Television

My fiance and I have been re-watching Malcolm in the Middle and are about 5 episodes from finishing. I NEVER watched it live, however I watched episodes around the time it aired after school in syndication around 4/5pm when it aired. I thought for sure there'd have been one or two episodes I haven't seen but I really did see them all. I forgot how funny it is, it holds up pretty well almost 20 years later. Every character is hilarious but my favorites are Hal and Dewey. It is a great "throw on" show but also worthy of your full attention. If you're reading this and have never seen it, do yourself a favor.

I'm really digging S2 of Winning Time!

Same, I am a bit anxious about it. It can’t be a cheap show to make and no one seems to be talking about it. Makes me worried that it’s gonna get cancelled. I hope not because it’s a joy to watch but given the state of HBO I am not holding my breath.

We did this a couple years ago. It’s quite good and holds up quite well.

Finally started Silo. Impressions after the first episode are that I'm intrigued by the premise but the script is, uh, kinda mediocre?

Very excited to re-subscribe to Hulu in a month or two and binge The Bear S2 and Only Murders S3.

Don’t forget Reservation Dogs and Justified, Hulu/FX (I don’t know which is which anymore) has been killing it all summer.

The central mystery *is* interesting. It's just that the apparatus holding it up is a little shaky.

But in terms of dodgy accents, she's easily the worst offender IMO.

I read the Wikipedia summary (of the book series) after seeing the trailer and decided it all feels a bit Lost-y to me, decided to pass on the series.

Oh yes, Reservation Dogs has also been on my list. Justified I'd be starting from the beginning, so that's going to be a larger commitment.

I forgive her anything

Very, but with the benefit of knowing where it's going from the start. So it's got the same feel, but the plotting is much tighter.

This comparison kind of surprises me. Having watched both I don't see a similarity, but I haven't read anything about Silo so I only know what happens in season one. I really enjoyed it, but I always tend to enjoy dystopian stuff.

I am enjoying the setting, but some of the dialogue is *rough*.

This seems to be a problem with a lot of shows for me lately. But I've been watching so many foreign language shows lately with odd translation choices that I'm getting used to it in English shows too. It's forgivable with transitions, but I think there's a ton of bad writing and rushed production being done.
