Fleabag is hands down, 100%, unequivocally, the BEST show out there right now.

Where does it come on?

What is it about?

Is it a comedy? A drama?

the moving box.

well the first episode has the main character get fucked in the ass and her main takeaway is "do I have a large asshole?"

See above.

"hey siri, what's a fleabag"
Fleabag is a British comedy-drama television series set in London. It was originally produced by Two Brothers Pictures for digital channel BBC Three in a co-production agreement with Amazon Studios.[1][2] The show premiered on 21 July 2016 and concluded on 8 April 2019, after two series.[3][4] Show creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge writes and stars as the protagonist, Fleabag, an angry, confused and sexually voracious young woman living in London. The programme is particularly known for "breaking the fourth wall" when the main protagonist talks to the camera.[5]
Also S1 was 2016, S2 was just released. I see ads for it on Amazon.

This being on Amazon Prime just shot up my to-watch list. I believe it is also the first 4K program I'd be viewing.

Jeremy Wade's Dark Waters. It's basically River Monsters 2.0 so in other words it's great.

It's an Amazon Prime/BBC show. Both season are on Prime. Each season is comprised of 6 30 min eps. It's a comedy but it's a very dark comedy with a lot of drama mixed in. I watched each season in one sitting.

It's created/written by/starring Pheobe Waller-Bridge. Who is a goddamn genius. Olivia Coleman is also in the show as a supporting character. Brett Gelman is in it. The dude who plays Moriarty in the BBC Sherlock (w/ Cumberbatch and Freeman) is in S2.

Those are probably the only people you might know from other things.

I'm telling you, man. I keep reading critics and fans say things like "near-perfect work of art." And I normally short of cringe at that kind of hyperbole but with this show, it isn't hyperbole. There just isn't a better or more appropriate way to describe it. The thing is a near-perfect work of art.

So we finished Dead to Me. Really good show. I love Christina Applegate so goddamn much. I love Linda Cardellini so goddamn much. I hope they renew for a second season.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We enjoyed this. Formulaic network style show, but easy entertainment. Applegate and Cardellini are both great.
Spoiler: show
Guessing the punk teenage son heard/saw Steve get killed and is going to be a little shit about it in S2
Spoiler: show
Yeah. I was thinking that earlier. Funny that even after getting busted for selling pills, he steals grandma’s pills to sell.

The first episode of Nos4a2u was a lot better than the first episode of Swamp Thing.

Good Omens

I like it. It's got a very "Pushing Daisies" vibe to it so far and I am a big fan of the book.

my son and I read the book over the summer and were excited to start the show. So far it's aces from the acting/casting to the effects to the writing.

Fox & Friends.
I know Saturday morning talk shows are meant to be light & breezy but this is bizarro. There was a story on Trump not imposing the tariffs on Mexico and Biden's reversal on the Hyde amendment and there was the expected conservative spin. There was also favorable commentary on Trump's trip to London and Normandy. There were pieces on how commencement speakers are usually liberal and how millennials don't know how to do basic DIY chores around the house.
