Watched the first episode of Fleabag and fucking hated it. But I love Killing Eve, so maybe i'll give it another shot.


Def give it another shot.

I second that Phoebe Waller-Bridge is both and amazing writer and actor
Brett Gelman is fantastic too

Oooh, bitch.
Throughly enjoyed the second season of Pose.
And Baskets and we now get the weirdness of Lodge 49
Got hooked about halfway through the first season of Mindhunter. Finished that in roughly a week and expect to finish season 2 by Labor Day. Ain't groundbreaking but thoroughly enjoyable. Fantastic soundtrack.
The Boys. . . Amazon Prime; can't convince any of my co-workers to look past the name.
I thought it was enjoyably compelling and darkly prescient considering the source material was written some years ago.

my man, watched the first episode the other day . . . and literally said, if you don't watch it tonight, so we can starting watching it together, I am going to kill you.

I bet it's good. Huge Karl Urban fan. I'm still living in the dark ages and don't have Amazon Prime. Even if I did, I'd most likely start with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Worth the hype …and my sister is name dropped as one of the characters!

Half,way through episode 1 . . . Holy shit. Great, fucking, show.
I watched quite a bit of Mrs maisel but just don't get the love for that show at all. I did like the scene where she bared her bosom, I could watch that scene a million times.

The boys looks like one of those superhero shows my wife likes to say is why she married me and not some horrible guy who likes superhero shows.

I did give fleabag another chance and though it's overrated, it's still at least watchable. Same with her other show, crashing .

Related but what's with all the boobs in the latest season of Glow? I'm all for boobs (folks, they're great!) but it seemed WAY unnecessary. Good to see gratuitous dick though…more dicks in tv shows imo
About to watch, the final episode of season 5 of Game of Thrones. Oh my God! Shit, is getting real now.

boobs + dicks = prestige.
Amazon's: Undone and The Boys were both fantastic IMO

I stumbled across Deadset on Netflix last night. Low-commitment dark comedy zombie thing. Good times.

I'd say Undone…yes
The Boys …no as there was a super hero element, but it was pretty dark
