The TV thread

[Songbird]

I hope they bring Tehran back on Apple TV. They paused out of respect to 10/7 and the aftermath but let's be real, the entire show is based on that exact kind of event.

Have you started Watson? want another opinion. It feels like a cheap knockoff of House and a cheap knockoff of Sherlock Holmes which feels hard to pull off. The latter (of the books) inspired the former. I want it to be more than it is.

I caught one episode - I found it to be kind of meh. Too serious for me to vibe with given the acting talent involved. Chestnut is fine, and it feels like they cheaped out on everyone else except Moriarty and the voiceover for one character.

Suits LA might have been one of the worst pilots that I've ever seen. Incomprehensible

Based on the previews I've seen, it looks like they are just trying to recreate Harvey Spectre, with awful results.

It was a lot of beautiful people overacting. And the plot simply made zero sense.

Won't watch it. If they had moved the old cast west yes. I have no desire to try a reimagining

It was a bizarre hour of television to me - Like they were only attempting to channel the dreary, late seasons of the show that (I thought?) made people like it a lot less. Suits is fun when it's hot people and some levity tackling legal challenges. The first few seasons focus on Mike and Harvey's relationship, Harvey and Donna, and Mike falling in love with Rachel. There's a levity to most of the early episodes that gets less and less prominent as the show goes on.

Donna ruled! Also liked Louis. Harvey was stylish and Mike a total drip.

Anyone watching Paradise on Hulu? Last night's episode was the most gripping hour of television I've watched in ages, just incredible writing and acting. Nearly a day later and I still can't shake it.

Just watched Ep 7 of Severance; I'm seriously frustrated, too schizophrenic for me. I understand jumps but it's way too much IMHO.

I thought it was a masterpiece. The show has kicked into overdrive after a sluggish start to the season. Episodes 4-7 have been incredible. It was lacking some of the emotional resonance it needed and episode seven got there.

I'm no longer afraid this was "Lost" all over again. This was more like reading a novel, and I mean that in the best possible way.


It went from clever sci-fi mystery box show to an actual resonant thing with a heart this week. Incredible direction by Jessica Lee Gagné.

The miscarriage scene was personally triggering for my wife and I, but it got to heart of what that feels like.

The Buddhist tie-ins and allusion to this being an allegory for how memories work in our mind have me kinda buzzing and are themes ai can sit there and think about for hours.

The amount of shouting over the term "name partner" grew exponentially. That's when I dropped out.
