I dunno what high school you guys went to, but most of the teenagers I remember sure as hell didn't look like the ones on this show (except for me of course I was already 6'4" and flexed my pecs/abs to move people out of the way during class change)

I’ve tried multiple times and never got thru more than about 3 or 4 episodes. Nobody interested me and the episodes were boring.

Today is the 40th Anniversary of Late Night with David Letterman. He’s put up a bunch of clips on YouTube.

I’m just getting into season 2 of the Great. First season was…uhhh…great.

Also watching Osark season 4.

Finished 2 seasons of Stargirl. I really had to push through some sections of season 1, but season 2 is really good.

Also enjoying Elementary season 4.

I loved it, probably in my top 5 all time shows. Great acting, writing, and a feast for the eyes. So many amazing characters.

My only complaint is that some of the secondary characters didn’t get their story arcs completely played out or resolved like the main characters.

It’s not for everyone, but I highly recommend it.

Working my way through a few shows currently. Finished Season 3 of Billions on Crave. Such a good show.

Also finished season 2 of Vikings and currently watching season 3 of Manifest on Netflix

Almost finished Elementary (7 seasons & 154 episodes). It's been better than I anticipated for sure.

I really enjoyed it. Not as good as Sopranos but not much is.

Lots of great characters and storylines.

Quick search didn’t turn up anything …

The Afterparty. Apple TV +. Worth starting?

It's so good. I like that it feels so far in the future, you don't mentally question any tech.

The Orville: New Horizons tentatively set to debut on June 2. Kept waiting for the "and Norm Macdonald as Yaphit" and didn't see it. Might not have completed his voiceover for the final season, which is too bad.



EDIT: Nevermind. Should have used the old Google machine, first. Norm will be in the series.

They got themselves a budget I see.

It isn't a show that many will watch, as it doesn't have the online hype machine and budget behind it, but yeah that was one of the better shows I've ever watched.

It takes a certain type of viewer, I guess. But I teared up three times in the final episode, lol. Very beautiful and unique depiction of possible way of life after a near extinction event (virus).

I find most shows that tackle apocalypse/mass death/near extinction tend to all go towards violence, anger and pure desperation. And I guess they all may be closer to reality than Station Eleven, but the take was so refreshing and nice to see.

I love that the importance of art and purpose in a broken society along with positive relationships and acceptance of other groups is at the forefront rather than the simple gathering of supplies, taking territory and constant violent battles you see in so many shows.
