TV 20 - Sorry no fancy title

Tempest - South Korean/American spy/geopolitical thriller colab on hulu. Like with all shows/movies in this genre you have to at times suspend disbelief, but after the first 3 eps it felt about as real you can get.

Queen Mantis - another South Korean series on Netflix, this one about a female serial killer who while imprisoned is called upon by her cop son to help him solve another serial killer. This one is not as sharp, but it's still quite good after 2 eps.

The Breslau Murders - crime piece set in pre-war Poland. Suspended investigator tasked with 'solving' the murder of a Polish athlete right before the Munich Olympics. Solve the case and get your job back. Fail? Don't fail. I'm only on Ep 1 so far but I very much liked it.
 
Andrew Santino's latest special from the clips I've seen looks like a bunch of dad jokes. I'll still find time to watch it but I hope the entirety of it in context is better.

I started watching "Alien Earth" because a cool anarcho-syndicalist/science fiction commentator I like (Damien Walter) recommended it as the third great Alien movie and the cure for the IP slop of the rest. I am just 1.5 episodes in but enjoying it.

I've always had the intention to try Alien Earth after hearing good things about it. I'm not a big Alien fan. Definitely enjoyed the original movie which was extremely well done. Also watched Aliens, but that was it for me in the franchise. Never had any desire to continue on with it.

Well, since I finished Foundation yesterday, I tried Alien Earth for my lunchtime watch. I like it, so far. Very well done pilot. However, and this is me personally, I'm not a big horror fan, so I could have done without the bug scenes...
 
I will be cancelling my Disney+/Hulu subscription this weekend. Frankly I got it for Marvel and Star Wars. I think this will be my first time joining in on a cancelling of anything. And I never have had Paramount+ despite wanting to watch things that are there for years.

Looking forward to shows coming back online this fall. I still enjoy enough on the "free stations" to get me by. Going to need it this year as I am all but done watching the Vikings at this point (will mostly be background noise in my house while I do other things).
 
Catching up on The Secret of Skin Walker Ranch. Episode 11 of the most recent season, they visit a physicist at Utah Valley University.
 
I was saving the very last season of Bosch (Legacy) cause I didn't want it to be over but I am down to only two episodes left and should finish tonight.

I don't hear anyone talking about Task on HBO but wow what a show.

It is amazing how the older I get the less sports I watch, or even feel like watching. My parents are the opposite. I also have a lot more free eyeball time since cutting WWE completely from my life.
 
The Last Wright - 4-part docuseries described thusly-

Modern-day building codes and materials challenge mother and daughter team, Sarah and Debbie Dykstra, as they take on the challenge of constructing a house from the last set of drawings completed by Frank Lloyd Wright before his death in 1959.

The series reminds you of both is genius and many flaws, but it was still interesting to watch this 60 year-old design come to fruition.
 
SNL 51.01

I like the slimmer (slightly) cast. Bad Bunny was a good host. The musical guest was utter dreck. The surprise appearance by
Huntr/x
was excellent.

The writing was sad and bad. I wonder if the axe fell on more talented and experienced writers as Lorne starts to cut back on his bloated monster.
 
Agree with Kep - 51.1 was so bad I stopped watching halfway through the sketch following the sperm donor sketch. The whole show was cringe to that point. Also nothing against Bad Bunny but he was horrible, but hard to say how much of that was on him or the writing. Even the normally reliable Kenan wasn't very good.

They've had ban openers in the past so hopefully they will find their groove.

Im 3 episodes into Alien: Earth...honestly I kind of hate it. I cant stand most of the characters, the story is beyond slow and annoying (oh cool corporations hating each other!) and it just doesn't feel like this is a story that needs to be told. Hell the 3 hours so far is maybe an hours worth of watchable stuff but the whole time Im just thinking "this takes place 2 years before Alien and somehow no one knows about any of it?". The only part I have really liked is the music choices...

I will probably watch the season...but its going to take a while.
 
So, I'm a huge fan of Law & Order. Been watching it since it started in 1990. I watch the repeats on a variety of different channels. I hate watch the reboot but continue to watch it because I'm a committed fan and I'm holding out hope that my favorite cast member from the last three season of the original run might make a guest appearance what with this being the 25th season of the show.

Any. Way. It annoys me to no end how people think Law & Order and Law & Order SVU are one and the same. I get SVU has been on longer and has Mariska Hargitay - who I really like as an actress and who I respect as someone who has played the same character for 27 years. NBC's Law & Order social accounts, and Wolf Entertainment's social accounts promote her and SVU relentlessly at the expense, IMHO, of the original. Anyway, I'm sure some of you have seen the Tik Tok of people doing that dance to the Law & Order theme song. It's pretty comical. So, on the Kelly Clarkson Show yesterday Mariska was a guest and they brought the guy that started it to teach Kelly and Mariska how to do it. One the Law & Order Instagram account, they showed a clip and called it the #SVUdance. I responded "But it not to the SVU theme, how can it be the SVU dance" The SVU theme music is very similar but it's different. I passive aggressively post a lot on their socials when stuff like this happens. And some lady responds that it's the theme of both shows. I reply and said it's actually a little different so if they want to call it the SVU dance they should use the SVU theme. Which, stupid argument I know. I like engage. She replies again it's basically the same chords and I must be fun at parties. To which I replied "Actually I'm a DELIGHT at parties, thanks for agreeing with me!!!" :)
 
Caught up on the SNL episodes so far this season. Glad they found a way to have Chloe Fineman shoehorn her Jennifer Coolidge into yet another episode. S1 of White Lotus was how long ago? I guess blowing Lorne pays off.

My wife is even worse. She'll hold off watching the very last episode of a show. Drives me crazy, especially when it's a show we watch together.

I find myself doing the same with sports. Though, I wonder how much of that is due to elminating a TV provide (cable or otherwise) when the pandemic hit.
