Lucifer is one of my favorite shows and the season premiere was awesome. But they're missing out on making some money by not releasing the songs that Tom Ellis does on the show as singles, or doing a soundtrack. The cover of All Along The Watchtower from the season premiere was great.

Adventure Time will come to an end next season. Not mathematical

Parks and Rec finale...

  Hide contents

I loved it until I realised Ann and Chris seemed to have been forgotten... and then they appeared

 

I've binge watched all seven seasons on Prime and have just finished the finale. I'm literally crying with sadness because it's over and with happiness because everyone got their happy ending. And I never cry. Ever.

I would probably rank Parks and Rec as one of my favourite shows of all time with Ron Swanson, Perd Hapley and of course Leslie as some of my favourite ever characters. I'm so glad I found it, all thanks to watching Billy On The Street of all things.

I can't wait to watch the whole thing again some day. Until then I am going to try and find out what the hell happened to Mark Brendanawicz

Two minutes into the Porridge sequel and I'm out. That laugh track is like something out of The Simpsons Burns and Smithers sitcom.

Shame, as I'd heard praise for it as one of the actually good ones amongst all of the remakes/reboots/continuations in this anniversary thing.

Please tell me the Goodnight Sweetheart one wasn't awful!

I couldn't get past five minutes

The buzz I'd heard was that the "Are you being served?" remake was awful but Porridge was actually a good show that was enough of a nod to the past but at the same time, was not weighed down by it and was a good show in its own right.

I've heard zero about the rest of the anniversary shows and have seen none of them yet.

Young Hyacinthe was alright for what it was.

[Chris2K]

The Goodnight Sweetheart episode they did was great, aside from the canned laughter at two men kissing, but I don't know if that counts as a re-make. 

[Colly]

Porridge wasn't too bad, not fantastic (especially with Clement and de Frenais' CVs) but a fun throwback. Also it had Finchy and Bulla.

Transparent is the best show on TV. So great.

Just watched the premier of Westworld...I like it. It's an interesting world with a cool premise. Can't wait to see where it goes.

[Maxx]

I really, really liked Westworld.  Its a gorgeous show too.

[Ruki]

I really liked the westernization of some more modern music. The wife pointed out Black Hole Sun and Paint It Black....and then Johnny Cash (the man in black) for the end credits.

I'm sensing a theme there.

[Benji]

Oh that makes me happy to see you guys saying that. I was really hyped for it, but the reviews were a bit tepid so I worried it was going to be a let down.

[thatshortguy]

Short Girl loves to watch a show until such a time she can no longer function as a cognizant human being.

I feel like I should clock in before starting to watch even one episode of a show.

Somehow we're going to watch all seven seasons of Nurse Jackie at her request.  #howwilltheycoexist

[Josh]

Yeah, Westworld's premiere was pretty damn superb. It's a little male gazey, but that's virtually all of TV. Otherwise, I have very high hopes based on that episode.

[MDK]

Motherland was a pretty decent pilot. It really helps that Diane Morgan is in it.

I have been so hyped for this show for ages, and now they add Patrick fucking Warbuton to it as well?

Give up 2017, the contest for my favourite show is already over.

[Colly]

I think I've spoken of my love of Star Wars Rebels here before, but the new series opener had Tom Baker teaching Kanan how to be Daredevil post blinding. Amazing.
