Anyone checked out Space Force on Netflix? I liked the trailer but. Bounced off the first episode. It's just not fun. You can see what they're going for but nothing really hits home for me.

Apparently it's the lowest rated/watched Netflix show ever?

My problem is that someone thought making a satire show that is associated with something Trump started (Space Force)...was ALWAYS a mistake. No matter how much they make fun of the idea in the show, or how much they try to make him look imbecile for creating it....you are still giving him space on a prestige TV show with an idea he came up with...so for me that's why I'm not bothering.

I liked it. It's quirky, weird and has downplayed humour to it.

Agreed, although I do understand the criticism that it didn't quite know what it wanted to be. The season finale was ... a bit of a turn too.
I'll watch season 2 if they do it, but after COVID and shaky reviews, they'll want to tighten it up a fair bit.

I agree with you on the season finale. It just kinda seem to come out of nowhere. I think parts of it was that

Spoiler

Naird just up and nope'd out of there.

Holy shit. BK, Hana Kimura (the pink haired wrestler) from TERRACE HOUSE committed suicide.

So sad when I found that out. She was fucking beautiful yet so obviously fragile I found through part 3.

I don’t just don’t see how the show continues in its present form with the Gallery still included and that would just fundamentally change the entire show into The Real World which I will pass on.

Netizens of the Empire, I give you BK's next obsession:

https://www.news.com...c40b67081b927f3

"Wild new reality show ‘Labor of Love’ sees 15 men compete to have baby with stranger."

Hosted by SATC Kristin Davis. Yep, a new low even for America.

IMHO - Pornhub do it much better with no fake drama in under an hour ...

Maybe they could do a Southern version where suitors are judged by photos of their utes ("trucks") and caravans ("trailers")?
Men in a house go straight to round 2.
Men who OWN a house go straight to round 3.

Or maybe she could just go for 15 truck rides ...

It is hella boring.... I managed a full Ep 1 watch but have mostly been net surfing for eps 2-5.

Yawn

Goddamn I miss Live PD weekends!!

Let’s see. I have watched very little tv lately. I’m watching Snowpiercer on TNT. Which is about the only “current” thing I care for. Haven’t finished the last few Killing Eve S3 yet. It’s kinda blah next to 1&2 imo. Mostly just watching FOX and CNN instead of pleasure viewing.

[Briar King]

Oh ok I just went through ep 6 of Labor of Love without watching more then 5 minutes of it and not even being aware it was over till I looked up from phone and saw the History channel was being played.

I’m out...I will dvr the finale just to see who the “lucky” guy is but this show is otherwise a shit fest after the high point in ep 1 all the guys had to go rub one out to check sperm count.

Boring.

Is Apple TV worth a shit? All I can think of when I see this is the rather strange ad for See. I just got a notification on the new phone that I can activate within 90 days a free year of it. So what’s the verdict on the service/quality?

Dunno, I got the free year thing so that I can watch Foundation next year.

Doug Marcaida got away with saying "fuck outta here" on last night's episode of wholesome, family friendly, History channel program - Forged in Fire. We are entering a brave new world people.

One caveat, and a hint on how this was allowed to pass; the weapon being tested was the Falcata. *a-hardee-har-har!

[Briar King]

Guess I ll check out Warrior Nun.

[Briar King]

Watched ep 1 of Warrior Nun. Interesting not epic. Gonna go straight into ep 2.

[Briar King]

Watched ep 2 of Warrior Nun very interesting not epic going straight to ep 3.

Watched Ep 3 of Warrior Nun fairly interesting not epic-going sideways into eP 4.

Anybody else watch Locke and Key?

It's a YA tv show on Netflix about kids who move into a house that has magical keys that have different powers (very much so a nod to Narnia and it is even brought up). I quite enjoyed it! It definitely has its moments of "not even teenagers are this stupid" reasoning about certain actions, but all in all a very visually impressive (I'm assuming) cheap t.v. show for Netflix.

Kept me entertained throughout and waiting for the second season

Yep. And you described it perfectly. It’s got some flaws, but it was good fun.

[Tsundoku]

I started it, but after having read the comic it was way too drawn out YA teen-angst for me.

[Briar King]

Been so awesome reliving all this glorious Bachelor past season highlights for 3 hrs each Monday night in these no new show Corona times. Esp excited for tonight as they show both S1’s which was way before this homie’s(haha I just got called this and other colorful words tonight on txt messages I can’t repeat here) time. Going back to 2002 here, and it’s crazy at just how ancient it looks!
