    I watched the first episode or two, but it felt (despite the "alternate world" premise) like it boiled down to just another show with two groups of people trying to kill each other (plot and details be damned).

    The thing is, I may be wrong, and I probably should've had more patience with it; long-form cable dramas usually pan out, and Simmons is always good.

    I was always a huge fan of the Justice League cartoon and many of their movies. The Young Justice cartoon is actually not that bad.

    Russian Doll on Netflix is great -- only 8 thirty minute episodes, so it's a breezy binge, but really well done. Groundhog Day crossed with The Good Place crossed with something darkly hilarious. Natasha Lyonne owns it.

    Thanks for the info, Bev. I keep seeing it on Netflix, and I keep reminding myself to read up about what it's about, but I always get sidetracked before I can do so.

    Just finished the new season of One Day at a Time, which is still one of my favorite shows. It has to be the most positive and life-affirming shows on the air now. It's sincere and makes you mist up in tears of joy from time to time, but it's also funny, and that last scene of the season made me clap my hands. So well done! I hope it's back for more seasons. Next up, Russian Doll.

    Take his with a grain of salt, as I am somehow one of the few people in the world that really REALLY enjoyed season one of Titans … but I thought the first episode of Doom Patrol was fantastic. Heartfelt, funny, intriguing … I want more, now!

    I was such a fan of the original One Day at a Time, perhaps I will give this one a shot. Are they much alike?

    It's a similar premise but I don't recall much of the original since I never caught it much in reruns as some of the other shows from back then.

    Binge watched The Umbrella Academy over the weekend. I hardly ever binge watch anything because I can't stand to watch television for hours on end (unless its sports) but I felt compelled to in this case. Great adaptation from the graphic novel.

    Really interested in Doom Patrol (Grant Morrison is my all time favorite graphic novel author) but there is no way in hell I'm paying $8.99 for an additional streaming service with like 3 shows in its roster.

    DC Universe also has a good library of other movies and TV shows, plus the biggest draw is comics.

    Ehhh. I already got Comixology on my Kindle so I'm kinda set on the graphic novel front. Its library is pretty extensive.

    I'll wait another year or 2 to see what DC adds to its stable.

    Does anyone watch King Of The Hill?

    A question for any fans: is it supposed to be funny?

    I'm not being a wise-ass; when I gave it a try (many years ago), it was literally not funny (to me) even once, but it was coherent etc., so I wonder it if is even intended to be. Perhaps I missed the point; perhaps it is intended to be some kind of deadpan satire (unlike Friends, for example, which clearly intends to be funny, but which isn't).

    Not criticizing, just wondering (except for Friends, which I am criticizing; it is fucking terrible).

    FYI, I like other Mike Judge things, B&B, Office Space, Silicon Valley, etc.

    Same here. I think it's supposed to have very subtle or dry humor that just doesn't reach certain people.

    I had read one time that the entire show could be written as a live sitcom and nothing would change about it. There's literally no "cartoon physics" like you have in most animated shows. Everything they do on the show, can actually happen in real life.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
