That first watch of Mr Robot is so good
I’ve rewatched it a bunch of times and it’s just not the same.
I'm smashing through Outlander and I'm already at s3. I absolutely fucking love it, it's easy on the eye, not hard to follow and engaging. Also it's chick porn. Thanks for sharing the link about it Skavau it's brought me much joy!
Yeah, my partner and I got to about where you're at and bailed because we got bored of the constant fucking, lol. Good show otherwise though.
Yep it's deffo chick porn!
The horror anime called "Monster" is getting really good.

It's a Argentinian series. I liked it, especially the story. The cinemography special effects, the actors and so on were not a bit amateurish, but the story is worth it.
Also Iwatched it with the English dubbing, normally I watch in original with subtitles but somehow I was to tired to concentrate on the subtitles.
Blazing through old Malcolm in the Middle with my wife.
As a middle child with a highly dysfunctional family, I related to the show way more than is healthy. But my wife never watched it regularly (she was an only child with a military dad) and so I'm getting her fixed up in that.
Black Mirror - Hotel Reverie
I enjoyed it overall, but I did not like Issa Rae’s acting.
Emma Corrin in contrast was amazing.
Just binge-watched Bad Sisters season 1 on Apple TV. Excellent dramady with dark humor. There is a season 2 but I am afraid I won't enjoy it as much since season 1 wrapped up so nicely.
Been on a bit of an 80s/90s cannon-esque schlock binge as of late, last night was Braddock: Missing in Action III (I passed out lol) a few days ago was Bloodsport.
Wow, so few anime watchers around here. I'm keeping up with a lot of stuff, but here are main ones:
Lord of Mysteries: Chinese guy reincarnates into a Victorian steampunk fantasy setting (without any of the steam for some reason) with fantasy powers and is trying to return home.
City the Animation: A bunch of goofy characters go about their day to day lives in CITY city. Much better (and funnier!) than it sounds.
Kijin Gentosho (also misleadingly known as Sword of the Demon Hunter): Guy has everything taken away from him, later hunts demons for a living while trying to figure out what it means to live. Also better than it sounds.
Rewatched the Evangelion Rebuild movies.
Better than I remembered, but I still don’t get why Mari/Mary/Maria? (The subs I used were a bit confusing) exists. Would be better without her tbh
- Together
Pretty decent, solid 3.75/5
- Weapons
I'd have made some different choices with the pacing, but ultimately an entertaining flick with some unexpectedly hysterical segments. 4.25/5
- South Park
Parker/Stone giving the finger as always. Fuckin love those guys
- always sunny
Love these fuckers too, and this season hasn't disappointed
- Love island
I know its brain rot, but I think of it like watching social experiments being performed on the people who would have bullied me in high school.
Just watched Terminal List. It is pretty good.
The Australian horror film "Dangerous Animals" puts a spin on the traditional format for a shark movie. It was excellent and had me squirming in my chair. It felt fresh and I'm hoping it helps Jai Courtney get similar roles in the future.
literally nothing. I haven't watched a TV show or movie in feels like over a year now. :/ nothing seems worth it, it's all boring and I never remember most of it after I watch it so I just don't bother
