Great TV series - What are you watching now?

It's been mentioned before, but Mare of East Town is fantastic. Kate Winslet kills it.

Excellent show, also love the moments of humor from Jean Smart, especially the affair!

Quoting myself: I got the wife to watch Yellowstone (since my in-laws decided to buy the 1st 2 seasons on my Prime account). She hated the 1.5hr pilot, and I loved it. Our rule is to give a show 3 episodes before making a final decision to continue & she obviously is refusing to follow (I had to fight her to watch GoT, which she ended up obsessing over).

So because of this, we tried What We Do in the Shadows on Hulu. Both of us loved it so much that we watched the 1st 3 episodes from bed last night.

Never watched Dexter, and honestly don't know if I'd have any interest, but I've been seeing that trailer pop up everywhere and everyone's all hyped up.

BTW, Letterkenny on Hulu is funny as hell but it's honestly a bit hard to comprehend sometimes due to the fast pace of their conversation and slang they use (Canadian based program). I joked about this in the past but I actually turn on the closed captioning when I watch that show just to make sure I understand what the hell they're saying. Lol.

I don't know, sadly I can't watch it because it is not on Netflix, and I'm not paying for another subscription, but I watched the trailer for Letterkenny and had no issues following along. Maybe you just need to spend some time up here!

But it does look like a show I would watch if it ever comes to Netflix or becomes free to watch.

You might not want to

One of the worst (if not the worst) series finales in history.

I don't know man, I was really let down by that last season. The producers know they dropped the ball so hopefully this will be good.

Unfortunately I don't have Showtime now.

That's what I've been told. I have been advised not to watch, since we have a new season to look forward to, i don't think it will be that bad.

Dexter, purely because I still to this day can't understand most of the final season of Lost

Dexter really made me hate the writers, what they did to Debra and Dexter leaving really pissed me off. Although Game of Thrones I think has taken Dexter's spot of most hated series finale.

LOL. I won't go as far as saying GOT takes the cake from Dexter. I wasn't super thrilled with that ending but I still think Dexter is worse. I have no idea what the new season is going to be like though.

ramman434 · 08-11-2021, 02:56 PM

Ya'll are also forgetting the terrible ending to How I Met Your Mother.

GOT wasn't just the series finale, it was majority of the 8th season (5 out of 7 episodes were horrible)

That's exactly when I stopped watching TWD as well. It had become repetitive long before that. And I don't mind "torture porn" movies like HOSTEL, but it seemed unnecessary for the show.

Yes, there is a lot of good original programming on Hulu IMO. One really good series is "The Great". Only 1 season was released so far and I'm really hoping there will be a second season. Way better than I expected.

"Casual" was also really good. "Ramy" is supposed to be good but I haven't watched it yet.

We have HULU mainly so we can watch the OKC Thunder games, although they screwed that. And now I'll have to sign up for some other service.

And OSU football since the fiance and I are both alums. But we bought season tickets this year.

I don't feel like reading through 75 pages so this may have already been said... but it's really good:

It was wonky, but the series itself was outstanding.

The series was definitely great, and unlike any other, but like most shows it did have its ups and downs past season 4, but I can't see how anyone would have liked that finale.

Captain Blood · 08-12-2021, 10:17 PM

So I'm enjoying the first couple episodes of Loki. Tom Hiddleston is great. I understand he may be the next James Bond. And it hit me,Loki , the way he plays it, it's simply a takeoff on Dr. Baltazar from the revamped Battlestar Galactica. If you listen to them, they seem like the same person almost.

ramman434 · 08-13-2021, 09:51 AM

I really enjoyed the Loki series.

Wasn't a big fan of Wandavision nor Capt. America & the Winter Soldier. They were both meh
