TV Shows: What are you watching?

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Though both have been done for a few years, I loved the Americans and Orphan Black. Highly recommend them both. The acting in both shows is outstanding.

The Expanse took awhile to get into but is ultimately worth the time. I find the acting subpar by a few of the main characters (particularly Holden and Naomi) but some of the characters are phenomenal (Amos, The deep voiced lady). The politics are interesting and realistic enough. Technology changes; human behavior not so much.

Have to agree on Holden and Naomi being average but for me it is all the smaller part characters that make it.

Miller when he was alive, Alex, Drummer, Anderson Dawes and Ashford, the dirty politician who fucked everyone over...great characters

Totally different than the last Marvel series (WandaVision) - both are fun.

The Serpent on Netflix is very good.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Skype, The Serpent is based on a true story.

I don't know Rats, it's either the low talkers or I need a hearing aid. Actually, I probably just need a man cave where I can crank the volume.
