I'm escaping from the madness that is 2020 by going back to the 90s with The X-Files ?

I miss the days when it was all about clever writing and character development rather than flashy effects. I struggle to get through most shows and films these days.

It does seem like more emphasis is put on action/CGI rather than the writing.

Just started season two of "The Boys". What a freaking cool show. I am a little peeved at Amazon for only releasing three episodes a week or so. I was ready to binge the heck out of that show! Damn you Amazon!!!

Also watching Lovecraft County... what a great freaking show!

The Umbrella Academy (a pleasant surprise; I was not familiar with the comic)
Lucifer (also a pleasant surprise; I generally don't think much of network shows)
The Boys (season 2. A slow start but episode 3 was pretty awesome)
Ted Lasso (great show!)

UA - The comics, IMHO, after re-reading them after watching the show, they are not nearly as good as the show. Different, but I find myself liking the show a lot more than the books.

Lucifer - What a fun ride. We enjoy this show a lot.

The Boys - The comics are near and dear to me and while the show has done a few things differently, it is still freaking hoot!

I've only seen episode one of Lovecraft Country but so far, that show is all kinds of fun! Can't wait to see more!

It goes out there! Let me tell yeah. We just finished episode three and... and... wow!

Yeah, we started the latest season of UA, but then Lucifer dropped, so we're on that. It'll be: Lucifer, Umbrella Academy, The Boys. I may need to look at Lovecraft after that.

Thanks for the heads up! I had a feeling it would be out there considering the 2nd half of episode 1. Loved all the period costumes & cars and the cast is excellent so can't wait to dive back in. I got sucked into all 6 seasons of The Americans so wanted to finish that first.

I'm late to the "Warrior Nun" party but enjoying it nonetheless. Good mindless entertainment!

Well, had to strap on my cutlass & a brace of flintlocks; but 40GB later, I am now binging Northern Exposure. Whether I have the OG episodes, or the ones with the musical changes, unknown!

Well, in season 3 now, and it looks like I got the OG episodes, probably sourced from VHS, so none of the DVD music licensing issues...! Yay...!

I started watching Ted Lasso yesterday and I'm 4 episodes into it. I really like how positive this show is. It reminds me of those comedies I really liked like 30 Rock or Parks and Recreation. In a very dark year, this show puts me in a very good mood, and they've turned Wanker into a term of endearment.
Network...?
