i sat here and watched the entire thing laughing my ass off, this is great :joy:

bit of an odd pick, but i rewatched most of Scrubs for the first time since high school and i forgot just how funny and outright heartwrenching it was. the music is the highlight for me though, it feels as 2000s as it looks. lotta adult contemporary and acoustic rock that’s a complete blast from the past for me nowadays. i think props go to Zach Braff for most of whatever got picked to get played cuz it matches the same sorta atmosphere Garden State had

Just binge-watched 2 seasons of “The Devils Hour”. Not new. But i recommend it.

I watched Foundation season 3 twice in a row to catch all the foreshadowing/hints I ignored or brushed off on the first run

This Series needs to be watched several times too. You can be lost easily if you don’t pay attention. I like complex Series.

Loved Treme. And I loved Frenchmen Street, and Tipitina’s, both of which lived up to the expectations set by Treme, and my (at the time) obsession with The Meters, Galactic, New Orleans brass bands and more.

I did visit at Jazz Fest time though, which might account for my different experience from @re5et .

I’ve binged ‘only murders in the building’ , I enjoyed it a lot too , Martin short is perfect for the role , Steve Martin is very good and so is Selena Gomez who I wasn’t familiar with ( apparently a singer and very wealthy )
Good supporting cast … series 5 is close to ending atm .

“Task” with Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey is great. Mini series, last episode will be aired this week. Same creator as the “Mare of Easttown” mini series few years back which I also recommend.

A plea to TV people - more tightly made impactful limited series please, less regular old school TV structure that has season after season of more filler than a McDonald’s “hamburger” and perpetually unresolved plot points, rinsed out for max ad revenue, dragging it on until your tired writers come up with an extremely unsatisfying ending.

I think Devs fits that bill, a great watch. Annihilation was great, too. Alex Garland directed both - Apparently he’s working on an Elden Ring movie show, too. Seems in good hands.

If you can track down the old MTV Aeon Flux cartoons, they’re well worth a watch - very psychological and philosophical, voyeuristic.

I enjoyed Raised by Wolves for the couple seasons it aired, shame it got cancelled.

I’ve been gaming more heavily lately and had been considering a break, and kinda realise TV shows would probably fill the gap.
