What TV series are you watching?

[Manticore]

I usually post a lot of movie stuff but, because a lot of those have been first-run at cinemas..... well the cinemas have been closed lately.

I have got a lot of movies on bluray and DVD that have been borrowed from people recently but I seem to be catching up on a lot of TV series.

Project Blue Book season 1
Supernatural season 15
The Mandalorian season 1
War of the Worlds season 1
Better Call Saul season 2 and 3
Operation Buffalo mini-series about nuclear testing in Australia but a fiction using the history

I've got a few Marvel and DC series to get stuck into.

 

[NeoNite]

Breaking bad season 4.

Black books. I wish there were a billion seasons of this.

 

[Hadmar]

I'm currently watching Better call Saul season 5 with very slow progress because I watch it while I commute which is currently about one day per week.

The last thing I finished watching is Beastars season 1 which I went in knowing almost nothing about.
If anyone had told me what genre this show is (slice of life, coming-of-age, high school drama) I wouldn't have bothered because that's just not for me.
If anyone had told me that the main protagonist is such an accurate representation of an

introvert

that an anthro wolf turns into the, by far, most relatable character I've ever seen anywhere, I wouldn't have believed a single word.
If anyone had told me that the story of a

wolf falling in love with a rabbit while struggling with his instincts that drive him to kill and eat her

would make me care about romance in media, a thing I haven't given a hoot about in the last 40+ years, I'd have told them they are completely nuts.
The world building, characters, presentation, music, story... everything is so bloody well done that this turned into my most favorite show ever.
That is the weirdest thing that happened to me in 2020. And we are talking about 2020.

Jack Ryan series on Amazon!

 

[Manticore]

Started watching this pre-COVID but the series went well into the first lockdown. This was a brilliant doco series:

Country Music is a documentary miniseries produced by Ken Burns and written by Dayton Duncan that premiered on PBS on September 15, 2019. The eight-part series chronicles the history and prominence of country music in American culture.

Bosch, need to work out where I made it to and catch up with it. Really enjoyed the books and its cast very well indeed.

Need some newer shows to watch as I just find myself watching stuff over.

 

[Hadmar]

I'm done with Better Call Saul S5 (I told you I'm slow). Next is Baki (2018) P3. Also slow.

 

[dotnetbeast]

Re-watching all the seasons of Samurai Jack. Copped HBO Max.

 

[Hadmar]

I had an unusual amount of time to watch things.
Finished Baki
Watched BNA in a futile attempt to find another thing like Beastars. Didn't work out at all.
So I re-watched Beastars. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Started Gotham S5
