Anyone see there is The Terror season 2 about a Japanese spirit. So far it is so boring and slow paced I don't think I can watch anymore of it.

Such an underrated series:
Anne With An E is on my watch list. I loooved the books and the show with Meghan Follows when I was a kid, so I'm really interested in seeing an updated version of an old favorite.
On the completely opposite end of the spectrum, I can't believe that there are only five episodes of Preacher left. :'( Where am I gonna get my blasphemous dark weird-ass gory humor once September ends?
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Dark Crystal was amazing! Almost like a prequel, sort of. Great scenery, nice back stories, tons of characters as well.
Carnivale Row wasn't bad and had some nice twists.

Mae, my bad! I was trying to quote your post but ended up Editing and messing up the content instead!
Whoopie! I think I've done that before but was able to fix it. I was just saying how I'm trying to make the final season of Orange Is the New Black last and how emotionally impacting episode 11 was, the last 5 minutes or so I couldn't stop just sobbing. For me OITNB is the best show of the decade and this Time article makes a good case: https://time.com/5631804/orange-is-t...ason-7-legacy/
Were you posting to shut me down? And that's why you just deleted my post instead?

NBCUniversal has unveiled a broad range of programming for the first slate of originals for its streaming service, which has officially been dubbed Peacock.
Perhaps the biggest titled announced for the service is a reboot of the classic sci-fi series “Battlestar Galactica,” with “Mr. Robot” creator Sam Esmail executive producing. This is the third version of the series to make it to television. The original aired for one season in 1978 on ABC, which was followed by a short-lived continuation called “Galactica 1980.” Sci Fi Channel (now Syfy) then rebooted the series back in 2003 with a three-hour miniseries whose cast included Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell among others. The success of that project led Syfy and Sky Television to commission a new series with the cast of the miniseries returning. That show ran for four seasons and also spawned two TV movies, wrapping up in 2009. A prequel series, “Caprica,” aired on Syfy for one season in 2010.
Peacock will also be home to a revival of “Saved by the Bell,” with original series cast members Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley reprising their roles in addition to serving as producers. Likewise, the previously announced “Punky Brewster” sequel series starring Soleil Moon Frye has been ordered to pilot at the streamer.
In addition, the series adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” which was ordered straight-to-series at the NBCUniversal cable channel USA Network, will now move to Peacock instead, marking the latest example of a media company moving a project from its linear cable portfolio to a streamer. “Dr. Death” — based on the podcast of the same name and starring Jamie Dornan, Alec Baldwin, and Christian Slater — has also been set up at Peacock with a series order, as has the limited series “Angelyne” starring Emmy Rossum.
The upcoming second “Psych” movie, which is titled “Psych 2: Lassie Come Home,” will debut on Peacock rather than on USA Network. An individual with knowledge of the situation said the film could play on USA Network following its debut on Peacock but no decisions have been made.
Other originals include the comedy “Rutherford Falls” co-created by Mike Schur and starring Ed Helms, the pilot “Straight Talk” starring Jada Pinkett Smith, and the late-night series “The Amber Ruffin Show.” It had previously been announced that “AP Bio,” which was recently canceled by NBC after two seasons, will return for a third on Peacock.
It was previously announced that Peacock would be the exclusive streaming home of the NBC series “The Office” beginning in 2021 when the show’s current deal with Netflix expires. Peacock has announced that it will also stream shows including: “30 Rock,” “Bates Motel,” “Battlestar Gallactica,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Cheers,” “Chrisley Knows Best,” “Covert Affairs,” “Downton Abbey,” “Everyone Loves Raymond,” “Frasier,” “Friday Night Lights,” “House,” “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” “King Of Queens,” “Married…With Children,”“Monk,” “Parenthood,” “Psych,” “Royal Pains,” “Saturday Night Live,” “Superstore,” “The Real Housewives,” “Top Chef,” and “Will & Grace.”
The platform will feature more than 3,000 hours of Telemundo’s content, including an original dramedy “Armas de Mujer.” Finally, classic films from the Universal Pictures and Focus Features libraries will be available, including those from the “Fast & Furious,” “Bourne,” and “Back to the Future” franchises. Universal Pictures is also developing original films and animated series to debut on Peacock, while DreamWorks Animation will create original animated content.
Peacock will launch in April of 2020. It will be both advertising and subscription supported. Details on pricing and distribution will be announced closer to launch.
Can we stop with the re-boots already?
Also, started Marianne on Netflix the other night. One episode in, but I'm interested to see where it goes. Short season, so not a huge commitment if it's not great.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
re-boots rebooted!!
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

Just started Unbelievable on Netflix. It's well, unbelievable. So harrowing and heartbreaking, and I'm only on Episode One. It's getting rave reviews and I can see why. Tough but important subject matter, told with compassion.
Oh wow, just finished Unbelievable. Could not stop and had to finish all eight episodes in one sitting. Typing this still with tears in my eyes. One of the best and emotional miniseries ever, the acting was amazing up and down the cast. The fact that this is a real story made it a bit too hard to watch at times but the resolution makes up for that in one of the most perfect endings imaginable. This better win all the Emmys.

That is indeed a very powerful scene in a series full of them. I've always loved Merritt Wever and Toni Collette and here they were just turning it up to 11. Kaitlyn Dever was awesome in Booksmart and I know she has no chance at an Oscar nomination for that, but she needs an Emmy nomination for this. Her performance as Marie here was stunning. I can't wait to see what she does next. This miniseries cannot be recommended highly enough. Definitely the best TV of the year for me, and that includes Stranger Things S3 and the series finale of OITNB. That said, it's not an easy watch of course, especially the first episode where it focuses on Marie's assault and then her being re-traumatized repeatedly by the police.
