Watching any good TV?

[MerlinDrazziw]

After Silo I started watching Changeling on Apple TV+. Finished the first season (only season so far) a few days ago.
It was interesting enough to continue watching, but I haven't determined if it is good or just ok. Maybe next season? (it has an open ending)

Next on Apple TV+ is Curses! by Dreamworks.
A cartoon series about a cursed family that's trying to lift the curses.
Already 3 episodes in and like it. In concept it's a multi seasonal series, so I hope it doesn't take long for the next seasons to air.

Finished Curses! on Apple TV+ a while ago. Nice series, but they could have put out more episodes considering the storyline. Don't expect more from it.
Added 3 series on my watch list:
- Constellation - Scifi drama I guess (3 eps. available, still have to watch it)
- Argylle - looks like a fun spy movie (in cinemas now)
- The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin - must be a close to reality historic costume drama series that starts next friday

As for HBO Max+:
Still watching Legacy series and put On the Roam on hold.
Started watching Superman & Lois series that's ok so far (not great yet).
Also started watching Ninja Kamui, a new anime with only 2 episodes so far.

Finished Legacy on HBO Max+, very good series. Plays from around 1920 till 1945 in Shanghai.
Ninja Kamui is still ongoing .. great anime.

As for Apple TV+ .. Constellation and Dick Turpin are still ongoing, like them both.
Argylle is available, if it is a movie I should comment on it in the movie thread when I've watched it.

Got an extra streaming service for free: SkyShowtime.
Started watching Star Trek: Strange: New Worlds right away.

Oh, I took Argylle off my list as it appeared to be a buy/rental movie.

Started watching Metalocalypse series on HBO Max. If I enjoy the series until the last episode I'll watch the movie as well.

I've been watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix, having read the book several years ago. It's pretty good, moving along at a quick clip too. They actually fit more than just the first book in the first season. So far a lot of the minor details/structure have changed just by virtue of it being a translation, but all of the minor changes serve the overall direction of the plot very well. So far. I'm sure it helps that D and D have an actual completed series of novels to work from instead of just yarn from GRRM's head.

Have watched (and am watching) a few series since last update.

HBO Max:

SkyShowtime:
- finished Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2 seasons): great series
- finished A Discovery of Witches (2 seasons): open end, would love to see more
- finished Star Trek: Discovery: rewatched the first 4 seasons followed by de last season. They could have made more seasons I think, but it's ended now.
- finished Star Trek: Prodigy (1 season): already read there will be a 2nd season. Will definitely watch that.
- finished Quantum Leap (1 season): I know there are more seasons as I have the complete series on DVD (wrong region)
- watching Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness (2 seasons): love these shorts
- on watch list: Beforeigners

Apple TV+:
- finished season 2 of The Big Door Price: just as good as the first season
- finished Dark Matter (1 season): good series with a kind of multiverse theme
- started Sunny: only 2 episodes in, but is promising
- started WondLa: a good looking animated series. Still 1 episode to watch.
- on watch list: Time Bandits
- was also watching Franklin, but I don't know if I will continue watching it. Not bad, but just not what I like to watch.
- still to come: new season of Pachinko on august 23

Nice, I was going to ask if you were going to queue up Time Bandits when it came out. You'll have to let me know what you think of it when you get around to watching it!

It's available now. Taika Waititi (OFMD) is in it. If I'm correct it's based on the same story from the 1981 movie.
I'll probably start watching this weekend if there's no other new episodes are available from other shows.

Watched 4 episodes. It's a fun and chaotic series so far. Same kind of humor from OFMD and probably more actors from OFMD featuring in it.
