And becoming incredibly relevant.

You can almost tell when the Snowden revelation dropped because the story becomes cartoonish.

Like the writers felt the need to outdo reality. Like you say, perhaps the show will be superseded by reality once more.

Ahhh such a good show

The Traitors has just started in the UK. It's essentially a game of Werewolf with tasks.

The first season of this was good, they used regular people. You cared if they lived or died.

The second season is full of your typical big brother wannabe narcissists. You don't care if they die, you just care which ones die first.

It's watcheable. There's also a weird obsession by the production to play shitty emo covers of popular pop songs in tense moments. Baffling choice, but I guess originality is too hard

Oooo thanks for the heads up. Did you see the last Australian series of this? It was absolutely fucking horrendous and made the second season here look amazing in comparison.

The music is fucking dog shit though xD

I'm usually not crazy about BBT, but in this case, he really carries the show IMHO.

He's also good on Goliath.

If you're into something different, a weird Canadian comedy kind of thing: Shoresy It's different, and I like different.

Landman would be good if it weren't pushing so much fucking propaganda.

My kids love Gravity Falls, which as an adult I still love.

Someone else mentioned Silo, I agree.

My wife loves Great British Bakeoff. It's an easy background show.

I also enjoyed Bad Monkey. It's kind of a B- show, but easy to watch.

Shortesy is a spin off of Letterkenny. Great show, so long as you’re comfortable with some blue comedy.

New season starts on the 24th!

No Good Deed is really good, although it moves pretty slow.

One Hundred Years of Solitude available in Netflix https://m.filmaffinity.com/en/film463641.html

Marvelous Miss Maisle is solid from om beginning to end. Not a minute, scene or note is wasted. The writers know how to pack every scene with as much energy and storytelling as possible. Just perfect.

Second season wasn't the best

! Viktor literally wanted to make an utopia, and he is a villian? !<

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yeah and powder was just trying to free her people. A central theme of the series is good people doing bad things for good reasons. Calling any character a villian feels like missing the point to me.

I don't agree s2 wasn't as good but not for that reason.
