The Mighty Boosh and League of Gentlemen are available on Amazon Prime. If you are a fan of bizarre British comedy then you will like it. No Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace though, unfortunately

I finally got around to watching the new Tick on Amazon Prime and it's fantastic. The first couple of episodes are a little weird but once it gets rolling it's a great ride. Disenchantment on Netflix is also really fun. I don't know if I like it as much as Futurama yet (the idea of a Groening style cartoon with tighter continuity is hard to get used to) but it's pretty funny and the last few episodes are nuts. The voice cast is great too.

I must say I can't find Disenchantment enjoyable. I went with no expectations, I gave it a shot, I tried liking it but it's just so weak. The long set ups to the most trite payoffs are too much. It's like an unfunny Simpsons season to me, I couldn't watch more than 3 episodes.

I'm not done yet but I've laughed maybe three times so far. ...gently caress.

I watched the whole season and it’s ok at best. Like Futurama does with sci-fi tropes, Disenchanted has some genuinely funny jokes around medieval life. The fantasy spoofs often fall short, though. “Boring Simpsons episode” is a good comparison. Puts out jokes at a steady enough pace for me to be content while I smoke weed or work on something, but ultimately forgettable. Also I understand that Elfo’s conceit is that he’s a pathetic little guy, but everything from his character design, writing, and voice acting is so unpleasant and almost never funny. He might as well be a minor character on Family Guy. Bean and Zog are great, though. Kevin DuBrow has a new favorite as of 02:03 on Aug 25, 2018 |

I have hope the back half of season 1 will be good. It picked up in the last few episodes but overall was kind of meh

I don't know, I watched through again and paid more attention this time and liked it even more. To each their own, I guess. I also finally started Santa Clarita Diet season 2, which is great so far. I love how in the age of direct to streaming shows, almost every episode ends with a cliffhanger that just makes you go "......huh."

SCD and the Tick are my two favorite comedies this year. SCD is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. Like, I will laugh out loud two or three times an episode, which I don’t usually do when I’m watching stuff by myself. The Tick is great, too. It has some of the people behind venture brothers doing some of the writing and it shows.

I'm usually very good at spotting the ending for shows/movies but that one really got me. Setting up the cop as a devout Christian (Catholic?) seemed a touch out of place but it never occurred to me that it would be more than "religious cop has unflinching morality" I cannot wait for season 3

Yes, the latest episode was especially fantastic. Overall though I'm only moderately enjoying the show. I wish more stuff would happen in it.

I hope they get their poo poo together for season 2 but I'm not holding my breath. Santa Clarita Diet is legit amazing though. I can't think of any other show that manages to get better every episode so consistently for so long.

I really enjoyed the second half of the Tick, they went and paid off all the setups from the first half one after another. It was crazy fast paced and hilarious.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I really enjoyed the second half of the Tick, they went and paid off all the setups from the first half one after another. It was crazy fast paced and hilarious.  except actually the exact opposite of thatThey foreshadow all of the payoffs super early (you can see much of it coming from before the halfway mark) and then draaaaaaaaaag everything out forever. After the first half cliffhanger the plot is like 75% wrapped up (the pacing is great and tight on that half), so you expect that there's more story yet to unfold in the remaining episodes but there really... just isn't. They introduce the last piece of the puzzle right away and then just spin their wheels for 3 or 4 episodes of embarrassingly bad special effects, so none of the payoffs have any punch left by the time they finally drop. Last I heard the S2 order is a couple episodes shorter, at least, so that ought to help a bit.

Season 2 of The Good Place is on netflix and it's fantastic. I was really worried it would retread too much of season 1 given the concept they were going for but it's really elevated it in a way I didn't expect.

Watch The Good Place. It's extraordinary. Hell, I even listen to the behind the scenes podcast.

The Good Place isn't a stand-out show to me, I don't know why. Then again I binged all of Season 2 at once, so maybe I'm in some kind of denial. It has that network, saccharine quality that turns me off, but I can't deny how clever it is. Ted Danson, D'arcy Carden, and most of the time Kristen Bell are all really, really funny.

Was episode 6 the funeral episode? Because that was the first time I actually played with my phone and ignored the show. Like ever. It was just trying too hard.

My only problem with that show was that I cared way less about the mental health brain shenanigans plot, I just wanted to see more stuff in the weird alternate modern reality they established with the Ad Buddies, rental friends, and surrogate husband-for-hire for widows or whatever.

The first few episodes of the show were great, I feel it went way downhill went it got to the ai going crazy plot. It almost feels like it abandoned a better plot for a weird twist.

I thought that I was going to hate this show, but the whole gore factor takes a back seat and the story itself is fun. I'm glad that it got renewed, because that was some cliffhanger for season two. I've been watching Cheers lately and really love it. It's a very smart comedy that makes you feel like a regular there. Although I really hate Kristy Alley's character, but yet love Woody Harrelson's character.

For real though I want to slap whoever writes most of netflix's show descriptions in the mouth, there's been so many movies I gave a try that were garbage because the description sounded interesting enough, while I ended up passing on some good stuff for longer than I would have, had the description not made say a serious thematic movie sound like it's gonna be a whacky parody. Also try some of the Thai films they've got on netflix, I've been on a spree with their horror movies and horror-comedy stuff and it's great, Phobia 2 (And the first movie, 4bia which sadly isn't on netflix) was really cool, Ladda Land had some really tense moments, Pee Mak was precious.

If you like Nicolas Cage, Next is on Hulu. Nic Cage has the ability to see two minutes into the future and also he and Jessica Biel fall in love -- oh yeah, it's from 2007 but is as timeless as Mr. Cage himself!

Hot Date is on Netflix! It's a sketch show with Brian Murphy and Emily Axford from College Humor. They play multiple characters as the episode goes from couple to couple. From what I've seen it's pretty funny but I only saw the free episode on YouTube. It was on a channel called PopTV which I never had access to so I'm excited to see the whole 10 episodes.

I'm sure there's something interesting going on in the themes etc. Try finishing it and wrap your head around the whole thing. Granted after first viewing I have no idea what the whole thing meant.
