Contemplating watching all 1,225 episodes of Dark Shadows again. Love me some camp, supernatural, soap-opera.

Oh I absolutely love House MD! Watched it all back in the day when it was still airing. One of the greats!

It’s so addicting. It inspires a lot of very silly headcannons from me. I was out for the weekend, and my housemates complained that they couldn’t watch House without me…

Rewatching one of my favourite episodes of 9-1-1 - The Taking of Dispatch 911. Hostage situation in the dispatch centre and its so tense and thrilling.

Ok I really must watch Nightsleeper, can’t handle seeing all those spoiler tags and not being able to read them!!
But yesterday we began a watch-through of Babylon 5! Been meaning to watch this show for years. We watched the special “The Gathering”.
I still wonder why there was a special before the show began? Was it a pilot? You have to be careful where you get the show from because Amazon didn’t have that episode listed, and nor did Apple with their mega bundle, had to get it separately!
Anyway it was quite good, very 90s

And I’ve still not actually watched more than one episode - which is weird because I love the Cornetto trilogy and enjoy lots of the other cast’s work.

I could never get into Babylon 5 and yet everyone tells me how brilliant it is. Maybe one for the future if I’ve run out of other stuff to watch.

I know it’s generally frowned upon to laugh at your own jokes, but honestly, this comment I made on Facebook about the new Philip Schofield Cast Away show that Channel 5 announced is hands down my favourite of any joke I have told on social media:
“My name is Philip Schofield. After five years on a hellish island, I have come home with only one goal: to save my career. But to do that, I can’t be the morally reprehensible presenter I once was. To honor my runner, I must be someone else, I must become something else…”

Bloody hell - is that who it is?? I saw the trailer where it didn’t reveal who it was on the island and I thought - that’s a weird concept for a programme.
Now it makes sense. Definitely won’t be watching that!

I posted in the discord about this, but I finished Peter Harness’ (Kill The Moon, Zygon Invasion/Inversion, Pyramid At The End of the World) War Of The Worlds miniseries last night. Overall, I thought it was a strong, fun watch. Of course it appears that it was universally derided, and although I didn’t hate it, I kind of understand where people are coming from?
First of all, Harness is quite a good writer; I’d just finished reading the original book, which is all of 220 pages, so there’s a good deal of fleshing out and re-working done on the original story, but nowhere does it really change the fundamental heart of it. It includes some “after the end” sections that are a little trite and the pacing is rather off, but it has such a great BBC sci-fi feel to it that I couldn’t help but love it.

Haven’t watched “Sherlock” in ages.
Currently at “A Scandal in Belgravia”.
Love it

Okay…We’re five episodes into Andor and I’m going to admit I’m struggling a bit. There are a lot of threads going but none of them seem to be moving very fast - and some of them seem a bit too similar such as the different ‘officials’ trying to catch Andor. Andor himself seems like one of those creations/performances where ‘mysterious and sombre’ is mistaken for ‘character’ and I just don’t care about his plight at the moment. We will finish it but I’m not clamouring to put it on each evening.

This is sort of how I felt when I was watching Andor. I never finished Season 1 because I simply didn’t feel engaged enough with the characters and the story.

We watched the first two episodes of Ludwig on iPlayer. It’s ludicrous, but very good, and has some laugh out loud moments.

Saw the trailer and thought it looked like our kind of thing so we’ve added it to the list.

Glad it’s not just me. People had raved about it and I’m not feeling it yet. Bearing in mind I practically forced my wife to watch it, it had better pick up or she’ll never let me choose what we watch again (and she is a Star Wars fan).

Watched another episode of Babylon 5 last night. My husband said he’s not really enjoying it.
I’ve asked him to give it a chance, as it’s very highly rated, and so many shows take at least a season to get good. I can think of many examples of this where we have plodded through the first season to get to the good stuff: Star Trek TNG, Star Wars Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, etc.
Hoping he gives it a chance because I don’t want to watch it on my own, that would eat into time I want to spend watching Doctor Who! (And I can’t abandon it now, once I begin I have to see it all)

I watched the Vince McMahon Netflix doc yesterday. As someone who has followed wrestling for years, it puts all the scandals/rumours in context. I came out feeling icky.
If you’re not a wrestling fan, it just confirms all your worse thoughts about the whole medium.
It was very well done.
