Tokyo Vice really felt like it ended. I really liked the series but S2 finale seemed really final.
I, too am waiting for more Annika, absolutely love that series!
Can't wait for The Diplomat and especially for For All Mankind & Slow Horses. Agree with you on Three-Body. Tencent did a MUCH better job with it than the 'Flix did.
I'm going back to Apple TV when Silo season 2 comes out. I've read all the books and am very interested to see how it goes. I'll also then catch up on Slow Horses seasons 3 and 4. Love that show, but wanted to get used to dropping streamers periodically and then reupping when there is enough worth watching to pay what they are demanding. I'm still figuring out the process, because I am basically just lazy and don't really need to budget. I just need to find a way to keep track of what shows to watch that doesn't involve a spreadsheet.
As a fey creative type I have to strongly and most disrespectfully disagree. Spreadsheets are of the Devil and they should be cast down into the pits of hell.
This is about gathering data in one place, which is what you use a tool like a spreadsheet for. By all means, go be creative. And no, sorry, you are otherwise wrong.
If everyone could do that, then they wouldn't complain about having a way to keep track of their shows. And talking about me going south sounds for using a different tool than thou sounds vaguely like this whole Christians casting aspersions over the Olympics thing. To each their own is more my motto.
Same, lazy, but now I need to budget so I'm all about trying to bombard one streamer and drain it of all its goodies and then cancel. I need to do this more. I may try this with MHz Choice. So very much looking forward to Silo. You'll binge Slow Horses pretty easily.
I just binged the three seasons of “Horses” in preparation for S4, which is just over the horizon. Thoroughly enjoyable and saw things I missed first time around.
Seems like that's been happening a lot lately, massive time gaps between seasons. I've started to binge the seasons prior in the lead up to the (finally) released new seasons. It's kind of great because you come to the new season with very fresh knowledge of what went before, the inter-relationships between disparate characters, etc.
I agree. I feel like I have some homework to do because it has been so long. It’s such a rich and expansive story over generations. Maybe a rewatch is warranted over the next 4 weeks. Or maybe visit every episode and watch “previously on Pachinko.” Lol.
I completely missed Industry when it came out. That whole 2020 writing my own show thing and trying to stay alive. I see the 3rd season is coming out in August. Hmmm. It would be like discovering something new that's not new, I guess. What do you like most about it?
Too funny,, almost started a Veep rewatch after THE Debate. Looking forward to all of those returns apart from Silo. I know Wool and at the time, it was too painful to watch what I knew would be happening. Maybe at a another point in life.
Taboo Season 2, where are you? We need some help from you now.
After s4 Veronica Mars, just no. Damn you.
I loved The Riches (I was NOT a TV person at the time apart from VM & hbo) and it was so annoying to feel like no one else was watching. Thank you, Bastard Machiners.
Anyone remember Kings? That should have been successful.
I don’t think you wasted your time watching the bad movie! It’s what you wanted/needed in that moment of time. I definitely gravitate to “bad rom coms” and even when I am disappointed hey, that’s a data point. Onward to the next. (My main regret is always, always doom scrolling on social media. A bad movie is fine IMO.)
Okay you have convinced me I need to watch The Thick of It. I already watched and loved Veep and I guess I don’t think it relates much to what is happening now other than yes that is the office. I mean I hope Kamala has zero in common with that character! Spoiler alert, Selina Meyer’s legacy amounts to ending gay marriage. Uhhhh. Anyway The Thick of It is on Peacock. Which has the Olympics right now. I have a mixed take on it. The “live feeds” are so fragile I have to say, don’t touch it once you hit play. Made that mistake during the Opening Ceremony (which was awesome by the way) and I lost the feed and had to wait until the next day to finish. Some tears may have been shed. However there are some interesting innovations. I hit play on a live soccer game and you could click “key moments”: it showed every major play I had missed then put me back live.
I am watching Silo right now!! Two episodes in and I am intrigued. Alas I watched Season 1 of Slow Horses but need to go back to watch more. I loved it but I don’t enjoy bingeing series all at once. I am looking forward to: Babylon Berlin (MHz Choice) once the new season is done and I subscribe, Homicide: Life on the Streets (8/19), What We Do in the Shadows (10/21), plus some network shows coming back in October (Abbott Elementary, Ghosts, Elsbeth). I know you’re not a fan but I still enjoy Only Murders in the Building (8/27/24). Of course what I really look forward to is a show I have never heard of that everyone gets excited about. I love when that happens!
So many good reminders here! And yes, I agree, I'd rather waste time on a movie than on social media doom scrolling (or news doomscrolling). I feel like we've talked about MHz Choice now getting all the Babylon Berlin seasons or am I wrong and the first three are somewhere else?). Might be good to watch that...Never got around to it and everyone loves it.
Babylon Berlin started on Netflix but now it’s off that platform. The full series is on MHz Choice. Season 4 is currently streaming. Looks like there are 12 episodes. And just checking it’s all on there now. I have to wait for a family member to watch. Probably end of August. I will say it’s a definite two episode test show. I just remember finding episode 1 fine, and then after 2 episodes I was totally in.
Oh! Season 1 of Babylon Berlin is on Prime right now. So you can try it.
My wife was already re watching Veep just cuz she’s the sort to re watch a series she REALLY likes…
I’ve seen the whole thing once, I watched ten minutes of a season one episode on her iPad on a flight to Maui and JUST WITH THE SUBTITLES (she was wearing ear buds) was laughing out loud!!!
Good chance I’ll go back…
(She just said she agrees it gets better as the season goes on)
AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE RICHES BACK...I'll focus on ones that, far as I know (per my Word doc, because reasons), are returning:
(the three Apple TV+ Tim already mentioned)
Andor
C.B. Strike
The Diplomat
For All Mankind
Berlin
Tehran (delayed pending world events)
Three-Body (the Chinese one)
Ok I'm hoping these come back:
Annika
Lupin
The Gentlemen
Tokyo Vice
The Outlaws
I am looking at giving Industry another shot - we weren't excited by the pilot but it sounds like it got better.
Saw first episode of new season of Cleo, cautiously optimistic.
Tokyo Vice really felt like it ended. I really liked the series but S2 finale seemed really final.
I, too am waiting for more Annika, absolutely love that series!
Can't wait for The Diplomat and especially for For All Mankind & Slow Horses. Agree with you on Three-Body. Tencent did a MUCH better job with it than the 'Flix did.
But you should never count The Riches out.
Thank you very much for the OG callback regarding the return of The Riches, never not funny.
Enquiring minds want to know...
...WHEN THE HELL ARE THE RICHES COMING BACK!!!

SPREADSHEETS ROCK!!!

Other than that, cool.
This is about gathering data in one place, which is what you use a tool like a spreadsheet for. By all means, go be creative. And no, sorry, you are otherwise wrong.
Why, when I can draw a lovely multi-branched tree with connections that only make sense to me in Adobe Illustrator!
Or just create a list in a text file...
...and still remain firmly on the side of the Angels while you, sir are goin' south...
If everyone could do that, then they wouldn't complain about having a way to keep track of their shows. And talking about me going south sounds for using a different tool than thou sounds vaguely like this whole Christians casting aspersions over the Olympics thing. To each their own is more my motto.
Touché!

I just binged the three seasons of “Horses” in preparation for S4, which is just over the horizon. Thoroughly enjoyable and saw things I missed first time around.
I love re-watching series (and especially films) because I always pick up things that I'd missed previously...
Looking forward to Pachinko S2 (August 23)
I really enjoyed Pachinko but it seems like SUCH a long time between seasons. I'll have to reacquaint. Memories are vague. (Shocker).
Seems like that's been happening a lot lately, massive time gaps between seasons. I've started to binge the seasons prior in the lead up to the (finally) released new seasons.

Kleo S2 is out!
Wait whhhhaaaaaaat? Holy hell, totally missed that it came out this week!!
ON IT
It's a Great Scratching Post!
Industry
I completely missed Industry when it came out. That whole 2020 writing my own show thing and trying to stay alive. I see the 3rd season is coming out in August. Hmmm. It would be like discovering something new that's not new, I guess. What do you like most about it?
the music, the vibe, the memories :-) https://youtu.be/BL_5VQwSkTQ?si=JPTFk0Vf8bdGceoJ

Deep in the vault here! There's some talk in this house of a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" rewatch.
That's all well and good but when are The Riches coming back?
I feel like there was a bit of the Travellers life in The Gentleman.
But not The Riches!

I forgot about Silo.... Fun watch.
You never know, the way TV has been these days, "The Riches" has a shot. Heck they almost brought back "The Facts of Life" lol...
I have so many that I'm waiting to come back probably too many to mention, but I'll try:
What We Do In The Shadows
Umbrella Academy
The Sandman
Ghosts
Only Murders in the Building.
Good Omens
Poker Face
The White Lotus
I guess that wasn't so bad. BTW I'm on season 4 of The Wire and can't belive I haven't seen it before. Thank you again!!!
A lot of people rank S4 of "The Wire" as the best of the 5. It's so great.
That's a damned fine list, sir, I'd add Good Omens to that list, I know that the final season is in process (and maybe even getting close)...
That was in the list, Sir. :) I did forget Yellowjackets and I'm sure many many more. :)
My wife was already re watching Veep just cuz she’s the sort to re watch a series she REALLY likes…

(She just said she agrees it gets better as the season goes on)
There are so many good lines in that show that it's essential to have the subtitles on. This made me laugh because I can picture it.
