TV Tuesdays Free Talk
Have you watched any TV shows recently you want to discuss? Any shows you want to recommend or are hyped about? Feel free to discuss anything here.
Please just try to provide fair warning of spoilers if you can.
I watched The Haunting of Bly Manor on Netflix last week. It was a really nice show. It's an anthology show. The "first season" was The Haunting of Hill House which shared a lot of the same cast and was also quite good.
Perfectly splendid shows would recommend.
Original Soundtrack
Is that a ghost show? Is it scary?
It's a ghost story, but I can't say the second season was scary. The first one was much scarier and I thought about it for quite some time after the end. The way the story is told is quite awesome. I rewatched it a while later. The second time you watch it, the story is different, it's got a lot of warmth.
A comment on YouTube described it pretty well:
Red Letter Media have done 'Half in the Bag' reviews of both of them that are worth watching IMO:
Half in the Bag Episode 155: The Haunting of Hill House and Overlord
Half in the Bag: Borat 2 and The Haunting of Bly Manor
CC: @mrbig, just warning they do contain spoilers (though they give a heads up before they get into them)
Thanks. I'm definitely interested but I am also a complete wuss. Horror content is a guarantee of multiple mind-shattering nightmares.
I am the same way but only with scary video games, and not movies, for some reason. :P
Okay, I’m not hip, so I’ve been watching Two and a Half Men for some comfort laughter.
Saw the pilot for The Goldberg’s and I just love the 80s nostalgia and maladjusted family life. I could listen to Jeff Garlin yell all day long. And Wendi McLendon-Covey is hilarious—recognized her from a very short appearance as Concierge Marie in The Office (I watched that show way too much).
Started watching truth seekers on amazon. Good stuff. It hits a number of notes for me-i used to be a cable guy, i loved the x files, and i love the pegg-frost combo, even if pegg’s not around that much. I identify more with frost’s characters anyway.
A meta question: since we don’t seem to have an equivalent of this thread on ~movies, should we discuss here all the movies we watch on TV? Maybe only those on broadcast or streaming platforms? What if I watch a blu-ray of a movie on my TV?
There used to be Movie Mondays, but it stopped for some reason.
The Undoing started a few weeks ago. It stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant (less of a lead role.)
It seems good so far, but it also feels like it could have been a subplot for Big Little Lies. I think this series will be worth watching, but if you skip it, you won't be missing out on any sort of cultural movement or anything significant.
I've started watching Clone Wars in chronological order -- and its pretty great. I didn't like the animation style at first, but it really has grown on me.
I originally started watching from S01 on, but chronologically has a few variations and is really worth the effort.
Long Way Up wrapped up and what a fun series. Ewan McGregor and his bestie, Charley Boorman head up on electric motorcycles from the southern tip of Argentina to Los Angelas. This series is incredibly wholesome and perfect. The 'drama' isn't ever too dramatic or overblown, which is a breath of fresh air. If you're in to travel videos, this trilogy is definitely worth a watch.
Super late edit: If you haven't watched The Good Lord Bird yet, definitely do it. Seven episodes of perfection.
