General TV Discussion and Thread for Shows Without A Thread Thread

OOTV doesnt like family comedies much huh? Raising Hope and The Middle are two of the best(possibly the best outside of NBC)comedies on tv yet no threads.

Just an observation.

I just started season 2 of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, written by Douglas Adams. Lots of absurd characters and shenanigans.

I remember liking season 1 but the fact that it got cancelled made me not want to continue it.

s1 was good! Tell us about S2.


oh wow jusut ended the pitt's ep 1.

Great show. Exciting.

Im guessing it doesnt represent the regular wait time in US hospitals, this feels more like a free hospital or a canadian one?

This evening my wife and I started watching "The Substance". My first reaction is that this is a 2 1/2 hour Black mirror episode. The vibes are strong. Pretty good movie.

Okay, I watched the last 1/3.

It's actually not far from accurate for walk-in wait times in US urban hospitals.


I haven't watched the show ya'll are talking about, but yeah, emergency rooms in good ol' USofA are the free hospital/doctors office.

Second season of The Night Agent out.

I've not actually seen it, just got it confused it with The Night Manager, which was brilliant, and also has a second season coming this year.

I finished it, but kinda half watched and skipped in places. Needed to cut about 4 of 10 episodes. The spycraft is fairly ridiculous, worse than the Keira Knightly show.

Easy skip unless you're dying to find content and loved season 1

the 8-12hr wait time in the show is actually heaven compared to half of canada


i think 6-12 hr wait times in UK and ireland accident and emergency wards is standard too


Agreed on Night Agent being pretty ass, but it's a pretty perfect Netflix show as I'm usually on my phone within five mins


Paradise on Hulu looks good.

Prime Target on AppleTV looks bad.

Night Agent s2 and Diplomat s2 are on my To Watch list.


Dipolomat S2 was decent, on par with S1 I would say. It's a quick burn and worth a watch if you liked S1. Night Agent S1 wasn't great but I'll give S2 a try as well.


first two episode of season 2 of The Night Agent are very, very bad.

The first season was good fun...not sure how it got so bad.


Liking The Pitt. One of the best ER dramas out there. Stumbled upon this on FB if you want a chuckle.

Been watching Pantheon on Netflix

The first 2 episodes were some of the best TV I've seen in a while. Some pretty heavy stuff though.

5 episodes in its still going strong, though has hit some luls here and there


Paradise is not good. Laughable premise with the normal Dan Fogelman emotion-porn.


The Pitt is really good wow


Agreed. Hard to wait until Thursday each week. My only complaint

Is some Aaron sorkin-esque sanctimony in some of the story lines


any of you read Warlord Chronicles from the same author as last kingdom?

I am 350 pages away from finishing the series and i just read that theres a show coming from those books on MGM+ its from a little bit before the last kingdom. Wondering if its as elite as that one.


Also wrote Sharpe about the Napoleonic Wars,, starring Sean Bean and a briefly topless Liz Hurley.

I remember enjoying it a lot, but haven't seen it in 15+ years, so may not as aged as well as Liz!


Finished Reservation Dogs. Top ten show of all times

i've never seen it and plan on it

but i have serious doubts about the historical authenticity simply because everything i've seen written on quora about that era that references that show as examples of what they are writing about how been dead wrong about everything and just spreading factually incorrect information (which is about 2/3 of quora answers where someone watches braveheart and now thinks they are equipped to explain the tactics of the battle of stirling bridge)

you point out - "hey please don't write that this thing was the norm, it probably never happened, and if it ever did would be an extreme outlier"

their response, "bruh it's a central theme of sharpe's so it must be true"
