Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

I started watching A Series of Unfortunate Events out of curiosity as I never read any of the books, but I soon grew bored with it and didn't even finish the first episode before deciding I'd rather be watching something else. I agree that Neil Patrick Harris was the best part of what I saw of it though.

Ended up moving over to the Netflix original Travelers. About half way through the season now and while I wouldn't describe it as must watch TV it has been entertaining and engaging enough for me to keep watching another episode.

Also wanted to mention the Netflix original show the OA. Watched it a few weeks back and became really interested in the premise through the first 7? episodes, but then the last episode took such a bad turn that it ruined everything that came before it. They should have just stayed on the path they were on, it was much more interesting and would have had me hooked for seasons to come.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

I really liked the Series of Unfortunate Events books, one of my favorites as a kid. The Netflix show is pretty decent for what it is. I don't think a lot of the humor translates that well to the screen. The quirkiness is definitely there in the books, but it's hearing the words come out of a character's mouth that makes it a little more jarring.

I thought NPH was okay. I enjoyed him a lot more when he was Olaf in disguise than when he was just Olaf. The rest of his theater troupe is super fun though, I love how those characters got fleshed out. The kids' acting can be a little weak at times but I think that's to be expected, I didn't think it was that much worse from other shows.

Overall I think it's a fun look back into that great story. I'm excited for the next season.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

Speaking of Netflix, that's my source for The 100. The third season appeared there a few weeks ago and I just finished it last night.

I really, really like that show. The plot of the third season had some soft spots that I think were lacking in the first two, but a couple of the characters are so compelling that it was pretty easy for me to get drawn in again. I'm glad it was renewed for a fourth.

I've skipped on it because I was underwhelmed by the book. I'll have to give it a try.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

I don't know anything about the book but the character of Clarke is one of the most compelling female leads I've ever seen on tv. Strong and feminine without a hint of ingenue or mock masculinity. I have little interest in dystopian fiction in general but I love this show.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

@Dad_Scaper . Me and my wife have enjoyed the 100 as well and are caught up with what is available on netflix. A series of unfortunate events is decent and we watched it but only because everything else we'd been watching hasn't got any new episodes.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

Oh, good! I've wondered with that show whether it's a guilty pleasure or something that I am supposed to announce with pride. Well, I'm encouraged now to be proud.

Finished the latest season of Always Sunny added to Netflix. Overall another solid season. Being Frank will be a new classic episode.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

So, since The 100 I've been casting around for something interesting. I'd read that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was good, so I gave it a shot.

This show is unlike anything else on television. It's a comedy with awkward, cringe-y moments. If that type of thing appeals to you, then have a look at episode 1 on Netflix. It's difficult to describe beyond that, without unreasonably throwing expectations all over the place. It is an unusual show.

I'm also watching Santa Clarita Diet with my son. It's clever. It's a tricky show to get right, because it is (I think? At least partly?) a satire of shows like Modern Family, which are themselves satire. But it's working for us so far, 4 or 5 episodes in.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

Hah weird, I was a huge fan of the Series of Unfortunate events book, and thought the show was absolutely perfect. I simply can't wait for more. NPH nailed Olaf, too. And I love the character of Lenomy Snicket, his dry humor was the cherry on top.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

Finished Luke Cage. Good but my least favorite so far as Marvel Netflix goes.
I felt like it fizzled at the end.
Looking forward to Iron Fist, Punisher and Defenders.
