Finally started watching Reacher, which is good fun.

Enjoying the first few episodes of Fallout.

And getting back into Arcane Season 1. I don't know why it's not grabbing me as much as I feel like it should.

I'd say give Arcane about 3-4 episodes. If it doesn't capture your interest, maybe it is not for you. I wasn't into it at first but once you get a bit more into the storyline and character development, not to mention the music and artistry of the animators, it gets quite good.

I'm on episode 7. I definitely appreciate it and I want to love it but at least I like it enough to keep going.

I will likely finish the show, but I find that I'm losing track of who the characters are. They've introduced so many and I never played the games.

The art is beautiful

Just finished the 1st season of Sherlock. It's been loads of fun! I just can't watch it drunk or high lol I get lost when Sherlock speaks a million miles per hour

i just binged the entire run of jonathan creek this week and im super annoyed there isnt anything else quite like it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Hmm I haven't heard of Jonathan Creek, I'll have to check that out after! Maybe I'll miss Sherlock and want to watch something that scratches that same itch

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

its definitely a little less polished than sherlock, but i love the 'reluctant genius solves impossible crime' trope

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Slow Horses scratched that itch for me somewhat. One of the better shows I've seen in a while.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I've been watching Jonathan Creek too - the first series was kind of annoying in that the female sidekick was portrayed as constantly eating, just shovelling food in, presumably to indicate she was "fat". Second series the sidekick is a petite blonde, so no annoying chomping.

The plots are a bit repetitive - locked room mystery, mild peril to our heroes, Jonathan gets "that look" on finding a seemingly random connection/clue and bingo, solves the whole thing. But enjoyable enough.

Have to speed read the subtitles too!

I just finished season one of Star Trek Lower Decks. I can't believe I slept on this series for so long. It's great!

Just started watching High Potential on Hulu with Sweet Dee. It reminds me a lot of Lucifer but it doesn’t quite have that same charisma. Thankfully some good shows in the thread that I can maybe check out instead.

Landman. Just finished Discovery of Witches - ok show that ended blah. Dexter- not as good as the original.

I've been into Korean historical dramas lately but "Eternal Monarch" I watched isn't really a historical drama kind of mixes it with sci Fi.

It was pretty good! I did have to skip through a lot of the sappy romance bits that went on for way too long though.

After finishing Arcane I am mid season in Secret Level TV Show... Oh, and also started to watch Silo!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Silo! Found the pacing a bit slow though so picked up the books too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I've been binging The X-Files with a friend, half way through season 2 and it still holds up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I watched the first episode of Animal Control season 3, and I'm excited for the rest of the season.

Otherwise some other shows include bits of Silo, Black Doves, Arcane, and Secret Level. Of those I might drop Black Doves and Secret Level.

I also rewatched season 1 of Altered Carbon
