Yellowstone is an entertaining enough show but not anywhere near the same league as Succession IMO..

We have binged almost every season of Rupaul's Drag Race that has been produced in any format.
It is fabulous. Oh the drama!

I don't know how I feel about this, mainly because I'm so fond of the original wonder years and it had one of the most emotional series endings that I've ever seen and closed the series perfectly.

Wonder Years is in my top 3 favourite shows of all time. I've rewatched the series half a dozen times over since it ended and it still hits. Though the last time I realized Kevin is a bit of a jerk.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. The producers have made some great TV.

Finished season 2 of What We Do In The Shadows, amazing show. Everything that comes out of Matt Berry's mouth is gold, and Mark Hamill as a vampire is one of the best things I've seen in years. If you liked the movie, the show is a must watch. Even if you didn't like the movie, give it a chance, because it's not straight NZ dry humor. Reminds me a lot of Arrested Development in that rewatching it can be even funnier since there will be so many jokes and references that you miss the first time around

The Wonder Years is lightning in a bottle, you aren't re-creating that. It was a product of its time.

This reminds me, Wellington Paranormal, which is based on the cops that appear in the WWDITS movie, is going to be airing on The CW over the summer, premiering on Sunday.

It originally aired in New Zealand starting in 2018. So far, 3 6-episode seasons have aired in NZ. I'm not sure how many The CW has the rights for.

The minute Veep ended What We Do In The Shadows became the funniest show on TV.

Some missed episodes this season, but a few really great ones too. The finale was top notch!

Does anyone watch Handmaid's Tale? Just about done with season 4. It's rather grim, rarely does anything good ever happen.

Is The Dave the same show as Dave on FX?

Hey Mr. Strange Brew...meet Mrs. Atwood.

Notorious optimist extraordinaire.

I think she got a Nobel Prize for 'loving life as we know it.'

She didnt? Thats not a thing? That makes sense.

Yes, seemed like improper grammar to say "Dave season 2 finale was incredible".

I'm not exactly recommending Schmigadoon to anyone, but all I'll say is that I'm pretty sure I've got a stupid grin on my face for the duration of every single episode.

I grew up in a household where my parents watched musicals a lot, so I'm probably in that perfect demographic of appreciating the qualities of musicals from that era, while also enjoying the ridiculousness of the format being pointed out and laughed at.

Yes. It’s depressing as hell. Yay Canada though.

Yup, watched it all. It's a really a well produced show. Dark as ####, but great. Characters you root for, and others you loath to the core. Elisabeth Moss is absolutely incredible. She has an intense presence, and huge range. Some of her monologues are flooring, like (not sure if you are there yet)
Spoiler!
She deserves all the awards.
