The Official Television Thread
RE: Otter's Official Television Thread
I've never seen any of the Star Trek shows in their entirety. Therefore, I am going to start watching The Next Generation, since it is the highest rated on IMDB.

I've been kinda sorta watching 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'  It's ok, doesn't really grab me. I'm halfway through the first series, I'll give it a few more episodes.

I watched the first episode of HBO's Agents Of Chaos. It was more interesting than I had anticipated. I put it on as something boring to fall asleep watching. I had to turn it off as it was keeping me awake.

The Queen's Gambit - 9.5/10

Watched the first episode last night of this limited series on Netflix & it's intriguing. As someone who loves chess, and has since I was 5 years old, it was, for once, to see actual,somewhat, legitimate chess moves. BTW, don't you, like, love, if you can, Oxford commas, if you must?

Looks like Paranormal is the next show to check out.

Quote:Set in the 1960s, the series, packed with mystery and suspense, depicts the adventures of PARANORMAL leading character Dr. Refaat Ismail, a single hematologist who finds himself faced with a series of supernatural events.

It was good until the very end.

For six episodes, the main character is a skeptic. Then at the very end,

Cannot believe I wasted my time on six episodes just for that nonsense.

Just finished ‘Marcella’, an ITV police drama. The first two series series were pretty impressive, the third seems to have wandered off and forgot who all the characters were and what they were supposed to be doing.

Interesting structure, though. The titular character is a police detective who, under conditions of great stress, lapses into a fugue state (dissociative amnesia). She knows who she is and what she’s doing, but when she comes out of it, she can’t remember what went on. This leads her to suspect that she is involved in some of the murders she investigates.

Dawson's Creek available on Netflix.

I admit to having liked it when I watched it as a teenager in high school, but I probably wouldn't be able to stand the show now.

I am tired of scrolling Netflix and Amazon Prime Video trying to find something to watch (listen to) while I sew.

I went all through Shitt's Creek, which I enjoyed much more than I expected.

Very recently I watched the one and only season (so far) of Russian Doll.

Pretty sure I have hit all the music documentaries/concerts that hold any interest.

There are so many choices and none of them are speaking to me.
