Anyone catch the new season of Dexter? I’ve been hearing a lot of good but the show took such a nosedive after season 4 or 5 that I’m dragging my feet to start it.

@flannel-slut the trinity killer session was amazing tv, one of my favourites

Alien Earth is so so good.

The Deuce. I need to finish season 3.

The only thing my wife and I watch in unison is somebody feed Phil

Otherwise it’s just me watching or she’s watching

@Nick Need to finish season 3 mate - set in mid 80s, so good already, but ties everything up nicely

@Nick Alien Earth ep01 was really good, hope it stays that way.

What service is this on thesedays? Still Sky (as Atlantic is just a rebranded HBO for the UK).

The Mrs and I decided to give the latest season of Dexter a chance yesterday and ended up binging 4 episodes through the middle of the night. First episode, we were like, “alright. not bad!” 3 episodes later and I’m in the corner talking to my dark passenger Pry will watch the remaining 3 episodes to get us current tonight.

I LOVED the original series so much. In fact first few seasons is some of my favourite tv. Got extremely silly towards end. Didn't watch the reboot. Didn't see the prequel. But I think I might have to watch the return as it appears to have found some redemption. Might need to watch a YouTube 'what you missed' video to find out what happened when Dexter was living a new life etc. Did see the first 2/3 eps come to think of it but gave up.

@Nick couldn’t agree more man, first 4 seasons are some of my favorite TV. I didn’t bother w the prequel either but did subject myself to the initial reboot that released a little after COVID. The prior season has relevance to the current season but it was a bit of a slog so watching some 20 minute recap on YouTube is a GREAT idea to get up to speed.

@Nick my wife and i did the same thing with New Blood. we watched one episode and turned to youtube for a 10 minute recap of the rest of the New Blood season and moved on to Resurrection. 2 episodes in I like resurrection thus far, but I do feel they spend a lot of time "nodding and winking" at the original series. They make a point to say Dexter Morgan and Dark Passenger over and over again, and his scenes with Harry seem drug out.

anyhow I'm kind of loving it, and I've been known to bitch about everything.

Has anyone seen The Orville? When I started the first episode, I thought it was going to be fine, but nothing special. Boy, was I wrong. That show has no business being as good as it is. If you like Star Trek and that sort of thing, give The Orville a shot. Also, Strange New Worlds is an incredible Star Trek series that's essentially a prequel to the original series. Highly recommended if you like Star Trek, or even if you don't.
