I just finished the anime series Monster on Netflix and it is a superb piece of work.

If you have Apple TV and into espionage/conspiracy thrillers, Liaison is pretty nice. Final episode airs next Friday.

Beef (Netflix) - Smartly written adult drama series with dashes of dark comedy and thriller elements. Superbly acted by Steven Yeun and Ali Wong together with an able supporting cast. The road rage set-up might seem familiar, but the direction the show goes and escalates to is quite absorbing. The characters are never simply in black or white, but shades of gray -- all very fallible, flawed and deeply human. There are portions when it can be a hard watch, but it does pay off in the end.

Just finished Jury Duty. It’s like the movie The Truman Show where everyone else is in on the joke except one guy who thinks he really is a foreman in a real case and a documentary is being filmed about them. Absurdly funny but I don’t think they can replicate it for another season.

Started watching Love & Death on HBO Go yesterday (Elizabeth Olsen, Jessie Plemons). Highly recommended. If it was a book, I'd say it's "unputdownable".

Love And Death with Elizabeth Olsen and Jessie Plemons. May ganitong series pala si Elizabeth. Very engaging. And Jessie Plemons is great, too.

May other series pala based on the Candy Montgomery story with Jessica Biel simply called Candy. Will watch that too.

Aussies are really doing it better. Parang Survivor style with a hundred diverse players

From (Epix/MGM)

Great premise, too short a season and slow to reveal but a cliffhanger on season 2, makes it more interesting.

Anyone else watching Jury Duty on Prime Video? Very funny show.

Schitt's Creek. Learned about this after searching for Annie Murphy due to Black Mirror.

Funny show. Love the sarcasm. Around 22 mins per episode lang din. Kaya 1 season per night kung i binge.

It swept the Emmys a few years back.

Muscles and Mayhem. A docuseries about the American Gladiators. I was such a big fan when I was a kid. It's nice to know the OG gladiators are still round.

Just started watching BBC's Killing Eve. I'm hooked!

Not really an obscure show but I just started watching Alias. The pilot aired 22 years ago and I just watched the second episode. 😁

If you feel blue, watch the holiday specials of British shows. Recently saw Ghosts, Call the Midwife, and Beyond Paradise. It’s like a warm hug on a cold night.

There’s a bbc reality show called Traitors that you might want to check out. There are contestants called the Faithful who have to perform challenges to increase their grand prize , then they have to “banish” or vote out fellow contestants who they suspect are the show’s chosen Traitors.
The traitors plot to kick off or “ murder” strong or smart contestants each night , as part of their strategy, while acting innocent and influencing others during the day. In the end, if the Faithful successfully boot out all the Traitors, they share the cash prize. But if there is even one Traitor remaining, he gets all the cash.

Probably one of the standout miniseries of 2023. I am sad that many won't be able to see this but it is extraordinary among spy thrillers and has to be up there with the likes of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It has a sublime script and acted superbly by an excellent cast.

Btw, this is one of the rare times for me to see Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers, Homeland, Billions) speaking in an English accent. This accent's a bit snotty too and probably not his daily driver.

Currently watching the US version. Nakakaaliw din naman.

I started to get addicted watching episodes of this British game show on YouTube called Pointless. It's sort of like reverse Family Feud meets Jeopardy. The goal of the game is to give the most obscure correct answers to trivia questions the LEAST number of 100 people surveyed got and if you get a correct answer than none of the 100 people answered correctly, you score a pointless answer and they add money to the jackpot. For example: if the question is "Name a U.S. president". You don't answer "Barack Obama" or "George Bush". You have to reach deep into your brain and pull out, let's say, "Ulysses S. Grant" or "Martin Van Buren" which would guarantee you lower or even no points.

Though it sometimes get too UK-centric, it is pretty fun and relaxing to watch and play along to see how much obscure knowledge you actually know.

halvert · « **Reply #358 on:** Mar 04, 2024 at 04:24 PM »

^ yup i’ve watched this, too because i wanted to see the stars of BBC’s Ghosts (Larry rickard and ben willbond) how they fared.
Another good show is QI, celebrities try to guess the answers to some Quite Interesting trivia.

11.22.63

Looks to have the potential to be an interesting series.

medyo late ko na na discover itong 11.22.63. episode 3 pa lang ako, maganda nga.
