What series are you watching at the moment?

Does radio count?
I've been tuning in to Classical Unwind at nine o'clock in the evenings on WLTR South Carolina Public Radio. They had a Rachmaninoff piece on, a waltz played with three pianos. Fascinating stuff. I don't know why you'd call it "unwind" because it is best to pay attention to the music as it's really well done.
I like the daytime classical programs too and I wish Music through the Night didn't come on at midnight as it's good enough to be played in the daytime, IMHO.

I did really enjoy The Return, though, once I got into it.

I only watched Twin Peaks once, when it originally aired, and never saw the follow-up/season 3 (I assume that's what you mean by "the return".)

I didn't remember much about it, but now I'm re-watching it, I really find it interesting how it focuses a lot on the every-day details of the character's lives. It's really quite slow and quiet and relaxing. Especially with that floaty theme tune.

I love Sandra Oh! ^

I just finished Fleabag.

Ten million stars.

My wife and I are currently watching Manifest - in the last season and will likely finish it by the end of next week.

I understand that TV shows always start out casual/fun/intriguing (or whatever their hook is), and then get more and more intense as they go on. Manifest is definitely doing that.

I don't enjoy the "more intense" part as much as I enjoy the start of a show. It always starts to feel stressful to me, so I look forward to the show being over and everything being resolved.

Where do you watch Megas XLR? I saw it when it first came out and loved it. I tried ordering DVDs of it and just got low VHS-quality bootleg DVDs.

I'd love to hear how this series was resolved. Turned out to be a waster of time for the years I watched it and yet NBC dropped it. So that was that....

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the original tv series "The Fugitive". That to my knowledge it was the first tv show to conscientiously produce the last episodes (1967) that resolved the entire series. I've always hated investing my time in tv series that simply go off a cliff based usually on declining ratings.

Though equally to this day I was shocked at how poorly "Lost" attempted to rationalize what it was all about.

I'll let you know my opinion of Manifest's "wrap up".

I hate it when a show feels like the writers are just making stuff up as they go, and I hate shows that end without tying everything up. When that happens, I will usually wind up lying in bed that night making up a more satisfying ending.

Lost was the worst of the worst. It taught me that TV shows don't have to satisfy the audience to make money - they just have to sucker them into watching. When Once Upon a Time came out, I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes. Then they started advertising it as "Made by the people who made Lost" ... and I stopped watching it just because of how ticked off I still was about Lost.

IF you're curious, i'm making a character kinda like coop.

That's one of the main reasons why I usually don't like to start a show until it's over. I like to look up opinions of the ending online and if the show has a crappy ending, I won't watch it. Yes, sometimes it ruins the surprise of the ending for me, but I'd rather have that over a completely unsatisfying ending.

Absolutely! "Lost" was the first series that I ever felt positively cheated in faithfully watching. Though the experience also allowed me to re-examine how a tv production can evolve. Much like watching legislators intent on creating a horse that turns into a camel.

We just finished it. I really liked the ending - everything was wrapped up and resolved nicely.

There was a lot of the mysticism’s “how” that was not explained, but the “why” was shown. There were things in the final resolution that were set up early on, indicating that there was at least a rough plan from the start for how it would end.

There were some content changes in the last season. Netflix decided that a show can’t be a good show unless there’s sex and profanity, so they threw some in. It was TV-14, but the change was noticeable.
