Its a fun zombie show that feels a little more urgent, imo, than other shows...it was also filmed locally in and around Calgary, so good to promote a local producation


Oh yeah, my son said they had filmed a bunch of scenes at Queen E last season.

Just started this the other day and the first scene with the 15 minutes or so of single camera panning action was amazing! Very 1917 like. Think I'll give this a chance since it was filmed locally.

A friend of mine played a big part in set design for this series.

So many Conan tributes on Twitter tonight - too many to link. His final show is on TBS tonight.

Conan O’Brien’s writers — and longtime sidekick — on their favorite memories from the show.

He was good at first and then his comedy style just became vanilla, polished, uninteresting, unedgy. Were there any recent favourite moments?

I think leaving NYC was a mistake, and he didn’t have the budget and right to continue the bits he had on NBC.

The lack of any budget is what made him, and early Letterman, fun to watch. I don’t think Conan needed to keep his old bits. There was good stuff, but he could’ve adapted.

Have not tried this yet, but this was recommended to me for those who were fans of Dark.

It definitely has Dark vibes to it... the cinematography is immediately striking...as is the oppressive gloom and sub titles

sounds right in my wheelhouse

His sketches and stuff didn't do it for me, but imo he was one of the best interviewers after Letterman because he doesn't fake laugh or make it cringy. If the guest is on a roll he lets them continue, if they're struggling he helps them out. Just has a knack for it

Mare of Easttown is worth your time.

Fair warning, if you’ve got any experience, directly or indirectly with suicide, this is going to put you through the ringer.

I really want to like M.O.D.O.K., but I just don't think I do.

I am just Patton Oswalted out. He seems to be interjecting himself into everything. Had to stop following him on Twitter too, everything is just an ad.

Entourage. Enjoyed it immensely. I remember hearing about it when it first came out but never saw any of it because I did not have HBO and always wanting to check it out. Damn, can't believe it was almost 18 years ago when it premiered. Now just got to watch the movie.

I'm a big fan and he's one of the few comedians I've always wanted to see live but never had the chance (I don't think he tours Canada), but I kind of agree. He's in everything lately.

I don't understand how M.O.D.O.K. is so well reviewed. Audience scores are significantly lower, however.

I've really been enjoying "Kevin Can ###### Himself".

I was a big fan of Annie Murphy's before, but she's done a great job in this role moving away from her character in Schitt's. And I really like that it's a new concept - moving between the classic sitcom to a dark comedy to tell the real story behind the sitcom wife.

Pretty sure there isn't a thread for this, but I know it's been talked about in this thread and it's a ####ing phenomenal show, so whatever.

Looks like a cross between Yellowstone and Arrested Development.
