Jake Peralta tones down his obnoxiousness by about 90%, which makes the show a lot more watchable, after season one. I did not find it any more cringe humor than Below Decks. ---

I’ll just start in on season 2 then. When I tried watching it years ago, I couldn’t stand it, but that was season 1. ---

I enjoyed _Girls5Eva_ when I watched it. If you watched & enjoyed _Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt_ and/or _Great News_, you’ll probably enjoy _Girls5Eva_ — it shares a lot of creative DNA with those shows. To a lesser extent, it shares some DNA with _30 Rock_ as well. (But it’s not as good as _30 Rock_, because very few things are.) Speaking of which, watch _30 Rock_ if you haven’t done so. It’s available on Peacock! ---

_30 Rock_ was excellent and I only had to get past the first 2-3 shows for the Cringe to reduce to an acceptable level. ---

They have a section for TMC movies with tons of great films. Old Johnny Carson shows, Alfred Hitchcock Hour are a couple of my faves. ---

Not a show, but I’m watching Halloween Ends. They have exclusive streaming rights to it and it is a theatrical release _this_ week. ---

Thank you, but looking for shows, means looking for shows. You can’t watch anything on Peacock without them advertising _Halloween Ends_ anyway. ---

I’m expecting to see Jamie Lee Curtis and Michael Myers duking it out in wheelchairs in some old folks’ home someday. ---

Mr. Mercedes is a pretty decent Stephen King adaptation. Dr. Death was a bit horrifying (as is the true story it was based on) but entertaining. Also, there is a cute show called Escape to the Chateau - I don’t usually go for DIY stuff but the couple ( a retired British Army something and his quirky wife who doesn’t wear real clothes at all in the first season, even if she’s sledgehammering a wall) are fun, the kids are cute and it’s a relaxing show to watch. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > I’ll just start in on season 2 then. When I tried watching it years ago, I couldn’t stand it, but that was season 1. Same here. I think Andy Samberg is best enjoyed in short bursts, such as a bit on SNL. But B99 developed into a very, very good ensemble show, and the funniest guy of them all isn’t even a comedian. ---

My mother is a huge fan of two of the _Chicago_ shows on Peacock: _Chicago Fire_ and _Chicago Med_. Not so much _Chicago P.D._. ---

I enjoyed _Killing It_ and _The Resort_, but they’re both pretty off the wall. In _Killing It_, Craig Robinson and Claudia O’Doherty (who is a real standout) enter an anaconda-hunting contest and encounter some typical (?) Florida types along the way. _The Resort_ is a mishmash dark comedy/mystery with a convoluted past/present story line that may not appeal to everyone. But it has Cristin Milioti, (who I’ll watch in almost anything), Nick Offerman and William Jackson Harper from _The Good Place_. ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > I’m not much of a sitcom fan, but I remember, as a kid, that _Caroline in the City_ was a must-watch for us that probably flies under the radar, especially nowadays. My bad: _Caroline in the City_ is CBS, so that’s on Paramount+. ---

Sorry, I’m late again. Is this a commercial free offer? Other than live news or sports, I haven’t seen a commercial since the 1980s. I just cannot watch anything with commercials now.
