The Expanse (started Season 4): this is going to be one of my top 3 sci-fi shows for sure. Thank you to whoever recommended it here
Lanterns: I watch this soon after a new episode comes out
North of North: It's wholesome CBC content
Futurama

Also watching:

Orphan Black: I'm part way through season 2, but I haven't watched a new episode in a few days. I don't feel as motivated to watch now that the main mystery has been explained.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Some of the recent themed episodes were forgettable
It's always sunny in philidelphia
president curtis

Recently enjoyed:

Sterling Point
Batman Caped Crusader
Ghosts (US)

I haven't watched the Expanse yet, but it's on my list. Orphan Black is solid all the way through. Tatiana is a hell of an actress.

Star Trek Voyager. Hilariously I see I'm not alone in here.

The plan is to then move onto post-Voyager shows none of which I've watched at all (this is probably my third time through everything up to Voyager, though.) I started with TOS maybe three years ago? Taking my time.

I just finished Silo Season 3 Apple seems like the only one doing prestige TV anymore.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I was really happy how this season went. After getting nervous by how the season started and feeling like we weren't going to get anywhere, it really went all out and we got so much lore and backstory. Very excited for S4.

Yeah, the first half using the amnesia trope kinda made me lose interest, but damn did the last 2 episodes more than make up for it.

I think HBO is still putting out a lot of prestige TV (The Pitt, DTF St Louis, Hacks, Lanterns, HOTD, AKotSK, etc), but Apple is definitely putting out hit after hit after hit (Widow's Bay, Shrinking, Slow Horses, Margo's Got Money Troubles, etc).

Both are going to win big this weekend at the Emmys.

[–] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I feel like HBO has lost at least some of their magic. Still good, but a downturn. I was an early fan of Apple when they were doing only esoteric sci-fi that no one watched. I was surprised how small of the streaming marketshare it is, but not really.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Overall I'm definitely impressed with the content Apple has put out. I hesitate to say HBO has lost their magic, but I could see someone prefer Apple's offerings over HBO's, especially if we only look at recent and not the full backlog.

"Are You Being Served - The Movie". No laugh-track made it seem weird/off but I still laughed out loud several times. Good old show,

Watching Star Trek: The Original Series for the first time since I was 17. RIP to the Salt Vampire.

Alternating between Star Trek voyager, and merlin

I'm watching The Muppet Show for the first time in my life and I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

Just finished the season finale for both Silo and For All Mankind.

Good sci-fi dramas

[–] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Silo is scary relevant with Musk and Thiel plotting.

I liked For All Mankind, but the Cold War era propaganda became a little much, especially with the Star City spinoff. I got enough of the chauvinist crap when I was a kid in the '80s.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I loved both of those.

I think I may have to check out Star City after the very end bit of For all Mankind to get the backstory on that even though most of the Russians tick me off.

[–] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's tired Cold War propaganda.

Just finished Season 4 of The Bear.

It's helping me work through some stuff.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lanterns.

It is great!

[–] reef@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm enjoying this one. I want to see more DC content with this format.

I did not understand the very ending of the recent episode.

spoiler

Why crash another car.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

I think Jordan is gonna go meet Antaan and crew at the diner and doesn’t want Stewart there.

Not sure why Jordan felt the need to trap Stewart in a crashed car to achieve that. Or even worse kill Stewart.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

New Ted Lasso is pretty mid. They should have left it.

I finished Spider Noire and it was an absolute joy

[–] reef@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you watch the black and white version or the color?

I watched with black and white, but I feel that I missed out any color choices that the director made

[–] Arda@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Yes i watched in black and white in purpose. I dont feel like i missed out at all, i dont even want to know in retrospect what the colors were lol I watched the show because of the vibe and black and white is a must imo

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Go watch Mr Inbetween if you're after some tight gunplay and a fun protagonist.

[–] reef@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I need to try this again with subtitles. I had a hard time figuring out what anyone was saying, and the subtitles were not working at the time.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Try watching Love/Hate without subs

Currently rewatching Community as many times as it takes until I'm no longer in my depressed state. Recently finished The Mentalist which ended up being really good. Someone else mentioned Silo which I think is an extremely good slow thriller. Severance, also by Apple TV is just an interestingly odd show that hooks you pretty quick.

Watched episode 4 of Lanterns yesterday, i am really enjoying the show.

I have started my rewatch of The Addams Family (1964).

And I just watched the newest episode of Always Sunny. That may have been one of the best episodes in a while. I always love the episodes where everything that happens in the episode pisses off Dennis, especially when it is the gang confusing names and people.
