Off Topic / Re: What TV show are you watching?
« Last post by VanillaBean on Today at 02:44:42 PM »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!
I was hoping it would survive, but when I checked on it earlier, it was almost uprooted because the broken stems were so heavy, they were trying to pull the dill out. I cut the broken stems off and I'm hoping that it will be okay. It looks brown instead of green though. 
I put a small pellet in the other day and they all came to eat. I changed my mind about the snails and I'm going to get 5 of the sun spiked ones. I have to prep the tank with the magnetic mesh top though, so they can't crawl out. I'm going to scrub what algae I can. Think I'll unplug the heater and scrub that too. The top and sides of the filter housing could use a cleaning too. There's a white build up - lime? Calcium? Something. I suppose I should wipe the light too.
