Whats on your box?

Started watching the new Dexter season.
Only seen two episodes so far and I kinda like it.

The kids, or rather teenager I guess, worries me though.
I've pet peeve against young people on tv shows that have a strange habit of constantly doing extremely stupid things.

Also watching Wheel of Times on Amazon.
Read the books and loved them, well mostly anyway. The show is okay. Probably the show I look forward to the most each week at the moment.

I want to see the new Dexter! Sorta makes the ending of the last one more bareable for it to come back. I agree about teens on tv and dumb things, but I guess they have to make it realistic!


The Office (US) just running it in the background really. Seems I havent seen s3-5 before anyway.

Seachange - a delightful aussie drama series from the turn of the century. Wasn't my thing back then, but enjoying it now!


Will try to find survivor 41 to finish before I get spoiled. Wont be a rewatch for me.

Cobra Kai I duno how many seasons this will have left in it, but its a fun watch for new years with chinese food and coke. Pretty much my ultimate new years hahahha. I love my 30's.

Dont look up - leos's climate film, still better than Gretta

Hysteria - awkward lol

Lost Girl - been told to watch this for years. Bit like Angel, not as deep yet though.

Looking forward to season 2 of Cheer this month. Didnt know if they got another season after the scandal of the first. Had given up hope and it was announced! So yay. Bit over shows taking so long between seasons. If they are made for binge format, they need to roll them out quicker!

 

[s k]

I remember liking Lost Girl. Wonder if I would still like it today.
Never dared watched Cobra Kai. lol

Watched quite a lot over Christmas. Been home and sick most of the time...

Binged watched Leverage.
Pretty fun actually even though it got a bit repetitive when watching so many episode in a row.
It is pretty much the same story in every episode after all...

Continued with the new version. Leverage: Redemption.
A decent continuation. The new characters works for me. But I'm a fan of Noa Wyle since before.
Seeing him and Christian Kane together makes me want to re-watch The Librarians. lol

Also watched the new Hawkeye series.
Really enjoyed that one. Perhaps my favorite Marvel series so far.
Just some light hearted fun really but it worked for me.
Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop is easy to like.

Arcane was also really good.
One of few animated series I've actually enjoyed.

Just started watching Squid Game. Only seen the first episode.
So far so good I guess... not sure I'm overly impressed by the acting though.

Timeless - time travel show, only got two seasons. Easy watching.

Blindspot - reminds me a bit of prison break. Unraveling the story still. Not a binge type, I just watch one or two eps in between other shows mostly.

Manifest - I watched this last year s1-3 but it just came on netflix here so I will rewatch. I heard there was a 4th season coming on Netflix. The story was interesting, even if a bit slow. I'd like an ending.

Im a celeb AU. Yay! Tenplay is shit though so I wont be watching live. Its got Poh on and Im super keen to see her win something for once! (MastAchef S1 runner up). Also the host of Recovery which is a blast from the past. And Im not a fan of Beau Ryan, so I'd love to see him suffer a bit

Heaps of older shows are on free to air streaming channels here now. So all the ones I've missed and have been told to watch, I can start to see now. Since I dont go on any other fan forum anymore, its easier to avoid spoilers.

Cheer S2. Whoa. So they did the in thing and "addressed" almost every issue between s1 and s2. Made for a longer season, bit more bore and more info on the child porn stuff that I didnt need to hear, but I guess had to be said. Covid obviously impacted. Overall, very different feel to S1.

I really missed the actual action and training drills which were squeezed into montages throughout. The focus on the other team... well, I get why they did it but I wasnt really in it for them. Hated the unsportsmanlike attitudes, and extra drama. Navarro had enough drama haha.

Needed more Gabi Butler and less Maddy. Gabi always comes across as sweet, but Maddy came across as a total brat/trash and exactly what I would expect when you think of a cheerleader. Gil was cute but useless, without cassadee pushing her, she would have been less interesting than cardboard.

I liked s1 because it wasnt what you would expect from cheer kids. La'darias is still hilarious on twitter/insta and will probably make a career from this if he can keep his mind alright. Monica is a trooper.

Also binged s40 of survivor with mum. That was the last good season, end of an era, probably the last good one we'll see out of the US.

I started watching The Motive, one of the true crime docu series on Netflix

 

[SwanSong]

Dr Phil
Hot brain melted

 

[SwanSong]

S4 of Ozark I will not be surprised if darleen just ends up blowing every one of the cast away with a shot gun. Its pretty hilarious by this point.

Beau Ryan dropped out if Im a celeb. Funny how its all the big tough sports guys who cant hack it in the so-called jungle. Although, last year it was the lesbian who dropped out because she was deathly afraid of snakes. So its always a laugh.

 

[SwanSong]

Chicago Med. Wowee, anyone who wants to talk toxic and inconsistent characters, this show is for you! Ha. The drama is dramatic and everyone is awful.

Survivor AU Blood vs Water, another outback season. Pretty place where ever they are! I couldn't do it, far too hot!

 

[Death]

So I put amazon prime on to watch spn and watched a film and aussie masterchef instead, season 11 is the newest they have but I don't remember all the contestants

 

[SwanSong]

Clickbait - netflix murder mystery. It was alright for a weekend watch. Nice to have it a mystery for a good portion, without prediction. I liked the format too, fanficy but forward moving.

Inventing Anna - A little long, but I liked it. The actor who plays her is fantastic. I vaguely remember the story, but everything about this is vague.


The Good Doctor - I cant believe this show was actually made. Oh man, its so terrible. I am trying to desensitise myself to medical settings but this show is such a joke, its embarassing.

 

[Shurley]

Watching a three-and-a-half-hour live stream from my favorite YouTube creator; I could watch her all day and not get bored!

But have you finished Supernatural?

I've almost finished aussie masterchef, and will go back to Supernatural soon! Hopefully!

 

[Shurley]

But have you finished Supernatural?

Nope, lol, I haven't. At this point, I've decided to just watch it when one of the reactors I follow get to it; I watch her full-length reactions on Patreon and she's about to start S10 - takes about a month for her to get through a season, so it'll be a little while yet

 

[SwanSong]

ER - just wanted something in the background that was going to run on without too much interference from me. Puppy gets me up and down a lot. Gotta say, its better than some of the newer medical dramas. More consistency in characters, plenty of current issues but less pushy about them. In saying that Im still in the early seasons.

Survivor AU on again tonight. I love the setting and the show, but since they've set it in the outback it feels like some people got hardly any air time until the day they are voted out. So its getting very predictable and maybe they should start with less people so we get more time to know them. Or, cut masterchef back a bit and give Survivor a longer run! Im pretty sure the filming lengths arnt that much different. They are both produced by the same channel, Survivor over summer and masterchef over winter. Survivor would be great 4 nights a week, like masterchef is. But this year its been 3 nights, and now 2 from this week. They had enough people and footage surely!

Alone Denmark. Just finished Alone Sweden yesterday. On Ep 3 and they are only showing day 2... So me thinks the majority dont last long. The adbreaks are asking for applications for Alone Australia. I totally would have done that if I was younger and less broken. I wonder where they will do it. The only places that would be similar in environment would be the snowy mountains or even Tassie, unless they decide to put a real aussie flavour to it and hold it up north in the hot. I doubt they would put people in places with crocodiles though... Dealing with all the snakes would be hard enough. The show makes me miss bushwalking but Im not keen to take Lilah out there yet. Not until I have that anti bait muzzle at least!

 

[SwanSong]

The anti bait muzzle is too small waa. But i do need to start taking her bush soon, shes outgrown town walks with her long legs!! Im glad I reread that post cos i have run out of shows. I think there was one more Alone series I hadnt seen yet.

Survivor AU is done (yay mark) and MasterChef hasnt yet begun. I started Byron Baes and Im not sure if this is a super scripted reality show or a mockumentary of Byron Bay. Its so #eastcoast

Now I have Little Women on netflix. How many versions of this movie are there?

 

[s k]

I started to watch Teen Wolf on Netflix.
But I don't know... seems like I don't have the same patience for stupid High School teenagers like I used to.
The stupidity of these kids annoys me more than it entertains me.

Also watch Star Trek Picard. It's okay at least.

Besides that I'm trying out a bunch of other shows but none has really caught my interest.

Chicago Med. Wowee, anyone who wants to talk toxic and inconsistent characters, this show is for you! Ha. The drama is dramatic and everyone is awful.

Chicago Med was one of the shows I tried out for a few episode but I pretty much agree with your assessment. lol
