I'm re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she's never seen it. It's been long enough since I watched it last that I don't remember a lot of things that happened, so there's a lot of "I forgot got that!" moments for me, which is fun.

X-Files. Its a superb remaster and great show.

Also Farscape but I'm soon done with last season. :/

Loved The Magicians! I didn't even make it through the first book and I can't remember what on Earth convinced me to watch the show, but I'm so glad I got on board!

Me and my daughter are (re)watching Samurai Jack. It’s a lot of fun and the art style is still gorgeous.
We’re going to skip the last season though. That one was definitely a lot darker and she’s still too young for that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The game is really fun, if you haven't tried it then I would suggest that.

Watching Beastars again to refresh myself on what's going on before the next season drops.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Going through The Expanse again. Such a good show that unfortunately got soured towards the end by a bad egg in the cast. But I'm enjoying it regardless, the work everyone else put into that show deserves praise. They found such a good balance point on the hard vs. soft sci-fi spectrum. Just enough realism and scientific accuracy to make the setting feel authentic without getting in the way of the story.

And Dominique Tipper as Naomi effortlessly code switching as she interacts with Inners and Belters is astounding. Not just her, all the Belter actors do such a great job with their dialects, but because of her screen time and back story it's a lot more varied for her.

Currently rewatching both Star Trek Voyager and Malcolm in the Middle.

Voyager is better than I remember.

Malcolm feels like it has barely aged somehow. Amazing show.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I went back and watched the other old Star Treks after not having watched them when they aired but Voyager was the one that seemed not worth my while. Should I check it out?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, all I can say is that I'm finding it like comfort food. A nice easy watch at the end of a day when I have the kids in bed.

If you enjoyed The Next Generation then there's a good chance you'll enjoy it.

I'm watching an AI upscaled version that I found as the one on Netflix is a bit potato quality. They never released a voyager bluray because the TNG one didn't sell well so it's not really their fault.

I return over and over to Community, Fringe, and Justified.

With Fringe it's very easy to notice new things each time through since there are just so damn many Easter eggs.

Community is just comfort food, kinda like Justified. Not deep and intricate plotting, but simple fun.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Community is streets ahead.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Justified is coming up on my list to watch for the first time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a great show, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Very well written and acted.

Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins are fantastic but there's also a recurring character, Wynn Duffy, played by Jere Burns, and I love almost every scene he's in.

There's also a weird amount of cast overflow between my three shows in minor supporting roles. Maybe that's true for most shows and it's just that these three I return to.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Goggins is a treasure. Between Righteous Gemstones, I'm a Virgo and Invincible he's killing it all over right now.

Twin Peaks Season 3, although I've gotten distracted by the new show Ripley, which is excellent so far.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

King of the Hill

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Final Space, kinda like a better Rick and Morty. Not an amazing series and it definitely did not age well, but it has it's moments.

Farscape! I haven't seen it since I was barely even a teenager. I loved the show and it meant a lot to me, but there are a lot of years between then and now so I've forgotten a lot. I've been shocked by how outrageously, flamingly queer it has been. Not like the unacknowledged, and often unintentional, homoeroticism of most genre shows of this era but gay sex only half way into the first season.

The show is just pretty great in general too, I love the Henson puppets and aliens so much. Ben Browder is a great lead with a ton of charisma. Just be warned if there are any topics you'd want to avoid, the show would have a fairly long list of content warnings. It can be very dark and not everything has aged perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I literally just started that again last night!

Money Heist (but in Spanish, the english dub is awful)

Third time. Such a great show

I've just re watched Avatar:TLAB and Legend of Korra for the 3rd time at least

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have also watched TLAB at least three times. So good. Korra two times I think. About to be a third soon I hope.

Zhu Li, do the thing!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't watched or re-watched almosy any tv shows since GoT but the one I've rewatched like 4 times is Prison Break.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Currently I'm rewatching Stargate SG-1. It has held time surprisingly well. Lets see if I agree with concurrent watching of Atlantis when I get to those seasons, which I thought a little silly at the time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Atlantis is a little silly, but in a campy way that never takes itself too seriously. SG-1 does a better job at keeping the tone pretty serious throughout, but with comedic intervals whereas Atlantis definitely tries for more humor. Both are really good though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love both, but I actually prefer Atlantis's ongoing series arc over the more episodic/season arc structure of SG-1.

Possibly unpopular opinion (?): Universe was a fantastic show that got cancelled right as it was getting really good. Stargate's answer to Voyager and Battlestar Galactica. Really wish we could have gotten more of it. With the way they left things, it's not too late to revive it if they can get actors on board. They can easily explain cast aging or not returning with the final cliffhanger.

Star Trek TNG anf DS9, for the nth ~~degree~~ time.

I'll never stop watching that.

King of Queens

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Curb Your Enthusiasm. Added bonus of knowing there’s new episodes coming that I haven’t see yet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm rewatching House, one random episode at a time. It's a more fun experience than watching it in sequence, and the show has held up amazingly well compared to my other favorite shows.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

More fun to watch it randomly? Not sure I see why. :)

Huh, what's the logic to doing it on shuffle working better than the original order?

Star Trek: The Next Generation

It's my comfort show so I've probably watched it all the way through dozens of times, but it's still the best tv show ever put to screen.
