Whatcha Watchin'? The TV Thread

After watching a couple of episodes of ‘Dexter: Ressurection’ and loving it, my son bought the original ‘Dexter’ boxset from 2006, and we are working our way through that. I’m really enjoying it, it has a good bit of dark humour in it. The storylines are very good, with some interesting twists.
Also Season 3 of Star Trek: New Worlds, and Twisted Metal on Prime

Loving Dexter: Resurrection. Just watched episode 9, so next week is the finale. It’s over too soon!

Man, co-starring Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage, plus tons of cameos by past characters, this refreshed season has been great.

Enjoy watching the box set. We watched the entire first season and the prequel season right before Resurrection premiered.

We are on Season 4 of Dexter, watching a disc ( 3 episodes) at a time. Next is Youngblood, before we get back to Resurrection.

That is the worst thing when you get into a great series

Sigh. Not in France. But Paramount+ does have a bunch of Thomas and Friends animated movies with French soundtracks. Thanks, but no thanks. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I love Dexter, such a cool series! I only watched the original series, I haven’t seen Resurrection (I think it isn’t available here at the moment). Dexter is an interesting kind of anti-hero, and it’s easy to sympathise with the character, since he goes after criminals that escape the law unpunished. And the dark humour is excellent!

The scenery brings back a lot of memories! You got there about the time I left. I took an ex-girlfriend to Kaui in 2009 for 10 days. we rented a Jeep and put a bunch of miles on it just exploring. It is amazing how much Islang fever sets in and you long for wide open spaces!

It is, I was in my early 30s when I was there, partying was more of a priority than learning the culture, but I did manage to learn a bit!

This is only available on HBO Max (and Hulu) as of this writing, but this film is incredibly great. I say this with no exaggeration intended or implied. It is that good.

This film is a 2025 Emmy Award nominee for best documentary and it is universally critically- and audience-acclaimed for its excellence as an honest and unflinching depiction of a flawed-as-we-all-are human being — and a modern-day visionary genius artist.

No joke.

Again, no hyperbole.

If you are able, just watch it. It is revelatory, moving and thoroughly worthwhile. Peace.

I just got through this week’s Alien: Earth tonight. I really kind of don’t care for this trend where shows have to take the mid point episode and use it as a prequel leading up to the beginning of the season. Just make that the pilot.

I agree but at the same time I am sad they had to scrap the one they were going to do for Andor Season 2.

It was going to be a different origin story for K2S0 where he was activated and got loose on a starship, going berserk and killing everyone guerilla-style. They were modeling the episode on Alien, with K2 as the monster, before he was subdued and then converted to the rebellion.

It sounded totally awesome but they ran out of money and had to scrap it.

Had they done it, it would have been a prequel flashback midseason and they could’ve had K2 for the full season instead of half of it.

100% agreed!
I found it one of the most personal and moving documentary about an “art figure”…

I don’t know about the States, but here in France on MAX via Canal+, it’s a 2 episode series, about 1 1/2 each. Added to my playlist.

It’s exactly the same here.

I’m glad you’ll watch it.

Only Murders in the Building, season 5!
