    I want to see this one eventually but it looked better as a weekend binge watch to me when the season is over versus checking out a new episode once a week.

    I quite like the one week wait, but that's more down to how much content I'm able to watch (or am up for), at the moment. I imagine it will be a terrific binge show too.

    Episode two was just as good as the first one, but the plot didn't progress that much (not that that was a bad thing). Will watch episode three some time this week.

    I don't mind it with certain shows but there are some that instantly give me a vibe as to whether or not it'd be juicier to enjoy it week after week or just soak it all in in a day or two. Some shows seem better in terms of their pacing when watched in such a short period of time, I feel like. Can't wait to check this one out eventually, the production design and costumes and everything seem ridiculously on point and accurate for the most part.

    Is this an intended series for HBO or merely a limited one? Can't say I've read into it as much as I would've liked.

    I'm like that too with most shows. This time it was different: I didn't feel like finding a show to binge, and I had no other new shows to watch. So I just gave the first episode a go, and when I'd finished it, I got the feeling like this was a show I could watch on an episode a week schedule. The production quality is great; the easiest comparison to make is Boardwalk Empire, which too was very on point production design and costume wise. Matthew Rhys is brilliant in the title role.

    According to Wikipedia it's a mini series, so I imagine the episodes listed is all we're going to get. I could be wrong though.

    This animated sci-fi anthology holds high quality.

    I had been thinking of doing this for some time. Some episodes stick in my mind, but there are a lot that I don't remember, especially the last two series. So I am looking forward to revisiting this 90's phenomenon from the beginning. Kicking off with...
    Series: 1
    Episodes:
    Pilot
    Deep Throat

    One of the funniest things I've seen in recent times. Those 14 seasons went down easily.

    Been working my way through the series in full for the first time, @DarthDimi, and I love it so much. It's hilarious.

    @Creasy47 It is, isn't it? And it also so doesn't care about offending people. I like its free-spirited attitude. Also, DeVito is PERFECT!

    DeVito is an underrated genius. To think that people like him, Douglas and Nicholson were the top actors in the industry not so long ago. And then they started to fade away slowly. Nicholson even disappearing, which is a crying shame. DeVito should be in every single movie ever made ;)

    I love that DeVito took on the role because he wanted to stay fresh in the game and not have a spoiled, dull career, and it ends up being one of the best things he's worked on (in a long list of great things he's worked on). So hilarious, the whole gang's camaraderie and banter never fails to make me laugh.

    There were a few episodes here and there that I missed, so I started from the beginning again on LILYHAMMER. Very funny show.

    Series: 1
    Episodes:
    Roland
    The Erlenmeyer Flask


    That brings the first series to a close. It's funny to revisit this show, and find what episodes stuck out, versus ones I had forgotten. Pilot, Tooms/Squeeze Ice, and The Jersey Devil are among the former.

    Watching Two and a Half Men against my will. Even with Charlie, it’s horrible and all my dad watches it seems.

    STAR TREK (the original series)

    Loved this show as a kid, when I would visit a neighbour with a Swedish TV2 antenna in order to see those reruns every Wednesday. Never saw the whole thing before, and had no idea there was another captain before Kirk.

    It doesn t hold up so well today. especially the special effects are bad, but it is enjoyable for the nostalgia factor, and it also brings up some interesting scientological occult thematics.

    THE OFFICE

    The original British version is still the best. Seen most of it before, and bought the box this summer, so having a go at the whole thing. Brent is hilarious, and Gareth is even funnier.

    I've been on a massive COLUMBO fixation lately. Recently bought the complete series DVD set, and been randomly picking episodes to watch. Right now I'm watching the final episode COLUMBO LIKES THE NIGHTLIFE. Loving every moment!

    COLUMBO LIKES THE NIGHTLIFE was a good Swan Song all things considered, some of the later episodes were not great. I have the Cigar Box Set essential viewing, I have not had a rewatch for a few years.

    COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE

    This Jerry Seinfeld series is mostly uninteresting, and his fake bouts of laughter are very annoying, especially when there is nothing fun going on. Some of the episodes are quite amusing however, like the ones with Ricky Gervais and Michael Richards.

    THE QUEEN S GAMBIT

    Intriguing high-quality series. This is very popular right now.

    SPITTING IMAGE

    Loved this in the 80s. The new version is just as funny and well made, but they do take it a bit too far at times.

    Given all the political shenanigans of the last few weeks, I thought I'd binge watch The West Wing. I'd only ever dipped in and out of the odd episode before so I aim on watching it from start to finish. Currently about midway through Season 3.

    Incidentally, Charlie (the young Body Man) to President Bartlett is a huge Bond fan.

    Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S7 E1, good start to the final season, its shame the show is ending its been good for the most part, certainly from season 3 onward.

    My wife and I just spent the last 3 months going through Game of Thrones for the first time since I never had HBO when it originally aired.

    I won't elaborate on what's been said overall but its one of the best shows of all time.
