[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

Just started watching Dark. It is a mindfuck. Gonna binge this.
The same reason we can’t watch Japanese TV without alternate means — They are clinging to and attempting to perpetuate an outdated model for as long as they can do so.

I think there's an easier explaination: Amazon wants you to pay for two months of Prime for the show instead of one.

I could still just pay for one, when all the episodes are out.
Yes, that's the impatience tax, just like Disney+ airing Mulan as a premium movie until December when it is available to subscribers. Pay now to see it now or wait and see it for less.
Another fine example, yes.
I can't imagine they made much money on this.
There is also the media buzz aspect of delaying episodes. When a new episode comes out we talk about it for like a week. Not the entire series just for a week.
I wish I could se it all at once too, but I don't mind waiting. The Boys is finishing up this week and I've had several days to get excited considering the final scene in episode 7 was insane.

I don't have time to binge watch anything anyway. Sometime during the week I'll go "I'm bored and have nothing to do. Oh yeah, the new The Boys dropped on Friday. I'll watch that."
I'm out of things to do on the weeknights right now, so I guess it's time I binge The Boys. I was hesitating because I thought it was going to be too dark for life right now, like Watchmen.
I did finally get around to watching Witcher a few weeks ago. It was good, although I feel like it started to loose steam in the last few episodes. I've also never played the games, though I'm aware of them, so I have no idea if that effected my enjoyment. However, I don't think I've ever felt this way about any of Henry Cavill's other characters, but Geralt can Get It. Dang.

I was Netflixing yesterday, and put on another movie and @Squidleybits was like, oh my god what now, and I was like, shush it has Henry Cavill in it. And not another peep until the credits rolled.
Honestly, even as a big fan of The Witcher 3 (not so much its predecessors or the books), I wasn't crazy about the show. I thought the pacing was sluggish and it wasn't really that well shot. Very dark and just bland cinematography. I didn't think it was BAD, but I had a very hard time maintaining interest to the end.

Did you watch the Castlevania netflix series?
No, Mr. Z did. I saw bits and pieces, but it did nothing for me.

Dang, that's too bad. That's probably been my favorite new series of the past couple years. Especially the most recent season.
Welp!
Dude’s hot. No shame in that game. I can watch pretty much anything he’s in.
Voice going thin is one of the symptoms of Parkinson's, so here's hoping you're right.

Holy fuck already?!? Hell to the yeah just ain't strong enough for how I feel about this. It's my favorite sci-fi show of all time and yes, that includes the Star Wars/Trek stuff and Firefly.
The Expanse is amazing.
Psshhh, can't hold a candle to Automan.

Been watching a lot of TV with my parents lately and we gave the first ep of this a shot...this sucks right? The first episode just gave me NO confidence, it feels VERY stereotypical for both Americans AND French people, as well as just feeling like a VERY basic sitcom.
