I need a new TV series to get into (old or new) v2

Dave is really good.

It's raunchy as hell but has surprising heart. GaTA is a huge standout. He has two episodes that absolutely get you in the feels. It is completed amazing he has never been an actor before.

^ Yup, Dave is shockingly fantastic for as childish it can be it's equally hearwarming.

Gata is definitely a standout.

I'm starting to think The Haunting of Hill House will be Mike Flanagan's one-hit wonder. The Midnight Club is pretty average, and it's been a slog to get through it (two more episodes)

I couldn't finish the previous Midnight series and this one I'm stuck at Episode 5 and not wanting to continue...

Neither hold a candle to Hill House for me at least.

Ya, I'm on episode 4 or so of Midnight Mass. Not really motivated to continue.

I really enjoyed it and can't wait for season 2, wait is there a season 2?


Also, big shout out to Resident Alien as series more people should watched, it is odd, funny, weird, generally all over the place in a great way.

They just started filming season 2 of severance

It doesnt get any better, and i believe the intent is to have multiple seasons (so it does not have the same type of finality at the end.

Although, i really liked Midnight Mass!

Watched the first few episodes of the new series "High School" based on Tegan & Sara's teen years growing up in Calgary. Lots of warm and fuzzy 90s nostalgia in this show, especially the soundtrack which includes dozens of throwbacks like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, 54-40, The Tragically Hip, the Odds, the Breeders, Veruca Salt, etc...

Also plenty of Calgary-centric easter eggs, like gig posters for shows at the Republik, a Red Autumn Fall t-shirt, a scene where they go to a Green Day concert at the 'Dome, and several scenes filmed at Crescent Heights High School.

I've always been a big supporter of The Great British Bake Off but that all changed today when I experienced Mexican Week. Quite possibly the most cringe hour of television ever broadcast. I think I'm done.

My wife and I really enjoyed the Irish black comedy on AppleTV called Bad Sisters. Very entertaining.

That's on Prime, right?

I agree. It's a very good show.

I'm re-watching Hannibal.

If you have not seen Hannibal, get off your ass (or rather, on it) and watch Hannibal!

Ahh. I had forgotten this one. Must add it to the list of series I have given up on.
Or maybe I need to try this again first.

End of season two was too good. GATA is the heart of that show.

It looks like Prime has added High School. It wasn't on there a couple of days ago.

It's always weird when shows that were made in Canada, especially those that are set in Canada, are available in the States but not in Canada.

I'm a couple of episodes into the current season of American Horror Story, and where's the horror? Seems like more of a cheesy crime drama so far

It was almost comical how thoroughly awful and detestable that guy was

Props to a mention of the silver inn during the show. Classic spot!

Finally got around to watching the Haunting of Hill House, and it was amazing! I enjoyed the hell out of it. A lot of great choices in making it, some episodes in particular that blew me away with their really long scenes with zero cuts. One of them went on for like 15+ minutes. Really impressive and spooky. Highly recommend.

Started watching the Haunting of Bly Manor last night and I'm struggling to get into that one, but same director & some of the same actors so I have faith that it'll be well done too.
