Is it really that bad? I am getting FOMO over it.

Is it just like S-Town style poverty porn stuff?

It is content about outrageous people with nothing interesting, thought provoking or nuanced to say about any of them. 

I think the best way to phrase is this - it is a Jerry Springer episode, except following the same handful of people for 7 hours.

What We Do in the Shadows is back! Hopefully season 2 will be as good as season 1! One of my favorite new shows from last year!

[Moses Julep]

Really enjoyed Devs.

So because everyone I know and their mother was watching it, I started Money Heist. I can't believe I made it six episodes in, this show is definitely not for me, I think it sucks.

If a show isn't for you doesn't mean it sucks. People have different tastes.

I'm all in on that SBTB reboot. It looks just dumb enough and self-aware to be fun.

Do we know if Screech is going to be involved? I'd be surprised cause I know Dustin Diamond has some issues.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I don’t believe he is.

Yeah, it's totally fine if other people think it's amazing, I wasn't arguing otherwise. In my opinion, it's an unbalanced show with unlikable characters. Hence why I think is sucks.

Very much doubt it. Screech might get a mention, but my guess is that he shows up, it'll be a blink and you miss it cameo. Diamond is a legit d-bag, so I kind of hope he never appears.

Mario Lopez, Liz Berkley and John Michael Higgins are set to be regulars. Gosselar, Tiffani Thiessen and Ed Alonzo (Max, who owned The Max) are set to be recurring.

Also, Zack is somehow the governor of California.

[punky]

Need a shot of Zack holding the big ass Paul E. Dangerously cell phone and I’m in.

Anybody else watching the Plot Against America?

Not out in the UK yet.

Speaking of David Simon, just watched Generation Kill over the last few days. Wow, what a show. Numbing & soul destroying, but such a good piece of work. 

[MalaCloudy Black]

I don't think you can go wrong with David Simon. Ever.

4 episodes into Twin Peaks: The Return and it's just peak Lynch isn't it? I've never seen TV that is as distinctive and auteur-driven. 

Obviously haven't got a clue what's really going on, but that doesn't bother me, especially this early on. I'm just absorbing it all and loving it.

Yeah, looking at doing The Corner and Treme at some point during quarantine.

I still have no idea what happened during Twin Peaks: The Return and I still love it.

Treme is fantastic!

Sling Blue is currently free for everyone between 5pm and midnight every day for a limited time. Quite handy.
