Jaysin Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Finished the Witcher and Venture Bros. Now I’m watching Into the Badlands. Love the fight scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Into the Badlands is freaking great. Quinn is one of the best tv villains ever. So evil and well acted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Finished The Witcher. The first TV show my wife has actually wanted to binge watch. Usually she's a one-episode-a-night person, tops. I'm not sure I can call it 'great', but I found it fun and watchable... albeit with a lot of nitpicks. Mostly, I just wanted more Geralt. Felt like he was barely in some episodes. Would have loved a lot more of him and a lot less Ciri. She was boring. Yennifer was cool... but I found some choices of what to show and what to tell in her life really odd. Never saw her ambitions, just told about it in hindsight. Loved how the show played with time. Really redeemed what I thought was a dull first episode. I genuinely suggested turning the show off moments before all hell broke loose and they blew their stunt choreography budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually reshot the pilot last, recasting some minor characters and redoing the fight scene with new a choreographer beause Cavill and some others weren't happy with it. Hopefully they maintain that quality next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Season 3 of Into the Badlands is insane. Pilgrim is a great villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Almost finished The Boys S1. It's a fantastic deconstruction of superheroes and the classic convention that they follow a moral code. Love the cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullMETAL Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I thoroughly enjoyed the finale to DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths, and if they're gonna go forward with "Lex Luthor occasionally helps the good guys to further his own nefarious plans" like they implied at the beginning of the Legends episode, I am 100% on board with that.

Jaysin Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Finished Crisis on Infinite Earths last night. Very enjoyable. The shadow demons were lame though. Interested where they go with the reboot of the CWverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Started Raising Dion. Very good! Episode 1 made me cry twice. Very interesting premise with a good cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 There’s a twist in the second to last episode of Raising Dion that I did not see coming. Highly recommend it. Very good I’ve also been watching a couple episodes of the Simpsons before bed. So far I’ve made it to season 3. So enjoyable and it fills me with so much nostalgia. I’m undecided if I’ll stick around past season 10 when it goes down hill, but so far it’s been a treat walking down memory lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milamber Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Oh yes, the finale of The Good Place hit all the right notes for me. A little heartbreaking but mostly uplifting. I fell like they did justice to all the character arcs. Just marathoned Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet and it's my new favorite comedy. Reminded me of The Guild S6 but with a bigger budget. It's funny but they also pay attention to the character arcs. Love the cast. Rob Mcelhenney is great as expected but for me Charlotte Nicdao steals the show as Poppy.

Jaysin Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Finished Veronica Mars and started Stumptown. Really enjoying it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Officially caught up on Stumptown. It's so good. Cobie Smulders and Jake Johnson are amazing. I thought it'd be hard to see them as characters other than Robin Scherbatsky(How I Met Your Mother) and Nick Miller(New Girl), but they knock it out of the park here. Can't wait for the next episode to drop this week. Started Party Down last night and it's pretty funny. Great cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Finished Party Down. It's a shame it only lasted two seasons. It was really starting to find it's groove by the end. Decided to give Lego Masters a shot. Not really a realty tv fan, but I love Will Arnett. Pretty fun concept even if some of the contestants are insufferable.

Jaysin Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Finally got Netflix again and started Castlevania from the beginning since it’s been almost 3 years since i saw season 1. So dang good. Hopefully season 2 and 3 are as good as season 1z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Euphoria - Crazy show. Lots of nudity and drugs. Soundtrack was amazing. Liked Zendaya's performance. Scissor Seven - I don't normally watch anime but it popped up on Netflix and I gave it a shot. Lots of cool characters, comedy and action but also heart. Short episodes so it's easy to marathon. I can't get the closing credits song out of my head. I'm in love with this show and recommend it highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sco xY2Jx Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 <p>The wife and I are currently in the midst of watching Line Of Duty on Netflix. </p><p> </p><p> Can't recommend it highly enough. Incredible storytelling and performances from the cast which had us completely hooked. Halfway through the 3rd series! </p><p> </p><p> Who knew a show trying to discover 'bent coppers' could be so awesome! I'm late to the party aswell.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Duncanville is great! I can’t believe they actually got the real Alf voice actor to reprise his role. I marked out big time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
