WKRP in Cincinnati - Season 1

This is one of my favorite sitcoms. Thankfully most of the original music used has been restored after the series was butchered for syndication. 4.5/5

I haven't yet because the first epsiode doesn't air in the US until the 20th.

Yeah, I found that out when I did an actual search last night. Big ooops.

Speaking of a cynical take on superheroes, has anyone watched "The Boys"? Outside of a deflated cliffhanger ending, this was one of the most entertaining things I have seen lately, fueled by the overexposure of Marvel/DC movies (although they did make the hilarious sendup of the whole thing with the Deadpool movies).

Mindhunter Season 2 6.5 / 10

What We Do in the Shadows - Season 1

Not quite as good as the movie when the premise is expanded over the length of a TV series, but still very funny--and worth watching for episode seven featuring a vampiric council consisting of guest stars reprising their past vampire characters (Tilda Swinton and Evan Rachel Wood being the most notable). 4/5

The Deuce - Season 3

This was a consistently excellent series which ended beautifully. The last scene in the finale admittedly left me a little misty. 5/5

I cut ties with cable.

Just Netflix I watch

There are TV series on Netflix. Which was the last one you watched?

Ripper Street. Amazing detective series.

I was in season 1 of Ripper Street. My entire part ended up on the cutting room floor

Batwoman. Much better than I thought it would be.

The other new show I'm watching. Like the mystery aspect and this version has ghosts too.

Did it end up as deleted scenes on the DVD?

I'm watching Nancy Drew also (read all the books as a kid and liked the '70s TV show). It has potential; I'm hoping it picks up the pace plotwise as the series develops... I thought Buffy The Vampire Slayer dragged at first but I became a big fan during later seasons (the same with Star Trek: Next Generation). I'm wondering what a CW Hardy Boys series would look like...

The Mandelorian (ep 1)

7/10

Still watching POWER. About the only new show I watch religiously. About to leave then come back then be over forever 😭. Best show none of y'all r watching 😛. Unpredictable I love it.

I'm watching but still have yet to see the mid season finale. Of course people have already

spoiled it online about Ghost. But I'm still going too watch.

The one I'm currently watching now is Greenleaf. I'm halfway through the season but have

3 episodes to catch up.

Hell I have to catch up on Black Lightning too. I've yet to watch an episode this season

Since it's the CW Frank Hardy will be the adopted son and Joe will be the gay son.

No doubt.

No doubt.

Or the other version would be The Hardy's. The premise, Joanna "Jo" Hardy, a lesbian and a former Navy seal, teams up with her adopted gay brother Frank to solve mysteries.

I saw the first 2 eps of The Mandalorian.

It is a little short and I think it is a bit unbalanced on tone. I do not like the reveals very much. I worry they will take that too far. Leave that alone!

They are also short! I want at hour! (the first 2 should have been one--and between the 2 there is at least 10 mins that was not all that necessary and even smacks of fan service.)

See (First 5 episodes) 3 / 10

Interesting

Grandchester: PBS / ITV

I've always liked mysteries shows and novels, especially those coming out of UK. Grandchester has one of the finest ensemble cast of actor's I've seen in sometime.


What I like about UK produced shows, they understand less is more. The mystery series centers around a detective and Vicar, co-partnering in solving crimes. At first though this duo between a Vicar and police officer wouldn't be believable,, but the superb writing and acting really skews the reason why this couldn't be plausible.

Note: James Norton (Vicar Sidney Chambers) who played the Vicar left in the 5th season of the show. At first, I thought Mr. Norton character was irrplacable but the new Vicar Will Davenport (played Tom Brittaney) has made a seamlesss transion.

I wish they'd show the new season here... I haven't seen the transition from Sidney to Will yet.
