Favorite TV Shows?

@bobvann

I also love Ray Donovan!!! Haven't yet caught up on the newest season. What are your other favorite tv shows?

 

Oof I have many (I have a killer entertainment system), I watch too much TV for my own good.

All 3 Chicago's
Man in the high castle
Mayans MC (and SOA of course)
The Affair
Bull
NCIS
Mr In Between
Les Norton
Dynasty (for my dose of cheeze)
When they see us
L&O SVU
Godfather of Harlem
Goliath
911
All American
Blue Bloods
SWAT
Ray Donovan
And many more...

 

Did anyone else start watching Picard on Amazon Prime but have to give up due to the horrendously intrusive sound effects and swelling background music at the end of every scene?

 

Oz
Fresh Prince of Bel Air

 

I can tolerate my 7.1 system.

 

The quality of the sound system can make a difference. I have a 5.1 system but I gave up on it when I was getting too many sync issues, so I only connected it as 2.1. I've resolved the sync issues recently so I may connect up the other speakers again. It's definitely easier with a good system to balance the sound so you can hear the voices clearly without everything having to be equally loud. I often find watching on my tablet to be more difficult than watching through the home cinema system.

However for me with my loudness hyperacusis I'm constantly reaching for the volume on most things I watch. It can drive the rest of the family crazy so I end up watching things on my own.

 

It was like that in the early days. I used to wear earplugs and watch TV through small bluetooth speaker.

 

Anybody see the episode of The Blacklist with the tinnitus killer?

 

Episode was Newton Purcell (No. 144)

 

I can't speak for everyone here as taste is so subjective but I'm up to espidoe 3 of Tales from the Loop and I'm getting a lot out of it. (it's on Amazon Prime so not relevant unless you have that)

Tales from the Loop is hard to describe because it contains this odd mix of bleakness and 80s nostalgia. The world is simultaneously depressing AND inviting at the same time which is kind of how my dreams have been lately. It's kind of like Children of Men without the warfare or Clockwork Orange without the ultra-violence.

A lot of people are bashing it for being too slow. It's best watched once a day rather than in a binge. It's not for the ADD crowd, that's for sure.

 

I watched the first few episodes of The Blacklist when it first came on, but then life got crazy and I lost track.

Read the summary of this, though. A guy driven insane and murderous by his tinnitus? Interesting. Not sure if I'm a fan of that kind of representation, though. But at least it's better than Baby Driver: Actually showing that tinnitus is an awful condition as opposed to a little personality quirk used to justify the film's soundtrack. (That being said, I still like Baby Driver.)

My favourite show right now is What We Do In The Shadows on FX. It's about four vampire roommates in Staten Island. They all wear capes and speak in funny accents, it's hilarious . Set in the same universe of the 2014 film of the same name, but is overall a self contained story.

 

It's some guy who kills people by chaining them in a bathtub with speakers on the sides. He cranks them until their ears bleed etc. When they bust him he talks about how the noise from data farms has left a permanent hum that drives him nuts, something to that effect...

I watch too much TV, too many series / shows to list.

In isolation render graphics, watch too much TV, too much red wine & food...

OT my neighbor who is in the natural medicine business has some concerns in regards to EMF's & other issues that may be caused by 5G networks.

 

Currently re-watching Marvel's Daredevil.

The hyperacusis superhero!

 

Seinfeld all time favorite. Won't lie, I am loving watching Key and Peele on Hulu right now though.

 

The Blacklist really went downhill. I couldn't finish the last season. Check out Dark if you like weird sci fi with time travel. The best time travel movie is the Butterfly Effect and ones like it. It's because their version involves acts in the past changing your present. Imagine that you could tell your past self to avoid noisy places and protect your hearing and then suddenly your tinnitus and hyperacusis is gone.

 

One of my favourite shows for sure. Charlie Cox is an amazing Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio is the best Kingping imo. Still gutted it got cancelled.

 

The 100 is going through a pretty mind-bending final season. Not so much time travel, but time dilation on at least 3 different parallel timelines, with characters hopping between each one. Pretty cool.

 

That's typical of many good shows including Homeland, Billions & others that tend to jump the shark after a few seasons.

I am re watching Burn Notice. I really like this new show Hightown. Really enjoyedTthe Looming Tower. A few British series... Bloom, and The Commons.

 

Gosh, OTTOMH here are a few

Boston Legal ~ very funny and made me appreciate American humour
Dexter
The first Superman series I saw (1957)
The Crown
Monty Python and associated programs

Sometime, when my tinnitus and hyperacusis become overwhelming, I watch Judge Judy without the sound and fully concentrate on the subtitles with all my mental effort.
I am usually laughing in a short time.

 

I'm three episodes into Penny Dreadful, and I'm loving it so far. (Cool with all the sex, though. Jesus.)

Also a fan of Watchmen, Mindhunter, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, The Last Airbender, Breaking Bad...

And there's even more shows on my list. I have enough "To be watched" stuff to last me my whole life.

 

The new Perry Mason dark! Makes me think of the Ozzy song.

OZZY OSBOURNE - "Perry Mason"...

 

Is anybody here a BoJack Horseman enjoyer? It's my favourite comfort show of all time, hands down. I think I've seen the series at least 5 times by now. I've listened to the theme song so many times that my musical tinnitus started playing it at me randomly lol.

 

Sanford and Son.

 

The Andy Griffith Show.

OK Barney, ya only get one bullet.

 

As a young teenager a liked perving out to the" price is right " Bikini girls. This was pre porn, when imagination and more gentile stimulous could make a budding fiend bust a nut.

 

I really loved Boardwalk Empire. Much more developed characters than the Sopranos.
