The Official Good Television Thread

[Einherjar86]

I just started watching Katla on Netflix. I recommend it for fans of Dark. It has stronger ecological components than Dark, but an equally unsettling premise and atmosphere. Two episodes in and I'm hooked.

Yellowstone's good enough to rewatch? Rarely heard anyone mention it.

season 1 is worth it, season 2 and 3 become cowboy jerk off sessions, gave up in season 3

God damn it. I don't wanna bitch out and stop at the first season again, but nobody is really giving me much reason to do otherwise.

it's OK enough to just keep on, plenty of worse television i've made it through for no good reason

Fair point.

I rewatched the whole series a couple months ago. That series goes down so easy, I feel like I could binge the whole run in a week if I had no other obligations.

This is a huge loss obviously Not the most diverse actor (I guess having a huge scar across your face inevitably leads to some typecasting) but he's made an impression in everything I've seen him in.

I came across this image on reddit and it reminded me that these two actors actually played the same character (PSH in Happiness and MKW in Life During Wartime) and died the same way. Tragic coincidence.

One of my favourite MKW moments is when he was on Opie & Anthony and it took him ages to realise Jim Norton, one of the guys interviewing him, was on Lucky Louie and then he melted down into a fanboy.

Been watching that show Gangs of London co-created and action choreographed by Gareth Evans. So fucking good.

Been meaning to check that out.

I started this random show Netflix recommended me called Squid Game. Death game-type thing where indebted Koreans sign up to play children's games where they die if they lose. A bit trashy but I'm digging it! Kinda reminds me of Kaiji sometimes.

I watched the first ep last night. Tired concept but they made it feel pretty fresh and interesting.

Update: Finished it, loved it. Definitely up there with Battle Royale as one of my favorite takes on the survival game premise. That episode fucked me up.

Up there with Battle Royale? Okay now you have my attention.

Has anybody watched Altered Carbon? Looks interesting.
