Finishing up the second season of Grace and Frankie. Such a good show.

 

[Second Summer]

The first episode of The Americans season 5 was everything I've hoped for

At the moment we're watching The Walking Dead & Legion.

TWD has always been our absolute favourite show but sadly we're not enjoying it very much anymore. It's become really cheesy & the characters are just ****. Don't care about them at all. They might as well all die cause no one would care haha.


Legion is pretty good. Weird... Really weird but good.

I have been binge watching Buffy for a bit, 20 years ago it started. I feel old.

I quite like 24: Legacy. The main guy looks like someone I used to date.

I stopped watching after the third episode with Daryl.
It really ****** me off as it was one of my favourite shows before that!

Same here, I was thinking has it really been that long?!

‘The Big Bang Theory’ Renewed For Seasons 11 & 12 By CBS

This show is like the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going, and going, and going...

We already have this:

Speechless (TV series) - Wikipedia

Which I love.

And now this:

Julia, The First Muppet With Autism, Is About To Make Her Debut On "Sesame Street"

Things seem to be improving in the way television portrays special needs kids.

I'm so sad that Grimm has come to an end.

Prison Break is back, but I read it had mixed reviews.

I've been going old school lately - watching Star Trek from the very beginning. I finished watching the entire original series, and the movie series with the original cast.

I'm about half way through season 1 of Next Generation now, which is when it starts to get good. Everyone talks about the second season being the point when it "grows its beard" and improves, but there are a couple of episodes mid-way though season 1 that are significantly better than the first 7 or 8 mediocre episodes. Not the best episodes of the series, but definitely starting to get good, after a slow start.

I've seen all of the original, Next Gen, and DS9 in the past, but only about half of the Voyager episodes back when it was new, and only one or two Enterprise episodes. I think I also missed the last one or two Next Gen movies.

This could take a while, since I don't have much free time right now, so I'm pretty much just watching 4 or 5 episodes per week.

We watched the first episode of American Gods, which we both thought was somewhat disappointing. (Jen fell asleep.)

Spoiler

I was offended already in the opening sequence when my Norse ancestors, the first Europeans to discover the New World - more than 1000 years ago, were portrayed as simple and superstitious brutes! And then they had cast some Italian-looking guy as the main Norse god.

We're also watching a Norwegian series from 2015 on Netflix called Occupied, which is keeping our interest. It's based on a book by Jo Nesbø, I think.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

Watching Powerless on demand. Cute show, but canceled.


OUAT is a musical tonight.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I rented the complete season one of Better Call Saul. I had seen the first few episodes, then sort of lapsed... now I'm playing catch-up.

What's cool is that I got all 3 discs, all 10 episodes, for 5 nights, for only $1.49. Newer series releases are rented out by the disc, usually with only 2-4 episodes per... and costing $3 for just a night or two. Needless to say, I am really diggin' my "half-off" status....

Time to go watch more Saul!

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Well, it sure didn't take me long to get through that! ^^^^ I finished season one two nights ago, picked up season two last night... I'll probably be done with it tomorrow.

Fox has cancelled Pitch, Rosewood and Sleepy Hollow. Now if they'd only cancel Scream Queens and Wayward Pines, I'd be happy. NBC canceled Emerald City.

 

[Moll Flanders]

I thought they might cancel SH, I'm running out of shows to watch!

Have you considered the Superhero shows on The CW? I'm planning to binge as much as possible this summer, so hopefully be caught up by the time the new episodes air this fall.

I'm almost caught on Supergirl; I had to miss Monday's episode.

Fox has cancelled Pitch, Rosewood and Sleepy Hollow. Now if they'd only cancel Scream Queens and Wayward Pines, I'd be happy. NBC canceled Emerald City.

Wayward Pines is still on? I stopped watching it after the first episode of season 2. They should have left it as a mini series like it was meant to be.

I took a break from watching the Star Trek shows to watch the Star Wars movies. May 4 inspired me. So far, I've watched 3 of them, so 5 more to go. And I picked up Rogue One on DVD, so I have them all at home now, ready to go.

Good for you! And this month (May 25th to be exact) marks Star Wars' 40th anniversary!!

I've been watching the third season of Catastrophe. It's not nearly as cute and funny as the first two seasons.

I recently finished Mildred Pierce. It was pretty good - excellent costuming and set design.
