What are you currently watching on TV?

Sharp Objects on HBO. It has a True Detective Season One feel. Not a ton of progress made in the first two episodes, but I'm on board to see what happens.

 

[Oh8ch]

Firing Line on WOSU

The sort of in depth, rational discussion of issues that I naively believed might come into play with the 24 hour news channels.

I am in love with Margaret Hoover.

Give it a try.

 

[Jagdaddy]

The Tunnel: Vengeance.

The Tunnel: Vengeance.

I was actually just watching "Chunnel":

 

[Buckeye513]

Last Chance U season 3.

Favorite moment so far is the QB coach saying that he works for free and sleeps on two single beds pushed together 20 minutes after they show the HC shopping for his 4th Cadillac and bitching about the insurance payments.

Legion Season 2 is pure insanity. Good, but absolutely psychotic.

 

[ScriptOhio]

I DVRed the pilot episode that aired last night; didn't remember that Johnny Fever was fired from a LA radio station for saying "booger" on the air.......



Tonight is season 1 episode 2.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

The League of Gentlemen. Season 1 ep 5 on Amazon. Delightfully stupid British humor so far.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Drinking some strong rum, listening to some bad ass Alt Country Americana station and playing cards with the lady. No TV.

I liked Community, so because of Dan Harmon I gave Rick and Morty a shot. I watched the first two episodes and thought they sucked. Feels like a cheap Family Guy ripoff.

Other than being cartoons about families I see no similarities.

Rick = Stewie, Morty = Chris, traveling through different dimensions and dogs taking over = Road to the Multiverse, randomly killing background/side characters with no concer/reprecusions (the bully in the first episode). It all felt, to me, very much like ground that has already been covered...and done better.

Rick and Morty is dark humor and nihilism. Family Guy is a satire with cutaway gags and the occasional edgy joke because the writers want FTC complaints.

I didn't like season 3 that much but I'd still take it over anything Family Guy's put out. Then again I've never liked Seth MacFarlane's style.

Plus Rick and Morty is funny.

I understand the difference in tone, I just thought the setup felt McFarlane-esque. Granted, I haven't watched anything McFarlane has done in nearly a decade. Maybe that threw my expectations off.

Plus Rick and Morty is funny.

Agree to disagree. Unless it drastically changes after episode 2. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
