What Are You Watching in 2019 (or re-watching)???

[muwarrior69]

I'll be watching the women's soccer championships. First USA game is Tuesday, June 11. It will be on FOX.

Just finished 2nd season of Fleabag.


Easily the best show of the year.

I'm on the fence after the first two episodes... a shameless, fourth-wall breaking, morally flexible, sex-obsessed character for whom you can't help to feel sorry. 

It's basically what Deadpool would be if it was set in England and no superpowers were involved.

And if Deadpool wasn't garbage.

I read that the creators of The Good Place announced that they have decided that the upcoming Season 4 will be the final season. This is one of my all-time favorite shows, so I'm a little sad to see it go. However, I've been saying since the first season that I hope that the network will allow the writers to "finish" the show, and not just cancel it at some point with no real conclusion. So, despite being disappointed, I am very happy that the show's creators have opted to wrap things up rather than just pumping out new episodes until they get cancelled.

Is that show a parody of Democrat politics or are they serious? I can never quite get it.

Agreed, trying to drag that show along would betray exactly what it is. Some of the smartest TV writing I've seen. The Trolley problem episode is one of my favorite episodes of TV period.

Just finished 2nd season of Fleabag.


Easily the best show of the year.

ok, based on this thread I'll be checking that one out.

I started watching All American since it was based on a real story (former Oregon football player) but after three episodes I realized I'm about 25 years past the target demographic - much too CW.

This.  I am not much of a Marvel fan, but I love Deadpool simply because of his smartassery.

My son has a pretty bad rash the last couple of days, he's been shirtcocking after dinner every night.

I haven't kept up on this thread so apologies if any of these are repeats.  I watched "When They See Us."  Pretty powerful, at times hard to watch.  I thought the actor who played Korey was great.

I watch America's Got Talent ever year.  Always pretty good.

Was just searching through Hulu and came upon "The Looming Tower" about events that led to 9/11 and the rift between the CIA and the FBI.  I'm about half way through it and have found it very interesting and well done.

I watch AGT as well, but it is wearing thin with me.  It's not enough that people are talented.  They also have to be poor, disabled, orphaned, or some combo of the above.

Also, I am getting a little tired of the obvious ringers.  If anyone comes on that show that has a foreign accent, I can guarantee you that they are either a winner or high finisher on another country's version of the show.  I wouldn't even mind if they were up front about it, but they all show up acting like they have never performed in front of an audience before, when you can search YouTube and find them in a clip from "Bulgaria's Got Talent".

A Good American is a fantastic documentary if you haven't seen it.

Another strong season of Stranger Things

Another strong season of Stranger Things

5 episodes in, and enjoying it. Edge of the seat stuff.

Also ...

Just finished watching Dead To Me; better than I thought it was gonna be.

[rocket surgeon]

animal kingdom, 4th season.  but i wait until it's on amazon prime(free)  i f' ing hate commercials.  the acting isn't always the best, but the storyline kinda grabs ya and pulls ya in.  one thing that really got my attention was how graphic the sex was.  yeah right, well, what i mean is, this isn't hbo.  this is on regular tv(tnt)  it's essentially softcore porn.  now before ya'll think i'm being too virtuous, i haven't watched one milli-second of game of thrones.  i'm not complaining, but just in awe of how far they've been able to push the envelope

[MU82]

As previously mentioned, Mrs. 82 and I have been enjoying season 3 of Stranger Things.

We can't help but laugh that they show a warning at the start of each episode that the strobe lights  might cause seizures, but that there is absolutely no warning about the grisly, gruesome, bodies literally exploding violence in each episode.

[brewcity77]

Good first episode of Stranger Things. Will probably take us 2-3 weeks to get through it all.

Fleabag was great. Just watched it all and Phoebe Waller-Bridge is fantastic. Her mannerisms, the expressiveness of her face, I can't exactly place what it is about her but she's an incredibly charming, engaging actress. Would love to see her in more stuff.

[Jables1604]

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Sneaky Pete Season 3 was very entertaining.

[LloydsLegs]

Finished Sneaky Pete last night, and agreed.

BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO LIZZIE????  She dove for the diamonds, and then....

Pete's walk away down the beach at the end can mean the end of the series...

(I just looked it up; series cancelled.)  Also, the reason all the characters wound up in CA was a $9million tax credit!

Finally, the Ricky Jay tribute is not particularly well done (though it was a nice touch to have Mark Singer in there- he wrote the 1993 profile of Jay in The New Yorker--I remember reading that at the time and becoming somewhat obsessed with him; lots of good stuff on YouTube).  I did notice that he must have died before the last episode--you never see his face, only the back of his head from a distance.  His death resulted in some serious re-writing of the last con scene. 

[Jables1604]

How great was Ricky Jay in Boogie Nights? The driveway scene with him and William H. Macy  was perfection.
