Office US?
I swear that shite can never be not funny.

Started Man in a High Castle and got blown away with the first episode.

Spoiler:

Yeah man the US version, still miss coming back from work and just putting on a new episode Sad

Might just start rewatching Laughing

Started Parks and Recreations which seems to have a similar style but it hasn't been so addicting yet. Ron Swanson is the funniest character so far.

Still have a comedy void in my life from when I finished binging that.

If anything S2 of VP is darker. Still funny as hell, but much darker than S1.

Finished season 1

Unbelievable show.

Nice, well it did take a dark turn at the end which was an indicator I guess. Gonna watch it over the coming weeks.

Only watched PB early this year, amazing show. I was sceptical going in but man it blew my expectations out of the water.

I also found it hard to get into Parks and Rec, but I've been told it gets a lot better in the second or third season.

Just finished Rectify. Its a good show, some truly great great acting and outstanding character development. There were some boring subplots though.

Lowkey though.....I really like Outlander. Yes, it's more romance-drama centric, but it's just a really well made show. The chemistry between the 2 leads is great as well. Haven't read any of the books, and probably won't, but I refuse to call this a guilty pleasure....it's just flat out good TV.

by McLewis Mon Nov 27, 2017 4:13 pm

Also - Got around to watching the first season of Future Man. Absolutely loved the campiness of this show. A mess plot-wise, but so many quotable lines and truly hilarious situations make up for that.

by CBarca Mon Nov 27, 2017 5:41 pm

Parks and rec is decent but nothing more than that

People today hype it like HIMYM but both are average-ok shows at best. Parks and rec is definitely better than HIMYM though. I just never liked it enough to watch more than an episode here and there though

by McLewis Tue Nov 28, 2017 4:11 am

Never watched HIMYM so I can't compare the 2.

Parks and Rec was fantastic though...like the Office, the characters stood out way more than any particular plot, scenario or situation.

30 Rock's another one like that.....though I never found Tracy Morgan to be anywhere near as funny as people thought he was.

HIMYM from S1-6 was amazing, it just went on for too long. It’s another show I dearly miss.

The first season was really good, Jack Randall was a terrific villain in it. Really need to get back into it if it’s still so good.

The later season lack a villain with his menace, but it's still managed to remain really good. Certainly one of my favorite genre-benders on TV right now.

Decided to watch the first few episodes of Powers. God, what an awful show rofl

Anyone here watched the entire season?

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Dec 01, 2017 5:30 am

Don't know the first thing about 'powers' but I can tell from the title alone it's almost definitely generic, shitty and cringy

Couldn't tell you which season I stopped watching Family Guy. Just stale at this point.

by Onyx Sat Dec 02, 2017 7:34 pm

by RealGunner Sun Dec 03, 2017 12:11 am

The acting in season 2 is even better than season 1 in Peaky blinders.

by CBarca Sun Dec 03, 2017 2:33 am

Wait is family Guy still making new episodes? It stopped being any good like 6 or 7 years ago, maybe longer
