Television

I keep meaning to start or keep on with a dozen shows I have started....but on the nights I have TV time, I keep going back to my re-watch of Mad Men. It's so excellent.

I am two episodes into Years and Years, two into Dark, halfway through Big Little Lies, stuck somewhere in Battlestar, I haven't started Handmaids S3 yet, Fleabag is on the short list, as is Killing Eve. And, Ozark S2 seems like one I should watch. I guess that's what winter is for.
Those are all excellent shows! I think Dark and Fleabag my favorite and easiest for you to binge. Battlestar is amazing but will be more of a commitment. I actually liked Ozark S2 better than S1.
 
I finally got started on the first season of Mindhunter. I'm on the fourth episode. Does this show ever get a plot or, like, any dramatic tension? It's a sort of interesting story, I guess, but does this eventually lead to them actively investigating something or does it continue to just follow them getting an incrementally more sophisticated understanding of serial killers?

This will be an unpopular opinion. But your questions are why I didn't really like the series. The acting was great. But I was really bored.

I know it was renewed for a 2nd season. I don't think I'll watch it though.

Yeah I had really been looking forward to it, partly based on how enthusiastic @6od always was about it. But it wasn't what I expected from David Fincher, and it doesn't seem to have anything to drive the narrative so far. Hoping the cold open of the third episode
The guy walking out of a house and getting into an ADT van -- I'm assuming that's supposed to be a young BTK or similar? He obviously stays active for a long time, in real life.
is an indicator of a larger plot, because right now there's not really any central conflict to the story.
 
I usually have a hard time with shows this dark, but I appreciate that they don't go over the top with the gore and such.
They don't and I like that. It's more about getting into each other's minds.

So um, maybe don't check out The Boys if you don't like gore. It's gore. A lot of it. In a kill bill way but still.
 
There's a Spanish series on Netflix called La Casa De Papel (The house of paper? I have no idea how they translated it) that somehow it's a huge success here in Argentina. So season 3 started a couple of weeks ago and I found I had nothing interestin to watch so I thought why not.

I'm going to say that since I started watching it, I haven't taken any Ambien to go to sleep.
 
I decided to start binge-watching Invader ZIM for the first time in a while in preparation for Enter the Florpus. It's still so awesome, incredibly funny and lovably bizarre. I adore it <3
Is it on Hulu or something? Would like to get some nostalgia in before watching the movie.

For anyone watching The Boys.. I knew the store Hughie worked at looked familiar - that's because it's literally just down the street from me. Saw them setting up to shoot it but (dumbly) assumed it would be for some low budget canadian shit show that i'd never watch so i didn't bother to see what was going on. my loss i guess.
