Edgar Wright's not involved at all with this one, right? My wife and I watched the first four episodes and are really enjoying it. We both really like the ghost story/haunting type movies, so this strikes a big chord in that way. @Bohnjaggs Julian Barrett's character is great, and not what I expected at all from him!
I absolutely adored Ted Lasso. Wholesome is the perfect word for it, and Jason Sudeikis has never been better. It might not be laugh out loud funny but the humor is subtle and sublime.
Ted Lasso!
Is that one easy to watch without AppleTV? I can torrent stuff... but I’m lazy
Cheers, it’s my favorite all time. I remember watching as a kid but man is it great as adult. We watched all the way through a few years ago and it has been in heavy rotation since. We’ve probably watched it all the way through 4 or 5 times now. Also, I might just sound like an aged Millennial but I don’t feel enough people of my generation or younger give it enough of a chance.
Never watched Cheers, that one doesn’t feel dated at all?
(even own the DVDs), great shows

also I watched Happy Endings and Party Down when they aired
I never finished AP Bio but it was nice.
I was thinking about this watching the latest episode yesterday and even though I really liked Mel and Sue, I thought Matt and Noel were really funny. They do absurdist comedy they just works in that setting. Prue is fine, I miss Mary because she’d have a lot of one liners/phrases that are fun to hear; “no soggy bottom”, “that’s a bit of alright”, “nice layers (said like “lairs”)”, “that’s scrummy”.
Yeah so much of what Mary says just makes me happy. Prue never really makes me that happy. I find Matt and Noel just I guess different than what I got used to. They’re fine, but they usually don’t do much for me and seem like they are more irritating than they are encouraging. Though the bond between Matt and Laura is a nice little thing I’ve noticed throughout the season.
I find Matt somewhat irritating, but I think Noel is great. Probably helps that I'm more a fan of The Mighty Boosh than GBB though. It does really seem like they manage to make the bakers feel better when they're upset, they just like to poke fun too and they probably air more of the latter.
I enjoy that Cheers is “of it’s time” in look and style but the jokes and even a lot of the archetypes represented are for the most part timeless. It’s really well done and chocked full of jokes. It’s actually a three camera comedy filmed in front of a live studio audience, two things that are not super common anymore but when you see one this well done you understand why this was pretty much the standard for sitcoms until the early 2000s.Never watched Cheers, that one doesn’t feel dated at all?

I refuse to watch the new crew out of solidarity.
I actually kind of love Noel and Matt, but they cannot replace Mel and Sue, only succeed them. Prue is whatever. Mary is the best.
