Series you've recently watched, are now watching or have given up on

When it first came out, I really enjoyed Dead to Me on Netflix. However, when it got to the twin brother part, I stopped watching. Recently for some reason on YouTube I kept getting recommendations for interviews with Christina Applegate. She is always fun to watch and has a great sense of humor. So, I started watching Dead to Me and am back to enjoying it. Now I’m sad I only have a few episodes left.

It definitely hasn’t been cancelled on NBC. It also hasn’t been cancelled on CBS, ABC, CNN, or MTV.

Are you aware of the dedicated thread?

You think you’re sad now!

I just began watching Resident :alien: last week after getting Peacock. RA is a NBC network show? Peacock is the network’s premium channel.

I’ll check out the thread. I haven’t noticed it before. Thanks

My local cable didn’t carry NBC for quite awhile during Covid. It would be blocked for awhile and come back. Then blocked again. I quit trying to watch. I lost track of the new NBC shows that began in 2020-2022.

No, it was a Syfy show for the first three seasons. Season four will be on USA Network. It never was on NBC or any other broadcast channel (which should have been obvious from the language).

Ok. I happened to see it on Peacock’s recommended shows page. That’s mostly NBC and USA content. I watch Monk and The Closer on Peacock.

I haven’t shaken off identifying shows with the three major tv networks. Something I’ve done since childhood.

We watched season 2 and 3 of Bridgerton, because, well why not, some easy watching nonsense .
We watched episode 1 and 2 of “Your Hounor” I liked it , just felt too tense and we are in a minimal stress mode right now.
Tried 3 episodes of Suits as we had never watched it . By episode 3 the episode arc was clear and repeated , we didn’t need to watch any more.
Honestly we are in a bit of a show hole, and Mrs and youngest will be away soon for a month, so not wanting to start anything to get invested in and she doesn’t have a lot of enthusiasm for The Acolyte after the pretty flat Ashoka.

Need something amusing and not too taxing right now.

Looking forward to season 2 of Rings of Power .

Same here. We’ve started and given up on so many shows lately that I can’t even remember which ones they were! We finished Your Honor. We both liked it. But you’re right, it was kind of stressful.

I’m in the same boat as you both, Show Refugees.

Friends and family are trying to push Slow Horses on me and while I am a sucker for Gary Oldman and know I’d like it, subscribing to another service is giving me pause.

A bit slow on the update, but I’ve just realized that there’s a second season of Kleo. So far it’s as entertaining and weird as the first season.

My wife insisted on watching it separately with the English dub on, but for me it’s just not the same without Jella Hasse’s clipped “…Gut.”

We started this last night with the first episode - nothing outstanding but we enjoyed it enough and will continue with it. I’m a sucker for a murder mystery.

I just started watching NYPD Blue. I never watched it when it came out in 1993. 1993!! I’m only a couple of episodes in and so far so good.

Yeah, I binged this one over the weekend. Solidly decent B-grade show. Okayish plot and fairly appealing lead (who is thankfully written with mild but realistic teenage flaws). I was honestly surprised to find out she’s 22 - she looks and plays plays younger better than most. But the rest of the cast is either a bit to extremely under-developed and the plot is only okayish. Parts of the denouement felt more than a little (vaguely spoilery if you’ve seen this major Brit murder mystery) like a teen version of Broadchurch.

I let the show run as background noise.
It is important to note that the PhD is legit (relative to his education), but he had some fame with Rednecks and Rockets (2011-13), but its likewise important to note he’s a published SciFi author.
This show is the realestate guy property manager getting together with the SciFi guy doing everything they can to hype up a series that focuses on a site long declassified by the military, so they can turn revenue from this 512 acre property.
Its only barely different then AXE-MEN, or any other unreal-reality show, chock full of artificial drama.
I’m a EE, and the PhD has me by leagues, but im also a Technician licensed Amature Licensed guy, so when I watched the 4 episodes where they all were freaking over the mysterious 1.6G transmission, and at first they play it as some magical non-reproducible by man freq. On the last one they go to a mom and pop radio station KNEU, and have the DJ produce and broadcast at 1.6Ghz. Bluetooth, cell phones, microwaves, some handhelds to name a few can either intentionally or spuriously emit at 1.6Ghz, so it’s not a magical mystery freq.
I believe there’s other life out there, and if those lifeforms are trafficing on or around earth, they are more advanced than us.
What I don’t buy is civilians with back seat electronics finding or solving these mysteries, when the military and the government has been there with the most advanced tech on the planet, fully declassified the site, and actually allowing these “specialists” to scratch the surface is anything beyond laughable.

Nice first post- welcome!

I finished watching this series last night. It was strange and disturbing, yet curiously entertaining.

Exactly right. It went from funny to dark in a hurry. Halfway through I was ready to recommend, now I’m not so sure.

Binged five eps of The Bear (S3) last night. It really is well done.

We watched the first episode of The Brothers Sun.
We enjoyed it, a little gruesome with comedy element more about the ridiculous situation and the dead pan manner of the characters, a bit of a Barry vibe to it.
Mrs Mollusc approved of the kids unquestionably doing what the mother said and their fastidiousness in taking shoes off when indoors and putting them in the shoe rack, even when involved in a to the death fight.
We shall likely watch a few more and see how it goes.

I enjoyed it, but I found the main character of Bruce to be pretty lame (rather than funny or endearing).

Binged Netflix’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. I almost bailed ten minutes into it, but then decided to persevere. It’s about a group of kids, not typically my cuppa, but finished it. Meh.
