No one has mentioned GLOW in a while. It's a comedy based on an actual TV show from the 1980s. Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. It's smart and funny

Current shows. Invasion and Monarch on Apple.

Finished it the other night.. dang! Soo much better backstory revealed. I now thoroughly enjoy the story line for the characters, the clothing style, technology! Not to mention the storytelling aspect of it.

Caught up on Slow Horses—so good! Can’t wait for season 5.

Star Trek: Lower Decks, Alien Earth

I finally finished the sopranos

Finally was able to start Peacemaker. I'm just on the first episode and will try to catch up on eps 2 and 3 tonight. Did they retcon the inter-dimensional room into the multiple doors one?

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I was wondering the same thing, but didn't wanna go scroll through season one to try and compare the rooms lol.

'Alien: Earth' and 'Peacemaker' have already been mentioned, so I'll just add:

Foundation
Taskmaster New Zealand

Speaking of tasks, there's a HBO show called Task that starts this Sunday, so I'll check that out too (it's from the creator of Mare of Easttown)

Currently watching Battlestar with my daughter. We finished up Voyager and TNG recently and she's really enjoying the grittiness of it.

Next up is definitely Alien: Earth.

Just started DanDaDan, very strange first episode but it’s ridiculous and fun and also occasionally makes me cry so I’m enjoying it

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago

It's an amazing show!

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Other than what others mentioned, I decided to start She-Ra. And it’s… interesting. I’m going to watch it all the way through, but it’s I’m certainly not their target audience. I doubt it’ll get dark and lore intensive like I want, but maybe I’ll get some back story out of it.

[–] mushroomvoid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

It kind of does!! Hope you enjoy.

I found the new season of southpark on a decidedly non-paramount+ website and that has been fantastic

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

I tried lexx again and got passed the first season which it did get kinda better. Still not a show I can really recommend. Still it does seem to get better even though the central plot never seems to go away. So far the musical and the wizard of oz episodes and the sex change are my favorites.

Football is back baby! Texas, Alabama, Chiefs, and Cowboys all lost. It's starting pretty spectacular.

Finished Twisted Metal S2. The whole show is great. But I finally have my first major complaint. But considering the budget impact, I understand them not going in that direction. (It's honestly a spoiler to say specifics.)

Finishing up Yellowjackets S3. I like the show a lot. It definitely makes me uncomfortable at times though. Then again, I'm sensitive to control and manipulation.

Not sure what I'm watching next. I need to finish up Star Trek Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds. But the wife doesn't watch that. Drew Carey Show has been a go-to when I need something quick. I still have a season of Miracle Workers, but it's not on any streaming platforms anymore. I probably need to finish Echo. I might dig back into Scrubs. But again, the wife doesn't really watch that.

I'll be getting Netflix again by the end of the year, so I'll be watching Sandman S2, Wednesday S2, Black Mirror, the final season of Stranger Things.
