I haven't watched a drama or sci-fi for what feels like months.. actually it has been months. It just feels like everything is so rubbish these days.
At one point I would watch shows like TWD, Star Trek etc religiously but now I just can't be bothered. TWD feels like it has outstayed its welcome, and Trek.. ugh.
Only thing I've watched is the occasional thing on TV, or Youtube.
Any recommendations?

2Been watching Santa Clarita Diet recently. It's managed to keep my attention a lot better than Ash vs Evil Dead even though they are somewhat similar genres (horror/comedy)
Re: Anything good to watch lately?
3Truth Seekers on PRIME. The Man Who Knew Infinity - Seen this a few times, probably read the book at some stage.
Still watching S4 in BSG and Farscape, and last season of Lost
- Feels like I'll never finish that last show. And I still got the last season of 'The 100' too, ah maybe there 2 seasons more. Haven't watched too much over the last 6 months, played some switch games too.
If I remem anymore I'll add to the list. My memory is Jello atm

4I've heard The 100 gets better? When I tried to watch it, it just felt like 'yet another' young adult sci-fi aka The Flash, Arrow etc which were all pretty good when they started but just became so ridiculous with each passing season.
Re: Anything good to watch lately?
5I watched 5 seasons of that and then waited and waited and it's out now - a while back - but f$ck it. It kind of does carry on pointlessly. It got good and then you say WTF! Meh people. Reminds me of the Iron Fist, and that was like Danny just kill'em already! So many shows have failed with long story arcs cause there just sh1t! I liked 12 monkeys but some bits were just too repetitive. I still have not watched the last few episodes but I will!
My list to finish or maybe not ^1
My list to finish or maybe not ^1
- RECAP: Farscape, Battlestar Galactica, Lost
- 12 Monkeys, last few episodes
- Boys somewhere end of s1
- Man
in the High Castleon another Planet *rec watching in 3x speed to come back to normal time - Dark, last season. Might have to re-watch in future just to understand the time jumps in that show
- Ultra violet, s2, Polish detective show
- ^1 Altered Carbon s2 *might not be worth it since that was the last season
- ^1 The 100
Re: Anything good to watch lately?
6I've actually taken a 'sabbatical' from watching TV/dramas these days. I almost exclusively play EVE in my free time now. How the wheel turns!
But that's fine, there isn't much 'great' TV about these days and what does come out is usually a 10 episode season, so I've got plenty of stuff on the back burner for when I get bored with internet spaceships.
The Boys S1 was pretty awesome btw, I love Anthony Starr in that role. His role in Banshee was also kickass.

7It's strange - no matter how many old/new shows I've yet to watch I come back to re-watching some classics. Just went through some random SG-1 episodes and now onto Atlantis. I'm also mid-way through 4k LOTR - always remembered 2 Towers better, ain't look that way now!
And.. whilst watching the 3-parter Atlantis episodes 'The Siege' it got me thinking when the Asgard Hermiod was aboard. Why didn't the Asgard send some of their scientists and ships (for defense) to Atlantis, surely theres stuff onboard that would help them greatly in their quests and it would speed up all the discoveries made by humans too!?

8Picard season 2... is actually quite enjoyable, so far. Big improvement over S1. But I've been bitten before by false hopes, Discovery had a good start for Season 3 but ended up pretty awful...
Re: Anything good to watch lately?
9As good or bad as Picard is.. it's re-watch value is naught=0! Would love some standalone episodes. They should of done a season for Picard (1st) like they did and leave it at that, then a Riker arc, Crazy Dr Soong arc, La Forge, Worf, Crusher (Bev), Troi, etc and add characters from DS9 and VOY. Span 3-5 seasons. Call it Star Trek Crossovers or something and have different theme arcs or stories. Could even have some overlapping intertwining long story arc too. Would be EPIC too! 
Re: Anything good to watch lately?
10Scored the Sharpe boxset in a charity shop for £4, though I have them a tenner for it. Fantastic series.
Re: Anything good to watch lately?
11So Picard S3 was pretty awesome (except for a great many plot problems) and they actually did stick an OK landing for the end - not great, but not terrible. S2 was garbage by the end, so I'm reversing on my previous opinion.
Sharpe? Haven't seen that in a while... Did they ever remaster it/upscale it?

12Beacon 23. First season was good, 2nd not so. Re-watched some most of SG Atlantis and all of SGU. Really my fav. SGU should of had more seasons. SG-1 has aged and just has too many politically correct influenced episodes. HALO was fun. First season good, 2nd season not so and darker.
Try not to get into any dark shows at the moment since life is pretty dark last 2-3 years, the last 6xmonths not great - too much s###.
Gaming wise I've been reduced to switch games
- sea of stars, some racing, totk - miss the good ole flight stick sims and a sizable tv
Anyone ever says Australia is good I'll smack'em 1 - This forum is so nostalgic, the days have changed... prob for the worse too

13Did you fall asleep and one day wake up to realize the totalitarian hellscape we're heading towards (and have been for the past few years..) while everyone puts their fingers in their ears singing praise the West? 
Fear not! The blissful blue pill is here to save you. I am sure things will work out for the best eventually... we can't do much about anything so it's best to enjoy a relaxing life. 
I finished the Atlantis books myself, was not particularly impressed. The boredom made me almost give up on reading entirely. I think that format has been over-done TBH. But yeah, the classic SG-1/Atlantis episodes are some good watching! I also just finished another DS9 run, which I enjoyed, but I found myself more interested in the earlier seasons this time around.
Right now I'm doing a bunch of movie re-watches because I only ever saw them once at the cinema (like the Maze Runner & Divergent series). Reminds me of being young!

bit hard to enjoy a relaxing life lolLets see why..
Probably belongs in the RANT forum..
Re: Anything good to watch lately?
15Dunno why but the spoiler thing isn't working for me. But I was able to see your post from the edit page. Sounds like a lot of troubles, hope things work out. I'm also on bumpy ground lately, but have been through a lot of stuff in recent years too, so I'm kinda ambivalent. I do have to pay closer attention to my problems though, it's... not healthy to ignore them.
