What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of April 10, 2026)

Isnt Frenchie ex Israeli soldier that vragged about killing a little girl on social media?

No. This show is fire. I hope it's more than one season though

All you need to know is "somehow, Maul returned"

No

I’ve read several of the Bosch books, even though I’ve seen the series a couple times

My favorite episode was the special about Atom Eve as a child. I wish they explored her powers as an adult. 

Looks cute. Added to my watchlist! Thanks!

I just rewatched Banshee, and I can confidently tell you that it gets significantly better as the season goes on, and takes a big jump in season 2. I didn’t remember how lackluster the start of it was. I think it’s because I’ve watched a lot more television now that I’m more discerning than I was before. Unrealistic, piss poor acting, lazy tropes, but interspersed with epic scenes that are a glimpse of what’s to come. Definitely stick with it. Has the best fight scenes in any show by a wide margin and is just extremely entertaining overall. There’s a decent amount of cringe in season 1, but it’s still good, and season 2 is a big step up. It’s worth continuing to watch it just for one fight sequence alone in season three that’s probably the coolest choreography I’ve ever seen on a screen

I know I'm in the minority, but I 'stuck with it' on The Leftovers and I regret it so much. I hate that show so much. It's just bad.

Is it as depressing as the handmaid’s tale?

Really?? What do you not like about it? Just got done with the first episode and thought it was well done.

Dead Set (UK) Since you like the "hectic chaos" of day one, this is peak. It’s a 5-episode miniseries where a zombie outbreak happens while Big Brother is filming. The contestants are clueless while the world ends outside. It was written by Charlie Brooker (before Black Mirror), so the writing is sharp and the zombies are the terrifyingly fast, 28 Days Later type. No soap opera fluff, just pure panic and tight pacing. To the Lake (Epidemiya) This is a Russian series, and honestly, it handles the "logistics of an outbreak" better than almost anything else. It follows a group trying to get out of Moscow as a respiratory virus turns people into aggressive, pale-eyed shells. It’s very grounded—people worry about fuel, cold, and roadblocks rather than standing around having "feelings" talks. The characters are actually smart and cynical, which makes their survival feel earned. The Strain If you want the "unknown threat catching people by surprise" vibe, the first season is great. It starts with a "dead" plane landing at JFK and the CDC trying to treat it like a biological outbreak. It uses a lot of scientific/procedural terminology which makes the infection feel more "real" and less like a magic curse. The creatures (strigoi) are a genuine, overwhelming threat that keep evolving, so the focus stays on the biology of the threat. Cordon (The Belgian version, NOT the US remake) This is arguably the best "quarantine" show out there. A section of Antwerp is walled off after a lethal virus is found. It nails the claustrophobia and the breakdown of order without the characters acting like total idiots for the sake of the plot. It’s less about "zombies" and more about the raw survival and "hectic chaos" of being trapped in an infected zone. S.O.Z: Soldiers or Zombies This one is a bit more action-heavy but avoids the "dumb survivor" trope because the main players are cartel members and elite soldiers. When a US military experiment goes sideways, you get "smart" zombies that are actually tactical. It skips the melodrama and leans into the chaos of a high-stakes breakout in the desert.

insanely specific lol, good luck!

There is Young Sherlock??? Ive heard about Young Sheldon which I havent seen not have plans to but I mean Sherlock wasnt some sort if prodigy, he wasnt solving cases as a young child LMAO

Maniac is one of the greatest shows ever. No one talks about it I'm glad you are watching it.

I wasn't looking for that kind of show but Wild Cards is on when I'm scrolling in front of the tv and I ended up getting into it. Jason Priestley is a really good fit.

Mr inbetween is a sub favourite for good reason.

You should post more in this thread! Even if it’s just a tidbit of what you’re watching.  You might get good recommendations or find a fellow who shares similar tastes as yours. It’s so lowkey here. Most actually desire to give recs or to talk about the show you mention.  Btw, Mr. Inbetween is pretty awesome. 

It was a bit of a slog to get through season 4 compared to the first 3 I loved. I'm happy it's coming to an end next season.

S2 of high potential just ended last week which was good and all eps r out for beef s2 and something very bad is going to happen which r both on my to-watch list!

Scrubs finishes tonight. Shrinking finished last week. The Pitt finishes tomorrow.

Scrubs season finale airs tonight. Highly recommend the show even if you only have passing knowledge of the original series.

I just finished the first 3 episodes and think that the show has been great thus far. Elle Fanning is going to get an Emmy nomination for sure.

Very much enjoyed all 3 episodes.

I wasn’t in love with the first episode.

Loved it!!!

Yeah we are spoiled with all 3 airing at the same time right now, haha I’m loving it!

Finished Invincible (4x7): holy. shit. balls. That was amazing.

Carnivale is one of those shows that I’ll watch again and again. It’s beautiful. Although the ending was somewhat unsatisfying, the journey to get there is exceptional.

Only very recently watched Oz . Incredibly vibe and writing. Bit hesistant on starting carnivale due to it being cut short

**Treme** is a great slice of life show, Hollywood doesn't make anything like this these days.

All fantastic shows!

I agree and am surprised it hasn't been renewed already.

Spinoffs be like that

Oh thanks for the reminder, wanted to check this out

"I ain't no hollaback girl!" 😂

It's really lingering with me, finished it last night, caught myself thinking about it during the day today

Heck yeah! I’m a fan and I feel it landed the ending. The overall themes of bromance, loneliness and seeking meaning in life were all handled well in my opinion. Totally agreed, it’s equal parts absurd, heartwarming and thought provoking.

Started watching because of Bateman, i love him, but got fairly bored by the middle of the second episode and dropped it.

The actor who plays Frenchie is also *literally* a terrorist in real life, so that doesn't exactly make me want to watch more of him + makes any kind of character development fall on its face when you know the actor behind him is an evil piece of shit.

Yeah there is something seriously off about this season so far. The production value and writing seem to suffer greatly compared to the last 2 seasons. Maybe the show took a hit from the writers strike.

try 'domina' after that... same rome vibe

James Purefoy as Antony is my favourite loveable a****** character on television. Also utters the greatest threat put on TV.

You inspired me to do the same. Watched ep1 last night. Looking forward to more!

It’s an amazing show

> It’s honestly pretty funny at times. It’s enjoyable enough. It's fine for what it is – one of the few network television shows of its day aimed at the nerdy Xennial crowd. The people who grew up on dial-up Internet, think Star Trek: TNG is the best TV show ever made, and attend ComicCon. (I'm describing myself here.) My wife and I watched it weekly throughout its entire run.

Survivor AU continues to put out banger seasons. The longer format, larger casts, physical and unique challenges, casting, are all phenomenal.

The Floor is also back!

Im by no means an expert, but the animation in this show feels reeaally high quality

Hate to break it to you but, From season 4 is about to come out and we are all still waiting for answers....its the shows biggest downfall, introducing more and more questions without answering much of anything. Really hope this season changes that.

From. There are amswers but like most mysterybox shows more questions.

I didnt like the first episode of Season 2 of Monarch, should i give it another shot?

haven't seen that episode yet, but yeah there's a reason it takes so long to come out. season 1 has some absolutely spectacular visuals, the whole carnival episode is just so gorgeous to look at.

Premiere, not pilot - a show can't have a pilot if it's already had two seasons

Maybe you’re an oracle

I started Rooster this weekend, feeling it. I had to look up who did the theme song and it's none other than Michael Stipe with Travis Barker on drums, fun collab. Some great needle drops in the show too (props to any show that sneaks in New Order).

Actually quite funny!

True

100%. It’s not interesting, it doesn’t make me think about life in a certain way, it doesn’t make me think differently about the whole show after knowing how it ends, It’s just sad.

I watched the first 20 minutes or so of the pilot last week and I was just..confused. Like, I didn't know what I was watching. I rewound it like twice and still nothing. Maybe it was just a long day and my brain was powering off.

I'll have to check that out, thanks! appletv has had some great shows

First person i heard speak of this show… what makes it worth watching?

Yes! So many good shows!

Do you watch TV for hours everyday? Genuinely curious how you juggle so many shows!

The first two episodes of MitM reboot were fun, but the last 2 felt like a bit of a mess to me.

Same here, super disappointed in the reboot. I dont know how you can have a reunion and barely have the brothers interact with each other. The show was built off dysfunctional brotherly shenanigans and removing that aspect is a huge mistake. Like Hal and Lois were great but thats about it and thats unfortunate. All of the new characters were unnecessary although Kelly was decent.

>still disappointed with cutting the season a couple of episodes short This season is the same number of episodes as both of the other seasons. It's actually slightly longer because the finale is 75 minutes instead of 60
