What TV shows are people watching?

I feel like it takes itself to a 9/10 in comedy to accomplish the 10/10 in borrowed scifi.

Rick and Morty and Black Mirror are the only tv show sci-fi’s that I ever really respected.

If you can't love the Battlestar Galactica reboot then you're a lame person and should become an accountant.

I wish I could get a job as an accountant

That show with the bald guy, the pale robot guy, and the bad lighting is pretty fire.

I was going to say Rick and Morty instead of Boondocks but I want to see if it continues being as strong over time first. Certainly worthy of the title of they stopped making them now.

Give em a break on the bad lighting. Before the modern age of television basically every TV show looked like ****. And Deep Space 9 was the best Trek show. But if you don't already have a working knowledge of Trek then it might be hard to get invested in a show that went that hard into Trekkian interstellar politics.

And Quark was the best Trek character.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Final analysis:

I didn’t understand it at all.

I just read the wiki plot explanation for the final episode and was like... really? I didn’t have a clue what was going on. That was one seriously confusing show.

Now I can watch the 7 seasons of The West Wing on Netflix. When it seemed like nothing resembling the prestige of the office would return in reality watching the series seemed a depressing prospect.

Queen's Gambit is a great mini series, but as someone who loves Chess it kinda sucks knowing that it's probably the peak in big budget entertainment that's going to revolve around Chess ever, because it's such a dry topic. I'm a halfway decent player, and I absolutely loved the brilliance of the games that were arranged, but I don't think you would necessarily have to be any good at it or even be interested in the game at all to enjoy the series. Anya Taylor-Joy was amazing as Beth Harmon. Seriously recommend to anybody, really.
