Which TV Series Are You Binging On?

Rewatched 1st season of Mandalorian (and Grogu) - 2 seasons left, but I'm gonna save it awhile.

So watching Wheel of Time now. I thought that I had seen some of it, but remember nothing of it. Not that bad at all.

Season 2 is much better than the first. Still, it's not great. Some really good stuff, some bad. It's too long. 6 episodes would have been enough to cut the boring stuff out. Maybe they'll get it right with season 3.

Started Secret Level and after a few episodes, I couldn't continue. It's just bad. Then started What If? season 3. After the first episode, I just couldn't continue watching. Season 2 was already bad, but this seems to be worse.

I have now started Tracker, which seems good so far (3 episodes in). Have Squid Game season 2, From season 3 and Silo season 2 on my list for the first half of January.


Don't know. Everything I watch is automatically stored locally and remotely for potentially rewatching it later. So I watched the original version from back when it aired.

Don't think I watched through all s1 of Rings of Power as I wasn't that impressed - might give it another chance later, if s2 is better.

I'm watching season 2 of Castlevania.

I wasn't expecting much since it's based on a side scrolling video game. The only reason I started was because I loved the games series. I am pleasantly surprised by the story and excellent voice acting. Oh the art is good too. People who have never played the games would enjoy it.

I spent too much time doing this

Finished season 2 of Squid Game. Mixed feelings, starts of really bad, then gets better, with an interesting twist towards the end which leads nowhere.
I guess it's pretty clear there was supposed to be a long season 2, which they chopped up in season 2 and 3. Luckily, season 3 is already done and will release this year to finish the story. It's nowhere near as good as season 1 so far.

Also finished season 3 of FROM. Brilliant. Absolutely fantastic. Love it. Season 4 can't come soon enough.

Okay, this showed up in an ad, and I had to buy the set:

I was maybe five when I became a fan of Saturday morning cartoons, as most of us from that epoch were. Think I was maybe eight when Loonie Tunes™ and The Pink Panther™ were suddenly displaced by Jonny Quest! I was already dog-earing my Dad's Aviation Week and Space Technology mags before he got home, and now there's this kid in the cartoons who's experiencing cool private jets, pterodactyls, volcanoes, pistols and military rifles, explosives, visits to India, Andian jungles, polar ice-caps and the Middle East, ray guns, moon rockets, human sacrifices, mummies, Dr. Zinn and evil force fields, how cool was that?!? I LOVED that show, and had to buy this collection.
Yeah, it's written for children, and I'm not sure I'll watch all 26 episodes; but it's fun to see this stuff more than half a century later, and the theme/background music is STILL as cool as hell.
Memories.

Watch them all, then watch The Venture Bros...

Never heard of that; just looked at a couple clips on EweTube and it looks a bit better than a couple of the JQ ripoffs I'd seen before (that included icky girls).
 
Watching Derrick, this episode right at the moment:

Tödliches Rendezvous

Derrick Episode 104

Derrick
derrick-database.com

Bank robber gets away with a large amount of money, sees a taxi and makes his getaway, only to find the taxi-driver recognises his voice and then things start to go wrong.

Anyone know the theme music in this episode - I can only find it is from Frank Duval "thema" but not the actual album it is from.
 
There is nothing interesting so we are rewatching Dexter the original show, a while back. It’s funny to see old phones and old internet things or old tech.

Debra is so much fun, so is Masuka. Not sure we would get such characters in 2025. I have a crush on Christine Hill!

We are now in season 4 with the Trinity killer, amazing actor.

I still remember the end of the series and I know almost everyone complained about it to the extent to throw the whole show to the bin but I still enjoy rewatching it.

Then we will watch the one in the snow (New Blood I think but not great) and I’ve heard there is a kind of prequel but not sure if it worthy.

I’m waiting for Season 3 of The White Lotus and we booked a few nights at the shooting location (FS Koh Samui) so it’s going to be fun. I hope the show goes back to Season 1 because I really hated S02.

Have you checked out Dexter: Original Sin? It's a new Dexter that's only 6 episodes into S1. A new Dexter coming in June of this year too, Dexter: Resurrection. I am a Dexter alcoholic and loved the original and all the sequels!!!

Loved the OG Dexter, could tolerate the snowy Dexter despite the obnoxious son. Like Original Sin a lot but I think the character of Dexter’s sister Deb was seriously mis-cast. In the OG Jennifer Carpenter’s Deb is tall, thin, take charge, competent. In Original Sin she’s much shorter, wider, and emotionally nowhere near take charge or competent, certainly not sufficiently to take on being a police detective let alone a good one. Disappointing.
