Got an idea for next month's banner?
Severance is so good by the end of the season, can’t wait for the next season.
We just finished Fallout, 3 Body Problem, and Shogun and enjoyed all of them.
Looking forward to Apple TV’s Dark Matter, based on the Blake Crouch book (which was pretty good too) starting this week.
Sounds like we have similar taste! Funnily enough, I couldn't get into Shogun though.
We kinda just continued the Japanese theme we had going. We had watched Giri/Haji > Tokyo Vice season 2 > Shogun. I had read the book when I was a teen, so it was nice to see it on screen.
Just finished S02 of The Wire. Absolutely incredible so far
Masterchef Australia Season 16. It was nice seeing Jamie Oliver on screen again. The new judges and participants are interesting too, and although it's still very early in the season, they've already put out some very clever dishes. Can't wait to see what else they come up with over the rest of the season!
Holy crap, they're up to 16 seasons now? Unreal!
Fallout is great. I wish there can be a great adaption of Bioshock too
Also, The Night Manager is fantastic.
Ooh, hadn't heard of the Night Manager. Looks good, Cheers!
I have been slowly going through game of thrones, I guess I am a bit behind the times.
There's some superb television in that series. Yes, the final season gets a bad rap, but it's still worth watching. Enjoy!
The last two seasons were disappointing.
There is some truly great watching in GoT, but Westeros is a terrible place to live and not just for the peasantry.
I don't watch that much so it takes me forever to get through things, but I'm currently working on Star Trek Lower Decks season 3. I have also started watching Babylon 5, but it's a sci fi show from the 90s so it remains to be seen whether it still holds up. I'm only 2 episodes in so it's hard to say, but I suspect it will only be a good watch if you're nostalgic for 90s sci fi.
I've also recently watched through all of Star Trek Picard, which was decent enough but it was basically about getting the old crew back together so if you haven't already watched Star Trek: The Next Generation then you'll probably not enjoy it as much.
Lots of Star Trek on my list but only cause they are really pumping them out these days. Also started watching 11.22.63 a while back but got distracted. I enjoyed the book (a recent-ish Stephen King novel) and it's got a decent rating on IMDB so should be a good watch.
b5’s first season is all setup. it getsgoing a bit later on for some of the best tv ever imo
I look forward to it!
I also enjoyed 11.22.63 - didn't realise they'd made a series of it. Nice.
I don't really watch much.
Currently watching For All Mankind, just finished season 2.
Oh man, such a good series.
It is pretty good.
Alt-history space race is kinda fun. Kinda wish that humanity kept up the presence on the moon like it is depicted in the show.
