OT: Favorite Bingeable/ Weekly Show Right Now…
- Thread starter tico brown
- Start date
Just finished watching Kaleidoscope and I watched it in chronological order by reading the descriptions. I don’t think it would have made as much sense and things would’ve been missed if it’s watched in any order.
The show was okay but I think I would’ve found it confusing or might have stopped watching if I went out of order.
Just started watching Tulsa king ( episode 4). It’s better then I thought it would be … actually the writing is very good. Some very funny one liners

Loving White Lotus..ready for the last episode of Season 1
IMO, the game had what was probably the best video game plot of all time. They are supposed to be following the game closely as the game producer is working with the show runners.
It was touched on earlier in the thread but Andor on Disney+ was very good. It wasn't overly Star Wars-y so it is good for those who are not totally into Star Wars lore, but it certainly tied in enough for those who are. It does has some modern day, real world influences given the focus on the slow build of insurgency and rebellion, but it doesn't shove politics down your throat which is nice.
It also has very solid acting and while you don't necessarily pull for the bad guys, they are not simply portrayed as mustache-twirling villains, which is refreshing.
It is not overly reliant on special effects so visually it is very well done - although some fans complained about the lack of Jedi, aliens, lightsabers and such. I'm not saying all Star Wars should be like this, but it was very enjoyable and a nice change of pace. I highly recommend checking it out.

We just started watching Yellowstone, addicted!Finished 4 seasons, started the 5th.
Watched the first batch of “1923”, prequel to Yellowstone, with Harrison Ford.
Supposedly the most expensive TV show ever produced ($30M per episode). It’s ok. The other Yellowstone prequel “1883” is the best TV show that I watched in a couple of years. Do yourselves a favor and watch it.

Probably already mentioned in the thread but the “Yellowstone” spin-offs, “1883” and “1923” are really good.
Posting this again for the current thread.
White Lotus is really good. Highly recommend. Kind of like Succession goes on vacation. Or a cross between Knives Out and Succession (not really a whodunnit). Sort of. But it is great.
This isn't giving anything way with the premise. In the opening scene of both seasons, we learn that someone has died. However, the identity of that person isn't divulged until the very end of the season.
Jennifer Coolidge's casting is so amazing because she is so damned believable portraying a bat-shit crazy rich white woman. [Edit: Credit to RU4REAL for this: Hiring Jennifer Coolidge to play a self-indulgent, talentless idiot... it's like hiring a duck to play a duck.]
I can't recommend this show enough.

What's the best way to watch 1883? Is it only with Paramount + streaming? I'm trying to avoid yet another streaming subscription if i can help it
Not sure if mentioned earlier, and probably not for everyone but if you are a fan of Shameless or the John Waters oeuvre you might enjoy the Canadian sitcom Trailer Park Boys (Netflix). We have gone through about half of the twelve seasons in the past few months and the episodes never fail to crack me and my wife up.
Tried to do white lotus but after 3 episodes, was just bored.
Watching the SOA spin off- Mayans now. Took a couple of episodes to separate from SOA and enjoy but it is a good show.
Not binge watching but am watching a movie from 2007- Cleaner, with Eva Mendes, Sam Jackson Ed Harris- there is a scene at SJ’s daughters soccer game where Ed Harris is in full Rutgers garb- sweatshirt and hat.,,thought it was pretty cool.
BTW- Eva- mole and all, is a yes…

I think it can be true for tv shows. There's so much character development and plot development that can be built upon and it gets better as time goes. I'm not sure how much of that you can see in movies.
GoT was one for me. People told me season 1 was slow but it got much better after that. It did. I'm glad I followed that advice and kept on watching. The show lived up to the hype for me.
I haven't seen Breaking Bad but someone I know watched that and was given similar advice. He's glad he listened to that advice and really enjoyed the show.
it was a few years back I watched BB but if I remember correctly, it was pretty good from the start.
The movies after the series ended weren't bad either.
Agree with @vkj91 about the order but not sure about the one being better. All depends on if there are more seasons to compare as "1883" is really good.
I was surprised how convincing Karsinski was as an action lead. Solid IMO.
We do that sometimes even for Irish shows. And this is someone, me, who had an Irish grandmother and a few parish priests from Ireland.

I’m watching Sons of Anarchy. I know I’m extremely late to the party, but wow…great show so far.
I just finished it last month. Loved it. I then went straight to the Mayans which took me a few shows to start enjoying because I like SOA so much but you quickly get into the new characters.
Episode 3 was strangely a gay version of “The Notebook”. This show is pretty slow-moving.
Don't feel bad, I've been sick the last 5 days and finally started watching Game of Thrones. Buzzed through 4 seasons already, its really good for those who haven't seen.
I did the ame and as much as everyone said I would hate the ending- I knew they must be wrong. No spoiler- great show but they were not wrong. lol rivals the ending of Sopranos...
