Which TV Series Are You Binging On?

Getting read y for Season 2 of Tulsa King!

Liked S1 and S2 is supposed to be a bit darker so we will see. Have a couple more eps of stuff recorded which we will finish up this week and then off we go.
 
I'm halfway through seasons 2 of K-On!

I should be embarrassed to enjoy an anime targeted at teenage girls, but gawd, it's so dang wholesome I can't help myself. 4 (then 5) high school girls form a band and becomes friends. A lovely slice of life anime.

20 years late but finally got around to starting Lost. Burned through season one in 4 days and just started season 2 last night. I wish now that I watched it when it was new all those years ago. Something about the suspense of having to wait a week for new episodes that made shows better.

Not for me. I hate cliffhanger endings. I'm old enough to remember the Who shot JR? obsession that rocked the US. I didn't even know about the show until it was everywhere.😑 That was all "the old people" (adults😁) talked about.😒

Hard to have "water cooler talks" when some people have binged, and some haven't. Each episode of Lost was also hotly debated online.

The final episode of M*A*S*H, which I believe still holds the title for the largest TV audience ever, would not have had the same impact if people could have just streamed it at midnight on the day it was released.

Now, it's discussed in terms of streaming minutes.

On the positive side, easy access to streaming has given new life to some shows. Lost is a good candidate for those who missed it the first time around. The success of Suits is perhaps the best example, though why that is eludes me.

I guess it was a decent show when the original premise still held, and before it devolved into "angry people aggressively talking at each other in the office," peppered by profanity to make it sound serious, accompanied by "the Wacky Adventures of Louis Litt," which occupied way more time than it ever merited.
 
I watched the first episode of Fallout tonight. I'm mainly doing it because of Ella Purnell (recently saw Arcane and of course Star Trek Prodigy) but the first episode was engaging. I know nothing of the games and I'm not a gamer, but it was incredibly violent. Looking forward to diving deeper into this world.

Finished Arcane Season 2.

I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed.

Loved season 1, and the animation is still some of the best I've ever seen.

But then they had to do that "multiverse" thing, which I'm just thoroughly fed up of, and also I didn't really like the ending.

It had it's strong points but agree with your criticism here.

Arcane was the most disappointing show I saw this year. Loved season 1 and that relationship between Powder/Jinx and Vi, but then in season 2 they moved away from that being the main point and jammed way too much in so little. This was a series that could have benefited from another season or 2.
 
I started watching Spartacus.

I'm currently on episode 5 of season one. I have to say, Spartacus is an insufferable prick 😤 ...so far. I'm hoping his character improves over course of the series.

So far, the Doctore and Crixus are my two favorite characters.

:D I am an old guy, and still love Japanese animé, not necessarily Kon above (no children themes) but adult ones. For example, over at Netflix I watched this one below:

Then there is another I i really enjoyed because of the wonderful story and piano players. Forest Of Piano

1- “Black Doves” - Love Keira Knightly and the show
2- “Dexter: New Blood” - Loved the older “Dexter” series
3- “Dexter: Original Sin” - “Dexter’s” prequel, have only seen first ep but promising
4- “Man on the Inside” - Ted Danson fan, excellent feel-good show with very decent supporting cast
5- “The Diplomat” - can’t wait for next season with Allison Janney as the President. Missed her since “Mom” ended and her surprising comedic chops. Nice, though, to see her back in another “West Wing-ish” sort of role where she has no peer in my opinion.

Finished Wolf Hall yesterday - been rationing my watching by seeing it when broadcast.

Stunningly good IMHO.

Highly, highly recommended if you can get access to the BBC.
