What TV shows are you currently watching?

Modern Family is one of the best comedies ever made. Such a great cast and brilliant writing. Followed that show from the very start to the very last episode and was gutted to see it go.

Well, it's now on Hulu in the USA...

Not for long I think...should move to Disney + there too soon I think as ABC is part of the Disney group and they want to have all of their shows under one site.

[Zzzptm]

Well, we got the Disney+, as well.

Worst case, there's the Iranian version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA2X053rT-Q

Terrible show, I wanted to watch all 6 episodes. all the trends of the moment are there:
Cancel and woke culture with Captain America One (I say no more, I do not want to spoil ...) and the final speech of the Falcon dripping with this cultural slump that is becoming the norm everywhere.
Systematic self-flagellation with evil white racists and colonialists. A real plague these guys. we had a Captain I, but who badly digested his return to quantum space-time by getting a little older at the end of Endgame, then Captain II (yes, yes, I still can't believe my eyes, what a casting error !!!) and to finish, Captain III BLM. truthful.
The no border antifa with the slogan "one world, one people", all good people of course.
The entire special effects budget was balanced in the first episode, worthy of the best avengers, to end up in natural settings without makeup, without costumes, without anything. Worse than Highlander tv show in the 90's.
I finished this show very, very annoyed. What world are we getting ready to live in ?
Tiring .

I don't have a model train set, but I love watching Sam's Trains because I *wish* I had a model train set. And this guy does the occasional science experiment for extra fun:

Just finished season 6 of Bosch....gotta say it is extremely rare for a show to have this many great seasons one after another...not a single bad season yet. It just makes it even more sad that the 7th will be it's last...but there's talk of a possible follow-up series but who knows...hopefully it'll happen.

So went for another Amazon original with ABSENTIA starring Stana Katic from Castle. After the first two episodes I'm bit on the fence...love Stana but this show is quite different from Castle that's for sure. Also the story moves along bit slowly...but the premise is interesting as is the story...so far though there's been bit too much of personal drama and not enough of the actual story moving along...but I'm hoping it'll pick up a bit soon..

I don't remember which is the last French tv show that I really enjoyed.
the theme of the medical world worried me a little but I was wrong. It's a total success: the acting, the staging, the social context, everything is perfect.
the name of Hippocrate comes from the hippocratic oath that all doctors promise when they have their diploma : heal and only heal whatever the patient is.

The Handmaid's Tale season 4.
One of the best tv shows of this last decade with The Walking Dead, Homeland and Game of Thrones.
the 4th episode is speechless.

[Tyr66]

Where we can regret that feminist lobbies are at work everywhere nowadays , reducing man to an unhealthy, venal and toxic person , this tv show is very good.
Surprising Eric Bana with a disturbing and chilling acting.
based on real events taking place in Newport Beach.

Fucking loving season 3 of MR INBETWEEN

It’s just so bittersweet that it’s ending though. I implore anyone that has access to FX or Hulu to give it a go from season 1. You won’t be disappointed.

[Zzzptm]

^ Interesting suggestion there. I'm always intrigued about evil people watering their lawns. By that, I mean that my favorite scenes in Brazil were where Michael Palin's character was being a dad to his kids and petting his dog. We do a disservice to portray evil as a monolithic sort of muhuhahahaha scenery-chewing sort of character because, in real life, we *all* have to shop for groceries, pay bills, deal with crappy internet, take vacations, buy gas, deal with sneakers blowing out on us... and because there's not that much difference, we see how easy it is to cross between criminal/legal, ethical/unethical, good/bad, moral/immoral.

Which is why I also love the Mike Ehrmentraut character in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul so much. The scene where he tells the pharma employee that he's now a criminal is excellent. "I didn't say you were a bad guy. I said you were a criminal."

My current watching with the missus is Season 5 of Kim's Convenience. There's some awkwardness in the Jung character not being in the scenes and how a breakup just kinda happened in the break between seasons 4 and 5, but the characters of Mr. and Mrs. Kim are still as strong as I like them.  Also looking forward to Season 3 of Dead to Me coming out.

Season 2 of  “Superwog” just hit

 

 

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

LOL! With that title it would never get broadcast in the UK. I'm guessing "wog" has a different meaning in Austrailia. It's a derogatory term for a black person in the UK, almost as bad as the N word!

[Zzzptm]

Lol, sort of an "It's Always Sunny" kind of vibe.

I just finished season 1 of Bosch - loved it, thanks to Charger for the recommendation.

Wife and I are going through Clarkson's Farm. This is an EXCELLENT show as it shows a reality of farming life that is neither romanticized nor demonized. And while Clarkson has plenty of cash to deal with losses, the problems he faces in terms of weather, injury, regulations, and market conditions all are ones that other farmers have to face without the kinds of cash reserves that Clarkson has.

It also points out reasons why industrial farming - especially in meat and egg production - is the way it is. The industrialization may be cruel, but it also removes many of the risks that go along with traditional methods.
