It's Saturday what have you watched this week?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Started watching The Orville this week.
Just started Deli Boys. Very funny.
Agree! It’s refreshing
I've not heard of that, what kind of humour is it?
Very dark
I actually don't agree with @socsa@piefed.social. It deals with relatively dark subject matter (drugs and murder—no sexual violence or anything like that), but I find it does it in a rather flippant way, and feels like quite an easy watch in the way Parks & Rec or Brooklyn Nine Nine were easy watches.
The basic premise is two Pakistani-American brothers' father dies, and they discover he was a big-time mob boss dealing in drugs. One of the brothers is a bit of a drop kick, spending his days getting high. The other is very uptight and straight-laced, and wanted to follow in his father's footsteps...or what he thought were his footsteps running a large deli empire. The two of them end up selected as co-"CEOs" of the drug business because they get chosen as a compromise between the two actual mobsters who were competing to be next leader. In the middle of all this, an FBI agent is trying to pin them with their connections to illegal drugs. But the FBI agent's boss is a Gilderoy Lockhart type (if you're familiar with Harry Potter) full of himself but actually totally incompetent.
It's quite silly and absurd situational comedy, IMO.
Sounds like it's a bit of lots of things thanks 😊
I'm binge watching all three seasons of Log Horizon. And already in the third one. Fuck, I forgot how fun that anime series was.
Does the log ever reach the sun?!
It depends on the amount of errors and if you used the -verbose option.
My group of friends watched the new episode of Severance. We got more questions than answers lol.
Yeah, this is the Severance experience, I just hope they answer all the questions at the end, I don't want to experience

Lost
Again.
This is my fear since the start of season 2.
Watched all six Scream movies. Was really quite fun!
That sounds like a scream.
...I'll show myself out.
Haha thanks dad!
I just started watching Parks and Rec for the first time. Just started season 2
Ate a gummy and watched Prey, that was something
All in all, a slow week for watching, but a busy one in every other way
Season 2 is loads better IMO they stopped trying to be the office.
That's what I've heard, the spouse and I are giving season two a chance.
I will say in season 1 Leslie says her mom is as pretty as Margaret Thatcher and goddamn i belly laughed for a couple minutes on that one
Ha! I'm British so totally approve of that joke
I'd been meaning to watch Severance since season one came out, and I guess the viral marketing finally got to me so I binged it.
Season one is awesome. Season two is ehhhhhh. We'll see if season two can pull it together in the last episode.
I will say, much like Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul, I appreciate that Adam Scott and Zach Cherry were given a chances in more serious roles, because they both kill it. Although I found Irving and Dylan to be much more interesting characters, as their stories just appealed to me more for whatever reason.
Completely agree about season two. It's been a bit of disappointment so far
Watching Laverne & Shirley right now with my brother
CopLand (1997) - An iconic cast doing what they do best. Stallone as Sheriff Freddy was fantastic.
The Drop (2014) - The late, great James Gandolfini supporting Tom Hardy in a well thought out gangster drama.
Oblivion (2013) - Tom Cruise plays a drone technician in a post-alien-invasion Earth. Olga Kurylenko is the most beautiful woman. Entertaining.
The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947) - A feel-good ghost story about dying alone (somehow).
Prisoners (2013) - Hugh Jackman and Terrance Howard have a real rough week, with Jake Gyllenhaal giving a masterclass as the blinking detective.
Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) - Nicholas Cage gets his balls blown off because he thought about having sex with a woman whose chin could beat Jay Leno's in thumb wrestling. Movie was and hour and a half too long (runtime 1.43)
You win best summary award
A++
Call The Midwife!
And A Street Cat Named Bob. Very uplifting
Sabrina the Teenager Witch - the one from the 90s. It's super corny but my daughter loves it, so we watch an episode or two after dinner.
I tried watching a movie from the '60s about the Algerian anti-colonialist story, but the flatform clapped out. Which is a shame because I was really getting into it.
F1 qualifying!
Pamfir, Wild Men, See How They Run and Last Night in Soho.
Finished every season of Dexter.
- Dexter (8 seasons)
- Dexter New Blood (1 season)
- Dexter Original Sin (1 season)
Awaiting for the newest season, Resurrection.
Currently trying out SweetPea but it just seems not for me. Have watched 2 episodes but can’t really get into it. I will probably watch Jackal or Shogun instead.
Omelette du fromage?
I... guess I didn't watch anything. My kids tend to monopoloze the TV
The Last of Us. I finished the first game this week so started the series, it's pretty good. Easy 9/10
I've just started sugar on apple which I like. It's got Colin Farrel in it and it's easy watching, kinda film noir style. I've just given up netflix so I finished girls5eva and bojack, both of which I really like.
I'm on holiday, so I watched the sunrise at the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. Would definitely recommend.
Invincible Season one episode one. It's been a long while so I'm rewatching with the new seasons
I finished watching series called 1983. I liked it.
- Law & Order SVU and NCIS on OTA TV (antenna)
- Mythbusters on Pluto
- C-SPAN website video for the shenanigans--
I don't care what anyone says, the season end of Invincible was extremely well done.
Well, I am actually watching a lot of stuff, but in a nutshell:
I carched up with Severance and Invincible.
I am at several episodes to finish Mr Robot third season.
I am slowly advancing through Cardcaptor Sakura anime and plan to start to watch the new DareDevil show.
