I'm re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she's never seen it. It's been long enough since I watched it last that I don't remember a lot of things that happened, so there's a lot of "I forgot got that!" moments for me, which is fun.

A bit exhausted after my Buffy rewatch

I'm rewatching House, one random episode at a time. It's a more fun experience than watching it in sequence, and the show has held up amazingly well compared to my other favorite shows.

Loved The Magicians! I didn't even make it through the first book and I can't remember what on Earth convinced me to watch the show, but I'm so glad I got on board!

The audiobooks are among my all time favorites. I’ve listen to them 4 or 5 times all the way through. Mark Bramhall is the narrator, and he he’s incredible. Many times I think, “jeez.. how is he doing that? I know if I were reading that paragraph it would not have been that powerful or interesting”.

I think having been a young boy, and now being a grown adult, helps relate to a lot of the emotional parts of the story. The naive love of youth, and the conflicting feelings of welcome-banality and a desire for life to be more as an adult.

The books get criticism for being “Potter/Narnia for adults”, but I think people who say this maybe haven’t actually read the whole series. That is extremely surface level, and is plainly discussed in the story. The whole point is that this kid grew up obsessed with books like this, and is now just outgrowing the phase of youth where it’s not weird. All of the magic stuff becomes pretty meta after the first half of the first book.

Final Space, kinda like a better Rick and Morty. Not an amazing series and it definitely did not age well, but it has it's moments.

Twin Peaks Season 3, although I've gotten distracted by the new show Ripley, which is excellent so far.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Leverage. First the original, then onto Redemption.

I loved Max Headroom (the American drama series) as a kid, and am now rewatching it and while there's the odd bit of 1980s cringe, it still holds way up in a "how the hell did something this hip ever get greenlit on a major network?" sort of way.

My wife is not into cyberpunk dystopia stuff, but she's watching for the first time with me and doesn't hate it.

Doctor Who from Eccleston on. We missed much of it (including all of the Capaldi and Whitaker years) so it’s still new to us, and we’re catching up just in time for the new guy. I used to roll my eyes at folks who insisted Who was worth watching, but I was clearly wrong: It’s such a fun (and sometimes devastating) show. Loving it.

House.

As well as some anime I enjoyed in my youth.

And JJK because.... I love it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Im watching the English dub of one piece. As far as dubs go, it's pretty good.

Mixing between MythBusters and Hogan's Heroes at the moment.

Northern Exposure

I rewatch shows regularly. Right now I’m watching The Lost Room, Glitch (Australian), The Sandman and Penny Dreadful again. And a Korean food series on Netflix called “A Nation Of Broth”, because I love Korean food.

Star Trek (TOS), and Monty Python's Flying Circus.

And I go back to The Prisoner every few years.

The 4400.

I originally watched it some 15 years ago, and I needed something to watch during long plane trips recently, so I downloaded the entire series and stuck it onto this USB drive that works well with my phone.

Once done I will start rewatching New York Undercover

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Star Trek TNG anf DS9, for the nth ~~degree~~ time.

I'll never stop watching that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've just re watched Avatar:TLAB and Legend of Korra for the 3rd time at least

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Have also watched TLAB at least three times. So good. Korra two times I think. About to be a third soon I hope.

Zhu Li, do the thing!

Whenever I am cooking dinner or doing chores during the week after work I have a sitcom on in the background. New Girl, Friends, The Office, TBBT, etc. I've seen them dozens of times, but there is something about having them on the TV in the evening that reminds me of childhood. Simpler times maybe, I dunno. But I find it extremely relaxing.

Then every other year or so I'll go through Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, because they are probably my favorite shows.

Buffy, torchwood, firefly

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Money Heist (but in Spanish, the english dub is awful)

Third time. Such a great show

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Wolf Hall, because the books were brilliant and this, although not as good as the book is also very good and has Mark Rylance in it, who is always fantastic.

Just started rewatching Sakura Quest.

An Anime about a city girl who can't find a job, gets a call about a gig way out in the sticks, but only realizes after signing the contract that it's a one-year commitment.

The show is about her initially wanting to run back home to Tokyo then slowly falling in love with the tiny country town that might die out if she doesn't figure out how to restart their tourism industry.

Excellent characters, great music, low stakes, funny, might make you cry at the end. Highly recommended even if you're not an Anime fan.
