New TV Series to watch

[Kbiz]

The first episode of Chernobyl was really good -- difficult to watch at times because it was both so horrific, and so true.

On a side note, I'd just recently done a replay of Stalker: Call of Pripyat, which was made by Ukrainians and set in the real area. And they had the actual buildings, etc., down to a T. Creepy as hell.

My first introduction to Chernobyl was the Call of Duty level where you had to go in and kill some random baddies for some reason. After that, I dove deep into articles / publications and became bit of a human-made disaster junkie.

Apparently the creator for the HBO series did a ton of research so you're going to get a pretty accurate portrayal of what occurred, both visually and factually, which makes it that much scarier.

Not sure if anyone else is watching FX's What We Do In the Shadows, but this show is hilarious. It's a perfect TV adaptation of the movie, which was also great.

Finished Turn: Washington's Spies.

Very good. Worth the watch.

Revolutionary shows make me wistful for a new world to conquer. @The Human Q-Tip

No joke, man. It was so eerie and dark. I felt so repulsed when they had the emergency meeting and universally agreed to misinform the public and followed with the hand-chant in cult-like fashion.

Also, where would I find in your latter mentioning?

Are you asking about the game?

Are you asking about the game?

Yeah, I mistakened replay for “rewatch” since it sounded like a potentially interesting show.

Moving on

@The Human Q-Tip, have you watched Turn?

Interested in your thoughts on Ian Kahn's turn on Washington.

Actually, I haven't. It's one of those weird things - I wanted to watch it, but I'd seen the lead actor -or at least the guy I thought was the lead from commercials - in some other period piece. And he was so bad that I could get past seeing his hatchet face on Turn.

What do you guys think of Barry? I keep hearing it's a great show....sort of like the early seasons of Dexter

Barry is definately real good. It's not like Dexter though. Barry is truly a comedy. It fits into the HBO comedies real well.

I wouldn’t say it’s a straight up comedy. Has a lot of dark/serious moments in it as well.

I think alot of comedies have dark or serious moments. I was just pointing out that it's a comedy because the comparison to Dexter he had heard. Dexter is dark and is a drama with very little comedy in it.

If he went in expecting Dexter, he might be disappointed.

It's a comedy with some dramatic elements, whereas Dexter was a drama with occasional comedic elements.

Wrapping up season five of Amazon Prime's Bosch. If you aren't watching this show, you should. It's the best cop/detective show on TV right now. Very tightly written and each season has a couple of different plot lines that all feel important and interesting.
