I wanna try a weekly ‘what are you watching’ thread, and see if there’s enough activity.

Here’s some of the shows I’ve been watching last week:

  • Loki (Season 2)
    • Finished watching it last week. It is probably my favorite post Thanos MCU show. I like the character growth, and while I usually dislike Thor’s story (due to magic and gods), I ended up liking Loki a lot
  • Fringe (Season 4)
    • Started season 4 of Fringe. Man! I love this show a lot. I can’t wait to be disappointed in the final season.
  • Nathan for You (Season 4)
    • Finally finished the whole show. I love the part where Nathan needed to prepare for his Jimmy Kimmel interview. The last episode started out good, but I ended up disliking Bill, after his comments about what Frances said long time ago.
  • Impractical Jokers (Season 1)
    • I learned about Impractical Jokers from Instagram videos, decided to try it. Season 1 is kinda dated, but some parts are really hilarious. I think I only like prank shows, when they are making fun of themselves.
  • Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated (Season 1)
    • Dropped the show altogether, I find it boring.
  • Castlevania: Nocturne (Season 1)
    • Feels like other Castlevania shows, I’m on episode 3, and it still hasn’t hooked me yet
  • Gunbuster (Season 1)
    • I am really enjoying the feel of this old anime. It went quickly from sports-mech anime into darker / more serious tone in episode 2. There’s something about older anime that’s kinda lost in the newer ones, I can’t quite put my words into it.
  • Amazing Stories (1985) (Season 1)
    • I’m now at episode 8. The quality varies between episodes, since it’s an anthology show. I like the episode with the mummy, and the keyboard murderer.
  • The Adults (2023)
    • I’m weirdly liking this movie a lot, it’s more drama than comedy. It’s quite a sweet movie about straining relationships between 3 siblings, without anything really bombastic happening, and probably why it’s more relatable to me.

So, what have you been watching the past week?

    I’m on the last season of a Fraiser rewatch. For a show that last aired 20 years ago and lasted 11 full seasons, I’m surprised at how well it holds up and how consistently funny it is.

    Also just finished season 2 of The Morning Show on Apple. Wasn’t nearly as good as the first season, and I’ve heard that season 3 is even worse. Think I might be done with this one.

    Over the weekend I did a triple feature of Saltburn, The Holdovers and Next Goal Wins. The Holdovers was the clear standout of the three. Really solid writing and great performances from everyone involved.

      I actually enjoyed Season 3 of The Morning Show, personally. (Though I agree on Season 2)

      Like Season 1, it’s hard to watch in spots, though.

      it’s kinda bummer that Morning Show is declining in quality. I’ve seen people recommending it when it was in its first season or so.
