I’m on a Seinfeld kick. It’s my show I just keep coming back to

    I’m working through Star Trek, watched TNG and DS9 and on Voyager now. I’ve always been aware of it but somehow never realized how good it is! Which is nice because now I feel like I discovered a treasure trove, there are so many shows and movies.

    Just watched Star Trek The Next Generation for the first time! Loved most of it…though it has some middling and really bad moments. About to watch all the TNG movies next!

        I watched the pilot episode…it was hard going from HD TNG to SD DS9. Maybe some time off and I’ll come back to it and not notice the quality difference!

          For both series, the first 2 seasons are kinda rough. Once they figured out what worked they really start to shine from S3 onward. Personally I hated the whole Bajoran arc on early DS9.

        Sure are. Mixed feelings about it, I think one of the reasons it’s so good is because they didn’t have a chance to milk it to death like the Simpsons

        Yeah I didn’t know that either wtf. They really shouldn’t do that. The final final final ep was SO good.

      I’ve never actually watched futurama. I’ve seen it a few times at my friends house but never payed it much attention

        First 4 seasons before the initial cancelation are gold.

        I’ve yet to finish all the ones that came after the cancelation but there’s definitely good stuff there too.

          They’re good, IMO. Season 5 is a bit different, but 6 and 7 feel familiar. They do a lot of parodies of other media. And if I remember right, the end of season 7 competes with some of the classic best episodes. Definitely worth the watch.

      I’ve really been digging this one. I was hoping they’d show what’s going on outside, but I’ve been really pleasantly surprised otherwise. And of course it’s way way too tempting to spoil it by looking up the books’ synopses.

      I’ve literally just started watching this tonight. Seems interesting so far, curious to see what they do with it.

    Taskmaster. 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

        Same 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.

          Absolutely. Season 2 of NZ is probably my favourite of all (including UK)

    Just finished Nathan for You, I don’t know how I never watched it before, it’s exactly my type of comedy.

    How 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

    Mr. Robot. I didn’t realize that they had added two more seasons since I last watched it. It’s been a great watch with all the big internet shifts lately.

      Fucking hell, you lucky bastard. I’d love to watch Twin Peaks for the first time again. So good.

    I’m about halfway through the first season of Fargo and I am really mad at myself that I waited this long to check it out. Great so far

      Such 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!

      So much rewatchability in one show, when I binged it the first time people caught me looking into the distance mid-conversation.
