What TV show are you watching?

[shockponie]

I started the anime called The Rising of the Shield Hero, and it’s actually kinda interesting! Not my usual genre, but I like Filo and Raphtalia!

[Taffeta]

I've been watching quite a lot of football (soccer to you US folks, LOL) these last couple of weeks. Seasons coming to the end, so it's all getting exciting. My own team is doing fine, but I like to watch games across the divisions.

I remember Hey Arnold That seems a long time ago though O.o.

Not a fan of Parasyte or Shield Hero.

Hey Arnold came along when I was a little older and I'd started watching Cartoon Network instead of Nick. My favorite Nicktoons were the original group; Doug, Rocko's Modern Life (my fav), Ahh! Real Monsters, Ren & Stimpy, um, what am I missing? Was Rugrats a Nicktoon? Or was that on earlier?

Anyone remember the teen drama on Nick called Fifteen?

Found a promo on YouTube: DRAMA!

I love Rocko’s Modern Life! I have a Rocko backpack. Actually, I love most of those cartoons. That “AHH EEE OO, Killer tofu!” song line from Doug pops into my head randomly to this day! I recently watched some Ahh! Real Monsters, and it’s just good dumb fun. Never heard of Fifteen.

A new Knuckles (Sonic) show is released on Paramount. I’m sure we’ll be watching that this weekend.

I watched Knuckles (eh, it was alright) and A Gentleman In Moscow (loved it!) over the weekend.

I’m watching Fallout on Prime.

What I do watch is a lot of true crime. I will even rewatch specials about murder and stuff. Forensic Files is a go to even though I've seen the whole series dozens of times.

Fellow true crime obsessive here!😁I used to watch an episode or two of Forensic Files every night in bed before going to sleep. I found it strangely comforting. You've tempted me to revisit the show now!
I devour a lot of documentaries on Netflix, Amazon Prime & Sky Crime, although I can be pretty discerning when it comes to quality. Right now I keep meaning to rewatch The Jinx, as the second series has just started airing & I want to refresh my memory.

I'm currently midway through a rewatch of Twin Peaks, including The Return. This used to be one of my favourite shows, but it's not quite as good as I remember. There are moments of sheer brilliance & superb horror, but they're sandwiched in between a lot of badly-acted melodrama & pointless subplots. I'm nearing the end of season two & it's gotten completely ridiculous now. Agent Cooper's still one of my favourite TV characters though. What a guy.
Thank goodness things pick up again with the finale & season three!

In terms of current shows, I'm watching Planet Earth 3. Nobody makes wildlife documentaries like the BBC'S Natural History unit. The camerawork is mind-blowing!
I've also just finished Baby Reindeer on Netflix. Yikes, that was intense. Definitely less comedic & a lot more harrowing than I expected. Terrific performances. The show has been generating a lot of interesting commentary & debate online, along with the inevitable backlash.

I definitely recommend the original UK run of Ghosts! It's got a charming light-hearted tone, while also tackling some heavy themes. Witty writing with nicely fleshed-out characters. The show maintains its high quality throughout all five seasons & is well worth a watch.

Any other fans of Inside No 9 here? The final series starts next week & I can't wait! It's the perfect blend of horror & dark comedy in sumptuous thirty-minute slices.   

Does anyone else have a ridiculously long watchlist that just keeps extending?
There are so many older shows that I want to rewatch too, like the first ten or so seasons of The Simpsons. Those Golden Years are right up there in my favourite shows of all time. It's really gone downhill since; I wish they'd killed it off years ago. They could have learned a lesson from Seinfeld & gone out on a high note!

[BlackCurtains]

Ooh, I didn't know Planet Earth III was out! Yes, I agree. The best nature documentaries ever. They always seem to catch something on film never seen before and I like that it focuses on more obscure animals and places.

[Koudoawaia]

Watched the first episode of Knuckles last weekend. It's...ok. Pretty cheesy and my husband and I agreed we can only stomach one episode a day. We have still only watched the first episode. XP We also started watching Fallout. There's no way I'd ever play the game but surprisingly the show has grown on me.

[VanillaBean]

Ooh, I didn't know Planet Earth III was out! Yes, I agree. The best nature documentaries ever. They always seem to catch something on film never seen before and I like that it focuses on more obscure animals and places.

Whoops, I've just realised it isn't Planet Earth 3 I've been watching. It's actually Mammals! My bad.
I can't wait until the third series is released though! I'd really love a Life of Birds sequel; I'm quite surprised that it hasn't been done yet. I'm an obsessive birder & I need another avian fix!

Oh wait... Planet Earth 3 did come out last year. Somehow I'd completely forgotten watching it. What a goon!

[shockponie]

Yeah Knuckles wasn’t very good, but I watched it all because my husband loves Sonic.

I am trying to finish season 5 of The Circle so I can watch the current season!

[BlackCurtains]

I just watched the first two episodes of Parasyte. So good! At first I didn't think it would be because it jumps around a lot and the CGI is kinda bad for the larvae, but they spent the SFX budget on the head aliens, which look awesome. The story is interesting. Some of the parasytes remind me of the Ganados from Resident Evil 4. They have axe heads on the end of their tentacle and in the game can decapitate Leon with one swipe. No decapitation in the show yet, but one dude got sliced in half vertically

Yumi's Cells!

K-Drama adaptation of this webtoon - https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/yumi-cell/list?title_no=478

My husband and I decided to ditch Knuckles entirely because neither of us like the idea of watching more of it very much. Instead we've watched a few episodes of Monsters At Work season 2 which is fantastic.
