What's worth watching on the telly these days? |
>> | No. 23182

I don't know if it's just me getting older or what, but it seems like a lot of telly is just fucking shit these days. I genuinely barely watch anything, which may undermine my opinion a bit. The odd series online but that's about it. People always recommend stuff to me and occasionally I'll give stuff a go but I almost always just get bored after a few episodes and fuck it off. Last series I genuinely really enjoyed was the new Twin Peaks, so maybe I'm just a fussy hipster twat. |

I started watching Nathan For You recently and I'm really enjoying it. If you're not into cringe comedy you'll hate it, but the eponymous Nathan does have some very entertaining turns of phrase, and the premise is enjoyable. |

Might be a shot in the dark but can anybody recommend anything light/easy going? Have watched a bit of Year of the Rabbit and will probably continue with that, Toast of London too. I'm just having a lot of mental health struggles at the moment and find I can't watch anything dark or unpleasant as it sets me off down a spiral, and weirdly it's been hard to find things that don't dip into darker subjects and depressing realities. |

Solar-Opposites-Hulu.jpg I've watched a couple of episodes of Solar Opposites but I can't get into it. It feels too much like a bit from Rick and Morty, like at some point it'll just cut to Ants in my Eyes Johnson or Jan-Michael Vincents. |

Rick and Morty has a bit of philosophical depth and mystery to it and occasionally some very clever writing. Solar opposites doesn't have that. It makes up for it with a faster pace and more focused story. The result is something you can watch while you eat your sad bachelor meal when you've nothing else to watch. |

On the subject of (potentially overblown but also quite good) animated TV shows: I enjoyed Bojack Horseman. The worst I can say about it is that occasionally it had moments where it got far too self-indulgent, and others where it was far too "right on", but overall it was a really ambitious series with a great portrayal of a genuine fuck-up trying to be better. |

I'm watching "Justified". It's ten years old but I don't think I can tell the difference any more. Tim Olyphant going around shooting rednecks. It's not the most mindblowing viewing but it's definitely above average. Everything about it is competent at the very least, if the alternative is clicking on random shows to see what they're like then this is a better choice. |

Annotation 2021-03-10 021057.jpg If I like the Expanse books quite a lot, is the TV series worth watching? I'm not one of those people that moans they did things differently to the books (though I'd be very impressed if they managed to make the Hub Station stuff look not terrible), but I'd like it to at least have the same general feel as the novels, if it's all american explosions and gunfights and they cut the character stuff down, I'd rather not. |

The Thin Blue Line is on BBC iPlayer. Yes, the '90s police sitcom. It's terrible but I couldn't stop watching it. I have finished all 14 episodes, so now I might watch something I enjoy, rather than something I enjoyed being angry at. It has its moments, but I doubt it's better than just picking any sitcom at random. |

239361053_the-premise-s01e04-720p-hevc-x265-megust.jpg Black Mirror vibes because all anthologies with contemporary settings seem that way now. Don't start with episode 1 because it's by far the worst so far but some of these are decent. I think it's some of the characterisations (the way the characters are portrayed to show them as realistic humans) that show little flashes of brilliance. Not consistently, but it's there. |
