Parks And Recreation is a great show.
I actually quite like season 1 for a couple of great moments like the dog poo fight and Leslie's haircut. That being said it really is a better show from season two onwards.
I would say it veers into self satire by the end and the peak is probably seasons 2&3 but on the whole it is one of the better comedies of the last decade or two.

Ron Swanson is top class, as is Jean Ralphio and his sister.

Also the last episode is very well done.
A good example for great finales.

The greatest sitcom ending ever is easily "Still Game".
For a broad show that was never afraid to pander, it came up with the most beautiful ending I think could ever be done.
Wonderful.

Law and Order SVU.

I watched Eastbound and Down last year and will probably start watching “The People vs OJ Simpson” for my next project.

Finished watching the 1980s mini-series, The Far Pavilions, which is based on the book of the same name. It is an "epic romance" set during the British Raj.

To say it is a naff 80s tv series, it was rather watchable, with a big budget for the period and set on location in India. I was surprised to see that even in the 1980s actors were still being "browned-up"; Christopher Lee and other white actors playing the main Indian characters.

Finished The Good Place. Dave, don’t read below.


It was fine. The characters were lovely. But for a show about the eternal conflict between good and evil, and the existential crisis of human existence, it seemed very low stakes.

Starting Schitts Creek now

Where the stakes are even lower

Do a show where Larry The Cable Guy gets to make fun of the LGBTQ community, it's only fair.

There is no "our word" in LGBTQ.

So far Schitt’s Creek is, “what if Arrested Development, but Canadian?”

Enjoying it

Revisiting Netflix's DareDevil with my brother.

That's okay. It did feel non consequential at times. I do remember having a strong reaction to the ending.

Watching the last season of Channel Zero. Fucking criminal that this got canceled but shitty American horror story is still going, 9 seasons strong.

I watched Scrubs throughout growing up, when I got around to the Season 8 it was on Netflix and I watched it thinking the real final season was Season 9, so I watched the finale all confused about why they were making a big deal about goodbyes and stuff if there's a whole other season afterwards. Then once I started Season 9 I nearly puked

Yeah, season 9 somewhat ruins the show's legacy.

I've watched season 1 of Parks and Recreation and I'm coming to the end of the second season. I'm enjoying the show; it started to find its feet at the end of the first season, and has carried on strong since. It has a charm to it that I find very appealing (not just Rashida Jones).

As Seanny mentioned, the chap that plays Ron Swanson is great.

I've watched the first couple of episodes of the sci-fi show, Haven; I'm undecided yet whether I will continue with it.

I'm going to start Falcon and the Winter Soldier, tomorrow, now that most of the show is available.

Never did bother to check out Parks and Rec, it feels like it was created in the wake of The Office and attempted to recreate the workplace mockumentary idea. Which is fine I guess, just didn't want to shift my allegiances over from one show to the other

Yeah, never checked out Parks and Rec either for the same reason.... felt I already had one wokplace mockumentary in my life....

I was late to Parks and Rec for the same reason but I eventually got there and was glad I did.

A very pleasant show.

Yeah, I hear nothing but good things about it

Finally started to watch Daredevil Season 3...... "lol" at this angle of "we can't trust FBI agents who are in financial crisis because they can be bought"-"Well, can I have a raise?"-"No."

I'm currently half-way through season 5 of Parks & Recreation. I think as Seanny said, seasons 2 and 3 are the golden years; season 4 was solid but it does feel like the series is running out of steam now. Even Ron Swanson is not as iconic as he once were.

I've watched season 1 of Yellowstone and I'm a couple of episodes into season 2. If it did not keep descending into melodrama a la Brothers and Sisters or Nashville, it would be a pretty great show; but it is rather watchable, as a result of all the scenery porn.

Sweet Home

Korean show about a zombie apocalypse, except instead of zombies, people turn into weird monsters. Pretty good but omg stop using Warriors by Imagine Dragons for literally every heroic scene.

I pretty much binge-watched seasons 2 and 3 of Yellowstone at the weekend. It is kinda naff, but I enjoyed watching it, partly because of the scenery porn. Bring on season 4!

I have now moved on to season 2 of Billions. Like Yellowstone, it is full of characters that live firmly in the grey-area and are not particularly likeable individuals.

I'm into season 6 of Parks & Recreation, and I feel like I'm only watching it out of habit or out of the need to see it through to the end at this point. I don't dislike it; it still has the charm that drew you in in seasons 1-3, but the magic is now gone.

Been watching "The Leftovers" which is not about food

Could immediately tell it was written by the guy from Lost... just a load of insane questions immediately and no hope of them being answered for ages. Although they do answer some of the big 1s... which is different from Lost

This show is pretty psycho but it's pretty good... the music seems very "pre-Trump"... there was one episode where they kept playing versions of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" which I thought was funny and versions of Pixies "Where is My Mind" plays throughout season 2 which I understand why but come on. The intro to season 2 was a song I like by Iris Dement though which was kool

Really h8 when you can't tell if someone's hallucinating in a show... annoying

About to start the final season now, let's see if they answer the big questions

I bought the first series of The Leftovers a couple of years ago and I still haven't gotten round to it yet.

Someone around here really loved it.... forget who...

me. its outstanding

I also loved it. It's probably in my top 10 series ever. Probably gonna watch it again when I finish my Stargate Atlantis binge.

ive watched it 2 or 3 times. always holds up. season 1 remains a drag. builds too slow. but once the show realizes its going to have a short run it really delivers

Is there an actual conclusion to it though?

Season 3 starts with a bunch of stuff Season 2 should have ended with

Absolutely.

I watching "Invincible" on Prime after completing Mindhunter. Both were excellent.

I'm on to season 4 of Billions at the moment. Now that Paul Giamatti's and Damien Lewis' characters aren't going after one another, the show seems to have lost its bite, but we'll see if it recovers.

I haven't watched Parks & Recreation in about a week; I need to finish it.

Finally finished it.... put off the last episode for the same reason I put off the entire season for years..... because now I'm all "Damn, there's no more"

@LockJaw Are you planning to watch Invincible?

Started watching the first season of Schitt's Creek. It's a bit off that the characters are "nice" even though they're suppose to be selfish. It's probably because they're Canadian.

Please view the "Invincible" thread for my response to that question

Will do. Haven't explored the "entertainment form" yet :y:

Into season 2 and this is still accurate.

Liking it.
