What TV Shows Are you Watching?

[Rev. Powell]

Finished THE SANDMAN a while back.

Last night I started GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES. First episode was not bad, but not one of the three I was looking forward to. We'll see what the future holds.

I enjoyed the 2nd episode more than the first (not saying the first was bad or anything).

[Morpheus, the unwoke.]

Law & order,  NCIS, FBI.

I agree, the second was a bit more fun. Always enjoy a grave-robbing plot. Third episode up tonight.

I just watched the whole series this week.  Some were better than others, but all were pretty good.

[Rev. Powell]

Third was better than the second which was better than the first. I like how this is trending.

I finished The Rings of Power and I'm glad I watched it. It had more annoying/bad moments than good, and no great moments, but it was not without good parts to recommend it, so...I hope it gets better, and I am not regretting seeing it. The two best sections of the show were (to my surprise) those set among the proto-hobbits, and the dwarves, who were immeasurably better-presented than the dwarves in 2010s The Hobbit films. Galadriel, the elves, Numenor, the goings-on in the Southlands (aka future Mordor) all ranged from boring to bad to insulting to Tolkien. If I were to grade the series...I'd give the entire presentation about a C-. Though I will say the aspects I did not like were readily identifiable and correctable, if anyone in charge of the show should choose to do so.

I watched it with a mindset that separated it entirely from Tolkien and just saw it as "another fantasy tv show". By that standard, I thought it was ok and would rate it slightly higher, but not by a huge amount (C I guess).

Almost done with House of the Dragon and have enjoyed it a bunch.

Let me know when you've watched episode 5, Pickman's Model.

[Gabriel Knight]

I'm rewatching STARGATE SG-1, I'm not even halfway through the first season, and I already remembered why it's my favorite show of all times, and the best sci-fi series ever created.
It's absurdly good. The dialog, stories, characters, villains, and overall progression of the show, all combines perfectly into a never-ending adventure, filled with existential and moral discussions. Even the wardrobes and sceneries are marvelous. And this includes the ones that look really cheap.

[Morpheus, the unwoke.]

Westworld.

Stranger Things & Cabinet of Curiosities.

Very good, solid Lovecraft adaptation! I also liked episode 4, "Outsider," which was a nice black comedy change of pace. This is a high-quality anthology series.

The only thing I didn't like about that episode was Glover's accent. I was wondering if it was an accurate one?
