The Prisoner (1968) - Honestly I don’t get it. Its not the Britishness of it. What I don’t get is why this captured the attention of the American public?
Doing my first re-watch of The Wire in like 3-4 years. Maybe even longer. Someone on a group chat mentioned they were watching and I started getting that itch like it was a for a 1000th re-watch. Man it is still so good.
On the season 1 finale, and god… Avon trusts implicitly that Stringer’s not being arrested along with him was crazy and it’s not even possible he was snitching. Does not even blink, there wasn’t a single fucking atom of doubt about Stringer’s loyalty.
Season 3 Avon reads that Stringer was the one who gave him up. Which is a different kind of death. Not that it is some like super deep insight but that scene in season 1 is appreciated so much more having that knowledge now.
It’s a new story every time.
in season 2 of snowpiercer and its kinda dragging. the usual trek broadcasts and svengoolie and mash. I got no recomendations though as Im just kinda watching whats around currently.
I was really excited about On Campus, I love hockey and frothy romances but this just doesn’t work for me. It’s just too hammy and I gave up half way through 2nd episode. I had realistic expectations I wasn’t expecting it to be even 10% as glorious as heated rivalry but sadly… just didn’t like it.
Just started the latest season of black mirror. First episode was bleak but excellent. Also rewatching Archer cos I fucking love it
Saving Hope - Still on season 1, still think it’s fantastic Cassandre - On season 2, liking it a lot so far Deadly Tropics aka Tropiques criminels - On season 2, having a blast watching it Departure - I’m only watching it because it has a fantastic cast of British and Canadians actors, but it’s good enough so far
Love this show. Everyone is great but Garett Dillahunt gives one of the best and most underrated comedic performances in the past however long since it aired.
My list grows:
Watching alone:
- Widow’s Bay
- Margo’s Got Money Troubles
- King of the Hill
- Bob’s Burgers
- Skins
- Invincible
- Criminal Record
With my wife:
- Scrubs (2026)
- Shameless (UK)
- Shrinking
- Monarch
Widow’s Bay Margo’s Got Money Troubles
Loving these two right now. Surprised by how much I am enjoying them.
Bob’s burger is a classic!
Your wife seems to like shows that start with “S”. You should show her Skins.
I promised a friend I’d start watching The Comeback after the finale, and I have. It’s weird to go back and watch 2005 era TV. The show itself is your fake documentary reality style, at least this first season. I’m not sure the word existed at the time, but it’s cringe humor and I’m a fan.
