So, Wednesday is a lot of fun. I'm absolutely convinced that Wednesday's roommate is a loving homage to Buffy's friend Willow. The young actress must have studied Alyson Hannigan's vocal phrasing, facial expressions and movement. Even her wardrobe is identical. There are many parallels between the two shows, too, including a take on the iconic WWBD, only in this case it was WWWD. And there's the whole boyfriend-turning-into-a-monster moment. Anyway, good fun.


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I kicked myself for watching two episodes of Wednesday last night! But I HAD to find out what happened!


Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

I often watch several episodes at one sitting. lol I seem to have gaming days, errand days, and streaming days, with the odd cleaning day mixed in.

Is it limited series, or will there be another year? Or do we know yet?

It's cleverly done, and well-written. I suspected who was who by the middle of the season. I think I have one or two more episodes left.

It apparently isn't intended to be a limited series and more seasons are planned but as far as I can tell from some googling it hasn't yet been 'renewed'.

I'd watch another season if they kept up the quality.

hagatha, too funny that you too thought Wednesdays roommate has the facial expressions of Alyson Hannigan. The whole first episode I kept telling hubby that I know her from somewhere and then it hit me! American Pie. lol

Drac, I am so sad we finished it. I absolutely loved it!

Now waiting for Miracle Workers Season 4 to start!

I'm watching Season 5 of the Crown, which may or may not be entirely fictitious but it's compelling drama all the same.

I just watched the first episode of Three Pines. Not being familiar with the books it was not at all what I was expecting, especially after the opening, but was very enjoyable.
Looking forward to more yes

I'm watching The Midnight Club. It's decent enough, with some episodes being very good indeed, but not up to Mike Flanagan's two Haunting series and his Midnight Mass.

I agree hagatha about it not living up to those others and I confess I gave up on it before the end.

Flotsam, it got better as it went along. It was kind of a meditation on loss and death and acceptance. In the end the horror aspects of it were far less important than those themes and I guess it hit home for me because some of it rang so true.

Can't decide what to watch next. I watched two episodes of Dead to Me and ditched it.

I mainly left off because it felt a bit too RL Stine for my liking but you have convinced me to go back to it hagatha wave

I'm still looking for something compelling to watch and I keep thinking it might be time to re-watch Dark. I can't find Justified anywhere, which was the other show I felt like watching again; Timothy Olyphant is so brilliant in that role.

I haven't watched it yet but 1899 is being compared with Dark so maybe have a look at that.

I will.

In the meantime, under the banner of "So bad it's almost good" I'm watching Safe, on Netflix.


I've never seen so many silly plot holes and ridiculous premises. And Michael C. Hall, much as I like him, is so egregiously miscast and his British accent is so abysmal it boggles the mind; was there no British actor willing to take on the role?

I was going to turn it off but it's like the proverbial slow-motion train-wreck only in this case the train is barrelling along at breakneck speed and I can't look away. I mean, just as one example, Hall plays a heart surgeon who seemingly never actually does any surgery, plays detective for days and days and even risks his precious "golden hands" to chase down and beat up a gang member with his fists, even though his girlfriend is the lead detective on the case?

It's the first time I've watched something so irresistibly, so compellingly bad. Wow.

Well now I'm going to HAVE to check it out woozy And I certainly agree about Justified and Timothy.
I never understand why they make people do bad accents. If you need the person in the cast, just write them with their own accent. Surely the character can be from elsewhere.
Case in point, while I got used to hearing Hugh Laurie's accent in House, why on earth couldn't he just have been British?

I don't think Hugh Laurie's real accent would have played well.

EDIT: So, I'm watching The Boyz. It's twisted and offensive -- but in a very entertaining way. You definitely wouldn't want your younger kids mistaking it for a superhero show.

It is indeed twisted and offensive and I liked it a lot devilchili
A related leg of the dog (perhaps) is Love Death and Robots. Its animation, and can be equally twisted and offensive. Some of the animation is exquisite. Ditto some of the story telling. The first episode of season 1 and the last episode of season 3 beautifully bookend things. The animation style and the storytelling differs throughout, but if you watch nothing else watch those.
And apologies if we have covered this before (these threads get long and I forget stuff!)

I'm just finishing the first season of The Newsroom, an HBO series from about 10 years ago. It is very good.

I haven't watched the Newsroom but a couple of friends have recommended it to me.

Yes, I am enjoying The Boyz. It can be very funny, and there have been times I've startled my cats by laughing out loud. The cast is wonderful. In Season 2 the offensiveness just keeps on ramping up. grin
