TV show thread (2022-?)

There are wayyyyyyy worse things that your kids could be watching… Mark Rober is an engineer that worked on the Mars Curiosity rover for NASA and now shares his passion for engineering through YouTube and his Crunchlabs products.

Could very easily be watching Minecraft brain rot…….

Sure, the engineering stuff is cool, and we were enjoying the show. But that wasn’t the crux of my post.

Well you stretch it out in one episode of what everyone was expecting to see from the last episode and then cliff hanger into what everyone wanted from two episodes ago, rinse and repeat and we basically do a cycle

Finished this one last night, I didn’t mind it.

It was a couple of years ago, but I thought the last series let the first few down.

The first 2 were way better.

If Pluribus season 2 starts filming in let’s say, March 2026, on the early side of spring, 21 months after that would be December 2027. So, even with a filming start date relatively quickly after season 1 here, that would mean the show would return in December 2027, if not early 2028, over two years from now. Even if production time is reduced this time, I don’t imagine it would be much under two years.

However, unlike all those Breaking Bad episodes crammed into about five years, if we’re keeping these gaps between seasons like we’re probably about to see, we could be talking about almost a decade before four seasons would be finished, a tall order even for a patient fanbase. Hopefully, they can reduce production time from here.

sigh
House of the Dragon has two year gaps between seasons.
Makes it very hard to care.

It should be illegal.

As should cancelling Santa Clarita Diet.

Ha, reminded me that HotD still exists. You’d think I’d remember them choosing NOT to do The Big Battle in their season finale.

*ahem…

Still annoyed.

Apropos the likely gaps between seasons in Pluribus, it seems to mirror the issues I had watching Better Call Saul. IIRC the gaps between seasons of Saul meant I actually gave up watching until it had all dropped and then binged it. Seems extreme waiting a decade to pull off a similar stunt for Pluribus.

No more sunrise for me. My joints are waking up to TODAY on 9!

So .. its Christmas.
Apologies, hard to think as such given recent events :sleepy_face: at a certain eastern Sydney suburban beach.

But, I’ve just re-watched Fishes .. that incredible episode of The Bear set at Christmas with Jamie Lee Curtis etc. whilst Mikey was alive. Phew .. earnt all the awards it received that show .. but that episode !

Still a phenomenal piece of par excellence of a TV show.
Cannot wait for Series 5 in '26 tbh.

I cannot believe that ABC TV still haven’t progressed All Creatures beyond season 4 . Particularly with Christmas here and the UK having just broadcast all of season 6.

Still gives me anxiety thinking about it.

I reckon The Bear dropped away at a rapid rate. I couldn’t even get to the end of season 4 it had become so schmaltzy.

Just started watching Les Norton on Netflix.

Aussie crime drama / comedy that’s pretty good. It is a genre we do very well in this country. And i can watch Justin Rosniak all day.

Only one season though, sadly.
