What we do in the shadows. The show is based off the Taika Waititi/Jermaine Clement film of the same name. And is also written by Jermaine Clement

It’s a comedy/mocumentary about a group of vampires. The characters are really well written and it straddles the line between the banality of everyday life as a vampire, and obviously the weird supernatural aspects of vampires. It recently aired it’s final episode so you can binge it now and get through the whole thing.

If you like the office/community/parks and rec/I.T. Crowd type of stuff I think you’ll really like it

If you like what you we in the shadows, to might also enjoy “our flag means death”.

Created by and starring Waititi. Based on the true story of the gentleman pirate.

The Expanse. I forgot how good the earlier seasons were, and looking forward to seeing the newer stuff for the first time.

Severance is the best show of the 2020s IMHO.

Silo is dogshit. The pacing is so unnecessarily dragged out. And season 2 is boring af. No idea why they did what they did. The books had perfect pacing.

You may be ok if you’re not waiting week to week for a new episode. S1 was good…really good. S2 is still good but slow.

Meh, there are always people who think their opinion is the only valid one. FWIW, I’m enjoying the hell out of S2 and liked S1 and the books. If you’re enjoying what you’re seeing so far, keep it going and hopefully you’ll keep liking it and if you don’t, you can always quit.

Me fast forwarding through the underwater stuff so I don’t have to hold my breath. Might get the books for the same reason.

You don’t have to hold your breath during the underwater stuff. It’s not a video game.

Is it just me or has the main character really done nothing all season except several failed attempts at a supply run? My brain keeps tuning out

Season one of Silo was great. Season two is a poorly edited mess.

Silo season 1 was 5% plot, 5% character development, and 90% emoting to dramatic music, so I didn’t bother checking out season 2.
