With Murder /namedrop - he's a lovely and very erudite chap and I keep missing his plays because they sell out

Do you mean the lead actor who (ahem ahem, spoilers) is no longer a regular on the show?

very similar style of humor, with additional characters and depth.
the lead actors are all hilarious, especially matt berry, and funny in a way that's distinct from the original trio.

Will have to check out this Shadows thing then ty
― imago, Friday, 14 February 2020 19:22 (four years ago) link
Watchmen was one i voted for but i have a hard time being passionate about it, except that its treatment of racism in America was really, really well-done and therefore the final episode was satisfying, and the Hooded Justice episode was probably the peak. Lots of the rest seemed overly mannered and refined and while clever didn't really make me feel anything other than impressed at the clever machinations. The acting was excellent, as one would imagine with that cast.
― omar little, Friday, 14 February 2020 19:22 (four years ago) link
the vampire trial episode of wwdits is an obvious standout, but i also loved the escalating running gags about gabriel's accidental slaying abilities and nadja's endlessly reincarnated ex 'grigor'

Anyway, has forks dropped some sort of fake on us
― imago, Friday, 14 February 2020 19:24 (four years ago) link
probably would've voted watchmen higher if i liked the final episode more, but overall it was high quality. still pales in comparison to s2 and 3 of leftovers, but so do most things.
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Friday, 14 February 2020 19:25 (four years ago) link
I just finished Watchmen last month. A lot good about it. A lot meh about it.
If only we could get the schitt's creek cast to do a send up of Terrace House I would be in love.

xp to me tho i am not an old-lunchian type for whom bad endings sour the rest of the show for me

I am totally confused about "male lead" in the context of How to Get Away with Murder, because as I see it, there is a female lead, and the rest are supporting cast
― sarahell, Friday, 14 February 2020 19:27 (four years ago) link
Schitt's Creek should probably have its own thread. And it's one of the few shows i'd want to rewatch again since the characters are ones i'd miss when it's over.
― omar little, Friday, 14 February 2020 19:27 (four years ago) link
I agree except for the thing where it's ending in like six weeks or whatever. :(

Is Pimple Popper very popular? I liked watching it a lot on youtube. I assume most people are fascinated with that shit. I was watching that obesity autopsy video floating around last month while eating salt and vinegar wings.

As I mentioned after my bingewatch of the first season of Joe Pera, that show is something really special. Sui generis.

I bailed on Mr. Robot after the second season and again after the third season, but I guess I'm in a decent position to see how it recovers.
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Friday, 14 February 2020 19:31 (four years ago) link
Joe Pera is the best but I didn't vote for it because S1 was 2018 and we in the UK don't seem to have permission to view S2 yet

As for Schitt's Creek, it is the show which all of my early-teenage tutees have been recommending I see, which has probably hardened me against it a little unfairly. Will probably check it out now
