I don’t watch shows anymore I just watch serpadesign feed his frogs on YouTube x
I don't wanna overanalyze the meme, but it is irritating when you can't have a conversation with someone without their whole identity being based on whatever they've recently watched. Then if you haven't seen it, them uncreatively explaining the plot to you.
TV shows are just an easy conversational topic... that's all it is.
Growing up in the years before and during Cable television, I am positive television was the most talked about topic over any and all aside from basic hello.
And if you didn't have cable, well you'd get filled in on whatever, but were oddly OK with it.
It makes sense, people connect through shared experiences, and TV is an easy way to do that.
500 yrs ago we'd be standing in line at the grist mill chatting about the royal parade a few days ago.
Yea you're right, I can't be too upset.
As someone who very rarely watches series, this really hits home. I just rarely have the patience to do so, and because of that I also don't have any streaming subscriptions. I'd rather play games, because the interaction makes them a lot more rewarding to me. To each their own though, other people don't play games so they'll have the same problem with me
I can agree, I also am interested in more niche things that mainstream shows, so any title in the meme is totally unknown to me
And there are so many games that just gaming isn't enough. I know nothing about my coworker's Rocket League gaming.
Severance is great. I watched it on my 3-month trial to Apple TV.
Seen one of those (The Boys). Maybe two if you count the first season of Westworld (don't plan on watching more because it's supposed to be shite).
I only really bother with Mike Flanagan's single season stuff on Netflix, because the man knows how to open and close a story. Others should take note. Don't start a story unless you know how it's going to end and how long it's going to take to get there.
"This is popular, let's make more" is an attitude that has ruined television.
Agreed about Flanagan. I feel like now’s the time to have more one season stories for easier digestion. Especially since so many of them turn to shit so quickly. Ted Lasso being a recent example. Holy shit that last season was horrendous.
The Bear is very very good
I still haven’t recovered from a certain Season 2 episode
The fishes, right?
That somehow made me love Jamie Lee Curtis even more...
Also Mr. Robot and Foundation and Good Omens and Fleabag and the new Beavis and Butthead and Station Eleven and Doctor Who is about to get good again and Irma Vep was great but I don't think that one's coming back
Beavis and Butthead
wait there's a new one? I've been living under a rock!
There are two new seasons and a movie!
I honestly believe half of these shows are fake and you can’t change my mind
I've seen half the shows listed and they're all pretty decent. And this is from someone who just cycles one subscription and watches whatever looks interesting on the current subscription.
I feel this way about video games.
Same, Baulder's Gate 3 is out. It's fantastic and I don't have much motivation to spend money on it. TOTK takes up all the time I allow myself to play video games. I still haven't even started Elden Ring.
The Last of Us and The Boys.
Haven't seen anything (or even heard of a lot) of the others. Not that they are bad shows. I just like to waste my time in other activities.
Like video games. Not shows, but still wasting time.
A problem I often have is finding something good enough to kinda watch, but not SO good that I feel like I’m missing something if I screw around with my tablet while it’s on.
Between shows and my steam backlog who has time for it all? Then there is all that other stuff like work, making dinner, getting outdoors, family...
Haven't watched any of these and I don't feel like curling in fetal position. What's wrong with me, doctor?
more than half of those shows mentioned are unwatchable garbage.
Let me guess...Everybody will agree with this statement, but also everybody will have a different opinion on which shows are the garbage.
I feel this
Have you spoken with the ship’s counsellor captain?
We have a standing appointment
I fail to understand why the appointment cannot be carried out sitting down captain this seems illogical and highly irregular. Is the ship short of suitable seating equipment?
My wife and I have like 3 comfort shows that we just rewatch all year round. And this is kind of how it's like when we meet up with our friends who have watched everything new as it releases.
The only one of these I recognize is Westworld. I cut the cord after the first season and never looked back.
Wait until you hear about these things called "books"…
I haven't even heard of half of these shows, let alone watched them. Who even has time to watch all of these?
Are you... Me?
Personally that agony of indecision has saved me probably thousands of pounds - I've never subscribed to a single streaming service, knowing that having to actually choose what to watch instead of settling for the least shit thing currently on tv, would paralyse me for hours each day.
Been boycotting the media for about a decade. It frankly makes it difficult to make small talk when you refuse to know about the latest trends that Big Media sells to the populace
If The White Lotus isn't a TLA spinoff I'm gonna invade the Rhineland.
Edit: looking for volunteers
Who added wednesday?
Stopped watching shows, only torrenting old stuff and the odd cartoon here or there. Picked up comics recently though, lots of stuff coming out but it's oddly different, it feels more like record collecting.
Great... more shows to download that I probably won't watch because I'm still trying to catch up with older ones at least I just finished The Wire....
If you like Serpadesigns, give homemade ecosystems a looksie. Similar content but more silly
And just think if Hollywood continues to let this strike go on, we’re going to have the opposite problem.
My ADHD is in this picture and it doesn't know why Jupiter is not another star.
I am out of touch and I don't recognize 85% of the names, and I am suspecting that those are made up so that the comic resonates with informed people as well. And the artist seems to have little imagination ("The Watcher" is obviously a play on "The Witcher").
They're all real and at least half of them are very good.
Fellas, is it a crime to want to share something you enjoy? As long as you aren't demonizing people who haven't seen it, who cares?
