TV: What Are You Watching?

[Hahma]

I watched both seasons of Love, Death and Robots on Netflix, which are a bunch of animated shorts (like 10-15 minutes each) that are each individual episodes and not linked. Different animation styles. Adult in nature for sure. I enjoyed most of them, as some were incredible and some were just ok.

Been watching The Bad Batch on Disney + . I'm really digging this animated Stars Wars series based on a special small unit of Clones, just as the Clone Wars concludes and they start their own story.

I watched season 1 of Marianne on Netflix, which is a horror themed series from France. It was really good, and I'm not generally a horror genre fan.

I'm on episode 6 of Ragnarok on Netflix. It's a Norwegian series which brings a new twist on Norse Mythology in the present day. I really like this show and am impressed by the quality of shows made in Europe. I've watched several European series and they have all been good.

Vikings returned to History Channel last night for the final 1/2 season of the series. Two episodes to get things started.

I watched the first season of Love, Death, & Robots back when it came out. I thought it was a bit hit an miss. Some episodes I really, really liked a lot, while others I found myself skipping over after 5 minutes of watching.

Vikings is back? I thought I'd have to wait for the DVDs. Thanks!

Just checked with Barnes & Noble, and the DVDs are not out yet; maybe after their History Channel run...

Just finished the premier of Loki, and I gotta say I'm super excited to see where this goes. Regarding its impact on the greater MCU, it'll likely effect further shows/films, but my main interest is in the main character. Without giving specific spoilers, I really feel this single episode did as much (or more!) to humble Loki as the handful of films he has appeared in.

Looking forward to Wednesdays!

I also enjoyed Loki and look forward to Wednesdays, as well as Fridays for The Bad Batch.

I've been watching The Queen's Gambit on netflix, I'm loving it so far. Just watched first episode of Loki too and am also really excited to see the show is heading!

We recently travelled across the country (weird to see the Pacific in the morning and the Atlantic that same day at night) and downloaded some Netflix shows. Stargate SG-1 is on there and is always great (my wife actually watches this way more than me), and we also enjoyed Middleditch and Schwartz, long form improv comedy from the actors behind Jean Rafeo (sp?) from Parks and Rec and the main guy in Silicon Valley.

Just caught up on the Arrowverse: Supergirl, Flash, and DC Legends. I'm not feeling them like I used to do; they seem to just be going through the motions, and I'm not bothering with any new ones. I think we all know how this last season of Supergirl will end--the future with the Legion and Mon-El.

I'm also cutting back on Marvel stuff in general, although I'd be up for Dr. Strange, Thor, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

And especially Eternals. They threw me a real curve when they made Angelique Jolie Thena instead of Sersi; (for which she would have been so perfect) but we'll see how that goes. If nothing else, it should be different, since I seem to be generally superheroed out!

I expect future Black Widow news to now come from SNL's Weekend Update...

I would check out Superman & Lois. It is very well done. I also really enjoyed Black Lightning. It is a very short run, so it paces pretty well.

I've been watching HBO's The Wire again this summer, a couple of episodes at a time. Just finished up season 4 this weekend, with one season left to go. I think I'd forgotten how good, good story telling could actually be. It is a little amusing watching the early introduction of that era's technology though. I think I'm going to watch Rome again once I finish. It's been quite a while since I last watched it.

[Hahma]

I'll have to check out The Wire.

I've been watching Schitt's Creek and love it. About 6 or so episodes into season 2.

Stranger Things. Season 3
Held off on this one knowing it would be forever for the next season.
They did a great job of representing the 80s. It all felt like a slow grind that was a bit too much like Slither for me. The ending was top notch though.
