I really want to like Tin Star. Having just seen Tim Roth in Twin Peaks, I was keen to see him in another North American foresty kind of setting but it's very British (or at least European). British stuff doesn't always seem to do earnestly dark and gritty too well without feeling like a parody of something. Also, lotta time skips.

Little Evil was okay.
We've reached the boring part of The Walking Dead season 7. I hope it has a satisfying back half.
Really, really enjoying American Vandal. Must see, if you got deep into Making a Murderer!

Is it on a streaming site?

We got all of S2 straight to Netflix down here.
And Mr Nov, glad to hear it. I loved the constant building and plot twists.

this season?
Yeah he really has. They've all really settled into their characters really well
Spoiler for s2e5:
I refuse to believe Miller is actually dead; he was by far my favourite character. The proto molecule must have saved him somehow
Three episodes left to go, gotten really into it. Apparently the book series is going to be 9 books, so interested to see where they end up taking it and if it will stay as intriguing as it currently is.

After how much I've been loving the series, I'm going to have to check out the books

Is anyone here one of those people who love DS9, even blasphemously favouring it to TNG?
When does it get good? It started pretty ok but ten eps in and I can hardly remember a single storyline. Does Quark get written out?

I always viewed DS9 as a show that you only really appreciate when you're in a sparsely populated part of Eastern Europe and DS9 is the only show on that's in English and whose channel isn't all fuzzy because of Russian radio interference.

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle is destroying me. They only have the third series, though, for some reason.

Really into the expanse, so glad season 2 is out finally. Trying to pace myself and not watch it all in a week.

DS9 is awesome regardless of Russian interference. Though I don’t think it’s been released in Eastern Europe yet. I mean, it’s no Farscape, but what is?
PS if anyone wants to laugh at Swedish people, Norsemen is good for a chuckle.

This was from my actual experience spending time in Romania in the summer in the middle of nowhere (granted, this is on cable, I mean).

I don't know why it took this long to watch Community.
All the references for each episode are awesome.
Also, Pierce is Community's Michael Scott: he's the worst character in the entire show.

Is it intentionally funny? Having heard nothing about it, based on the cover image I assumed it was a low budget "Vikings" ripoff/cash in.

It's Norwegian, not Swedish, hence the poke.
It is intentionally funny, but not sure how well it translates - the international version is basically all of the actors redoing their scenes, changing the Norwegian dialogue to English with a scandi accent. I thought the Norwegian version was pretty fun, though.

I'll have to check it out. I'll be PMing you excessively to get explanation on all the cultural references.
