I haven’t watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.

There’s SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.

I’m open to anything, as long as it’s well done.

Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)

I’m scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.

    Avenue 5 is a brilliant dark sci-fi comedy that I cannot stop thinking about. It’s basically a cruise ship in space but then things go wrong. The physics are actually sound which makes for some really fun and terrifying gags. It’s heavy on dark humor, but if you’re ok with that it’s such a fun ride. I am biased but I feel like this show is criminally underrated.

      As a side note, there’s a Swedish movie called Aniara which has a similar premise, except if you replace the ‘dark comedy’ part with ‘unrelenting existential horror and infinite, unfathomable bleakness’. Worth a watch lol

        Alternate take: This show is godawful but for some reason I kept watching. It’s literally unpleasant to watch. Critics also panned it, if you find that of importance.

          Same for me. I found the show amusing but never once laughed while watching it, if that makes sense

            If you didn’t laugh when they came up with the slogan “Together, there are more of us!”, then I don’t know what’s wrong with you.
