Anyone else here watching Silo on Apple TV? We have watched all the episodes that are out so far and are absolutely loving it!

I’m enjoying it so far, although was a little disappointed at the sudden stop of the mystery aspect but I guess it is only natural in a show like this so they can build some flesh on the bones of the characters. 

Really intrigued to see where it goes.

Personally thought it was very satisfying and a finale that will only get better with time. I thought they completely nailed it. 

I'm jealous, I haven't got past the first few episodes of the new season, which I thought were really bad. I've currently got no enthusiasm to pick it back up, which is weird cos I dug the first two seasons. 

Ted Lasso Season 3 was very bad it's not just you.

Set my DVR to record the new episodes of Always Sunny that start tonight, and I already cracked up at the name of the second one.

I'm convinced everything starting with S4E5 of Barry is a dream or something. This is when the show took a really weird turn (not a bad thing) but it definitely feels like a different show starting here.

Like, the finale just feels like something Barry would dream up in his head. Especially the last 10 minutes or so. I need to read some fan theories or something because, as weird as this is for me to type out, the backhalf of this season feels really Lynchian to me in a lot of ways. Obviously it doesn't get overtly weird, like David Bowie turning into a kettle, but... I don't know, yeah. I watched this over two days ago and the finale is still stuck with me because it's SO WEIRD and unsettling somehow.

I checked out the first episode of The Idol on Max. This show is genuinely fucking terrible. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I got almost no enjoyment out of it. I've seen porn stars act more convincingly than The Weeknd.

Finished the last season of Manifest. Netflix are generally pretty useless, but credit were due, picking this show up after it got cancelled, and giving us a final 20 episode run, was class. Was it convoluted as hell? Yep. Was there callbacks to minor details from old seasons that no one would reasonably remember? Yep. Was it super absurd but still entertaining? Also yep.

Would 100% recommend it for people who like going into a show that’s a bit like Lost, but wants the reassurance that it gets some kind of resolution. Was pissed when it was cancelled mid mystery. 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Well that's terrifying.

The dots being almost the same color as his skin made me think he was wearing a diaper at first..

It’s Always Sunny is back with a bang.

I doubt I'll be keeping Peacock once the free version goes away for Xfinity customers in a couple of weeks.  So I've watched half of Bupkis and I find it the perfect type of off-the-rails.

I didn't know I needed to see a coked up Bobby Cannavale singing "My Sacrifice" in a child's face until I saw it.

Finding season four of Search Party to be a real slog - just crossed over the halfway point and quite disappointed a comedy (albeit, a dark one) has ramped up the bleakness.

Like, I don't need to see the main character bawl, scream and beg every episode with there not being much light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. Really liked the first three seasons.

[GoGo Yubari]

It does culminate in one of the conceptually funniest chase scenes I've ever seen if that helps any.

I just finished Succession season 3.
 

Why did we not create a standalone thread so I can go back and read what everyone’s said about this show?! Holy shit, this fucking show.

If you haven't, watch Mrs. Davis before it goes bye-bye. Its good, but fucked up at the same time.

I thought about it but it didn't seem to be super popular here. It's firmly in my top 5 though. 

[Benjamin]

There was just so much to watch when it first came out that it's been on my watchlist, just below a lot of other crap.

It's fantastic, though, even if some parts don't feel as strong as others, it's so freaking engaging and has to be the most thrilling boardroom drama / fucked-up comedy ever.

Everyone in The Full Monty is so goddamned old.
