What TV Shows Are You Watching?

We just signed up for Apple+ trial so the kids could watch the Peanuts shows. Saw an add for Foundation which looks really good! Also want to catch the Velvet Underground doco.

Is it still full of up-selling? Other than Apple's own originals I found it more annoying than Amazon Prime in the sheer amount of up-selling it wanted to do.

Between my father and me we have two 3 month free trials to use but we were waiting for something worthwhile to blow it on. I watched The Morning Show, For All Mankind (rather dull in the second season in creativity), and Trying (which is a Brit comedy).

The Silent Sea.

I just watched the first episode. It’s nicely filmed and badly dubbed. So far the plot is shaping up a little like Alien, but it hasn’t gotten too far into the story yet.

Too early to give it a rating yet, but I will continue with it.

7/10 though I’m not going to finish it. It is well made but the bad dubbing isn’t helping and the story is moving too slowly.

I made it to ep4 and it is ok, but there are too many other things I want to watch. I think I’ll try Rambo’s fine ass Viking before exploring Apple+.

I received a 1yr trial after I purchased my MacBook in March. I use it every so often.

There is a lot of upselling. Ex. You can watch ep 1 of a series and then have to purchase the rest.

I wanted to rewatch The Affair on Apple TV. After the 1st ep, I have to subscribe to Showtime.

Turns out I can’t watch Apple+ on my device without signing in using my wife’s Apple ID, which is a little scary.

So, I watched the first ep of the Viking time travellers. I’m not so wowed by the female lead, but the show is off to a good start.

My father's 3 month trial from his iPhone 13 is expiring so why not start it because we are going to be locked up by coronavirus.

Watched Trying - second series. Always have a soft spot for London - my old stomping grounds.

In the middle of The Morning show - second season.

Decided to start The Invasion because Golshifteh Farahani is in it. I have to watch it because of her.
 
beforeigners s2 wrapped up. not as good of an ending as s1 but i think they're trying to expand the "universe" a bit so to speak. hopefully it comes back for s3. we don't have a lot of good sci-fi these days.

Started this on Sunday. Not sure if I should continue.

Not sure what to say except it focuses on a set of people who have a hidden past...or can't get go of something in the past.

Didn't complete ep 1. Worth it?
 
I’m enjoying Book of Boba Fett, but it isn’t as good as Mando- which is disappointing.
 
Uhhhh …. So I guess there won’t be another Dexter season next year.

Following the same code he learned from his dad?

That final episode ending was dramatic, but I don’t think it really worked with the existing storyline or set things up very well for a new chapter. But I’ll still watch it if it is as good as this season.
 
Euphoria S2: The plot is such that anyone over 25 is going to groan and want to turn it off. The acting, production and cinematography are such that it is absolutely compelling.
 
The missus is watching the new, very woke, Sex in the City. It's cringeworthy in parts e.g. the Charlotte character is organising a dinner party and realises it's too ''vanilla'' as she's only invited one black couple. Que scenes where she's embarrassing begging other black people to attend. There's other scenes where there's shock that a college lecturer could be black and not white. Hardly plausible that sophisticated New Yorkers could be so niave when it comes to being exposed to different races and successful, career minded black people. It tries very hard to be with the zeitgeist, but it comes across as wooden, mannered and contrived. Very unlike the original.

Never figured you as a Sex in the City original.

You mean like this clothing line? I can see a photographer saying "I got every angle covered mate. LBTQ and every colour."

Meanwhile all of us vomit and wonder what visual vomit this is.
 
Getting through Morning Show season 2.

I have to say as it veers off into coronavirus land it is a bit surreal as a man sitting on a sofa facing coronavirus restrictions to watch a television show that features people facing coronavirus restrictions and they themselves are watching a a television show talking about coronavirus...

I get enough of it in reality.
