      @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.

                        I’m also a Wednesday fan. I have a soft spot for shows about teenagers solving mysteries. I’m sure it’s residual from growing up in the 80s.

                          I'm hoping that Ghost of Yotei will give me similar vibes when it comes out later this year. Blue Eye Samurai was great.

                            A couple of recommends from us:

                            Smoke on AppleTV+ - good cop drama about an arson investigator and police detective assigned to help him partnering up to catch two serial arsonists.
                            Sandman Season 2 on Netflix - seems to be following the story fairly faithfully from what I can remember having read it 20 years ago. Neil Gaiman's mythology-hopping fantasy madness at its finest.

                              I watched the AMC Interview with the Vampire series over the last week or two and enjoyed it.

                              The show is a cover version or remix of the original novel: Louis is a Creole pimp at the turn of the twentieth century, rather than being a white plantation owner a hundred or more years earlier; Claudia is older and black; and Daniel Molloy, the interviewer, is aged up and gives off definite Anthony Bourdain vibes, whereas the original could be replaced by "an Anderson Cooper cardboard cutout" according to one website I saw.

                              I think that it's cleverer than the books. There's a line in "The Vampire Lestat" where Lestat accuses Louis of twisting the story to suit an agenda, but the series takes this idea of unreliable narrators and runs with it as a more central theme.

                                    I don't give a shit about the controversy surrounding the cover of the book, funnily enough I have more important things to worry about, but I absolutely loved Lessons in Chemistry on Apple TV.....

                                      Finished Sandman (one of my all time fav comics). More controversies aside, enjoyed the adaptation. Wish Preacher had the same treatment when it was turned into a tv series. Thought it was decent in places but found it lost its way.

                                      Sat here a little anxious about the Buffy revival. When the show ended, the seasons continued as a comic, with Joss Whedon's (more controversy) involvement. Guessing they're about to bin the canon for something new. Bit difficult to bring back certain characters too considering vampires dont age.

                                      Elsewhere, Alien Earth continues to marvel. And Dexter Resurrection has been hugely entertaining.

                                            @SKT Buckle up! The chaos/stress is intrinsic to the shows overall energy. Either you like it or you don't. I probably liked it the most of anybody on this thread.
