What TV Shows are you watching?

[ChristodeBoyet]

I never cried so hard over an anime until I watched Erased. It was toughie haha.

[catluckey]

@ChristodeBoyet I don't know how they do it, but those folks are some of the best storytellers EVER!!! Yes! Erased had me on the edge of my seat, made me utterly, utterly sad. Especially about the young girl and mother!

[jpnakashima]

@dawgofdawgness I got to watch Always Sunny! Only watched clips my friend sent me and when we hang out it's expected for us to sing Nightman and, of course, DAYMAN! FIGHTER OF THE NIGHTMAN!!

@Shanny8 I started with Flash and it took me a while to get into Arrow, but once I did, it was love. For all its faults, I really like it. The ensemble, themes, action scenes, it's cool to me. We're kind of opposite, because I love Supergirl (though it's hard for me to not give love for something with the S in it) and Legends is the gift the keeps on giving. Season 3 has been so good, just uncompromised fun.
Punisher is a complex subject to discuss, but what I believe wholeheartedly is that he can't be a good guy. Frank Castle is the mythification of morally righteous violence. It really diminishes the character for me the way they made him about ''revenge for his family''. I love the Punisher, but I think his great stories understand that he's not a hero, he's a badly damaged and dangerous man. I love the Ennis and Aaron MAX stuff and the suggestion the last thing his wife heard was him asking for divorce. Was their murder a reason or an excuse? Because his war will never end, so those are interesting questions, to me.
And dude, I started this post because I'm so crazy about Legion right now!! Hop to it, it's so great!!

@catluckey Ayy another Arrowverse fan!! You keeping up with Legends? This Season has been crazy!!

[catluckey]

Heeeyyy! I kept up with last season. I decided I'd watch this season on Netflix and binge. Now I did see the Christmas crossover of 4 eps with all the superheroes shows crossing...Supergirl, Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow! They're so much fun when they're together. It's like one hug party!

[jpnakashima]

You mean the Earth X one?? This crossover was the greatest!! haha
Huge hug party indeed!! The writers really took the opportunity to make them all interact in different ways and what a delight. Alex and Sara, Rory and Caitlyn, Kara and Oliver is always the best. I thought the final showdown was kind of a let down (they had to have a Fuhrer Flash there as final boss) but it was overall such fun with the Power Rangers camp vibe and oh my god don't even get me started on how I cried with that last episode...

[catluckey]

Ohhhhh, I know! And that final one with our favorite professor and young understudy. They are such a sweet duo...I'm wondering what they'll do now...and if the writers will reset things. It was a tear-jerker! I don't want to spoil things for someone else.

I'm also still going through Star Trek: Deep Space 9, which starts out good and gets even better. I also watch cartoons with my kids. Right now we're watching Regular Show (slow burner) and rewatching Batman: The Brave and the Bold. I've had to rerun some cartoons because there aren't enough good shows to keep up with our appetites.

While The Punisher isnt exactly a good guy, he's a full measure that is sometimes needed...

So we sometimes need crazy war vets having shootouts in urban areas?

[jpnakashima]

I was never really into Star Trek, but I read reviews from the m0vieblog occasionally (dude writes so well I read the reviews of stuff I've never seen and get hyped) and DS9 is the one I would like to see someday. The way he puts it, it's the most humanist of ST and it seems really heartfelt and well done.

I'm so fond of both Regular Show and Brave and the Bold! RS is my favorite of the Cartoon Network renaissance batch. It's not always the best, but I love the regular to absurd ratio and the last couple of episodes are so epic and beautiful. I cried a lot. I cry a lot watching stuff, though. BatB is a given since I'm obsessed with Silver Age Batman. Batman does eat nachos hm?

Also, the Punisher yeah. I 100% disagree that the Punisher is ever justifiable, but as I said above, I think it's an interesting and complex discussion. I think it's crazy (and dangerous and monstrous) though the whole Chris Kyle appropriating Punisher iconography debacle and the implications of stuff like that in a world of mass shooters.

[joe_galindez]

I have a list of DS9 episodes to skip if you only want to see the show's many high points. You could just go with any episode with an IMDB score of 8.0 or higher, but I like to dig into these things.

People defend the Punisher, but that's only because he never makes a mistake. I don't think he's ever shot the wrong person (it was a big deal the one time he thought it happened) but that's not an endorsement of his conduct so much as it is an artifact of him being fictional. I mean, I could write a story about a boxer who cures sick people by punching them. He's never failed to cure someone, even if they were dying, but that doesn't make punches an acceptable form of therapy in the real world.

A course of action is only good if it is a good thing if everyone in the world was to follow it. So, imagine an average person. Imagine how they'd do as a deadly vigilante. Granted, they have no training, so let's imagine your average cop or soldier. How well would they do as a one-man justice system? How much collateral damage would they cause?

[anim8or2000]

at the moment, Really loving Peaky Blinders, Hard Sun, Inside Number 9 stranger things, Only Connect, Taskmaster and QI

[spadesart]

ive been binging kitchen nightmares while i draw. its the easiest show to follow with a preoccupied attention ig. im also partway into always sunny but havent picked it back up after i started kitchen nightmares?

[CurlyComics]

I'm watchin "Dark" (from german netflix) and Penny dreadful
Both have so much inspiration material!

Only when they're shooting the sh*t up out of violent drug dealers...lol.

Need to check & see if Netflix still has Brave & Bold: that's the only Batman cartoon series I havent watch yet. Spent most of last year watching The Batman series with the Jeff Matsuda character designs- it was a fun cartoon.

Last anime I watched was Tokyo Ghoul- I onno, kinda mixed bag for me. I sometimes hate when anime shows end stuff on unclear notes; but I'm pretty sure they might be working on more Tokyo Ghoul stuff. Bout to rewatch Twin Star Exoricists again...

That reminds of the Chappelle comedy skit from one of his Netflix shows...LOL.

[joe_galindez]

It's like you've never heard of collateral damage. As it is, don't cops in America already kill too many innocents?

[loladrawing1324]

Manga and attack on titans

[Coati]

Star Trek Discovery <3

Some animes from this season like Violet Evergarden

[storytimebiondi]

I feel like I'd be remiss if I didn't also list my anime binge: Little Witch Academia. Dear god. I freaking love that show (and OVAs).

[akemikae]

I've been watching a lot of FRIENDS in the background while drawing, it's the perfect background show.

I also am in the process of rewatching a few animes like Fushigi Yugi and Get Backers.

Still watching Kiss Him Not Me, and I watch a lot of movies too.

I usually just watch youtube lately though, or rewatch movies/series I've seen a million times.

[matthewfin]

besides the cw superhero shows, I just finished strangers things. when a draw I like to watch an easy to follow comedy like modern family for a couple of laughs.
