Whatcha Watchin'?

I really should get caught up. The last one I saw was the episode where Archer was floating in the pool.

I don’t know, that’s not a bad place to stop actually

what service is this streaming on? And do they want me to have a cable subscription? I caught the first 4–5 seasons on amazon, but…

Had the shark been jumped at this point?

I’ve got to admit, this could actually tempt me out of my resolution to stay away from Phase 4. Especially if Foster replaces Odinson as Thor the same way that it happened in the comics.

Is anyone keeping up with Swamp Thing despite the cancellation?

Adrienne Barbeau alert!

Star Wars Episode Iv; bluray. Amazingly detailed. The movie still holds up, too.

Season 8 was dark and not very funny, Season 9 was dumb and not very funny, Season 10 is OK

Let’s just say if you skip straight from Season 7 to Season 11, you won’t have missed anything

They could have stopped after the cross-country cocaine-dealing rampage, they’ll never top that one

Awww, I loved the film noir season. But I love film noir, so.

That’s a great trashy film. ETA the original I mean.

We starting watching Endeavour and liked it, before we’d seen any of the Inspector Morse shows. Last night we just happened to start watching some new episodes we hadn’t seen, and tonight had the Apollo 11 moon landing as a theme or backdrop to the murder mystery.

Total coincidence, and I just wish we’d seen it yesterday.

So much crazy shit has happened on Doom Patrol already, one forgets it hasn’t even started S02 yet

knoxblox · July 22, 2019, 4:34am

I like Endeavour the best out of all the “classic” BBC detective shows, but anything Foyle runs a close second. I really like the feel of an every-man detective who’s not a super-genius struggling against the common foe.

That said, I’m watching all the seasons of Poirot, and while David Suchet cinches the character for me, the haphazard integrity of writing across the span is kind of irritating. Some are well-written, but some are downright sophomoric. Depends on who wrote the script that week.

Jumping in with my opinion of Endeavor. It’s fine, but I think Morse was better written and better acted.

teknocholer · July 22, 2019, 1:34pm

I haven’t seen Endeavour. I think my favourite is A Touch Of Frost. David Jason nailed the role.

gadgetgirl · July 22, 2019, 2:57pm

If you see Morse first (which most viewers would have the first time out), Endeavour acquires this lovely tragic patina though. The fresh-faced rookie who will parent the curmudgeon to come.

jerwin · July 22, 2019, 5:27pm

The Joan Hickson Miss Marple has a certain charm

kxkvi · July 22, 2019, 7:22pm

Foyle’s War is terrific. I love Michael Kitchen’s understated portrayal. And the Samantha Stewart character has such a cute personality.

We saw a couple of series of Endeavour first, liked it so much we went on to Morse. What a difference in character. From that perspective, it was obvious that events are changing him slowly, so it’s been really interesting to see the transitioning. Period setting makes it cool too.

nimelennar · July 22, 2019, 9:56pm

I’ve only been exposed to these shows because of my mother (who is a fan of pretty much the whole “crime investigation” genre), but isn’t there a sequel series, too, about Morse’s successor?
