It is bleeped, but it could still be considered NSFW.

Thomas Lennon is the real hero of that episode (he usually is any time he's on screen in anything), but that whole episode was really fun. If you go to their youtube channel page, they have a full compiled playlist for each episode, in the order of the episode. A little convoluted to just watch the full episode, but it works. Probably the most I've laughed out loud at an episode of TV in a long while.
Thomas was actually a producer on the old @Midnight show

The Responder S2, dark, gritty police drama. Well worth a watch.

Sounds interesting.

I'm watching Shogun (2024) currently, I'm at episode 3, and it's very impressive, I truly enjoy the feudal politics and intrigues, and the asian actors are top-notch.

I am about halfway through the first season of Wednesday. It is much better than I expected, so much so that I binged 5 episodes in one go.

The "The Women Who Was Fed By a Duck" episode of Roar. It was my first episode of the show, and it was a bit like watching the very first episode of Black Mirror (the pig-fucking politician episode) as your first episode.

I took another chance on Mythic Quest. It didn't grab me when I tried first, but I'm enjoying it more this time (though I didn't start from the beginning).

I had another rewatch of Person of Interest. I knew from past viewings that the show is very good, but I must say that is also has insane rewatch value. There are so many small details and nuances that really come to shine once you know to look for them. But it's also already brillant on first viewing.
Seriously, this is one of the top 5 TV shows of all time. I say it this way because I have only watched one of the other usual suspects for being up there (The Wire).

Finished. - 8/10. - Nice!I'm watching Shogun (2024) currently, I'm at episode 3, and it's very impressive, I truly enjoy the feudal politics and intrigues, and the asian actors are top-notch.
(Plus) Totally loved the fact that there was no big battle, it was all just politics, intrigues, ruses and changing alliances right to the end.
(Minus) The main actor was wooden in comparison with the finesse of the asian actors, but maybe that was a stilistic choice.

This is a historical drama that is based on Watergate.
I am going to make a small confession, I am intrigued by Nixon and the weirdness around him (not in admiration). I have watched a bunch of movies that are about Watergate, and Nixon in general. Well, this series is less about him and more about the wife of his attorney general, Martha Mitchell. She was outspoken, and then Watergate happened and she fingered Nixon almost from the start.
This is a slightly comical look at the events, but it's well done and engaging. It is so good, I am going to watch it again. 9/10

Dark Matter. Not sure how I never started it before now, as it's right up my alley. I enjoyed it quite a bit, despite not really carrying for the male lead.
Trial and Error. For fans of Parks and Rec and Schitt's Creek, I think it was quite entertaining. And Carol Anne Keene's dirty innuendo-but-not-really talk in season 1? Yes, please. "OK, fine, you win. You don't have to rub my face in it. "Come by this evening, and I will rub your face in it."
Jury Duty. A jury trial where everyone is an actor, except for one person, and he has no idea it's fake. A fun 1-season binge.
My girlfriend had ankle surgery last week, so we've spent a lot of time in the couch these last days.

Kaos on Netflix, with Jeff Goldbum as the Greek god, Zeus. Enjoying it so far.

Seems as good a place to rant as any. I tried watching a recent Wheeler Dealers the other night, because I had seen the V8 Discovery 1 on eBay. At the time of writing this, it's still for sale:
Anyway, I just wish this show would stop insulting our intelligence as car enthusiasts. I want to like Mike but because away from the show he's great, but the show's connection with reality is paper thin sometimes. This show had a few examples.
First off Mike's shown fumbling with the hi-lo selector while test driving the vehicle and claiming it's broken. It's commonly known that the transfer gears have no synchros and sometimes they just don't line up, so no matter how hard you pull they simply aren't going to engage without moving the vehicle slightly. It's normal to have to drop into gear and turn the gears slightly, same as it would be normal to double de-clutch an old non-synchro gearbox.
Elvis then 'fixed' the issue by taking the selector fork housing off the gearbox and prying at it, where it 'came free'. Seeing as Mike was eventually able to put it back in high range during the test drive, Elvis would've been trying to put it back in low range. That was never a problem to begin with but now it's 'seized'. Strangely enough once it went in, the lever moved freely. Of course it did, the gears are now aligned.
Mike struggles to engage low range during the final drive of the vehicle and he's clearly cycling to D and N to get it to engage, but dismissed this as it's 'fixed'.
Elvis didn't check the common weak point of this grub screw on camera, I really hope he did it off camera before reassembling. It's an issue I had on the bobtail.
Later, Mike is buying parts for the car. He's told that due to the leaking sunroof he needs a new sunroof ECU and switch. The switch that's pulled out is apparently the last one in the world, but even with the brief glimpse you get on the show it's clear to anyone familiar with the Disco 1 that this isn't a sunroof switch, it's a common electric window switch. See, the label is in the shape of a front window.
They certainly aren't rare, I have several spares here from Keely and I even used one for remotely controlling some lights.
At the end of the show there's a shot of the interior with the correct sunroof switches in place with the rectangular label. The correct part AMR2471 doesn't seem that rare. I wonder if they were actually replaced.
I know this can be normal for TV to stretch the truth but WD constantly bangs on about jobs that can be done at home, suggesting that the content can be used to learn about the cars featured. That's not much fucking good if it's all made up.

Tires on Netflix.
Watched the first episode a few weeks ago at the encouragement of a coworker, didn't really like it, felt forced and really juvenile. Told the coworker I didn't really like the first episode, he said watch the second episode. Last night I started watching it and, I just can't. The characters are one dimensional, and downright just assholes. I think I'd rather have sandpaper ground into my ass than watch anymore of it.

Ah the old Breaking Bad situation. I watched several episodes and just didn't get into it.
On the other hand, The Expanse becomes a very different show later on but doesn't make much sense without the background. I was hooked from the start but the later seasons might appeal to more people than the opening season.

I'll set through almost any sci-fi, good, bad or otherwise, but if it's supposed to be a comedy and and it's just people being mean to people that are trying to do the right thing, that's not funny.

For me it was the other way around. I found the opening arc much better than what came later.
