Yes, me. Not bad, but nothing revolutionary. Those saying it deserved an Oscar nomination are out of their fucking mind.

Star Trek Next Gen rewatch. planning to watch all seasons. I forgot how Picard is portrayed as socially awkward in the beginning of the series

'DMZ' mini series (HBO Max)

I'd say this is a 7 out of 10. The opening episode is bananas with good worldbuilding, natural feeling introduction of the large ensemble of characters and especially good pace. The 3 other episodes are good but not as good as the pilot. Rosario Dawson is dependably good and Benjamin Bratt is excellent.

Based on the comics with the same name. (I'm not familiar with them.)

At alert Sha Dynasty. I watched a few episodes of the Peep Show recently added to the UK comedy Channel on PlutoTV. Is it worth watching the series in it's entirety?

Peep show is great! Quality throughout the whole series.

The first few seasons are not as good as it gets later, but they set up running gags in the later episodes.

One of the greatest UK comedies I think, because its so darkly funny, and they manage to comment a lot on modern culture. I've seen it so much, like with IASIP I just end up watching random episodes now.

For a comedy series I remember thinking it was pretty innovative with the camera angles when I first caught an episode. It definitely helps give the show its own look.

I just caught two random episodes. The one guy seems like such a loser, obsessing over a average looking coworker. And then he meets a shoe saleswoman and stalks her when at a college hours away
It's almost so sad it's funny type thing.

Yeah exactly, Mark is sad AF

Amazing to think that the coworker is one of the most acclaimed actors around now.

The fact that you hear their dark selfish thoughts was innovative, it hadn't really been done before this. It makes the writing relatable in a direct way because there are things we all think but don't say irl from moment to moment.

Rewatched 'Barry' in anticipation of S3. Perfect TV show.

Then I just started rewatching Newsradio because Stephen Root is in it. The cast is great in that show, but I can't remember how good the show is generally.
