01.04.26 | Never heard of it, will investigate |

01.04.26 | White Lotus S3 was very bad though |
DoofDoof
01.04.26 | I liked it, other than the finale of season 2 which was a lot of fun, I would rate it higher than season 2
Season 1 is of course still the best |

01.05.26 | Landman and Stranger Things not being at the bottom is a complete joke. Yeah Taylor Sheridan I really love hearing your self-insert diatribes against woke anti-oil-ism, I'm sure you're not lying constantly to zero compelling resistance from the characters you wrote. + the constant gags of old men being completely befuddled by the concept of young women's sexuality. Boomer slop.
Slow Horses is amazing though. |

01.05.26 | Love to see some Alien Earth love but the Severance S2 criticism is baffling to me |

01.05.26 | Gameofmetal - Landman I just found clunky and boring really, maybe I should have rated it lower but overall it was passable stuff at times. The green energy message might hit differently whether you're living in the UK or US I guess.
Stranger Things…I liked the previous season a lot actually, but this time it was tonally jarring and rang hollow…but they spent some money and there was still some spectacle to it.
anarchistfish - Severance S2 lost all the charm for me, seems like a fragile ecosystem of a show that worked well within the sort of limited set up established early on. Personally I’d have liked it a one season and done cult classic where they fashioned an ending to the story there. Dunno, glad some people ‘got’ season 2 though. |

01.05.26 | Pluribus was my favourite and the best TV I've seen since Succession. And hard disagree about Adolescence - I was riveted.
Haven't heard of 1 - need to give it a watch. |

01.05.26 | I might try Pluribus - I can’t remember exactly why I didn’t try it in the end, think a review said it was similar to The Good Place which is one I couldn’t get into at all. |

01.05.26 | S5 was the weakest season of ST but I still dug it. Season 4 was just all-around better, and S3 is maybe peak for me.
The Good Place is cringe and Pluribus is def not like it haha. Highly recommend.
I'm considering watching the It tv show, the Derry one. Was also considering The Chair Compny, heard great things about that.
Severance S1&2 are both 10/10 masterpieces, for me at least. Best show on TV rn. |

01.05.26 | I guess I feel the same about S1 and 2 of Severance as how I felt about S1 and 2 of Westworld.
Lots more complexity and world building but the key appeal was neglected somewhat. |

01.05.26 | The little eyeball in Alien: Earth was the real star of the show
Season 4 of Stranger Things was better than 5 purely for the Hawkins stuff. They really needed to kill off Hopper in 3 so we didn't have to watch that stupid Russian subplot and maybe get more character moments between literally anyone in that California group
I liked s5 as a series finale but as a season it feels like it intentionally leaves plot lines open as sequel material and idk how I feel about that. The more I think about it the more I think it's like...6/10 |
gryndstone
01.05.26 | Kiiind of agreed on severance. The show has something tense and esoteric in S1 that lost something as soon as they went hard on world building. I respect them for trying though, and I'd watch the third season when they inevitably comes out |

01.05.26 | gryndstone - I'll keep loyal with Severance, I respect it has carved out unique territory, still nothing similar right now.
Stranger Things there were quite a few characters who they could have killed off and had the double win of upping the feeling of jeopardy and also clearing the dead wood. They chickened out though.
The eyeball was best TV character of the year and with no real dialogue, props to it, I'd welcome it into my cranium. |
