They just did a really solid casting job on that series.

I started to watch that but realized I haven’t seen that episode yet.

Coach makes some of the best speeches I’ve ever heard. I speak a lot but not like that.

Is Babylon 5 available on any streaming services?

Amazon Prime US has it, if you're familiar with using streaming services over VPN

I would recommend Mindhunter on Netflix, quite compelling

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. It's pretty good and the acting in particular is fantastic.

Greg Davis is bloody brilliant.

Task Master, Youtube has the full episodes.

Taskmaster is brilliant. We could really have a whole thread on British panels shows.

Decided to give Fresh Off The Boat a shot, and it's way better than I was expecting. Asian success perms and the Jewish Chinese boy are the standout episodes so far, though I may be biased having married into an Asian family. How similar Jessica is to my own wife is a little frightening

We have had some eerily similar conversations about: dishwashers, and how hard could the test have been if you got 100% on it.

No surprise to see Anne with an E was cancelled. I thought the first season was a solid update of the source material but wow did it ever turn to crap. They could have learned from Mad Men how to deal with issues of gender, race, and sexuality in a period piece but instead we got an unsubtle hammering of how woke the writers are.

Like GoT this shows the risks of diverging from the source.

Already heard 'You' was bad, particularly the first season but my girlfriend and I still gave it a half decent shot. 7 episodes in and at this point it's just a waste of time to keep going.

Main character isn't one I have any particular feelings for one way or another. Leading lady is just perpetually helpless despite showing the awareness to make changes. All around, the characters are just flat. At one point there was a potentially interesting conflict dynamic but that ended in the dumbest episode ever.


Kim's Convenience has been a fun watch so far.

Easily the best series I have watched since True Detective season 1.

I'm about a decade too late, but finally started 30 Rock. Good stuff.

30 Rock only gets better as it goes IMO.

Starting binging it again recently after a few years away and going through all of Parks and Rec over the holidays.

My wife showed me a clip of 'You' with the character's internal narration removed and it really hammers home how bad the writing is. He basically spends entire scenes standing around silently with a dumb expression on his face while people talk to him.

One of the few shows that had consistent quality from start to finish. For recent comedies I can only think of Veep and Bojack Horseman that are in the same league
