I saw adverts for this and seemed interesting. Decided to watch the old seasons since I had never seen it. Season 1 almost killed me of boredom. Unfortunately I had nothing else to watch so I sat through Mr Lincoln whispering for 100 hours.

Season 2 was significantly better then figured season 3 would be even better, nay nay! Couldn't make it through season 3 what a boring show. I might skip to the last season if it's sci-fi... I like sci-fi.

Now I'm watching Masters of the Air. Pretty good. I think Apple has some of the best series right now. Also recently saw both seasons of Reacher, I enjoyed that also.

I thought seasons 1 and 2 were excellent, didn’t care for season 3 and was hoping for a comeback in season 4, but it seems like it took a left turn. Maybe it just seems that way and will turn into something better than I am currently thinking.

I also enjoyed Reacher, season 1 more than season 2. Really like the character from the books.

What was season 1 like, this trailer seems half decent.

I was hesitant to watch this as I don't really know much about the game or follow any of that, but I liked it a lot. Will definitely watch season 2.

It was awesome if you like the genre. Which I do. I've also played the game and understand the premise. Season 2 is starting off even better.

Four episodes in. My new Apple TV 4K box came with 3 months of free AppleTV+, so I've been watching this series while I do my indoor cycling. So far it's very good.

Found Invasion on new to us Apple TV, first 2 episodes are goodish, any thoughts?

I've seen both seasons and loved it. I think Apple has the best scifi shows right now. If you like scifi I would also check out Silo and Foundation on Apple TV.

Finally got the wife to watch Penny Dreadful w me. If you're into occult/supernatural, this is a sure hit so far a few episodes in. I used to be indifferent about Josh Hartnett but now I like him.

Entropy89 · 02-15-2024, 08:19 PM

Ive been on a bit of a binge the last month…

1. Loudermilk

2. Lessons in Chemistry

3. The Brothers Sun

4. Sweet Home

5. Tacoma FD

6. Griselda

Highly recommend.

Re. Invasion. I am 6 mother fucking episodes into this thing AND NOTHING HAS FUCKING HAPPENED.

I am all for character development but this is absolute rubbish.

gunsmoker · 02-18-2024, 10:04 AM

I liked Loudermilk too. It's a pity there doesn't seem to be a new season in production.

I recently binge-watched the entire Young Sheldon series and I now watch the new episodes as they come out (one so far). Great characters and funny dialog. I tried watching the Big Bang Theory years ago ant it was not my thing. Young Sheldon - a totally different show!

Enjoyed recently Berlin - if you have enjoyed Money Heist (highly recommended), you will like Berlin too.

Curb's final season started and the the two episodes have been great as usual.

gunsmoker · 02-18-2024, 10:06 AM

Enjoyed also S2 of Alpha Males. Great premise and tricky situations...

Yeah, had to put that down. Calling it a slow burn is an understatement. Too many episodes and not enough movement. I made it through Season 1, got one episode into Season 2 and had to call it. Silo same thing. I feel like most of these shows just get...stupid really quickly.

Half decent cast for a bunch of nobodies, big budget, good bones to the storyline but JESUS FREAKIN GCHRIST... the staring, every character stares for 10 mins per episode. As in JUST STARES.

Don't remember how season 1 was but I enjoyed it overall. I remember foundation being one that took a while for me to get into it.

I think most shows these days nothing happens for most of the show. I finally finished the Godzilla show on Apple TV. Literally like 2min of actual Godzilla in the whole show.

I watched it on Saturday. It was really good. Not as laugh out loud funny as Eurocrash or A Scandi Flick, but still a quality special.
